What our customers say about their holidays

  The property was in a quiet location, spacious, very warm, with very comfortable beds, had superb walks on the doorstep and the wifi was fine for remote working.

  It was a good base for us whilst we viewed properties in the area and it was perfect for Dartmoor exploration. On arrival, there were a few issues though.....toilets, sinks, the bin, multiple surfaces and floors hadn't been properly cleaned; there was a loose toilet seat and both showers were faulty; the hoover didn't work properly; numerous kitchen items were dirty and there was no kindling in the 'starter pack' for the fire. Elsewhere, there was no bedside lighting in the main bedroom (there were two small battery operated lights in there with flat batteries) and we weren't left a 'welcome pack' as per previous guests. The owner doesn't live close by so is presumably reliant on local support to manage the property for her, and she has clearly been let down. However, the property could definitely be enhanced to make it feel homely and lived-in (eg. artwork on bedroom and lounge walls; books & games on the empty shelves in the lounge; better 'soft' lighting in the bedrooms and lounge for reading and relaxing). Overall, despite feeling very disappointed at the condition of the property at the start, we made the best of our time here, and would recommend this property as a place with HUGE potential but one that would benefit from more hands-on management to make sure that guests settle in without any issues.

  This place is a real find.

  The lodge is situated in a very scenic and tranquil area, from almost every window you have fabulous views over the valley and countryside. It is both cosy and spacious. You will find the lodge fitted out to a very high standard with everything you need. The beds are exceptionally comfortable and bathrooms modern and very clean as is the everywhere in the property. It is evident much thought went into the design and provision. The linen is beautifully clean and cosy. The log burner for chilly nights with all logs provided. You can sit out on the patio or enjoy the hot tub, again enjoying the views and tranquility. There are walks locally for those who wish to get in to the countryside and the coast is within easy reach.The owners are very helpful and genuinely make sure you enjoy your stay. It ticked all the boxes for us, we have had a lovely week and feel rested and relaxed. There is a large supermarket and for those with electric cars there are fast charges in Crediton, a short drive from the lodge.

  A very quiet and peaceful location within fairly easy reach of major roads.

  The welcome pack provided was very much appreciated. One very minor observation was made about the seating in the lounge - the seats were very comfortable, but not easy to rise from. Having recieved a welcome email from the owner , Sharon, this was duly mentioned to her aand noted for future referenceThe parking was more than adequate, . We found that by turning right out of the cottage and travelling under the bridge, it was quicker access to more major roads for onward journeys. However as the village roads are quite narrow, I can imagine that this direction may prove a little difficult for larger vehicles. All in all we had a wonderful stay - thyank you.

  Beautiful chalet in an amazing location/. The Forda Hill Chalet was the ideal getaway for a long weekend on the North Devon Coast. The chalet was exceptionally clean & beautifully furnished & ideal for a couple looking to escape in a beautiful part of the world. The chalet is ideally located meaning you can walk to Croyde & Putsborough beaches & two great pubs in the village as well, the Kings Arms especially is worth a visit. The hot tub was a great way to relax at the end of a day of hiking or jumping through the surf all day. I would highly recommend this place to stay & would return myself

  We had a lovely break at Forda Hill Chalet. The accommodation is of a very high standard and we love that we could take our dogs for a walking holiday. It is a short walk into Croyde to go and eat at the pub, we were able to walk to Putsborough and on to Woolacombe along my favourite beach in the world, and generally enjoy North Devon as one of our favourite places to be, and the use of the hot tub topped it all off! I’d like to make note of the bed that was probably one of the most comfortable beds I have stayed on when not at home. Thank you for a lovely break.
