"Just lovely"
Been here a few times before and again it didn't disapoint. Cottages are spotlessly clean and well equipped. Sally and Curtis are lovely and always helpful with anything you need. Can't recommend enough
" Lovely stay for a long or short break"
Our few days stay at alpine park we're great the cottage was well equipped and spotlessly clean. The grounds are well maintained with even the odd wild rabbit roaming about, The owners are very nice and friendly definitely would come again and stay for a longer holiday
"Outstanding - what more can we say?"
We are struggling to add to all the five star reviews from other visitors - this is the best holiday cottage we have stayed in over a period of 30+ years! The standard of all aspects of the accommodation and the park itself is a reflection of the incredibly friendly, hard working and efficient hosts. (A problem with a tap was sorted very quickly.)
Other visitors have also mentioned the park's excellent location for touring the area, and there are wonderful walks on the nearby Pebblebed Heaths. Many thanks to Curtis and Sally - we hope to return next year.
"A perfect place for a holiday"
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 summer holiday location"
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.
"Lovely Family Summer Break"
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.
