Gitcombe has always provided high-quality holiday cottages on a well-maintained, extremely child-friendly site. My children are big now , but when they were small it was absolutely fine to just let them loose to play in the grounds. Facilities are excellent ; cottages spotlessly clean and well-equipped.

What a find! Emma and the owners were so kind and accommodating to our last minute plans, and they made sure we had everything we needed for our twin toddlers.

The site is beautiful with wild flowers and rolling hills. Our girls loved the pool, adventure playground and tennis court. Everything was in easy reach, making it relaxing for us parents too. I particularly loved the hot tub with those amazing views. Top class beaches and eateries close by and our girls got a taste for crab and fish n chips.

Some very happy family memories made here and we can’t wait to return. Thank you to the team for a fantastic few days. X

Having stayed in the retreat previously with my family we book Meavy cottage to celebrate NYE. Lovely surprise on arrival of a fab bottle of champagne . Which we enjoyed toasting in the new year . As before everything is high end quality , furnishings , appliances etc. Emma is only a text message away to help with any issues . The only comment I have is there is a lack of storage space in the twin room , if you’re staying for more than a few days . But not a huge issue. We will return to Gitcombe again. It’s truly awesome .

We had a lovely time at Gitcombe during the October half term. There was plenty to do and see within a 30 - 40 minute drive from the cottage. What made the stay special were the facilities on site, the playground, tennis court, sauna, pool and jacuzzi! We were regular users and it was a great way to unwind at the end of the day after exploring the area in the morning/afternoon.

Thanks Emma, Peter, Rodney and team!

This is the second time we’ve stayed at Gitcombe and it was just as wonderful as the first. The location is beautiful and a great base for exploring the surrounding towns, sights and beaches. Gitcombe itself has excellent facilities to keep everyone busy if you don’t head out. The Meavy is a great cottage for our family of 4, beautifully finished and with all the home comforts you’d need during your stay

Brilliant, as ever. Facilities are perfect. Nothing beats an indoor spa and outdoor hot tub with that view. And love that you update. I like the sound of an outside table tennis table as an addition. We always have an amazing time. Cottages are just lovely. Would only recommend the addition of a washing up drainer and maybe some usb points but this is picky really as we have been so many times! It’s so friendly, easy and comfortable. Thank you

Compared to other similar properties, Gitcombe is very good value. Accommodation was comfortable, clean and tidy, a good size for a family of four.

The pool, sauna and steam room are all good, constant depth of pool made it easier for younger children. The view from the hot tub is beautiful.

Can’t think of a reason we wouldn’t go back again.

A lovely place to stay in a great location with lovely maintained grounds and facilities.

The barn was perfect for us three just the right size although the spiral stairs were a bit of a challenge for my elderly mum.

An upstairs cloakroom is needed here.

The pool was lovely and warm and the hottest jacuzzi I’ve ever been in.

We loved Gitcombe and Meavy barn. We had a great week there with our 19 month old, despite the weather!
The facilities are perfect for young children. We used the indoor pool and playroom everyday. We cottage was really well equipped. My only negative was that there was quite a few dusty corners and cobwebs. I think because toddlers tend to explore every nook and corner We saw them more than most!
Location is perfect for exploring South Devon

This is the second time we have stayed at Gitcombe. It is very rare that we stay in the same place more than once yet Gitcombe remains the exception. The cottage is finished to a high spec and the facilities on site are second to none. Gitcombe remains a great place for families with young children and I would recommend the site to anyone in all honesty.

Hi Emma, Peter, Rodney,
Thanks again for a wonderful stay at Gitcombe. Everything was perfect again, and we were especially lucky with the weather (again!). It was in fact so hot that there was not sufficient shade at the pool to be there and not get overheated which says everything about the exceptional weather we had this week.

Our third time at Gitcombe didn’t disappoint. We stayed in Meavy Barn, which sleeps 4 and overlooks the tennis court and children's park. As usual the facilities were exceptional, communications from Emma and Peter were superb and the location was idyllic paradise. Despite the storms and lack of foliage in bloom, it’s still a beautiful area of the country with tons to do. We went to Totnes, Dartington Hall’s Barn Cinema, Dartmouth, Kingswear and the steam train to Paignton, as well as a trip to Dartmoor. All were great days out. Meals at The Cott Inn and Bayards Cove Inn were excellent too. I cannot recommend highly enough.
Here’s a montage video of our week: https://youtu.be/NP-Sw9xiTdg

The place is truly exceptional with the accommodation and facilities set at a very high standard. The estate is excellent for children and we would recommend this for any families. The location is also great to travel to anywhere in Devon.

The ultimate accolade for us is that we have booked again for next year which is something as a rule we never usually do.

Meavy barn was beautiful and in an amazing setting. Had all the equipment we requested for out toddler. Owners were very helpful sorting out food shop out when it arrived earlier than expected. Lovely box of treats in the house when we arrived. Swimming pool and hot tub were great for rainy days. Enjoyed Blackpool sands, dittisham, Dartmouth, south Milton sands and hope cove. Steam train to Paignton was fun. Loads of toddler friendly activities nearby and lots of good places to eat and drink- we look forward to returning once the covid restrictions have been eased further! The barn was spotless and we felt very safe staying there despite covid. Would definitely recommend to families with young children.

Meavy Cottage and the Gitcombe estate were simply wonderful and the pictures are very true to how beautiful and well looked after they both are.
This was a fantastic place to bring a small child; despite the Covid restrictions, we were still able to use lots of the facilities and I expect this is even better in summertime.

The cottage is really well furnished with kitchen items including washing tablets etc. All high end appliances and cookware making it very easy to cook etc. Beds are comfy and it’s very quiet too.

We plan to come back very soon!

We just returned from a magical holiday at Gitcombe Cottages. It was truly lovely. The setting is breathtaking, the cottage was immaculate and beautiful. The facilities are great, all the little details have been thought of e.g. there’s a toy shed where you can borrow crabbing buckets and tennis rackets etc. The pools and hot tub are great and everything is immaculately clean. My daughters fell in love with Wilson the dog, I fell in love with the location and with the area. There is lots to do in Dartmouth and Salcome is also very pretty and the local beaches are stunning, but returning to Gitcombe in the evenings was a real joy. It’s such a beautiful place that every evening as I drove back in it would take my breath away. We stayed in Meavy one of the smaller cottages, I cannot imagine what a treat it would be to stay at Gitcombe Retreat or Gitcombe House. Peter and Rodney the owners made us feel very welcome. If you’re considering a stay here, don’t hesitate it’s lovely. We cannot wait to return.

The Gitcombe complex suited our family perfectly with the swimming pools, tennis court and surrounding countryside being the the high points. Very peaceful even though all the buildings were occupied, close enough to local towns for supplies or meals out. Meavy barn had everything you could want ,maybe a bit more storage and a bigger television are the only things could improve it .

We enjoyed a lovely stay at Gitcombe. The grounds are immaculate and leisure facilities superb. The appliances in the kitchen were top quality. When paying for this kind of quality we expected some basics like tea and coffee and a little cooking oil to get us going. The floors could have done with a clean in our cottage. The heating / hot water system was very noisy in the middle of the night and woke us up each night as it appeared to click on and off - the system was adjacent to the bedroom. Not a problem if you are not a light sleeper! We would recommend and would return. Above comments are meant in the spirit of constructive criticism!

we have been before but not stayed this cottage (Meavey) and wow what a lovely cottage to relax for the weekend. Very quiet and close to the indoor pool and sunken hot tub. Lovely comfort beds and log burning stove to keep you cosy in these cold autumn nights. Could not ask for a nice host of Peter and Emma who are always happy to attend to your needs or advise on a place to visit.

Arrived home from our stay at Gitcombe yesterday, we were sad to leave as we’d had such a lovely time. We stayed in one of the cottages with our toddler who also enjoyed it thoroughly. The grounds, setting, scenery are all so beautiful and we felt so welcomed by the lovely owners and not forgetting Wilson the dog :)

Excellent location with fantastic facilities.

Our nine year old made full use of the outdoor pool, indoor pool and Jacuzzi. The grounds are lovely and very well maintained. The tennis court gave an extra dimension to our stay and also proved useful for badminton!

Our barn was of a high standard and of particular note was the American fridge and it was also very handy having a washing machine. The barn was spotless when we arrived and clearly well looked after. The sheltered location made it possible to BBQ while watching the sunset.

We look forward to returning!

Stayed at Gitcombe with my wife and young son for five nights and had an excellent time. It was our first visit to the area and the surrounding countryside is beautiful. Within a half an hour or so drive there are stunning beaches and interesting places to visit; we enjoyed Pomeroy Castle, Dartmouth and Salcombe in particular. Gitcombe itself offers everything needed for a relaxing break. Meavy barn was well equipped and made it easy to make ourselves at home. The living space and kitchen area are very tasteful and cooking was easy (bear in mind you need to take everything, such as cooking oil, tea, coffee). The double bedroom was nice though we did find the mattress in the twin room wasn't the most comfortable. The bathroom was a little tired looking and the fan was noisy, which was a minor irritation, but overall the barn is really nicely set up and peaceful. The pool, sauna, and outdoor hot tub are fantastic and made our stay all the more enjoyable. Peter greeted us and is a really nice guy. We thoroughly enjoyed the visit and hope to return.

Gitcombe House Country Cottages is an oasis of calm, with fantastic facilities that are perfect for families. The grounds, tennis courts, swimming pools and hot tub were a massive hit with the kids. The owner Peter, his father Rodney, and the manager Emma were all super helpful and made the experience a pleasure. Based on the mantra that the best feedback is constructive I'll nitpick: for a "luxury" property I would expect that the American style fridge freezers' ice and cold water functions would work properly :-) We have already booked for next year! Bravo!

We had a lovely week at Gitcombe and were blessed by fabulous weather. Our 3 and 6 year olds loved the indoor and outdoor pools, and the array of other activities to do. Meavy cottage was perfect for a family of four and very well equipped. Gitcombe is in a good location for exploring both Dartmoor and the South Hams but some days we felt we didn't need to leave at all!
