Lovely clean and airy property, immaculately presented and ideally placed for Hope Cove and the surrounding area. We enjoyed the circular Salcombe walk and all of Hope Cove. We found the Seven Stars in Kingsbridge a friendly place to eat with good service. We also enjoyed taking the ferry over to East Portlemouth from the the Ferry Inn in Salcombe. We would definitely return ☺ — Katherine, 08 Sep 2021

Lower Orchard is a fantastic base for a family holiday on the south Devon coast. The accommodation is modern and tastefully decorated with a seaside local theme. The surrounding area is blessed with some fantastic beaches and days out. Richard and Judith are exceptionally accommodating from the warm welcome to endless help and information on local places to visit and eat. We had a fabulous 2 weeks and would thoroughly recommend. Many thanks Paul, Emma, James and Joshua — Paul Filce, 14 Aug 2021

Lower Orchard provides a very comfortable base, with all the amenities you need to enjoy a holiday break in this beautiful area of Devon. We had everything we needed and more for us the two kids, our dog and ample parking right outside. Proximity to the south west coastal path provides some amazingly scenic walks / runs in either direction. We’d certainly recommend to anyone looking to explore the area. — Ross Theobald, 02 Aug 2021

We loved our stay at Lower Orchard. It has smart decor, comfortable beds, 2 chic shower rooms, and a sunny little deck, looking into the trees and perfect for sundowners. Also a well-equipped kitchen. Highlights for us included the coast path to Salcombe, with its amazing wildflowers, skylarks, ponies, even an Iron Age fort. We also visited 2 stunning gardens, Overbecks and and Coleton Fishacre. We had dinner at the Lobster Pod, which has glorious views over the bay (we recommend the bream). Lunch at the Boat House at South Milton Sands was also fun. We even grappled with a crab at home! Thank you, Richard and Judith, for the welcome goodies, and for many thoughtful touches, including the map we used to plan our routes. You went beyond the call of duty with advice and recommendations. — Carolyn Hall and Mary Wood, 13 Jul 2021

Thank you so much for having us to stay, we've have had the most enjoyable few days with our family at Lower Orchard. Arriving to the generous gifts of cream teas and Fizz was a perfect way to start our holiday along with the great sun deck! We have everything we needed for a comfortable relaxing break, the 2 bathrooms were a real bonus. We discovered some lovely walks from the house thanks to the maps provided and were lucky enough to have some great weather. Lovely sunset walk to Thurlestone beachhouse for dinner and the pods at the Lobster pod bistro Hope cove recommended for the views. Richard and Judith really are the perfect hosts....Friendly, welcoming and great knowledge of the area. Thank you again for a lovely family holiday.

An ideal location for a short break in the south hams. Accommodation was above and beyond our expectations. One of the best self catering cottages we have ever stayed in. All the little extras provided were wonderful. Thank you very much Judith and Richard for everything can’t wait to return !! — Jacqui and Brian, 28 May 2021

We spent a truly wonderful 4 days staying at Lower Orchard. Richard and Judith are such generous hosts, welcoming us with a delicious cream tea and prosecco when we arrived and offering more dog walking and sight-seeing opportunities than we had time for, so we will be back! Highlights included walking from Galmpton to Hope Cove and on to Bolt Head via Bolt Tail and back on an inland route (14 miles), visiting Overbecks NT Garden, Salcombe and Thurlstone beaches, dinner at the Hope Cove cafe and fish and chips on the beach at Beesands after walking to Start Point lighthouse. A fabulous break in immaculate dog-friendly accommodation, thank you so much! — Harriet and Dan Guest, 08 May 2021

It is not often you comment in the car going home “Ah, that was a perfect away break”. We did on our journey home from Lower Orchard - perfect hosts, idyllic accommodation and stunning environment. Apart from that, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! The bonus? Outstanding value for money. — Charles Holden, 19 Apr 2021

Thank you so much for the great hospitality. Our first time in Devon and we had a great time - Storm Dennis did not affect us at all! Great walks, meals and very dog friendly. People here are very kind. Must be great on a fair day but good even when rainy. A great holiday and a super cottage. — Francesco and Chantal, 16 Feb 2020

What a lovely place to stay, clean and cosy with everything we needed for a comfortable time. Thanks for the prosecco and scones, scrummy! We managed to explore the local area, Kingsbridge, Salcombe, Thurlestone and Hope Cove. Highlights were an enjoyable family meal at The Cove Cafe and sandwiches and beer after a windy walk on Milton sands, the cafe/ shack there is excellent.We didn’t let the weather put us off and our dog, Marley, thoroughly enjoyed himself. The local area is very dog friendly. — Lisa, Ian, Emma and Louis, 03 Nov 2019

Enjoyed a relaxed 4 days at Lower Orchard - thanks for the scones and fizz.Visited Overbecks, Burgh Island, Bigbury, Kingsbridge, Hope Cove (3 times), walked along the coastal footpath ( extremely windy!!) and Salcombe.Enjoyed a bit of “Salcombe Live” on Saturday ( thanks for telling us Richard) so although the weather wasn’t very kind to us we did get out and about!! It also gave us time to play games, and get to grips with a game called Pandemic ( our own game! Thanks very much — Rose, Phil and Simon, 14 Oct 2019
