  Just returned from a week at Pound Rocks.

  What a super place to stay, just around the corner from the main street but quiet and private. Spacious and a great mix of traditional and modern. Modern where it is really appreciated (Kitchen and bathroom) with traditional features such as the hallway tiles and doorknobs adding character and charm. Very well equipped, with everything you would need to cook and clear up with too. We ate out quite a lot but it was nice to know everything was there if we wanted to cook. Also do read the information book, the instructions for every appliance are there, along with quite a few guides to local attractions. The water in the shower was hot, could have done with being just a little cooler but couldn't work out how to achieve that but great to have the option of a very deep bath or a shower. The garden is charming and is bigger than the photo's suggest, the rear garden is completely escape proof so the dog can have a run around while you stay dry in the conservatory. Sadly the weather was a little cool to get the most out of the conservatory but I would imagine it's great in warmer months. The only thing we had difficulty with was the sofa. Stylish and comfortable but a little low. The first time I sat on it I sank into the comfort but was like an overturned beetle getting back up - my husband rescued me otherwise I might still have been there. The beds are very comfortable and good quality bed linen and towels are included. A few thoughtful extra's were found and enjoyed. I wouldn't hesitate to return to Pound Rocks and would strongly recommend this accommodation to all.

  We have just returned from a 2 week holiday staying at Pound Rocks.

  Our positive feedback is: Ideally situated to walk into the village with its many shops and places to eat. The bungalow was very comfortable, spacious and had all the home comforts. The bathroom is stunning and has a wonderful shower, a lovely bath and there was always plenty of hot water. Our negative feedback is: We unfortunately had an issue with the garden. We overlooked the unkept lawn which had not been mowed for some time and it did not affect being able to sit out in the garden. On the first Monday we were there, our 6 month old mischievous retriever managed to escape from the garden. We went into total panic, called her a few times, no response, so we started to walk to the area at the back of the bungalow. Luckily we received a phone call from a lovely gentleman who had found our dog sat in his porch! We had a look at where she had escaped and even though the gap is behind shrubs, there is a large area where dogs or toddlers could get out. As any parent or loving pet owner knows, you only have to turn your back for a second and they are gone! I am sure that in time the fence will be repaired, but unfortunately for us, we were constantly chasing to get it repaired, were told a few times that someone was coming to repair it but it never happened. We are very disappointed that this was not taken more seriously, but have been told by Sykes Cottages that the owner is aware of the situation and it will be rectified for future guests.

  We had a very enjoyable stay in May.

  It was clean, comfortable, light and airy. The bathroom was modern with a really spacious shower and comfortable bath, the beds were lovely and the sitting room was also comfortable. The sun room was also nice.The kitchen was well equiped and spacious, but there was no cupboard space for food as they were all full of crockery and utensils and having the fridge out in the garage and having to go out the front door to access it was awkward. We go self caterering so we can cook all our meals so having space for food and an easily accessible freezer is, for us, essential for a two week holiday and we had to use the top of the 'decorative' aga and the window sills. Apart from this and maybe a bench or table and chairs to sit in the evening sunshine in the garden it was a delightful place to stay.

  Stayed at Mulberry Mews, Seaton, Devon for a week. We stay in Seaton on a regular basis as I have elderly parents living there. This was our first time at Mulberry Mews, and our last. The garden is completely overgrown. It could be lovely with some TLC spent on it. The neighbours dog kept jumping over the fence running into the cottage chasing our little dog all over the house. The blind in the twin room didn't go down at night time put a duvet up at the window. The cottage was generally unclean. Cobwebs even in the cutlery draw. Found underwear under the bed. I'm sorry to put such a bad review but it was unacceptable when you pay nearly £800 for a week. We have stayed in a lot of properties with the Original Cottages company and all have been lovely. I'm afraid not this one .

  We've had a fantastic week at Birch House with a 2-and-a-half-year-old! The weather has been quite mixed with a couple of really blustery and rainy days so it's been the perfect house to come back to and enjoy for it's warmth, comfort and light space. We didn't realise there were sea views so that was a bonus. And our toddler was so excited to watch the cows, pigs, goats, rabbits and birds! The house is really beautifully done up and well-equipped. We've loved the upstairs for its light and space. It's very well situated so we've made the most of exploring the beaches, towns and other tourist attractions. Favourite beaches were Hollywell and Chapel Porth, the latter where I foraged for mussels and they were delicious! Thank you for sharing your fantastic home.
