  We had a wonderful stay here.

  The grounds and cottage are beautiful and the views are breathtaking. We particularly loved the old features of the property, especially the wall casts which we believe they possibly date back to the 1600’s but unsure. It would have been nice to have read the history of this beautiful cottage. The property was very clean throughout and very well equipped, although there was some wear and tear and a few stains on the carpets upstairs, it didn’t bother our stay at all. The bedrooms were a very good size , the beds were comfortable and accommodated our large family beautifully. The hot tub was hot on arrival and set in a fantastic location on the property. The views from the hot tub are stunning. The welcome pack was a wonderful touch too so thank you very much for that. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to cook big meals and the added bonus of Sky and the pool/table tennis table kept the kids entertained. We would definitely return to this beautiful property and highly recommend it to anyone.

  The house was perfect for us.

  We were a party of 9, in total, three groups of the same family travelling from separate locations. The house was a little tricky to find but this was not a reflection on Iain's instructions, merely the narrow lanes of the Devon countryside! The house was perfect for us. All the bedrooms were lovely and really comfortable. The kitchen-diner became the centre of the indoor space and was amazingly well equipped. The heated pool became the centre of the outdoor activities and is such a great facility. Mention must be given to the games basement area and the outdoor table tennis. These became the focus of considerable family rivalry; our own Olympic Games prior to the Paris version. We made pizzas one evening in the wonderfully equipped pizza oven barbecue the next. Iain is a very approachable and friendly host and we would love to return.

  The cottage has fantastic views but is looking tired and needs some decoration and maintenance and lacks cleanliness in areas of the house.

  It is good that the property accepts dogs but be prepared to have to put the dogs in the car for any walks as the road outside is very narrow and very busy with all sorts of traffic from cars to large lorries and tractors and with the lack of any pavement it is very dangerous with the speeds these vehicles are travelling. We were very lucky with the weather which enabled us to sit outside and enjoy the fantastic views, I’m not sure that I would return to this property again though due to the location being right on an A road with constant traffic and the lack of dog walks. I don’t know if it’s a standard thing with Sykes cottages but the check in time of 4pm and check out time of 10am is not great in my opinion, it makes the leaving day a rush to get everything done, strip beds etc etc.

  **A Lovely Cottage with Character** We absolutely loved this beautiful cottage, full of fantastic period features.

  The original wooden beams, low ceilings, and old stone fireplaces really gave it charm. The living room was cozy and comfortable, with a pool/table tennis table that was a hit with the older kids. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed, and the welcome basket was a thoughtful personal touch. The bedrooms were spacious, clean, and well-furnished, with plenty of extra bedding available. The view was breathtaking—endless green fields stretching out in front. There was comfortable outdoor seating where we could sit and enjoy the scenery over a cup of tea. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and will definitely be booking again. It felt special to stay in a cottage with so much history, dating back to the 1600s. Highly recommend!

  The thatched cottage had everything we needed although in terms of rooms it was a tale of two halves.

  The rooms from the kitchen onwards and the bedrooms above the lounge were very much more modern and up to date than the rooms at the other end. The downstairs bedroom walls were damp and both that room and the bedroom above felt like they needed modernising and a lot more attention. The bathrooms and toilets to these bedrooms were very dated and didn’t look that clean and the showers very basic compared to the other bathroom. The hot tub was amazing and lovely and warm. The garden felt a bit unloved and unkempt and the walk to the hot tub over grown a bit. We did enjoy our break and we said the beds were comfy and we slept well but just parts could do with a bit of an update and attention. Thanks for the welcome pack that was a lovely touch.
