Below are a few of the many positive comments from families who have stayed at Higher Bowden. We do of course receive a few negative comments from time to time and where possible we work hard to fix the relevant problem.

Family of 6 who stayed in Oaktree cottage in May 2009

A poem by Chloe

"I went to Higher Bowden one Saturday mourn
On the Higher Bowden website it didn't look a yawn
We finally left in the car after weeks and weeks of waiting

It felt so bloomin' far
But finally we were escaping
The busy city life

When we then arrived here
I was so amazed
I started out to see the view
And I felt quite dazed

Now its the end of my poem
But not the end of my stay
Here at Higher Bowden you will have fun everyday"

Couple with baby who stayed in Courtyard cottage in June 2008

The "Smiffys" have had a lovely time & our cottage/ facilities were fantastic. Jessie who is nearly four would like to stop "4 more days". We will definitely be back next year.

Family of 4 in Garden cottage February 2008

Lovely cottage & fabulous facilities. In spite of the weather we have enjoyed ourselves. There is plenty to do, even when it rains heavily. We would like to return and see Devon in the sunshine!

Daily Telegraph travel report (2007)

If you want a gorgeous rural location close to a great beach, this complex should fit the bill. Reached by quiet back lanes, it spreads over a hillside with distant views of the sea from its upper levels. Immaculate Blackpool Sands, one of Devon's loveliest beaches, is a mile away.

With six and a half acres of beautifully kept grounds, attractive children's play areas on grassy terraces, a floodlit tennis court, a super playroom for toddlers and a games room, plus a good indoor pool, there is much to keep the family at Higher Bowden.

Young couple with baby who stayed in Little Bowden in May 2007

Fantastic cottage, setting and location. Thank you for the helpful extras - stairgate (our baby started crawling here!), the blackout blind, proper cot and bath towel which we had forgotten. We loved the walk to the beach - even the return!
