  The cottage was beautiful both inside and out. It was lovely and warm and welcoming. It was so quiet!. The only time I was woken up was by an owl hooting nearby. The garden is beautiful and tranquil. Sheena and Rod were most welcoming and are fabulous hosts. They are not intrusive and are extremely helpful in advising on local amenities and where they recommend to visit. Our dog Mylo was also made welcome with some dog chews which was a lovely touch, as was the cream tea when we arrived. The cottage was spotless, the bed HUGE and the bathroom beautifully appointed. We have stayed on a self catering basis all over the world and have always been disappointed with the lack of equipment. Not the case at Thyme… from foil to freezer bags, spatulas galore to toast racks, the place had everything we have in our kitchen at home. They have thought of everything!! We used Thyme as a base to visit the beaches to the west (we liked Duck Pool best), the north coast (Westward Ho! has a fabulous beach), we went down into Cornwall even as far as Plymouth and enjoyed many outings to National Trust properties. We thoroughly loved our week at Thyme and would highly recommend it both as a place to relax and a base from which to explore the beautiful southwest.

  Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful cottage. It was so lovely and peaceful here. Watching all the different birds out the kitchen window and seeing the squirrels was lovely. The cottage is so lovely and everything in it, for you to use was great. The Hot tub was a bonus, lovely and relaxing. The robes and slippers where a lovely touch. Excellent thought out, and nothing was a problem. Rod and Sheena and their daughter were lovely and lovely chatting to them, about the area. We visited the Westleigh Inn for an evening meal, well worth a visit, the food was amazing and the staff very friendly and chatty. We visited, Clovelly, Hartland Quay, Dartington Crystal making and Bude. All of the places were lovely to visit and we enjoyed. Would recommend to friends and we loved our stay here so relaxing. PS The scones and clotted cream was also a nice touch.

  1. It's the hosts who "exceeded expectations" , not Sykes !

  The initial telephone contact was warm, friendly and informative; this was matched by the initial meeting and all contact thereafter. The Cottage came with a "starter pack" that included washing up liquid, toilet & kitchen rolls, salt n pepper & loadsa tea / coffee. Freeview tv a bonus. 2. We stupidly placed an item on the night storage heater, thereby staining it. They were so understanding and tactful even tho' they must have been seething with us. 3. The whole family enjoyed the break, especially the 2 x 12 year olds who made the most of the pool. 4. I was unwilling to spoil the ambience at the time, but the hosts might consider advising people staying in the place above The Cottage that every chair-scrape / footstep/ table move resonates down below ! Thoroughly recommend both the property and the owners who were unobtrusively there if needed.

  Thank you so much for an amazing stay! The cottage is absolutely beautiful, with everything you could possibly need for a wonderful holiday. We particularly enjoyed the scones and free range eggs. The hot tub was fantastic and a lovely way to relax after a long day of exploring Devon and Cornwall. We visited many beautiful places during our stay, including Bude, port Isaac, Fistral beach in Newquay and even ventured right down to land End, worth the trip. Thank you for providing such a comprehensive welcome folder. We had two meals at the Rydon Inn, the food was lovely as was the setting. We have had a wonderful holiday and will be recommending Thyme at South Worden to all our friends and family.

  We had a lovely stay at The Swallows Nest. Unfortunately the heating wasn’t working and the log burner had been broken by previous guest but as soon as I asked for extra heaters the owner was extremely accommodating and went and got some for us. The heating was then fixed on our third day whilst we were out exploring so didn’t disrupt us. The house was immaculate and had everything needed for our stay, we even managed to make a full roast dinner for 6. Lots of good quality towels and bedding and beds were comfortable. The cream tea hamper on arrival was much appreciated and delicious and the hot tub was a lovely touch. Thanks for a lovely stay, would highly recommend
