Guests consistently praise the cleanliness, comfort, and thoughtful touches, with plenty of space for children and dogs. The location is secluded yet within walking distance of Hartland village. Some minor issues mentioned include flies, occasional mattress discomfort, and kitchen equipment, but these do not detract from the overwhelmingly positive experience.

The rural, secluded location is widely appreciated for its tranquillity and scenic views, with easy access to walks and Hartland village. Some guests note the bumpy access road and remoteness, but most see this as a positive.
Guests find the cottage spacious, warm, and comfortable, with praise for the beds, showers, and communal areas. A few mention the need for new mattresses in some rooms and occasional noise issues, but overall comfort is rated highly.
The property is praised for its excellent facilities, including a hot tub, games room, large garden, and well-equipped kitchen. Some minor suggestions for kitchen equipment and games room improvements are noted, but these are outweighed by positive feedback.

Loved the peaceful location. The potholes on the farm “road” reminded us of home !! The games barn and the outdoor hot tub were a huge hit with our 3 granddaughters… even at the height of Storm Austen.Nothing we needed we couldn’t find in the accommodation except the Wi-Fi code…needs to be more obvious rather than having to ring the owner to find its location.Beds very comfortable, makes a huge difference to us “oldies”.The Old Roundhouse is to be highly recommended…. and I am very definitely not easy to please.

Lovely property in a beautiful location. Large well fenced garden for dogs and great views. Good walks and fabulous beaches with NT parking a short drive away.Property was clean, beds comfy and welcome Prosecco in fridge a nice touch.There were 7 in our group and we did feel the kitchen wasn't adequately equipped with crockery and bowls suitable for microwave use. The door leading to the bedroom accessed from the external staircase needs attention - stiff to open. The kitchen, dining area and sitting room are all open plan which means dogs are able to roam around the house. There were 2 in our group, and at night I used the laundry airer covered with a blanket to barricade them in the kitchen. It would be useful to display the password for WIFI in the Information book. We couldn't find it so had to call the owner.We really enjoyed our stay - a comfortable base to explore the stunning scenery and beaches.

Cottage was ideal for a relaxing week away with the family. The hot tub and games room was a big hit with everyone. Homemade cake when we arrived was a real treat.
