  This is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle.

  You feel as if you are tucked away in the heart of the countryside, yet it is only a short drive away from Dartmouth, and even closer to two supermarkets (Lidl and Sainsburys). The apartment was very warm, comfortable and spacious, with a lovely view from the little balcony. Perfect for one or two people. My dog absolutely loved having her own dedicated, giant, grassy garden to sniff and play in. It had a table and seating there, which I am sure would be lovely to eat at in the warmer weather. Sue was very welcoming and helpful and nothing was a problem. The welcome basket was very generous and I really enjoyed munching my way through the contents. Thank you. The bedroom was spacious with plenty of storage space for clothes and bags. And a very comfortable bed. You will see other visitors have commented about the access road, Yes, it is narrow, bumpy and twisty and you need to drive slowly and carefully, but my Renault Scenic coped fine, even fully loaded. So please don't let that put you off. I am very happy to recommend Lower Norton Farm Apartment to you.

  The cottage is lovely; you enter via the back yard and back door into a roomy kitchen/diner which lacks cupboard space.

  The lounge is very comfortable and the TV has Netflix which was an added bonus. The double bed is slightly hard and uncomfortable and the shower is slow, but overall, the cottage is very good. No visitors' book to complete which is a shame as we always enjoy reading where people have been to get some tips of where to go. The village is small with a very busy main road running through the middle of it. The shop stocked everything you could possibly need for a week's holiday. No dog walking places in the village unfortunately which meant we had to walk around the very narrow country lanes first thing each morning which wasn't so safe. Harbertonford is ideal for exporing south Devon and despite being there while storm Alex raged for 2 days we managed to visit Totnes (great for shops), Bovey Tracey (great for dog walking), Dartmouth, Salcombe, Paignton and Brixham. Overall, we had a great week and would return to the cottage.

  This apartment is spectacular.

  The views from the balcony are lovely and although you are so close to a large town it is incredibly peaceful. The apartment was immaculate and incredibly roomy. The welcome pack of milk, wine, scones, clotted cream, cereal, cake and tea coffee and sugar were delightful and were all used. The owners were easy to contact to deal with. This apartment was central to everything we wanted to do and I would highly recommend the Steam train and Paddle steamer trip from Dartmouth/Kingswear although I would recommend using the park and ride as parking is difficult in Dartmouth. A couple of small details, although it is only for two people a couple more plates and more cutlery would be helpful. The main issue is the track to the property. We kept bottoming our car (which isn't particularly low slung) on the uneven surface. If the track could be sorted we would definitely be booking again.

  We loved our stay at Lower Norton Apartment and would definitely come again and recommend it to others.

  Bed and settees are very comfortable. It's a lovely big, light, bright, airy space with beautiful views. We were able to cook adequately and appreciated the welcome pack of goodies. As others have said, the approach lane takes careful, slow driving, but our old CRV managed it ok and we didn't find it a problem. In any case, plenty of local lanes are narrow with hedgerows overhanging passing places, so Devon may not be the ideal place for anyone precious about their car! We did have to take our dogs out on their leads for their comfort breaks as there's no enclosed garden seperate from those staying in the property beneath. Maybe to help this, a nightlight could be placed in the lane outside? Ideally located to visit Dartmouth and other local places of interest. Good food shops and decent pubs for meals out are also easily reached from the apartment.

  Pillows need replacing.

  They were as flat as a pancake. We acually had to buy two new ones. The blinds in the main lounge kept flying back up. An extra ittle table at the end of the settee would be good, as we were worried about putting down a glass of wine on the carpet. The balcony needed a good clean,as there were cobwebs everywhere. But I quite understand if cleaners left them for the swallows feeding under the eaves. Other than that the apartment is stunning , very spacious, and very comfortable. The welcome pack of food was a lovely surprise. It was situated in a wonderful location with amazing views from the small balcony. .We would come back again, if the driveway was not so bumpy. But don't think the drive down the lane to the apartment did my neck any good. Definitely need a 4x4 or a land rover.
