What our customers say about their holidays

  We were not actually on holiday.

  We live in a nearby village and used Daffodil Cottage as somewhere to live while we had a new kitchen fitted. I would not recommend the cottage for a holiday as it has no garden or view. However the pub and fish and chip shop (which also does Chinese takeaways) are useful. The kitchen is adequately equipped but only just (more spoons, especially serving spoons would be helpful). The bedroom is small and so has a small 4ft6in bed but there is plenty of storage space in it. More information about parking would have been helpful: it took us a couple of days to realise that the 'No Parking' sign in front of the cottage did not apply to us. However parking in the square (where there are useful shops) is free but there are not always spaces available. There are plenty of attractions in the area which is why we live here. Grange-over-Sands is a reasonable shopping place but I often wonder why tourists like it as the 'Sands' are not 'bucket and spade' beaches but dangerous areas with mud and quick-sands.

  Kozi Kots is absolutely outstanding. It is set in the most peaceful location where all you hear is the buzz of the bees and the whistle of the wind. It has everything you need for a relaxing stay in the most stunning location. The garden, which was blooming with flowers, is a sun trap and perfect for a beer or a G&T. The complementary bottle of fizz was just an added bonus and the hot tub was perfect. We would suggest a visit to Lynton where you can travel on the cliff top railway down to Lynmouth where there are plenty of lovely walks, pubs and eateries or if you want a really tranquil few hours go to Tiverton and take the horse drawn barge trip. You won’t be disappointed. Anyway back to Kozi Kots, it’s amazing, wonderful, peaceful there are not enough words to describe this tranquil oasis, oh and Jackie and Tom are simply legends

  Unfortunately the original booking was cancelled due to the owners Ill health, I was called by a lovely lady who explained and apologised and mentioned that some others were available and a link sent or we could choose our own ( the link was pretty useless as most of the properties were for the week before our holiday was booked, this was a waste of time and no help at all). I luckily found The Gearing, this was fabulous, the setting beautiful, the property built to a really high standard,. The owners are the loveliest people, always smiling, about if needed but not intrusive in the slightest. Gilbert was always close by and was never too busy for a chat This is a working farm too so was fabulous seeing the sheep being herded up to be sheared, lovely walks in the area and really peaceful. We will hopefully return again soon.

  This was our first time to this area of the lakes and it didn't disappoint!

  Dufton is quaint with a central green and a pub which had great food by the way, we particularly enjoyed the quiz night (Thursday). The accommodation is excellent, everything has been thought of along with a lovely welcome basket of food. You can see that Shepherds View Is loved by the owners Carole & Simon. We stayed 5 nights, lots to see and do in the area from walks from SV to trips out, all the information you’ll need has been carefully put together by the owners in a book inside the cottage, this we found most helpful. We would highly recommend.
