The Cabin

We like the Cabin and will use it again as we have friends who live in the area but the property is getting to the stage where it needs updating in quite a few area's.

Both the TV and the air con need replacing or repairing and not all the lights in the lounge/ dining area worked. However the Fish and Chip shop opposite is now open again after being closed for the last few years and the Pack of Cards public house and restaurant just down the road is very good. The town itself is quite run down and has a few empty shops but the walks around the cliffs are amazing.

Had a loverly time in this great property which is perfectly located for exploring this part of north Devon.

It was clean, well looked after and very comfortable for us. My mother has issues with mobility but she had no problems what so ever and the friendly communications were great. Fully recommend this property

Nothing short of excellent!

Beautiful setting. Everything in the cabin was of a high standard. We did have a small issue but it was rectified very quickly. Will definately look to book again.

We had a great stay at the cabin.

The owners were very helpful and message us before arrival and offered any help.we might need. Accommodation is lovely and spacious. Nice enclosed garden area which was useful for the dogs. Really lovely and will happily book again.

Had a super break at The Cabin.

There was nothing we wanted for the owners had thought of everything. The beds were so comfy we all slept like logs. It is in a great location for a stroll down to the sea or visiting nearby towns would highly recommend Lynton & Lynmouth for a day out. We felt really at home and our cockapoos did too. Also the nearby chip shop chips were amazing!

We loved The Cabin.

It was very well equipped, everything you needed for a relaxing and comfy holiday. The owners have thought of everything. Combe Martin is a friendly and interesting village especially the beautiful church.

Amazing holiday find.

The Cabin is very spacious with everything we needed. Spotlessly clean and every detail thought of. Easy to relax in comfortable sofa and chairs. Abi was quick to respond to initial queries on our arrival. The Cabin is on the Combe Martin High Street and a perfect location for a short walk to explore the local beach. Also in easy walking distance are places to eat or takeaway. Round the back of The Cabin is a beautiful church with a pathway by the stream leading to a well kept play area. Also plenty of beautiful surroundings for dog walks. On our list to return.

Very responsive and informative to all our questions, lovely ladies.

Welcome was lovely with a welcome pack and supplies, so thoughtful. Clean, tidy, immaculate. Spacious, we were able to have the dog crates in the hall. Everything you needed, fresh flowers on the table (lovely touch). Chippy opposite was a plus, used most days. Lovely walk to the beach, no inclines, if you have mobility issues. Lots of cafe's, places to eat, pubs, a few gift shops.. No arcades, which is a plus for us with grandchildren. Dogs are allowed on the side beach, so they had a swim every day. Coombe Martin had everything we needed. Bus stop outside, so we could leave the car at the Cabin. Caught the bus to Ilfacoombe and Barnstaple. Will definitely stay here again and would recommend to everyone. In particular dog owners or large groups. Thank you to both ladies x

Brilliant property from lovely furnishings, very clean rooms, everything that is needed for a lovely vacation including peace of mind knowing the back garden, though small is completely secure with 6ft high panel fences that stops the most energetic dogs escaping

The place was exceptionally clean, access and communication with the owner was very good, bright modern kitchen and everything you need for a pleasant stay The configuration of the sleeping arrangements had changed from the pictures online, it had gone from 1 king size bed and a bunk bed in one room, to two king size beds, this didn’t bother us as we could easily change sleeping arrangements but it might not suit others ?

Then beds were very comfortable! A small point to make on a lovely stay which a had great access to the town and small beach. We would stay here again without hesitation when we visit Combe Martin again

We loved it there, spacious and comfortable.

Parking outside the property was a real bonus. The garden, although smallish, was perfect with sunny and shaded areas as well as tables, chairs and benches and secure for dogs (and I suppose children as well). One of the nicest places we have ever stayed in ..

Second stay he and loved it

A welcome information folder with important information about operating white goods, WiFi password and to operating instructions would be helpful.

Lovely cabin, Just a few minor details for example, No instructions how to use any of the appliances, No information pack , No visitors book.

Tv in main room unsuitable for gaming or firestick so needs updating. Apart from these few things we had a lovely stay.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable time staying at The Cabin.

It was spotlessly clean on arrival. Very comfortable & excellent facilities . Really impressed with the bed linen. A fab welcome pack on arrival that came in very useful whilst waiting for our Tesco delivery. Excellent location as not far from the beach to walk our dog. Also a bus stop just outside with a regular service that we used to visit other places. Would recommend (& have)

Fantastic location, fantastic property.

Had everything we needed and more. The owners made us feel very welcome and we couldn’t have asked for anything more x

Great stay, great communication with owner.

Everything we needed was there or if not shops nearby. Brilliant stay have booked again

The interior of The Cabin looked very welcoming .

More so than the exterior.Flowers ,a welcome note ,the fudge and some food essentials were much appreciated.Surprisingly spacious and nicely furnished.Ideal for quite a large family group such as ours . Not forgetting the dog ! More cutlery would have helped as rather limited.Combe Martin an ideal base and a charming little town. Beautiful church and interesting little museum.The beach a hit with the children- rock climbing , crabbing, paddle boarding.

Fabulous holiday let, amazing owners.

Abi was very helpful and always on hand should I have any questions. The cabin is immaculately clean, comfy beds and has everything you need, lots of things to entertain us on a rainy day. Beach is a 20 minute walk, co op a 3 minute walk. We are already looking at booking again next year.

Lovely place to stay, nice and spacious.

If you want peace and quiet this is the place to stay. Everything you could need is there. Comfy beds, co-op just up the road, beach ten minute walk. Would definitely recommend

My family and I had a very good stay in the cabin it was spotlessly clean and very comfortable beds every thing you needed in the kitchen the only thing which would of made the sitting room cosy would of been some low lights as ceiling lights were very bright.

We had a great time, The Cabin is lovely, clean, bright and spacious.

We were very lucky with the weather, which is always a bonus. Doggies loved Saunton Sands and Woolacombe beach. We found Lee Cove which is beautiful and had a great lunch at the lovely pub, well worth a visit. We all had a lovely week. Thank you Abi & Courtney. Pat, Stella, Debs, Barry. Doggies Tasha, daughter Mia and son Harley. xxxx

Just back from our stay at The Cabin.

Lovely spacious property. Spotlessly clean and has everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Really close to amenities, short walk to beach, and several friendly pubs. The lovely owner is on hand for anything else you might need. Would highly recommend and hoping to return.

Really enjoyed our stay.

Accommodation was spotless & had everything we required. Will definitely book again

A brilliant bungalow in a lovely village.

The Cabin is spacious with everything you need for the whole family. Co op up the road, chippie across the road and good friendly pubs in the village. The whole area is dog friendly Abi is always just a phone call away if needed. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

The cabin is absolutely gorgeous!

Walking into such beautiful comfort and an amazing greeting for our holiday, Abi and Charlotte left welcome packs, items to have a good brew which was needed after a day of travelling across the country some lovely fudge and plenty of information of what to do in the area. I’ve walked past the cabin many times whilst in Combe Martin and I’m so glad myself and my partner finally stayed with our dog. We always come to visit family in the village but we normally get a dog sitter, but after the welcome we will be bringing him with us every time! Abi couldn’t have been more welcoming to and helpful and even on checkout day making sure to be as friendly and helpful as possible. We will be back again, that is if Abi and Charlotte will have us, what a beautiful property with amazing hosts, definitely recommend staying here!

The whole experience was delightful, the Cabin is beauitifully set out, the owners thought of everything.

In short my family want to have another holiday there as soon as we can.

Very pleased with accommodation and position, very enjoyable stay

Absolutely perfect.

The Cabin has got everything you need for the perfect stay. Very well equipped kitchen comfortable beds. Comfortable sofas and chairs. Brilliant water pressure in the shower. The whole place was spotlessly clean. Well situated chippy opposite for the lazy days and the co-op 250 yards away. The weather was against us but the Cabin has lots to offer. Lots of space and a choice of 3 good quality TVs games and a good outside area. I would highly recommend this to one and all for great family memories. I would definitely book again! Well done Abi and Courtney Mark and family

The place was out of this world, I've stayed in a few places in my time but this beats every one of them.

Spacious, comfortable, I would really recommend this place and if you have kids there's a garden and not far from the beach. Lovely place to stay. Try it. Good for family and friends. Gina. Ps, will be going back.

Lovely week, owners very helpful throughout our stay.

Local facilities very good, short walk to CoOp, Post Office, Pack o' Cards also short walk away. The Cabin is in a great location walks near by and bus stop directly outside. Don't be surprised by people standing outside The Cabin they are just waiting for the bus!

Lovely stay owner was easy to communicate with, and very helpful.

The Cabin was absolutley spotless, everything we could need. Great parking, lovely private garden, ideal for our two papillons! Nice welcome pack, could not reccomend enough. Would love to come back.

We really enjoyed our stay!

The location is great and the cabin was fully equipped with everything we needed. The host was very helpful and thoughtful! Lovely, quiet area with friendly people and picturesque hikes nearby.

This was our second visit, having been here 5 years ago, still as we remembered and a lovely home from home.

We had a lovely stay.

The Cabin was very clean,comfy and well equipped. It is set in a delightful spot with everything needed on the doorstep. We could not have asked for more

Excellent property!

Very comfortable. Everything there you could think of/need, to make your stay enjoyable. Even down to fresh flowers in the dining area. The owners checked to make sure all was well when we got there and we had a contact no.in case we needed anything that they'd forgotten.(that never happened). Brilliant stay! Would highly recommend.

The cabin was excelent every thing you could possible ask for the best self catering accomdation we have ever stayed at.

The Cabin was the most well equipped place we have ever stopped.

It was clean and tidy. Generous living/dining area. Kitchen is small but fully functional with everything you need. Electric hob took abit of getting used to, but managed it. The owner left us a little care package which was very nice of them which consisted of tea, coffee, sugar, milk, biscuits and a little gift. Main bathroom had a shower cubicle. Main bedroom was very comfortable with an ensuite bathroom (bath but no shower). 2nd bedroom was big and very comfortable with 2 double beds which could be a little awkward if adults were sharing, but fine for kids. 3rd bedroom small with a bulk bed. Good for kids, but adults wouldn't fit. Nice little garden with grass for a dog. If there was one thing they could look at was some of the doors. Particularly the main bathroom, we all got locked in at some point. Chippy over the road that's open mon-sat 5-8pm. But would recommend ordering on the Friday as it gets really busy with orders so don't allow walk ins. 2 large pubs with gardens within 2 mins walk of the cabin. Neither did food when we were there, but I think one does normally, but the chef was on holiday. Both allowed dogs. Combe Martin is small and beach wasn't the best, all pebbles, no sand. Parking is very difficult. Best to walk the 15 mins to the beach. But the Cabin is ideally situated as a base for visiting Woolacombe and Ilfracombe ect. Saunton sand was a lovely beach too. Good for body boarding and dog friendly.

Amazing Holiday property!

Highly recommend. Clean and comfortable. Brilliant location. The property has absolutely everything you would need. Friendly and helpful property owners. We will definitely be booking this property again in the future. 10/10.

Wonderful cabin with everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Great location for exploring Exmoor and the coast. Coombe Martin is a little quiet out of season but still a great seaside village with walks from your doorstep.

My husband is a wheelchair user so rang Sykes to ask if it would be suitable and was told it was ok .

Luckily we asked the owner a day before we travelled when we were sent their details and was told the toilets were not accessible so had to buy a folding commode for £90 . We had booked hotels for the journey there and back as it took us 7 hours and my daughter and son in law had booked the time off so felt we couldn’t cancel at that stage . I always ring when booking accommodation and don’t book online as my husband cannot walk . Disappointed you don’t have all the information about the cottages to hand .

This was the second time that we had booked with Sykes Cottages and again it didn’t disappoint.

The Cabin was very spacious and it had everything you could possibly want. There was parking for 3 cars although it was a bit of an art parking if yours was the third car especially when somebody had parked on the opposite side of the road to the drive. There was plenty of wardrobe space and drawers. The oven was good although food took longer to cook on the hob than it did at home. There was always hot water. There were 2 bathrooms, one with a bath and toilet and the other with a shower and toilet, the water was always hot. It had a very well equipped kitchen. There were loads of children’s games, there was even fishing nets and crabbing nets and buckets. There was a washing line with pegs. The garden wasn’t overly big but there were plenty of seats and we had the sunshine. It was situated at the top end of the High Street and was a trek to the beach, but one in the car. It was very well situated to drive to places. We went to the Wildlife and Dinosaur Park which was only a 2 minute drive away, and also Watermouth Castle which was on the way to Ilfracombe, both places were worth going to. We went to The Sandy Cove Hotel, just before Watermouth Castle and the views are stunning and their afternoon tea was scrummy. There was a lovely pub, George and Dragon, a few yards up the road, which was lovely, really good food, lovely management and staff. All in all we couldn’t have asked for better, a home from home once again. Thank you.

The cabin was lovely, great location, clean and spacious enough for 2 families and 3 dogs.

Abi was really helpful and there was lots of local information available. The garden is fairly small but bigger than it appears on the photos and perfect for just letting the dogs out. Would highly recommend.

Back door to very small rear garden leads off from the master bedroom which can be very annoying when you have dogs and family that want to sit in garden in the evening.

Also a folder with property and local information would have been useful as would a washer dryer esp as Devon weather not very kind at times. The village of Combe Martin is very run down compared to other places in the area with lots of closed down shops, pubs etc.

The cabin was a lovely place to stay.

The owners kept us informed about everything. The cabin had everything and more than youd need for a holiday. It was a great base to see Devon. Local pubs were very friendly. Great place to stay with dogs, most places are dog friendly.

The cabin is pretty, comfortable and functional.

It’s an easy walk into town and to the nearest amenities. I’d have no hesitation recommending it.

Lovely place to stay, everything we needed was there.

Abi the owner was on the end of the phone if needed, even though she was on holiday herself, and had Contacts in the area if we needed anything. Lovely touches with tea coffee milk and fresh flowers on the table, even doggy treats. Would definitely stay again! Pat Doreen and Steve

The cabin is clean, welcoming & located well.

There is plenty of room & space to unwind. Abi had put some fresh flowers out along with doggy treats & lovely fudge. Also a small pack with tea, coffee, sugar & milk. Wonderful. The only negative is the king bed (en suite), the mattress sinks in the middle & we found it most uncomfortable. Its a sign of the springs gone & needing replacement. Also, there are several weeds around the front door & driveway which look awful & need clearing. The front door needs cleaning. Other than that, interior was spotless & we would return.

As always we had another fantastic time in this excellent Cabin.

Probably the best holiday accommodation we have ever been in

Everything in the accommodation that you might need was provided, excellently clean, great communication.

Plus lovely welcome gift for us and the dogs.

The Cabin has everything you need for your holiday.

Very spacious and the most important thing was a very secure garden for our dogs. Though not a problem for us the door to the back garden was through the main bedroom. Which could be a problem in the night if a dog needs to go out. The kitchen is very roomy and well equipped. Outside the cabin is the bus stop. Children do tend to congregate on the drive waiting for their school bus. Not a problem though a bit of a shock when we opened the curtains and a dozen well behaved children were standing outside the window. On arrival Abi had left us tea, coffee, sugar, fresh flowers on the dinning room table, milk and some biscuits for the dogs. Also a curtesy call mid week to see we were ok. Very much appreciated. If we visit North Devon again we would certainly like to stay at the cabin.

Fantastic chalet well appointed, immaculate and modern.

Made to feel very welcome by the owners and had a hamper with tea etc upon our arrival.In a great location with a fantastic Fish & Chip shop opposite. Very friendly people and a fantastic base to explore the North Devon coast. Our great British weather did not dampen our stay with plenty to see and do in the area. Our day rounded of perfectly with a drink in the George & Dragon less than 200yrs away where we were made to feel very welcome.

Abi has thought of everything to make a holiday easy, comfortable and enjoyable.

The cabin is deceptive, it is very spacious inside with high ceilings which add to the feeling of space. The kitchen is very well equipped with all essentials. I liked the way the owner had really thought about what was necessary, not just cluttering it with cast off kitchen items. There is a lovely view of the nearby Church from the kitchen window. The garden is small, but there is grass and it is fully enclosed and safe for dogs. It's a walk down to the sea, but there are alternative country footpaths if you want to avoid the busy street. Lovely to have easy car parking at the property.

First impressions was lovely, clean and beautiful surroundings.

I soon felt like it was home from home and my little dude felt comfortable and rested too which to made me feel at ease. We will definitely be coming back in the near future. Abi was fantastic and reassured us that if we needed her she would be on hand. Thank you :)

A lovely little base for a family getaway that is suitable for bringing your dogs.

Clean roomy and comfortable, what more can you ask for? We used it for a short notice break and it was perfect. Really convenient for the lovely beaches of Ilfracombe and Woolacombe.

The Cabin is a home from home and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

The owners Abi and Courtney were super, giving us the privacy you want but the reassurance they’re only a call away. The Cabin was beautifully clean and extremely welcoming after a long journey. An ideal base to explore North Devon with many places within a 10 to 50 minute car journey. Combe Martin is a quaint and bountiful town with very friendly locals and Ilfracombe is a must visit town just 5 minutes away. After a great day exploring the area our return to the Cabin was a welcome retreat with super facilities and space to relax and recharge for the following day. Simply the Cabin gives you everything you need as a foundation for whatever type of holiday you’re looking for, whether adventure, exploration or purely beautiful walks in stunning scenery. Will definitely return and highly recommend.

The Cabin was beautifully presented and we (8 humans and 3 dogs) felt instantly at home.

The space was palatial and everything we could need was to hand. ALL of the beds were comfortable (a rare thing) and all of the fixtures and fittings were indestructible. We'd highly recommend The Cabin for families. The dogs in particular were very mournful on their first day back home - a sure sign they enjoyed their break in North Devon. I must add that Abi, although we never met, was the perfect host - answering a stream of questions cheerfully and instantly by text.

One of the best self catering holidays we have had.

As a a family of 6 there was plenty of space and everything we needed. We used the Cabin as a base to explore the area. There is everything you need within the village should you not want to travel far; but the beach is a long walk especially with children but pubs very close by and the chip shop opposite is fantastic! Great holiday

The Cabin was a homely and welcoming place to come back to at the end of another lovely day in this fabulous part of the country.

Our thanks to our really super hosts.

Fantastic well equipped cottage with everything you could think of foot a perfect holiday.

Super pet friendly. A great location for exploring the North Devon coast. The hosts really had thought of everything.

it was most enjoyable the cabin was excellent ,there was some lovely walks for the dogs I would definitely book again

The cabin was very spacious and clean.

Very close to animal parks and zoos and take away opposite was great! Will be looking to visit again!

The cabin was excellent, everything we needed was provided, clean, well kept, really enjoyed it.

We would book again, couldn’t ask for more.

Fabulous holiday accommodation.

Very welcoming and homely, we stayed for a week and it had everything we needed, and more! It’s great for a family, brilliantly geared up for little ones but in a very subtle way. Living area is very spacious, very modern TV in the living room. Could easily fit 3 vehicles off the road which appears to be quite unique for the area. Ilfracombe is a short drive away and the beach is 20-25min walk (with children, quicker without!!) pubs everywhere and chippy opposite is worth a visit. 2 fabulous days out in the Dinosaur Park and Castle both less than 10mins drive away. Highly recommend.

The cabin had everything you could ask for location was great for lovely beach walks bowls and towels for the dogs lovely enclosed garden i would recommend this cottage to everyone would love to go back

Sykes was excellent all along the way from start to finish and the Cabin we stayed in was perfect with great owners who just let you get on with your holiday

An excellent cabin in a fantastic location, the pictures do not do it justice.

Abi was extremely helpful and even checked on us midweek to ensure we had everything we needed and didn’t have any problems. We will definitely be returning.

We had a lovely stay in Coombe Martin, the Cabin was really well equipped and very clean and made our break even more enjoyable.

The Cabin was a very lovely place to stay, when we got there we had coffee , tea and a box of fudge to welcome us with a little card .

Abi said if we needed anything she is there to help no matter how big or small the problem/issue was , Abi really went the extra mile to help ensure our holiday went smoothly.My husband is in a wheel chair and needs oxygen 24/7 before we had arrived Abi had taken the oxygen in for us , if she had not done this we may have had trouble getting the oxygen people back as it was a weekend. the cabin is accessible for people In manual wheelchairs and is very spacious inside , there is parking spaces on the property that really helped when getting my husband in and out of the car, the property is child friendly and was even able to take a 3 dogs who also had a good holiday, the beach is in walking distance and also has many amenities that make it a lovely place to have a holiday. I couldn't praise the effort's that Abi has made enough , as going on holiday with somebody who is on oxygen for the first is quite daunting as we never new what to expect and she made it a very pleasant and stress free time. Thank you very much the property was very lovely and we had a really good holiday. :)

The cabin looked and sounded good on the listing ,however it exceed that ,everything from human comfort to doggie comfort (dog towels,bowls,poo bags welcome doggie treat).

was catered for. The bed was the most comfortable holiday stay one we've ever slept in.I can't praise the cabin too highly,added bonus of bus stop to combe martin centre right outside,chip shop opposite ,and the photos of garden don't really do it justice,it's bigger and nicer welcome card from Abi was a nice touch,all in all a lovely experience,

The Cabin was perfect in many ways.

Ample space, clean, good facilities, enclosed garden for our dogs, good parking, a short drive to great beaches such as Woolacombe, a great local pet shop within a few hundred yards, pubs within a minutes walk and directly opposite a very good chippy! Would very happily return one day.

Couldn’t recommend The cabin highly enough!

! We had a fantastic time and the nicest touch was the fact that tea, coffee, sugar, milk and biscuits were provided for when we got there !! And fresh flowers on the table !! Superb !! Will definitely be back

The Cabin is in an ideal location and is huge!

With everything you need for a comfortable holiday . Bedding and towels are good quality, beds very comfortable. we had a great time and will be definitely be going there again

Wow wow wow what a lovely place to stay.

The cabin is beautifully equipped with everything we needed we were welcomed by abi who was very nice and very very helpful. Once she showed us around we were welcomed with a card wishing us a lovely holiday then in the kitchen we were left the basic items tea coffee sugar biscuits and milk such a lovely touch. This home is excellent for a large family or even two families and it's very very comfortable. There is local pubs with in walking distance for meals the pack of cards does amazing Carvery on a Sunday highly recommended this place for food. Across the road from the cabin is the best fish and chips we ever had it's called the Top chippy it holds to its name we went here a few times as they have a massive menu can also recommend the pizza. You can walk into Combe Martin town which takes about half an hour stroll 3/4 of a mile We're so glad we booked this place and hopefully be able to book again for next year.

Location comfort and weather

We had a lovely weekend at the cabin.

..we found Abi had left us biscuits milk tea coffee and sugar and a lovely card for when we arrived,the cabin was huge with a lovely little garden it was in a nice spot with loads of room to park, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable ...

Good location, very comfortable, we really enjoyed our holiday.

We would definitely stay at The Cabin again if coming back to the area.

The owners were extremely accommodating , friendly and helpful.

The accommodation was spotlessly clean , extras thoughtful. i.e. al the equipment for the dogs , salt and pepper , hair dryer, entertainment for the children . All the small touches that we have not experienced in holiday accommodation with other providers, which made us note to come again . The garden would be great ( enclosed for children and dogs) in the better weather . Overall we were very impressed with our short break , and the ability to book for a few days rather than a fixed week made a huge difference. Thank you
