Lovely cottage in a lovely village with lovely owners!

Orchard Dene has everything you'd expect from a cottage holiday. Relaxing or dining in the courtyard is a pleasure. This was our second visit and the host Mrs Meek was once again very helpful. Putsborough beach is fabulous and not very far but requires careful driving. However familiarity will sort that out as the lane has many passing places. The nearest supermarket is Tesco in Braunton but all the main ones deliver, including Waitrose as far away as Okehampton! We used also the village shop (use it or lose it). Likewise the local buses, free with your bus pass. Overall we can thoroughly recommend Orchard Dene....

Fantastic stay at this comfortable and spacious property. The friendly owner generously allows use of their lovely swimming pool, and the patio dining area is a beautiful sun trap - we ate outside every evening! Thoughtful extras such as parking permit for Putsborough Beach was very gratefully received. Walking distance to very nice pub with good food....

The owner Mrs. Meek was very welcoming and helpful. The cottage was immaculate and the best equipped for kitchen pans, trays etc and sharp knives that we've had. Georgeham is still very much a village and Putsborough Beach, only 1 mile and a quarter away makes for a great day out. We have already booked again for next year!...
