About this property

Little Orchard is a large house with lots of rooms but as soon as you walk through the door it instantly has that cosy feeling. The large driveway can easily accommodate 5 cars and the secluded garden mostly grassed with shrubs surrounds the whole property allowing ample space for children and pets to enjoy. The patio area is off the lounge and is a real sun trap, ideal for BBQs and cocktails.
The large living room is off the kitchen which in March is being refitted to include an island, perfect for social cooking and entertaining. There is also a separate dining room to the rear of the property overlooking the garden, which can seat up to 10 people.
There is a mini gym on the ground floor with a spin bike, some free weights and a TV for doing any of your favourite workouts.
Upstairs there are two king bedrooms, a twin room and a camper van bunk bed in the 4th bedroom, all sharing the main bathroom with shower over bathtub. As this house has a double bedroom and 2nd bathroom downstairs this may be ideal for more senior guests or for families who wish to spread out and optimise the space available. Off the kitchen there is a utility room and downstairs toilet with a shower, perfect for hosing those muddy/sandy paws or feet off after exploring the wonderful walks/beaches in this area.

Week Stay In Devon

This is our fourth or fifth booking with Vrbo, and as ever the comms and accuracy were perfect. No issues with the booking process. The location is great. Its close to the local beaches and bays and is nicely located in the countryside. The house is large, and with more than enough room for our 10 member family. My parents liked the downstairs bedroom, which was handy, and there were enough toilets and bathrooms for us all. Sky TV is available, and was handy for those evenings in, and the kitchen was very well equipped. A couple of comments (not negative), but perhaps as suggestions. There is no tumble dryer or airer, so when we washed clothes after being at the beach we struggled to get things dry, especially as it was a bit wet and rainy and we couldn't hang it outside on the washing line (which would have been fine normally). Secondly, we seemed to suffer from a few large hornets (we think) at night in the area and they were at the windows (front and back) in the evening. Luckily it was a bit chilly and we didn't have windows open, but if it was warm we may have been inundated by them. I wonder if there is a nest nearby? It did mean that we were reluctant to open windows or sit out in the evening! Aside from those couple of small items, our stay was lovely.

Milford House

Very pleased with our stay, property clean and functional and as described in brochure and very well equipped with all things you look for when holidaying including gym, BBQ, sky, kitchen facilitates, etc. Plenty room for parking (we had 3 cars) and good size garden for the children to play. The location was a little rural and the roads to the property a bit tight (although typical N Devon), the satnav helped to get around. As you expect in a rural location internet wasn't great although functional

About the host

Hosted by Zoe England

New to this area we moved here from the Midlands with our 4 year old son Wilson and two dogs Beau and Milla, seeking a slower pace of life and to raise our son by the coast. Hartland has more than exceeded our expectations and we instantly fell in love with the area and natural beauty around us. We always dreamt about living by the coast, we broke the mould and made this dream a reality.

Why they chose this property

This property is newly decorated with ample space for larger families and could even accommodate the in-laws or two small families. The location of this house is what sets it aside from many others, the endless walks, natural outstanding beauty, dramatic coastline and natural waterfalls are all within walking distance. You will feel like you are a million miles from home here and relax with nature and observe the wildlife around you.

What makes this property unique

Little Orchard has a very cosy feel for a larger house, with a semi-open plan lounge and kitchen which makes a sociable setting for you and your family. With a double bedroom and separate bathroom downstairs this is ideal for senior guests or to allow families to spread out and optimise their own space.
The peaceful secluded south facing garden surrounds the whole property allowing much space to enjoy the sunny days, all you will hear are the birds and on some days the ocean crashing against the cliffs. No need to worry about traffic the quiet lanes add to this secluded tranquil location.
