    “Upon arrival the cottage was beautiful and clean although there was old dog poo left on the grass which I picked up as I didn't want my own dogs stepping in it.”

    Initially the cottage gave us the wow factor which it is, although we had a few problems the hot tub didn't work properly, we had no hot water and little heating for 2 days and a leak coming through the ceiling from the shower. The owner seemed fine about this at the time and did rectify it bar the hot tub button. The views are beautiful and so is the cottage. These things happen so we were prepared to over look them, however we have now been back 2 weeks and now we are getting blamed for ...

The owner seemed fine about this at the time and did rectify it bar the hot tub button. The views are beautiful and so is the cottage. These things happen so we were prepared to over look them, however we have now been back 2 weeks and now we are getting blamed for damages with the hot tub button/filter and blue marks on the seating which I didnt see. On the whole this cottage is beautiful and would of definitely returned if it wasn't for the accused damage. We have tried to contact the owner but we have had no reply.

    Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback and we are sorry you felt you had to write this about your stay. The heating was working properly, and via the thermostat upstairs and downstairs it can be set to 30 degrees Celsius. It should be noted that Lake View is a stone barn conversion with stone walls, open plan living an open staircase and vaulted ceilings. You also mentioned the hot water was not working but the water temperature for all the showers can be set to a maximum of 36 degrees Celsius. The hot tub is an integral part of Lake View and as such we carry out strict and regular checks on the Hot Tub to ensure it is in full working order (any damage to the controls will be seen during these checks) and it is cleaned and topped up with chemicals every 2 days during your stay. When guests arrive, we will meet with you and take time to explain the Hot Tub and the controls. If the Hot Tub controls are tampered with (i.e. unlocking the panel and changing the settings) this will result in the Hot Tub not working properly. We apologise for any dog mess that we missed but dog poo bags are provided for guests to clear up after their dogs during their stay. It should also be noted that we have several cats, foxes and other wild animals around that also foul the lawns and footpaths. Property Owner

The property

Lapford 4.1 miles.

Lake View is a beautifully-designed, Grade II listed barn conversion in East Worlington near Lapford, surrounded by the undulating hills of North Devon.

With an open-plan living space, bedrooms with en-suites, and family-friendly amenities, the property welcomes a family or group of eight to celebrate a special occasion in a wonderful environment.

Off-road parking for three cars ensures an easy arrival to admire your picture-perfect home-from-home nestled in a rural paradise; the barn has been thoughtfully restored to complement its rustic character with contemporary comforts throughout.

After a country stroll, enter the porch to find an antique church pew to sit and take off your boots, coat hooks, and a convenient ground-floor shower room to wash the dogs!

Wooden beams, exposed stone walls, and country furnishings create a unique living space in the heart of the property, where guests can cook together in the spacious, well-equipped kitchen area, which includes a double electric oven and hob, large American fridge-freezer, and dishwasher for an easy cleanup; don't forget to pop your favourite bottles in the wine cooler for an after-dinner tipple!

Serve meals at the large dining table for eight, which is ideal for a delicious breakfast with views of the countryside through two bifold doors.

During the summer, open them up to let some fresh air in, or dine alfresco at the outdoor seating.

The enclosed garden has lots of lawn space for pets and little children to run around, while the hot tub invites you to relax and unwind in the bubbles.

Escape down to the bottom of the garden where you will find a fantastic new BBQ hut, seating in the region of 12-15 people - here you can enjoy a BBQ in a completely different atmosphere with family and friends whatever the weather.

Gather in the sitting area as night falls for a movie night on the TV, complete with Sky to catch up on your favourite shows or choose from a collection of books and games to keep the whole party entertained.

Lake View also has a utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer to keep holiday clothes fresh, and you can spend more time relaxing!

In this fantastic property, each guest can enjoy a uniquely styled bedroom with a contemporary en-suite and storage space; a ground-floor super-king-size is ideal for elderly guests or those with limited mobility, while three more bedrooms, including a super-king-size with a Juliet balcony overlooking the lake, another king-size, and a twin, can be found upstairs.

If you can tear yourself away from your holiday hideaway, the nearby village of Lapford has a 16th-century pub The Old Malt Scoop Inn, as well as a convenience store where you can stock up on necessities; this ancient village dates back to the Iron Age Celts and is now a pleasant tourist destination with open spaces for ball games and a children's playground.

Pack your clubs and head south to Crediton, where you can put your skills to the test at the town's golf club or enjoy a leisurely stroll through Shobrooke Park to find the perfect picnic location.

In Tiverton, budding historians will find relics to uncover in the numerous halls of Tiverton Castle, as well as the magnificent, gothic Knightshayes Court surrounded by formal gardens and woods; soak in local history at Tiverton Museum Of Mid Devon Life before dining at one of the many cafés.

The old city of Exeter is a must-see during your trip, with attractions such as the Royal Albert Memorial Museum and Art Gallery, a tour of the interesting Underground Passages, and marvel at the 11th-century Exeter Castle, which frequently organises concerts and events in its courtyard.

Treat your loved ones to an amazing visit at Lake View, with so much to see and do from a great vacation home.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.
