Guests say

Harcombe House Bungalow 8 is highly praised for its immaculate cleanliness, spaciousness, and comfortable accommodation. The peaceful location offers stunning countryside views, with a range of facilities including a cafe/bar, pool, tennis court, and children's play area. Staff are commended for being friendly and helpful, contributing to a relaxing holiday experience. Some minor suggestions for improvement include better light-blocking blinds and more flexible pool hours.

Guests consistently noted the bungalow was immaculately clean and well-maintained, reflecting high standards of cleanliness.

The location is celebrated for its stunning views and tranquillity, with easy access to Devon's main attractions. However, the absence of an on-site shop for essentials was noted.

The bungalow is described as light, spacious, and comfortable with comfy beds. One review mentioned a discrepancy in the advertised number of bathrooms, slightly affecting the comfort score.

Facilities like the cafe/bar, pool, and tennis court are appreciated, though there were comments on pool availability and a desire for extended hours. The absence of a second bathroom contrary to the advertisement has been noted.

There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category.

  • Sarah

    The staff were friendly and helpful. We will be recommending your bungalows to our friends.

  • Chris

    The front of desk staff at the main building did occasionally feel quite abrupt in their manner, never impolite, but it did feel like I was being told off rather than spoken with when getting information from them. Felt more like admin staff than reception staff so missing that customer focus approach in my interactions. Almost like i was being an inconvenience by asking simple questions like etiquette for the pool, facility open times. all that being said we wouldnt think twice about staying again, although I would probably look for a bungalow a bit closer to the facilities, this bungalow is up near the top of the hill.

    Arrived at cottage to find only one Bathroom not two as is clearly advertised in your description. We are most disappointed and feel some recompense should be made.
