  Some very good features and some not so good - depending on what you value in a property.

  Outside- lovely outdoor seating area and immaculate hot tub that was lovely and hot throughout the stay. Decking and some of the furniture needed a clean before we sat on it - not ideal but not the end of the world. Play room was excellent. Generally very quiet so lovely and relaxing (but you are staying on a site with other guests in adjacent properties so potential for noise). Great playing field for the kids. Goals supplied. Indoor - well equipped kitchen with the exception of no tumble dryer and a slimline dishwasher - annoying but again not the end of the world. lounge was lovely although a bit of a squeeze to seat 6 adults. Needed more cooking knives and larger pans - feedback has been provided to the owner so hopefully future guests will benefit from it. Bed mattresses were comfy. Duvets didn't fit the sheets and fitted sheets were not used so if you have bed-OCD then this may be a problem. Showers were electric and had awfully low pressure - probably the most disappointing part of the stay. We had a problem with the freezer and a couple of other niggles that the owner was very quick to react to and solve so kudos where it is due. felt a bit like the property was slightly damp, particularly in the lower bedroom - given this was August, likely that that feel will be worse in winter months. Stairs to one of the bedrooms is VERY steep - as advertised - 60 degrees. Not a problem for us but may be for others so just be aware. Bathrooms were lovely and clean with lots of storage unlike other properties. Narrow lanes to get to the property like a lot of Devon. Ample parking which was great.

  The fresh eggs and homemade cake were a lovely surprise on arrival and were enjoyed by all throughout the week.

  The venue offered a tranquil relaxing stay. The hot tub was a keen favourite for everyone. The stars were amazing on a clear night. The house was clean and cosy. The kitchen was a great place to gather, enjoying home cooked food and conversation, on a large beautifully crafted wooden table, although the table isn't flat, making eating and serving up a little precarious at times. Generally a well equipped kitchen, although it was ashame the aga was decommissioned, so out of use. A couple of things would have made cooking for a large party a little easier, sharpened knives, the few remaining are very blunt and more of them, a few smaller sized frying pans.. Otherwise pretty good collection of pots and pans. The property advised that you are provided with bed linen and towels, so we didn't bring anything. The bed linen was fine, but we only had 6 towels for 11 people for the week, which was not enough. Especially as you are also using them for the hot tub, you were left trying to dry off with damp wet towels. The wood burner in the living is a homely touch, but unfortunately is missing the seal, making the room smokey. It also meant that it burnt it's way through the wood at a fair pace. Hopefully this will get fixed for the winter. Overall a pleasant and enjoyable stay, would definitely recommend.

  Glenview is a lovely cottage.

  Although it is very close to Lynton and Lynmouth, due to the hilly nature of the area, there is no easy walk in to town. However don't let that put you off. Glenview is extremely well equipped, with everything you would need to cook meals plus plenty of crockery and glasses, which means using the dishwasher is not a problem. It is spotlessly clean and beds are very comfy. The two showers are excellent and having a further toilet downstairs is a bonus.There are TV's in almost all the rooms and lots of little extras provided, including all cleaning and laundry products plus milk, tea, coffee, sugar, juice, salt/pepper, vinegar, tin foil. Even though it is right on the road there was no problem with traffic noise at night even with the windows open. It's elevated position means it may be difficult for anyone with mobility issues although there is a sloping path up from the road as an alternative to the steps. Overall the property is excellent.

  Glenview is a spacious well equipped property which could comfortably accommodate up to five adults in three bedrooms.

  The kitchen diner is of particular note with all the necessary equipment to self cater. Tea,coffee and powder for the dishwasher are supplied as well as a very kind welcome pack of milk and a bottle of wine. The level of cleanliness is exceptional as well. The property is situated on a fairly busy road which appears to be used as a shortcut to cancel out a couple of miles of the A39. Caution is required when walking from the property as there are no pavements. There is one parking space with steps to the property or a ramp at the other end of the property for further pedestrian access. The garden is mostly at the front but is not secure if you have a dog or a child. The noise from the river has been mentioned but it didn't really bother us. I can highly recommend Glenview as a lovely base for exploring all that this beautiful part of the country has to offer

  The property had everything we could possibly need, although new baking sheets would be useful, and different tog duvets dependent on season would have been helpful.

  Attention to detail was evident in the supply of cleaning materials and instruction booklets. As well as everything we needed to cook. I liked the hand mixer as I’m a baker and was able to indulge in baking a few times. The beds and pillows were all very comfortable and linen lovely and fresh being replaced on a weekly basis. A really nice touch we thought. Another thing we liked was the comfy sofas in the lounge and table and chairs in the kitchen. The location of the house is very convenient to see all the area and the cheap petrol at the garage was a bonus. We ordered our groceries from Tesco to be delivered, and I would suggest others do the same if it is their intention to cook rather than go out. All in all, well recommended and a place we would love to stay at again.
