What our customers say about their holidays

  One of the reasons we booked the cottage was because of the numerous animals on the farm and the short walk to the pub?

  We only saw 3 Alpacas during our stay and the walk to the pub seemed to be non existant. We couldn't find any path and if we had I'm sure it would have been much more than 6 minutes walk, as stated in the description. Whilst the cottage itself was comfortable and had everything we needed, it did need cleaning. Particularly between the kitchen unit and the fridge and behind the bath. The mirrors were all smeared, I had to clean them to be able to see properly. Beware of the decking outside the patio door, it's very slippery when wet. All that said, it was a beautiful location and the village was lovely and had some beautiful walks. The locals were very welcoming and helpful. The owners of the cottage had been very thoughtful and left us a bottle of wine, fresh bread, milk and biscuits. Excellent clothes washing facilities and thankyou for the added touch of a hair dryer. I would suggest some leaflets at Foxlair, suggesting places to visit as there is no Internet connection for online searching. There are some books in the cottage with historical information on Withypool. The local post office is very helpful with tourist information. We would definately come again as its an ideal location for visiting Lynmouth, Dunster and Porlock and we enjoyed our fury friends in the garden along with the beautiful scenery. Thankyou Jo

  We have stayed in many cottages and will always give a positive review and recommend the cottage, if deserved.

  This cottage should be advertised as unsuitable for anyone with the slightest mobility issue. Every room is accessed via steps. The garden is particularly difficult, with several steps from the kitchen and more to reach the garden. The stairs are unsafe, when decending,. There are inadequate rails to enable a safe decent. My friend fell from the steps into the upstairs bathroom, and could have been seriously injured. There was no information regarding when the bins would be collected, WiFi was also not left for us to access. We had to email the owner. Also, there wasn't a visitors book for us to record our issues. We were relieved to leave the cottage, without an injury. I am of working age and walk in the Lake District regularly and I was cautious of the number of levels in this property. I do not write this review with any malice, merely to deter those who might, like us, find this property unsuitable.

  Great holiday property if you are looking for something quiet and away from any towns.

  The property is very spacious clean and has everything yiu could want views are amazing and rabbits frequented the garden. The pub was not walking distance unless you are used to long hikes or it is dry enough to go across a few fields. The owners were friendly and around as their house is just across the driveway. Only thing I would be aware of is that the roads are very thin and windy so not for drivers who may be wary on country roads so trips out a little daunting. Glad I had taken the 4 x 4 as with my small car would have struggled . On the whole though a fantastic stay and the owners had left us prosecco eggs bread butter and some biscuits which was great

  We were dissapointed that the two bedroom windows looked out into a sort of 'lean to' small utility area, which wasn't very nice.

  We also found that two frying pans were dirty and a saucepan had to be washed before we were able to use it, this would be down to the previous occupants of the cottage. While generally the cottage was clean and very tidy, the skirting boards needed a good clean and when we arrived there were cobwebs in the bedroom and the bathroom, the window frame in the living room area also needed a good clean. If I was paying the greatly inflated prices for next years holiday breaks I would certainly expect a higher level of cleanliness for my money!

  What a wonderful property set in stunning surroundings.

  If you want somewhere off the beaten track this is the place for you. On arrival we had a welcome pack of wine milk butter bread and biscuits which was very welcome also the property was warm and cosy The walks straight out the front door are really good if you have a dog. The shop in the village has nearly everything you need but if you need a supermarket you will need to travel a bit so plan your shopping The property is well equipped with everything you need Would recommend this cottage to anyone
