  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.

  Fantastic house and has everything you need for a comfortable enjoyable stay.

  Our teenagers loved the games room in the loft area and we all enjoyed the hot tub! The enclosed garden space was perfect for our energetic dog. The location is perfect to get to Westward Ho beach in about 25 minutes which is a lovely beach as long as you’re mobile enough to get over the cobbled stone wall first and Ilfracombe only half hour away where we took a fabulous speedboat trip. We found a gem of a hotel 5 mins away in Appledore - Durrant hotel I think it was called. They do lovely food and staff are very friendly and helpful it’s dog friendly! Really enjoyed our stay at Seagrass and will be back but just a couple of things would have made it a 10 all round for us, we feel for 4 plus people an extra comfy chair in lounge area or foot stools or pufe would make it more comfortable. There is just 1 TV in lounge which is very small, films we watched in the evening had tops of heads missing!

  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.

  We had a great week at Seagrass.

  The welcoming pack for the family and dog were excellent. The hot tub made a great addition. When we had been on a long walk or bike ride it was nice to relax in when we got back to the cottage. The facilities were good and the cottage had everything you need. The upstairs area came in real handy when the weather wasn't great so you can play table football or board games while you wait for the weather to improve. With shops only 5 minutes away it is in a great location as well. When we arrived however there were quite a few cobwebs that we had to brush/hoover away in the living room and the pillows in the double room could do with renewing as they had lost there softness and were quite flat. Even with these couple of slight issues we would definitely go back and stay again.

  We loved this house, after staying in many Sykes properties this was one of my faves, Purley based on the tasteful decoration it has been beautiful finished and spotlessly clean.

  Everything you needed for your stay. One thing that I was particularly touched by, was the milk, shortbread biscuits, tea & coffee. That was very nice, also the provision for the dog, feeding/water bowls/blanket all you would need had been thought of. If you wanted to make any improvements a minor things you could do, one would be the cordless hoover is really rubbish at picking up, esp dog hair. I would recommend the 'Shark Anti Hair Wrap Cordless Pet Vacuum' we have it at home. It's Light, picks dog hair up, bigger bin. Easy to use. Or just a soft broom would better that the hoover that's there at present. I love Sykes cottages you alway know what you will get, continuely good standard time after time. Thankyou for a pleasant stay.
