“Lovely cottage that had been refurbished to a high standard with lots of helpful notes around to assist.”

There was an issue with the TV not working properly but we worked around this using internet based programmes. Great contact from a very helpful owner who was very pro active.
Miss Barlow September 2020

“Lovely cottage, very dog friendly garden, ideal rear property parking which made it easy to load and unload the dogs to and from Land Rover for beach walks etc, all beaches and towns were within a 15-20 min car journey.”

Would book again.
Mr Quy September 2020

“The cottage was very nice,Caroline (the housekeeper) was very helpful sorting minor problems immediately.”

baking trays need attention. Shame about village pub, food very poor. Excellent garden for dog.
Mrs O'brien August 2020

“The Cottage is such a beautiful home - we loved the cosy decor and the garden.”

There were fresh flowers, milk and a cake to welcome us and the place was spotless. We were initially going with friends but they had to cancel due to flying back from Spain so we took my elderly parents. The cottage wasn't really suitable for people with any sort of mobility problem as there are 2 bedrooms, one en suite. The en-suite is accessed up a very steep, old staircase with a rope bannister (fascinating that this was part of an old watch tower 700 years ago!). They did manage this with our help but it was a bit difficult. The other bedroom is up a normal staircase but is not en-suite. Also the steps in the garden are a bit slippery and steep. This was all pointed out by The Cottage in the information however so it is not a complain or moan, merely an observation. The garden is large and enclosed and our dog loved roaming around in it. Parking at the back is spacious and there is a pull in at the front for loading and unloading (you can park there if you have a smallish car). It is a proper chocolate box cottage, so cute and pretty with roses around the door. The village is very friendly and the local store sells a lot of essential items. The pub is not very nice - the people are friendly but it is a bit run down and the food is terrible so we wouldn't recommend it. You are within easy reach of lovely places like Bantham beach, Slapton Sands (a must see), Kingsbridge is worth a visit and the pub in Chillington (Bear and Blacksmith) is fantastic, also Salcombe, Dartmouth, Dartmoor, Buckfastleigh and Powderham Castle (bit further away) all worth a visit. All in all, a wonderful cottage in a beautiful part of the country and the weather seemed much warmer than in our native Yorkshire too!

“The Cottage was a great base for exploring the area.”

On arrival, we were impressed with the high standard of cleanliness and facilities. The homemade cake was a nice welcoming gesture! All round, we found The Cottage very comfortable and homely and will definitely hope to return.

“We had a fantastic time in the cottage.”

A very nice place. It was clean and everything you was in the house. Also the garden is a fine place to stay.
Mrs Haynes July 2020

“Fantastic cottage, well furnished and very clean, lovely garden.”

In a great location for visiting many local beaches and towns. Owner was very helpful.
Mrs Neale January 2020

“Everything was perfect, we were visiting Devon to try and get some healing.”

We'd lost my husband back in Oct and my granddaughter and I needed to get away to try and gather ourselves. Everything about the cottage was just lovely, from the welcome tray down to doggie basket with a jar of treats. We enjoyed it so much we had a couple of extra days. So thank you, truly a wonderful break, in stunning surroundings. ❤
Mr Elliott December 2019

“The cottage had everything to make our stay very comfortable.”

The only negative which is minute.Pint glasses and Gin glasses might have helpful and maybe a bag of ice on arrrival ,otherwise a wonderful cottage
Mrs Watling August 2019

“Beautiful cottage, lovely garden, seating area with relaxing views.”

Owners tea and cakes great touch. Great cosy cottage.
Mr Broome July 2019

“Surely this cottage deserves a 5 star rating.”

All the fittings and equipment was ultra modern. In addition the garden was a delight and well used by us in the evening and our little dog explored every inch of it.
Miss Johnston July 2019

“We have just returned from a fabulous 2 week stay at The Cottage.”

It far exceeded our expectations and has everything you could possibly want and need for your stay. There's even a basket of goodies for the dog (towels, bowls, blankets, treats etc). We felt comfortable and cosy from the minute we first arrived. The garden is beautiful and was a bit hit with our Westie, who loved pottering around it everyday. We were extremely lucky with the weather and managed to enjoy a few BBQ's. The Cottage is in a great location for exploring Devon, with numerous places to visit less then 30 minutes drive away. Good local walk for dogs (Woodleigh Wood is a must). Sue (the owner) was extremely helpful during our stay and kept in contact throughout. We were very sad to leave and come home and we are already planning to return next year. (Little tip for those with bigger cars - park at the rear of the property).
Mrs Holdforth May 2019

“A beautiful and very well equipped cottage.”

Wonderful garden with lovely views. We felt as if we had stepped back in time ,it was so peaceful and the cottage is so comfy and homely. An excellent holiday.
Mr Barnett April 2019

“Wonderful quintessential English cottage, a wonderful central place to explore the local area and coast line.”

Superb garden to relax and barbecue in and a well equipped kitchen for cooking, a sitting room with a fantastic fireplace log burner to light and get cosy by in the evenings. Ample parking, I would thoroughly recommend anyone staying at the super gem.
Mr Warren February 2019

“Lovely cottage in a wonderful little village”
Mrs Pierson January 2019

“Facilities were as described and very good but the photo of the cottage looking like there was space around it rather than tightly packed in a narrow lane was misleading.”

Not Sykes fault but the other reservation we had was the owners rather twee crochet mats, random pots etc everywhere, way too much clutter although we appreciate if the owners use the cottage a lot that is there preferred style.

“Wonderful stay”

We have just returned from a week at "The Cottage" and it has been wonderful. The property is quaint and furnished to a high standard and has everything that you could possibly want during your stay. There was a welcome tray and flowers which was a nice touch and the cake very much appreciated. We had the "West Wing" which had a steep twisting stone staircase up to a lovely double bedroom with en suite. The other bedroom was a twin and was just as pretty and was accessed by a more conventional staircase. The garden was a hidden gem as you don't expect it to be so big and the views are spectacular. The village itself has a post office, a shop and the local pub does good food. It is a great location to be able to explore the surrounding area and there are some nice walks which you can do from the front door. A lovely stay and somewhere that we would definitely visit again.
