• Elizabeth - Verified booking

  Good - Fabulous location - Having a parking space was great - really helped.

  - Lovely and clean - Comfy beds - Well equipped kitchen, with a few instant coffee and tea and uht milk sachets on arrival. - Instant response from team when we had a query. Not so Good - No kitchen basics (eg salt and pepper) so don’t forget them. There were a few dishwasher tabs is all. - A number of passive aggressive notices telling you what to do when leaving. (Strip beds and put in linen bags, vacuum any dog hair, bag up towels, leave it clean, empty dishwasher etc). And to be GONE BY 10am. It was a little excessive. I don’t know if people generally leave the house in a state, but I’ve never been harangued in advance in quite the same way. - Hot water ran out every day - and we don’t take long showers (and were only 4 people!) . I’m not sure if the boiler just needs to be on longer? It didn’t seem to reheat after morning showers, so when swimming and wanting a shower later, it was an issue. Note - we didn’t complain at the time, they may have been able to adjust something. But be aware! - I gave 5 stars as it really is a lovely house, even with the above.

  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.

  Pros: Great location near amenities.

  Spacious property, very comfortable beds, clean, good shower in main bathroom. Kitchen quite well equipped. Cons: Kitchen, downstairs toilet and cupboard in second bedroom smelt badly of damp. Could not open patio door in second bedroom as it is loose in frame so could not freshen bedroom or go onto flat roof where washing line located. Parking at side of house difficult to back onto because of parked cars in street and also because it is a narrow shared drive. Nowhere to put toiletries in ensuite or main bathroom. No shaving mirror. Plug in kitchen sink faulty so could not fill sink with water to wash up. Gate in back garden locked so no way out that way. No spare front door key so if one person left house with key and locked front door, other person trapped in house. Loft bedroom very hot and ceiling low so did not use. Settees very uncomfortable.
