What our customers say about their holidays

• Emma - Verified booking

  Property was overall as expected and nicely decorated.

  Generally quite clean but cutlery draw was dirty and dusty, as was much of the crockery and cutlery. Freezer draw needed defrosting and wouldn’t close. Description mentions coffee machine or coffee pods, I believe, which there wasn’t but I was quite surprised to find there wasn’t even a cafetière (first place I’ve stayed that doesn’t at least have that). The outside area is ok, possibly nicer in the full height of summer when the plant grows to conceal what’s around it - just be aware that it is in front of some old rusty garages and there is currently a full skip right next to it, so it wasn’t that pleasant. As others have mentioned, there is a lack of natural light in the living/dining area and it’s dark and the lighting is poor even in the daytime. It’s insufficient really. My father was quite comfortable in his room but we found our mattress and pillows to be dreadfully uncomfortable (hardly slept and had back ache which I’ve never had - clearly all very budget. It was a large contributor to us leaving a day early. Finally, we knew what to expect with the parking but just be aware that on a bank holiday/high season etc you would be lucky to get a parking space in the daytime, so it makes taking the car out difficult with no guarantee of being able to park when you get back. Lynton is lovely though so the area is highly recommended.

  A lovely cottage, well decorated and furnished.

  However, the directions given were totally misleading, taking us up a lane that was incorrect, on the other side of the road, losing time in the rain. Much was missing: washing machine (though your automated instructions - for other cottages - had said to bring clothes washing soap), salad bowl, mixer, whisk, knife sharpener, saucers, jugs, soap in empty dispenser, blind at kitchen window, blind/curtain at front door. The main thing missing, despite your mention of the environment over electricity, was NO RECYCLING provision. This was disgraceful in a town where recycling exists (we saw the collectors) - only one bin for rubbish. The window in the front bedroom did not close properly. It was COLD and there were no heating facilities for wet clothes and the general storage heaters were difficult to control, despite instructions. No VACUUM CLEANER though you had said we should keep things well clean etc. So although the cottage is comfy, it is very basic and incomplete in essentials.

  We had a wonderful stay at Hawthorn Cottage. It was very comfortable accommodation, very clean and tidy. We had a lovely welcome from the owners, and on arrival to the cottage, we had a hamper of treats waiting in the dining area which was very kind (and the scones were absolutley fantastic!). We found all the information leaflets useful which were provided in the living room as we found things local which we wouldn't have thought of visiting. We had a few cosy nights in, and the living room set up is perfect - with books, dvds, and boardgames - no one could get bored! The cottage was perfectly located for us to travel around to different towns, the cottage also has beautiful walks over Exmoor on its doorstep and it is a very short drive to Lynton & Lynmouth, where we enjoyed the best food in the local pubs and restaurants. It was hard to leave Hawthorn Cottage - we adored it!

  Our host, Suzanna was lovely. Communicated with us personally a few days before and sent links on places of interest and local restaurants which was really helpful so we could book in advance. On arrival there was a fabulous homemade cake and welcome message. She popped in later to introduce herself and we were able to contact her at anytime if necessary. The cottage was well located for local walks straight from the door including the Lorna Doone moors and the West Lyn river. Brilliant local petrol station, well stocked shop with friendly staff within walking distance. Great place for driving out to lots of places. The cottage, a converted barn on 3 levels, was very clean, simply decorated with style and a homely feel. It was well stocked with everything we needed. Warm and cosy on the rainy days. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay which was very relaxing.
