Perfect!
The cottage was a truly wonderful home from home. We couldn't have asked for more. So comfortable, clean and very relaxing to stay there.
The gym and sauna, hot tub were an added bonus. The location was fabulous and so peaceful. Our hosts were lovely and so helpful and accommodating.
There wasn't anything we didn't like

It was my only holiday of the year and I wish we'd gone to Spain.
The property was excellent but the weather was awful so I wouldn't do it again or recommend it to anyone.

We had an amazing stay. Luxurious cottages, great facilities and welcoming and helpful hosts
We were a big group and Downe Cottages worked really well for us. Our hosts greeted us and gave us lots of helpful information about the local area and places to visit and were really accommodating. The location is beautiful and the cottages were full of character but also a really high standard. We loved using the gym and hot tub facilities there. We would definitely go back!

Lovely peaceful retreat.
Really lovely cottages. Well equipped, cosy, comfortable. Nice sea views from the courtyard. Great communal facilities too - sunny lounge, spa pool and sauna, well equipped gym. A perfect compromise between wanting self catering space, whilst also getting much of what is offered in a nice hotel.
We had a few issues (not related to the property) which the owners tried to help us with.
Not the owners fault but Booking.com had advertised this as a 2 bedroom property. The owners are aware there is an issue, and are trying to rectify it with booking.com, who are not being helpful.
Watch for the potholes on local roads. We got a puncture. Follow the owners directions rather than satnav for better roads in.

Lovely cottage
The cottage was very comfortable and clean. A wood burner created a cozy and memorable atmosphere - we used it nearly every night!
Also chocolates and wine left by Jeremy and Lynda which was so thoughtful.
Bed was very comfortable and water pressure in the shower amazing. There is also a sauna, small gym and library for guests to use.
You have everything you need to cook if you wanted to and also dishwasher and washing machine.
Jeremy and Lynda were brilliant hosts. Nothing was too much trouble.
The area is stunning!!
We loved every minute there and we will definitely be back.

Great escape in Devon
Near the shore of Hartland, cozy „village“ of a few cottages, tranquil area to re-energize and charge your batteries.
Great sunsets to watch 😉 and very charming Hosts with good tips for Trips and food.
45 minutes away is RHS Rosemoore Garden, great to explore English Garden Designs.
When travelling for the first time in England please be aware of narrow Farm Tracks (called „Road without a Name“ 😂 in the NavSat) to get there and around.

The perfect location for exploring north Devon into Cornwall or Somerset. Just great!
Beautifully appointed cottage within easy reach (by car) of the local villages and pubs. Cottage contained everything we needed. Lovely, clean and fresh. We also like the gym and spa facilities and the beautiful gardens. So tranquil there…so quiet that hares regularly visited. We would definitely love to revisit.

Perfect getaway
The cottage was a real home from home, very comfortable and cosy. A wood burner was available (we obviously didn't use it in the heatwave) which was lovely. TV with Sky and Netflix, also chocolates and wine left by Jeremy and Lynda which was so thoughtful. There is a spa, sauna, hot tub, gym and library for guests to use. Jeremy and Lynda are very easy to chat to but not at all intrusive. The area is stunning!! We aim to come back later in the year for more home comforts and exploring.

To pick just one thing that made our stay uncomfortable was the mattress. It was not only hard but lumpy and tended to sink in the middle which Interupted our sleep

Peaceful, quiet and soothing!
The cottages are comfortable, clean and well fitted out. It's an excellent location, with hiking trails,
fantastic scenery and an awesome waterfall at Spekes mill mouth. It did feel like being in an episode of game of thrones, hiking amongst all the vast landscape, minus the sword weilding bandits and dragons! Back at the cottages, there is full access to the gym, sauna and steam which are great for use after a full day out. Peaceful, quiet and soothing, with great hosts to assist along the way, when needed!

This is a wonderful property in an exceptional location. The cottage is spotless and well-equipped and the owners friendly, generous and very helpful. The grounds are beautiful, and the "bonus" facilities of the gym, spa, games room and library are a terrific asset. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Amazing location, quiet and super friendly and helpful hosts. Nice touches in the cottage like chocolates and wine on arrival. Jeremy showed us around and how to use things. We really appreciate the fact that the cottages were a little out of Hartland - made for a very restful time.

Lovely, luxurious stay in charming, well-equipped cottages, with rural views all the way to the sea.
Jeremy and Lynda are extremely helpful and the location was beautiful and tranquil. The only reason I didn't choose the very happiest face for 'location' was because, although there are some lovely beaches within half an hour, we found we were travelling an hour or 1 hr 15 if we wanted to do activities such as a surfing lesson at Croyde beach or coasteering at Tintagel. This was because we were holidaying with grown-up sons who like their activities and it meant a little more driving. If it was just us - a middle-aged couple wanting to explore this dramatic part of the South-West Coastal path, or perhaps if our children were much younger and only needed a beach, bucket and spade (or indeed, if we didn't mind driving), this wouldn't have been an issue at all. It is extremely convenient for good local walks, beautiful sunsets at Hartland Quay and for visiting the heritage village of Clovelly. I loved how, first thing in the morning, all you could hear were the sheep, the house martins and swallows (I think?!) and the bees, with views to the sea and Lundy Island in the distance.
My husband is 6 ft 4 and, having had cause to visit one of the other cottages, I know this isn't normally an issue at Downe, but may be worth checking out if you are tall and want the ease of not having to remember to duck.

Good but dated and location isnt as good as we had hoped.
The owners are friendly and helpful. The view outside of the cottages is amazing.
I think the facilities are a little dated but good, we had to clean when we used anything, for example it’s expected that you clean down all the gym and spa equipment after use.
The supermarket is half an hour away, the village is ok and the people are friendly but there isn’t much there only a few pubs that are basic but good value.
The beaches are a drive away not many that you can walk too especially with children.
