Orchard Retreat was a fantastic cottage.. Everything you need is in the cottage. The view from the main bedroom was amazing looking onto the lovely garden. It was a great base for exploring the area. We didn't have great weather but we still managed to have a lovely family week. Our granddaughter loved running around the garden. We had a barbeque on the last night which was great. Sue and Nick were on hand if we had any questions. We certainly hope to return.

Orchard Retreat is an exceptional cottage, although it is located next to the owner's property the cottage has total privacy and there are good views over a stream and hillside.. The standard of construction of the cottage is high and the garden is attractive. The location of the cottage is close to a network of footpaths so we were able to walk for four or five hours directly from the cottage onto interesting walks. There are attractions nearby within a short drive including Sidmouth, Branscombe and the Donkey Sanctuary; it is also not too far from Exeter.

The property was lovely and a beautiful location.. The garden in the winter is good for viewing birds as there are very large trees at the end with no leaves so you can see straight through. The large windows straight into the garden we particularly enjoyed early in the morning when opening the doors you could hear birds singing and watch them in the feeders.

Lovely accommodation, very peaceful and so quiet! Beautifully appointed and an easy place to stay. Will certainly return if we come to the area again. Only criticism was on the booking side. Personally I would rather deal with owners direct on initial booking rather than wait for final payment when details are then released. My message to Sykes that we wouldn’t be staying for a whole week was not passed on to owners and they didn’t know until I phoned regarding key collection about a week before our arrival

Beautiful cottage, very peaceful, excellent inside, everything included.. Ideal location for traveling up and down the coast. In our view the design of the cottage is superb, could not fault it. Gardens and grounds are a haven for wildlife, we spent many hours looking out at all the activity. Could happily live there !!! Would not hesitate in recommending to family and friends.

This was just about the BEST place we have ever stayed and was just what we needed at quite a stressful time of our lives.. Spotlessly clean. Totally quiet with a beautiful garden to enjoy. Host we lovely but unobtrusive. Although out of the way, we were not far from the coast, walks and amenities. O', and the sun shone!!!!!
