What our customers say about their holidays

  Booked late on with the principal criteria being proximity to our son and family.

  The accommodation was adequate for our needs , the bed was very comfortable and the shower was superb. On the downside, the property is quite dark inside because there are no rear windows and the lighting provided (except in the bathroom) is inadequate. There are no views from the property other than across the car park and the small patio, next to your parked car, is not an enticing place for evening drinks, or a meal. There is little that can be done about that, it is what it is as a former stable complex but no effort had been made to make it slightly more attractive. There were brackets for hanging baskets outside but no hanging baskets. As a result of the above, we felt that the price charged was high. Our plot also lost the evening sun earlier than the other units. On arrival, the 'welcome' basket consisted of 2 packs of biscuits, coffee sachets and tea bags. Previous stayers we noted from the guest book received the more normal Prosecco! Nor could we quickly chill the wine we brought, as we arrived to the fridge turned off and the door wide open! By contrast, our son paid less for 2 bedrooms with a nice sitting out area and views across the valley and only a mile away, also on a farm.

  It’s a lovely place with everything you need for a comfortable stay.

  Great kitchen facilities & gorgeous bedroom. The weather was great so maybe an outside umbrella would be nice so you could sit out on the patio in the shade? The 4 outside cameras were a little disconcerting as I felt I was being watched every time I was outside. I stayed nearly 3 weeks in the end & thought there may have been a clean at some point? Loo roll top up? Also just for owners info when I arrived the clean was a just a skim over - dust, cobwebs on floor behind curtains, in corners, fingerprints on kitchen cabinets, dust on microwave top. Also it was a nightmare trying to extend my stay as Skyes never returned any call backs despite me chasing them over 3 days. In the end I had to rebook online. Not a reflection on the accommodation at all though.

  Great location for touring around Devon, close to Lyme Regis and an A road that can take you East or West of there.

  Property is just off a quiet country lane, but close enough to main roads. It's part of a terrace of 3 properties, each with their own parking space. Layout inside is good with a seating area, dining table, small but well equiped kitchen, bedrooms and a bathroom. The heating is locked and controlled by the owners, which was a bit awkward when we got back late at night to a cold cabin - but we made the best of it. I'd recommend this venue for couples or solo travellers but not families. The outside area has small individually fenced off areas to sit in the sunshine, however there is no privacy between the terraced cabins - so it could be quite difficult with a reactive dog or when the neighbours are chatty but you want to just sit and relax.

  A warm, welcoming and cosy cottage in a really well connected area.

  The cottage and garden are very well looked after. The garden has an amazing bbq hut, which we didn't have time to use, but next time... I have only marked down the accuracy of listing because the way garden is photographed and mentioned doesn't fully explain the reality. The garden is separated from the house by the public driveway that gives access to the other houses. While on the surface this doesn't seem an issue, if you have a dog you can't just open a door and let it out into the garden. You need to leave the house, cross the driveway, unlock the gate and then you are in. Unfortunately for us it was pouring with rain, so it just made it a little more of hassle than ideally you would want. Not a deal breaker, just good to be aware.

  A beautiful holiday cottage, plenty of space and good surroundings.

  There was a fab welcome pack which was a lovely touch. What was so good and helpful was that everything was set up, ready to use (things like bins and lots of spare bin bags, tea, coffee, sugar etc) which made it so easy to just arrive and get cracking, esp with two young children. If you weren't aware, the upstairs bathroom cold tap doesn't work and therefore running a bath for the kids had to be done through the shower (as the hot tap was scolding hot v v quickly), or we used a jug to tip cold into for speed. The BBQ lodge was a lovely alternative place to hang out and the children loved the ducks on the stream. Was a lovely week, a well set up and appointed cottage. Perfect, thank you.
