What our customers say about their holidays

  We booked Medland for a family holiday, five adults, two teenagers and a dog.

  The property is ideally situated for exploring South Devon with lots to see and do. Chudleigh offers a selection of pubs, small shops and a Co-op, shame the fish and chip shop was closed when we were there. The sitting room was comfortable, though doesn't really cater for eight people, only offering a two seater and three seater sofa, plus a bean bag. The dining room was spacious, with a table and chairs for eight people. Unfortunately the sofa in the dining room isn't "a nice spot to unwind whilst waiting for those delightful meals to warm up" it's extremely uncomfortable and desperately needs throwing away. The front bedroom is very noisy early in the morning as it faces the road and the traffic noise "booms" between the buildings. We all found the beds uncomfortable, it's a shame the owners haven't taken on board the previous comments and at least replaced the mattresses. Two of our party went home early due to the lack of a good nights sleep. The kitchen had adequate utensils and pans, the dishwasher door didn't seem to close properly and a two slice toaster doesn't work very well for eight people. Parking is a challenge, but with a bit of persistence I managed with my Honda CR-V. I'm leaving this review hoping that the owners will make the effort to invest in the property, to improve the decoration, replace the tired bed linen and crockery, to name but a few things. The saving light was Becky who was extremely helpful, especially when the rain came in through the kitchen ceiling! If your a family looking for a holiday in Devon I would seriously look for better value elsewhere.

  The lodge is in a very ideal location for exploring Dartmoor, Torbay and the rest of South Devon.

  We didn't meet many of the staff but the ones we did meet were very friendly and helpful. This is probably the cleanest place we've ever stayed at. Everything was spotless and felt brand new. It looks exactly like the photos on the site. The double bed was a little uncomfortable though and also the pillows. WiFi was very good - no issues streaming. The showers were great. The kitchen was very well equipped. The cupcakes left for us were amazing! There were 4 of us in total (2 adults, 2 children) plus our dog. Unfortunately we decided to leave a couple of days early before the arrival of Storm Ciaran but we would definitely return to this site and would highly recommend it.

  First I would like to say how pleasant Becky was & the welcome pack was a nice touch.

  The beds were very uncomfortable & we were all having a bit of a problem by the end of the week. There was very poor water pressure upstairs & if anyone turned a tap on while you were in the shower, it would stop. It was impossible to have both showers going at any one time. The lounge was cosy and, as a party of 4, this was fine, but it would be a bit tight if there were 6 adults. Finally, I would have liked to have hoovered the lounge floor before leaving but could not find one, also no dustpan or brush? It was also very dirty, one of the chest of drawers had sugar on top of it and was black when wiped. Little things, I know but make a difference.

  Had a lovely week here, the cottage was large enough for us and our two greyhounds, equipped with everything we needed.

  Beds and sofas were comfortable, sofa in the dining room by the fire probably just needs throwing away, Garden is properly enclosed which is great. The parking space is a bit tight but we were able to park in it, Becky stopped by and was really helpful, and will get the bins out for you on bin night if she can get to them. Location wise, the cottage is just a short walk away from shops and pubs etc. and Chudleigh is great and really dog friendly and a great base for exploring other parts of Devon/torquay etc. Overall a great stay and we look forward to booking again soon!

  This is a spacious cottage over 3 levels.

  It has everything you need to have a good holiday. There is a welcome pack on arrival with all the essentials for a drink and a treat to have before you unpack. A welcoming housekeeper on hand if you need anything. Just a note that although it has a parking space at the side it is very tight and larger cars will not fit in the space. Street parking is very sparce as its taken up by residents and double yellow lines. Also its on a main Rd so noise from the traffic wakes you up. Situated in a lovely town with friendly folk.
