See what our guests think about us

This was our 4th visit to Alpine Park Cottages with our dog & we had another fantastic stay. The cottages are always cleaned to the highest possible standard and have everything you could need during your stay. They are situated in a perfect location to visit so many lovely places in Devon / Dorset. You’re always guaranteed a warm welcome & we wouldn’t stay any where else. A perfect location for a lovely holiday.

Thank you again to Sally & Curtis.

Great place for a family holiday - comfortable, clean and well equipped cottages, great play area and plenty of space for everyone to play games or relax. There’s lots to do in the area. We’ve been coming here since 2011 and Sally, Curtis and Helen are brilliant hosts.

I don't think I have ever been as conflicted writing a review for accommodation, if there was a 4 and a half, I would settle for that. But as any holiday maker knows, there is that 'deal breaker' thing that just erks enough to impact a 5 star review. Anyway

We visited in the Summer Hols, 5 of us, 2 adults, 3 children, we stayed in a premium cottage and I have got to say, it was lovely, so well looked after, tidy, clean, good decor. And the facilities were excellent, fully fitted kitchen (which we made use of), including dishwasher, and shower over bath, and a separate WC.
A special mention should also be made about the welcome app, it's very good with some really useful information on there for people new to the area.

The grounds are also very well maintained, very pretty with a children's play area, mini golf course and small football goals. If you have young children, there will definitely be other families there so friendships can be made, our kids were a little on the older side. There is also a launderette on site so you can get those beach towels washed and dried, £3 per wash and £1 per 30 min dry.

So, the reason it's not a 5 star, I am lucky enough to have been travelling for 20 odd years, so seen most hotels, b&b's self catering cottages etc. And what surprised me the most was that there was not a tea bag or coffee granule to be found in an expertly prepared cottage. I see the cottage as a premium accommodation, so would expect in all honesty to have some tea and coffee available to guests, I can stay in a £25 a night Travelodge and get that. So for it not to be available did suprise me. Second, the mini golf course, it's free, which is great, but it needs a bit of a wash down and refresh, It looks a bit tired. Finally, the 9.30 check out time.....it's the earliest I have ever been asked to check out, ever, i understand the reason, to clean the place for the next guests but that is making a you problem, a me problem, the solution is simple, get some help to speed things up. I'll explain the reasoning for my feelings about this. By making the check in so late, and check out so early, it effectively means we lose a day of our holiday, without a base, we can't explore. None the less, I hope we left our cottage in a suitable condition, asking us to leave it clean and tidy and a 9.30 check out grinded a bit.

Moan over, please don't let these comments make you think we didn't enjoy our stay, we really did. It was beautiful, but just a few 'deal breakers' that affected what would have been a 5 star. Oh, and one last thing, dropping off the exit bits on Thursday....that made me sad, we know our holiday is coming to an end, but we still had 2 days left. Maybe hold that off till the Friday?

Would we stay again? Yes we would, and thank you for a warm welcome and a lovely stay for my family in a base that has access to the local attractions and popular towns.

This was the 3rd year we had stayed at Alpine Park Cottages. The cottages are so clean and comfortable, they have everything you need we had an amazing week. The Maynard family are always so friendly and helpful. Myself, my partner teenage daughter and dog had a great time.

The cottages are ideally situated between Sidmouth and Exmouth so we enjoyed lovely days out. The very helpful local guide you are sent through by email gives you lots of lovely ideas of places to visit including lots of lovely places to have dinner.

I have recommended Alpine Park Cottages to all our friends.

We had a fantastic week at the cottage. It was very well appointed, clean and extremely comfortable. It was situated in an area surrounded by trees and overlooking a grassed area. It was quiet and very relaxing but also not too far from the many beautiful towns and villages in the area including Exmouth,Topsham, Honiton and Sidmouth. The proprietors were very pleasant and helpful

We returned to Alpine park cottages following a lovely stay a year ago. This time our extended family joined us meaning we had 3 cottages. All the cottages were spotless clean on arrival. Sally and Curtis made us feel very welcome. The children in our family , all 6 of them enjoyed the play area and it was great to see them run around in the grounds which are maintained to a very high standard. Looking forward to returning to Alpine park cottages soon.
