Gitcombe House

The house was booked by my wife and I for a family get together to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary.

It was all that we expected and more. The house is located in stunning countryside roughly midway between Dartmouth and Totnes. It is extremely well equipped and very comfortable with the helpful owner Peter and his partner Amy and family living next door in ann adjacent property. Everything was provided for our stay. The slight mark down for Maintenance was because, shortly after our arrival, a tap on the bath in the en-suite of the master bedroom broke resulting in us not being able to stop the flow of cold water. Contact was made with Peter, who responded promptly and turned off the water supply to the bath. A plumber was called who later confirmed that a replacement would need to be ordered from the manufacturers. So for the remainder of our week we were unable to use the bath in the en-suite. By way of other feedback members of our family were woken on a few occasions around 07.30am by young children, staying in other accommodation on the Estate, playing tennis/football on the tennis court. We thought this somewhat inconsiderate of the parents of these children, disturbing other guests on the Estate so early, so would recommend that the owners include in their guidance notes, provided in each property, that the tennis court should not be used before 9.00am! However these are minor observations in what was a most memorable week in a wonderful property in a beautiful part of the country. Highly recommended and we hope to return in the not too distant future. Thank you to Peter, Amy and Emma we really enjoyed it.

We really loved Gitcombe House and the facilities they offered were very well maintained.

The house is very comfortable and we loved the period features. and the owner was very welcoming and helpful. We had a great weekend and we will definitely be back for another holiday.

We thoroughly enjoyed our family stay at Gitcombe house.

The house is a beautiful spacious property with every comfort, delightful dining area and very well equipped. It was perfect for our family with young children. The facilities at Gitcombe were a great asset and we used them all to the full. This family run business is a perfect place for a family gathering.

We had a brilliant weekend with my whole family celebrating my husbands 60th birthday.

Beautiful house in outstanding surroundings. Would not hesitate in returning . Everything was thought out down to the crabbing nets & buckets to borrow. Grandchildren had an amazing time - cried to leave ( I know they had to go to school on leaving this amazing property - but they had their uniform i and down the park 7am !!) Facilities - swimming pool & adventure park where a great facility to have with the kids - meant we could relax and enjoy each other’s company. Even though their were 12 of us in the house , there was enough space for a least another 12 ! Plenty of crockery, cutlery & glass ware to do your own catering - loved the AGA !
