“We were so happy with the property and location and the listing on Sykes website absolutley matched our expectations.”

We will defintley consider this property again as we loved the beauty and warm hospitality received in out week in Exmoor national park. It was a very decent price for the week too.

“The Old Farm House is a big house with good sized rooms upstairs and down.”

It was well equipped and the owner was friendly and helpful. The booking email attachment included directions to the house which mention an ice cream park opposite which is no longer there. The outside of the property looks better than that on the web site picture. Also shopping delivery systems do not see the Old Farm House - so we did 'click and collect'. Interior of property could do with redecoration - new shelves and blinds had been fitted - all good - but the old fixing holes were still there. The lounge sofas are a bit old and tired. The kitchen was well equipped but the cooker pans only just held food for 6 adults - they would not have managed for 9 adults if they ate as we did! The showers were all good when used individually - but if all 3 were in use at the same time the en-suite shower went cold. Beds in several of the rooms, especially the twins, were very creaky! Linen and towels were all clean. The house is in a lovely rural location but unfortunately there are no walks from the house which do not include walking along the windy, narrow roads

Thanks for completing your feedback. We have spoken to the owner who has confirmed the Ice Cream Park was once an Ice Cream Parlour and is used merely to help locate the property on arrival. The property is gravity fed therefore if all bathrooms are being used at the same time, this can potentially affect the water flow. We are pleased that despite the points raised you enjoyed your stay. Owner relations

“When I had an issue with Covid-19 regulations, and thought that the whole party could not go, Sykes washed their hands of it and didn't want to know.”

Told me that I could not cancel, and that it was between me and the owners of the cottage (even though I had no contact details for them and they refused to give me them!) Will not use Sykes again.

About the location

DULVERTON

Minehead 17 miles.

Dulverton is the southern gateway to the Exmoor National Park, a small town standing between the rivers Barle and Exe, which meet further down the valley. Dulverton has some quaint narrow streets weaving between fine Victorian buildings and a three arched bridge crossing the river leading to riverside walks. There are plenty of shops, restaurants and pubs in Dulverton and in the square is the Exmoor National Park visitor centre and art gallery, offering plenty of inspiration for exploring the vast expanse of the moor on foot, on horseback or from behind the wheel. Why not try an off road safari around Exmoor to see red deer, wild ponies and rare birds? Exmoor has been designated as a Dark Sky Reserve, where the light pollution is low and plenty of stargazing can be done. Near to Dulverton is the majestic lake at Wimblewall Country Park, the first Dark Skies Discovery Centre on Exmoor. Wimblewall is also a premier trout fishing location, and provides tuition in numerous water sports, including sailing, windsurfing and canoeing. Further afield the North Somerset coastline has sandy beaches at Minehead, picturesque harbours and plenty of wild walking around Porlock Weir. A fabulous holiday destination for all those enjoying outdoor activities, dramatic landscapes and wildlife.

Note: There is no mobile signal at the property. Broadband at the property is ok for browsing but not downloading.
