Charming place to stay in the Devon countryside

Warm and comfortable place to stay, well equipped and beautifully situated overlooking an old quarry, a lake, rolling fields and an ancient apple tree, once part of a cider orchard. Wildlife abounds with rabbits and a lovely selection of birds. Great facilities (wifi, TV, games, tennis court, indoor table tennis, dart board) and excellent recycling provision. House has lovely covered veranda that we weren't able to enjoy much as it was so wet, windy and cold! One of the hosts was lovely and talked to us several times, the other only spoke to us once and rudely shouted at us for using a BBQ as we were packing up to leave which unfortunately ended our stay on a sour note. It was stored in a communal utility room with other items for guests to use. Other than this unfortunate interaction, we had a lovely week here.

Swiss Chalet style cabin on Exmoor

Details on website were inaccurate but location and stay were lovely. Vrbo and host were very helpful when I needed to contact them. I would happily stay here again

About the host

Hosted by Tod Bainbridge

Tod and Heather Bainbridge have lived here for over thirty years and have been running Quarry Hockford Cottages for ten years.

We started with the Cider Barn and added Orchard Lodge eight years ago and Lakeside this year (2014).

Why they chose this property

When our children were young the property and the area provided good riding and plenty of room for the horses. Now we just enjoy the peace and tranquillity and the feeling of remoteness while still having good access and easy communications.
