From Drewsteignton a long lane leads west, wonderful Dartmoor views from every hill-crest as you go. 1 3/4 miles along it, a tinier lane right takes you in 300 yards to a former farmstead on the side of a beautiful farming valley, and the former threshing barn and stables converted into three very good, very attractive cottages. All good quality, comfortable furniture and pretty d'r/fabrics throughout. On its south side, each cottage has its own enclosed decked patio (picnic table, barbecue); on their other side is the delightful owner's farmhouse, across the gravelled forecourt. No other habitation near. Indoor heated swimming pool (18'6" x 9'5" x 3'9" deep) with counter-current machine, sauna, shower and loos. Games barn (table tennis, 1/2 sized billiard table). Children's fenced, grassed play area. Area for boules. Eight acres of pasture-land to wander (long, beautiful views from it and some upstairs windows); pond (fenced) with call ducks, chickens (complimentary free range eggs usually available), fantail doves about. Stabling for your horse available.

We have stayed at this place 18 times so we must like it. The fact is your service is very good and we have always found you so helpful that we always finish up actually booking a holiday even when we were only researching and not committed to the idea yet. Keep up the good work. We keep reccommending you. Yours Alan and Gloria Crook |

Congratulations on a first class service and most helpful descriptions of your properties. Old Orchard, its facilities and hosts were all superb. Thank you - we really needed the break. |

| Cottage Review:
Old Orchard at East Underdown completely fulfilled our holiday expectations. An excellently appointed cottage; so many thoughtful features to make the cottage a home from home. The pool was spotlessly clean and, just as we had hoped, we used it each day. The position of the cottage is ideal. Very peaceful and very yet very handy for the main road. We had a wonderful holiday, despite the less than ideal weather! |
