Duvale Cottages - Orchard Barn Reviews and Customer Comments - Average Rating (1 Poor - 10 Excellent)

"Excellent location for both South and West coasts and many local attractions for kids. The barn is set in beautiful countryside but Tiverton is only a short drive away. Considering we paid £3000 for a week I would have expected the garden to be maintained with sufficient outdoor furniture. Besides the three picnic benches there was nowhere to sit in the sun. Inside, the furniture was old and tired and the vast kitchen table still did not accommodate everyone. However, the worst thing was the maggot infested bird corpse in the games 'room' (shed). Little wonder there was such a fly problem in the kitchen! This place could be excellent if the owner invested some of the takings into looking after it properly."
