Orchard Cottage at Mornacott is a barn conversion built around exposed timber and a vaulted ceiling, positioned above replanted orchards on the Mornacott Farm estate in North Devon. The ground floor combines living and dining in one generous space with two seating areas, a wood burner for winter evenings, and views across the surrounding countryside. The kitchen handles serious cooking – electric range, dishwasher, American fridge freezer – and opens to the garden via patio doors, as does the dining area. One bedroom sits on this level with an ensuite bathroom; it converts from a superking to twin beds depending on your group. Upstairs are three further bedrooms, each with its own ensuite and either a kingsize or twin configuration.
All four bathrooms have baths with power showers. Heating and hot water come from a biomass system, and bed linen, towels and wifi are provided. The property sleeps eight and is yours alone – not shared with other guests, though the sauna and 13-metre swimming pool are shared facilities on the wider site. Outside, a garden with patio, furniture and a BBQ faces south. There is private parking for two cars. One dog is welcome. The location suits families wanting space and rural surroundings within reach of South Molton and the wider Devon countryside.

Service5.0Off the beaten track cottage. The 2 bedrooms upstairs were spacious, beautifully clean bedding, comfy mattresses & shared a large bathroom. Clean & super large fluffy towels. Lovely views from both rooms & very peaceful. The bedroom on the ground floor double/twin was very tiny & only a small drawer unit & no wardrobe! This was disappointing as we had nowhere to put our cases. The en suite shower cubicle could do with a deep clean. The kitchen was a good size with a large table, the fridge was small, there were no t-towels or oven gloves. plenty of cooking pans, utensils, only 6 cups !! The living area was a good space & the children enjoyed all the channels. We couldn't lock the door to the garden with the key but there is a bolt at the top. We bought more pegs to hang our washing out, there is a laundry room but only 1 washing machine was working, 1 was out of order, so we had to wait to use it as its also used by the housekeeper. The children loved the games room ( in need of new ping pong bats ) bring your own. The pool & sauna was a hit for all the family, fabulous. The location is good for a peaceful away from it all holiday & beaches & places of interest are not so far away. We visted Weston-super-Mare, Appledore, Quince Honey Farm, Knightshayes NT, Valley of the Rocks with spectacular views & a delightful cafe, Exmoore Zoo & the Tarka Trail 20 mile bike ride. All in all a very pleasent holiday with family. I'd have given 5 stars but there are just a few things that need to be addressed to make it *****

We rented orchard cottage for a short family break with 6 adults and 3 children under 5. The cottage was beautiful with amazing views and we were greeted and shown around by Archie who was fantastic. The swimming pool is large deep and warm and great for family fun and relaxation along with the sauna it makes for a perfect chill time. They have a games room with pool table, table tennis and games. The darts need new flights so be aware if you enjoy darts, take some flights with you. Nice and private location down a country lane but close enough to town if you need anything. Highly recommended if you want a relaxing private family holiday without distraction.

We stayed here during February half-term and had a brilliant week despite it being wet weather wise. Having the pool for a decent slot every day meant that we always had that to look forward to. Our cottage was very warm, beautifully appointed, very comfortable (including the mattresses) and light -- decent windows overlooking the view. The pool, cottage and grounds were spotless and very well looked after. We also enjoyed meeting the pigs and hens! Thank you for a lovely stay.
