We found the Retreat at Gitcombe as described online and first found on Instagram .Beautifully appointed & very spacious . Set amongst well maintained peaceful gardens. Everything was well thought out from the beautiful large sofas, to a cupboard full of all you needs for a baby or toddler. The views from the wrap around balcony across the estate were stunning and far reaching across the surrounding countryside . During our stay all of us including the baby made use of the two pools. The outside pool enjoys a well positioned site in the sun with sunlounges and umbrellas Peter the ow...more
A wonderful location with indoor and outdoor pools, hot tub with a great view, a spacious house with all equipment needed and more, great for holiday with extended family.
We had a brilliant stay in Garden House, Gitcombe. The facilities are really excellent, both pools were exactly the right temperature and the views from the hot tub were just beautiful. The local countryside is lovely, so much birdlife (I heard bunting, skylarks, buzzards, ravens and linnet for example). We even saw some glow worms which was very exciting! The owners were so friendly and helpful with suggestions for the local area. The kitchen was extremely well stocked with utensils, I don't think I've stayed anywhere that had such a good range and that makes a real difference when you are...more
Our stay at Gitcombe was practically perfect in every way. Lovely facilities (tennis, swimming, walks etc), a well thought-out activity shed (crabbing kits, beach bits, balls and raquets), responsive hosts, convenient location (Dartmouth and Totnes 15mins away), a well stocked kitchen in terms of utensils and equipment (a bugbear of mine in rental properties), and best of all.....Peace and quiet. Bliss
As a family of 4 (7 year old and 4 year old children), we have returned to Gitcombe for many years. This year was our favourite (despite the weather having turned a little!). We explored more of Dartmouth, Totnes and Salcombe. It’s the loveliest, child friendly, location to be based to explore surrounding Devon. The cottages are excellently equipped and the customer service is wonderful. Thank you, Emma, for being so accommodating.
An idyllic location with immaculately cared for properties. Swimming pools playground and lots of safe open space makes it perfect for a relaxing family holiday. Lovely hosts.
We had such an enjoyable stay at The Coach House on the Gitcombe Estate! The accommodation was exceptionally well equipped, with everything we needed from appliances and kitchen utensils to all the little extras in between. A special mention goes to the fantastic provisions for toddlers, which were incredibly helpful and saved us from having to bring so much with us. The facilities were excellent and never felt overcrowded, making it easy to relax and enjoy our stay. The owners were always on hand to help with any queries, and I can't thank them enough for kindly returning my headphones ...more
Lovely place to stay with the family. Houses are properly equipped with anything you need, even for toddlers.
We had a fabulous family holiday here in Gitcombe staying in the Haytor cottage. We were extremely lucky with the weather and so were able to make use of all the exceptional facilities including the outdoor pool, tennis courts, jacuzzi and children's play park. The indoor pool was also excellent especially when the sun was too hot at midday. Peter and his team keep the grounds impeccably. The facilities are very good. It is a relaxed, beautiful place to stay and especially good for young children. Although full it never felt busy. The Haytor was well equipped but quite compact. We spen...more
