What our customers say about their holidays

  We enjoyed our stay at July cottage, despite some cleanliness issues which we have raised with the owner separately. The location in the village is lovely, on a very sweet pedestrianised lane, and the village itself is about 20mins from Saunton, Woolacombe and Ilfracombe, using narrow country roads mostly. The space is well organised and decorated, and we had most things we needed for our stay. It's worth taking extra logs for the fire - we stayed at the end of summer when days were around 18° and the cottage was chilly at night, probably because it has very thick walls, so we needed the heat of the fire. Accessibility notes as someone who has mobility issues with a knee injury - there are steps between the main bedroom and bathroom once you're upstairs. The shower screen opens outwards into the bathroom to allow more space to climb in and out of the bath. A non-slip bath mat is provided. There are a couple of types of cobbles on the wall from the car park to cottage, and the ground is generally uneven. I found these cobbles slippery in wet weather. If you arrive on the dark, make sure you have a torch to walk to the cottage. If you're planning to use the second bedroom as an adult be aware it's a small single bed very low to the ground and isn't particularly comfortable. We would consider returning if assurances were made about the cleanliness issues we've raised.

  The cottage is excellent : comfortable, well-equipped, peaceful and the owners very happy to please.

  However, we had no idea about the 43 steps down to the property. As we are both in our late 70s and my husband has mobility issues, before booking we checked the access with Sykes Collages both through the on-line chat and speaking to Martin directly. We were told the only steps were two or three to the front door. This totally ruined the enjoyment of our holiday. Although we had help with our luggage, from very helpful electricians working on the property on arrival and from the owners when departing, the worry about ascending and descending the steps clouded everything. We understand that representatives from Sykes visited the property several times while it was under construction, so there is absolutely no excuse for this vital piece of information being omitted from your website.

  The peaceful little cottage was cosy, clean and thoughtfully decorated with some lovely quirky touches. Pretty and comfortable bedrooms. A little dark downstairs, but comfy sofa, log burner and nice little kitchen area with everything you need. Ideal for a couple or family with younger children. Lovely cool seaside colours. No direct access to a garden so dog owners have a short, but safe and quiet, off road walk to the private enclosed garden and the community field beyond. Very quiet village. Friendly pub and well stocked community shop within a few minutes walk. No problem parking. Short drive to amazing beaches.

  Our family enjoyed a wonderful week at Tree Tops over Christmas. The cottage is lovely - homely and very cosy. We enjoyed nothing better than a relaxing evening in front of the fire! Clean and well equipped, we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Great location, as easy access to both Lynton and Lynmouth, and very handy having the local pub just across the road! The owners kindly decorated the house for us, so we could enjoy a festive home-from-home, and the generous welcome hamper was a lovely surprise. Would highly recommend a stay in Tree Tops and hope to return in the not too distant future!

  This was a really nicely set up property in a great location - such a beautiful walk along the Lyn Way each day into Lynton and down to Lynmouth. So much to see and do in the immediate area - we didn’t move our car from its parking spot for the first few days. The property was lovely and clean; well equipped and styled nicely too. The host was attentive when we contacted them and able to solve a problem that we had so we could continue to enjoy things. The garden has furniture positioned in all the little sun-traps too!
