  Our stay at Orchard Retreat was simply perfect, The owners were incredibly accommodating from the moment we arrived, we were given a lengthy and detailed tour accompanied with some brilliant recommendations, we felt so at ease right away.

  The cabin itself had everything you could need for a cosy getaway, the interior is so well done and everything was of a very high quality. The hot tub was the Piece De Resistance, it was such an easy setup and the fact it maintained a constant temperature meant we could get in whenever we liked, the speakers made it even more wonderful once you were sat inside, we used the hot tub 2 or 3 times a day when we were there. The views out over the fields and the surrounding trees made the perfect backdrop to sit and gaze out into. Every morning we were able to sit and watch the Large birds flying around and one morning we even saw the farmer herding the sheep. The fire pit was so good to have on the chilly mornings and evenings, the firelighters provided worked a treat and our firewood was replenished when we asked. The hosts answered our calls and questions whenever we had anything we needed to know and were incredibly friendly during our entire stay. Their 4 legged friends were also a delight. In terms of places to go and things to do, you certainly won't run out, the local farm shop is juts a 10 minute drive and the produce in there was to die for! We went for a lovely long walk on our last day and visited the 13th century church on the recommendations of our host. It was a brilliant and picturesque walk with so many good photo opportunities. We really couldn't have asked for a better stay and will most certainly be visiting again!

  Really lovely pod, perfect for the two of us and our dog. We loved the hot tub and found the whole pod absolutely lovely to stay in. However there are some things that we were slightly disappointed with. The pod is dog friendly and we loved the little box of treats and dog bowls, however there is not security for the dog, no gate to the cabin area mean that the dog could very easily get out into the field and subsequently the road, we were lucky that we bought something to block the entry way, so might be something to note for future stays. We would have also liked some more information on arrival, there is an info pack, but it seemed to miss out things such as recycling, how to use the hot tub etc. We also arrived to some sort of meat item which was half frozen in the fridge, we were so unsure as to what this was to begin with, as it was just in a sandwich bag and we thought that it had just been left by previous guests. Although there were some negatives, the positives really outweighed them. The pod is beautiful, don’t up to a great standard, beautiful location and was just perfect for what we needed. We will thoroughly looking to book another trip here later in the year, and would recommend to anyone.

  I would like to thank you for making our stay so perfect in every way possible.

  On arrival there was a cream tea waiting for us and some milk, tea and coffee if you haven't brought your own. The scone was delicious! The lodge has lots of space for two people and the open plan set up was perfect. The bed was extremely comfortable as were the sofa and chair and unlike a lot of rentals you had also provided footstools which is a must in our eyes for comfort. The kitchen was fully equipped and there was a powerful shower in the bathroom. It was the quietest place and had terrific views across the valley. You hadn't skimped on anything and I wish every owner of a holiday rental took the care and consideration for their guests that you did. It was a refreshing delight that the photographs actually matched the 5 star accommodation, well done and we will be telling our family and friends about it without hesitation. Thanks again.

  The cottage was an absolute dream to stay in, it was so nice to get off of the roundabout of city life and experience total peace and quiet and not a street light in sight or the sound of any cars.

  Although we didn’t see them very often the owners were helpful if you needed them. The cottage was very well equipped and tea coffee etc was provided. Tea towels washing up liquid and cloths were also provided there was also good quality towels supplied. Basic condiments were on hand to use salt pepper vinegar etc although I’m not sure if the owners supplied them or they were left by other visitors to the cottage. There was no tv in the cottage which we was not too bothered about but it would of been nice to have the choice. There is no local shops i think the nearest one was about 6 miles away so if you intend to cook make sure you come armed with your supplies. Our dog loved the freedom of the walks and running about in the fields which the owners are happy for you to explore. We would definitely return to salters again.

  Beautiful place to stay.

  The lodge had everything you could possibly need, was immaculate, tastefully furnished, extremely comfortable and cosy. The garden and property were maintained to a very high standard, and the garden was safe and secure for our dog. Due to the heavy rain recently the steep uneven driveway was a bit of a challenge, but that was a minor issue. The owners were very friendly and helpful, we felt so welcome. The train in Yeoford was brilliant, takes you either to Exeter or to Barnstaple, and there are lovely walks. It was the most restful and quiet holiday we have had for a very long time. After acquiring a dog rather late in life, we found this new self catering holiday experience to be exceptionally enjoyable and have already booked for next year.
