What our customers say about their holidays

Although the refurbishment of the cottage was superb, comfortably warm and very clean, and the location and views were to die for, we did have some problems. When we arrived, after driving along a vey narrow lane leading up to the lighthouse, with very few passing places, the instructions were that a combination padlock would be on the gate, but the padlock was already open and the combination was seized. It remained like that all week - so much for security!! After problems with the keysafe, we were eventually able to get into the property. After settling ourselves in, we put the oven on (no instruction book), which tripped the electricity and we were left with power in half of the cottage - fortunately the heating was not affected. I was unsure which trip was which, so I rang the 'emergency' number on the landline phone (fortunately provided by Rural Retreats as mobile phone signal was non-existent) and asked for advice. The housekeeper was contacted straight away, but unfortunately she was unable to come out until the following morning to fix it. A diagram or marking of the fuse boxes would have helped tremendously. I did in fact email Rural Retreats with other minor problems, and I was told the owner would be contacted to sort everything out, but alas nothing happened before we left. Everyone I spoke to at Rural Retreats were very pleasant and apologetic, but maybe they could have done more to chase the owner? Despite all the problems, we loved the area and will definitely return to the North Devon again, but unfortunately we won't be staying at the lighthouse and we do hope the problems are sorted for the next occupants.

I booked a holiday for my wife's 40th birthday and this was the first time that I had booked with Rural Retreats. It should be said that the location and view is fantastic. If you want tranquility then this is a great place to be. Unfortunately, I cannot give it any higher than 3 stars because for the price paid it was not representative of the quality of the cottage. For example, there were screws in the trims of some of the doorways that were protruding and me and my family were regularly catching our feet on them. The mattresses were quite uncomfortable and bed frames very creaky, making it difficult to sleep at night. The crib provided was dusty and had cobwebs all over. Some of the areas of the carpet were frayed and a bit stained. Finally, there were missing items that were stated as being provided that we had to chase for - the main one being an iron. In summary, the location and view is wonderful. The cottage was let down by the standards listed above combined with the high price paid and I would have expected better.

Post Box Cottage, a beautiful, quirky and cosy cottage in the depths of Dartmoor, which means narrow roads, beautiful walks and stunning scenery close by.
The cottage is well equipped and welcoming, the kitchen serves its purpose with everything close to hand, the dining area is tastefully furnished and the lounge perfect, no doubt in the colder months the log burner will help provide that little extra touch of cosiness. When you climb the steep curved staircase you are greeted by a modern and spacious landing converted to a luxurious bathroom, there is a large shower and inviting bath. The adjacent bedroom is spacious and the king size bed comfortable. We were the first guests at Post Box cottage and enjoyed our stay, our two four legged friends loved the long walks but struggled with the short late evening dark walk for convenience purposes. There is courtyard parking adjacent to the cottage but access is difficult and quite steep particularly if you have a low car. There is additional parking close by but this can also be a challenge. Thank you John, We look forward to returning to this happy place, IMYHC

The accommodation is lovely - clean, comfortable and decorated to a high standard. Everything is well maintained and the cottage is well equipped, there were even a few board games for the kids. The location is truly spectacular! Stunning views, sunsets and walks on your doorstep, with the pretty village of Mortehoe and the expansive Woolacoombe beach a short drive away. We also appreciated the welcome hamper which contained high quality items. A minor negative was the check in time of 4pm which we felt was a little late. Another thing to be aware of is that the access road to the lighthouse is an extremely narrow 1 mile long single track with only 1 passing place - it was a slightly hair raising drive and we dreaded meeting an oncoming vehicle (luckily we didn't). Having said that, this is a very special place and we were sad to leave - highly recommend!

Beautiful cottage with a great location! However few little nigglesâ¦.. 1. The cottage sleeps 5 (which is how many our party was), but only 5 mugs were provided 2. The listing states that toilet paper is included, however we were provided with 2 rolls for 4 days for 5 people ð¤ 3. Lovely to chill out in the evening after a day exploring the dramatic walks and scenery, but the 2 sofas are extremely uncomfortable! We had a tussle for the armchair which was a dream but the rest of us ended up sitting on the floor , propped up with cushions! 4. The listing also confirmed cooking facilities but there were no baking trays so we had to improvise , using tin foil in the oven. 5. Hidden cutlery drawerâ¦it took us ages to find it! Please put the label âcutlery drawer â further down as itâs obscured by the work top
