“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. ❤

“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.
Mrs Gerrish December 2018

“We had the most amazing stay in The Cottage, very well equipped.”

Sue the owner had decorated the cottage with lovely Xmas decorations. We lit the log fire everyday which was really good. The garden would be lovely to sit out in the summer. Cannot fault it, we all said the best cottage ever.
Mr Beckerley November 2018

“The cottage had everything you needed, warm cosy cottage to come back after days out on the coast.”

It was like being at home while on holiday.. The little touches, like dog towels etc were nice, I would definitely stay there again..
Mr Elks October 2018

“The Cottage is an exceptional holiday cottage.”

This is our second stay here which speaks for itself. It’s beautiful, cosy, welcoming and situated in an ideal location. We had the best family holiday here. We all love it here, even Griff our miniature Schnauzer loves it. It truly is a home from home !
Mrs Hunter August 2018

“The cottage had everything you needed including a special basket for the dog with towels, doggie bags and treats.”

We have stayed in many cottages over the years and we have never had this before so thank you. This cottage comes highly recommended and is a real home from home.
Mr Bowden August 2018

“The owner was very helpful, the cottage was exceptionally clean and the garden was beautiful.”

The village pub was great for simple home cooked food, and it was nice to enjoy the local atmosphere there, and we loved the friendly farm dogs ready to great us. Much better than than some posh gastro pub charging a fortune for pretty the same thing.
Mrs Masters June 2018

“Lovely cottage.”

Clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend it. Only drawback may be access to rear garden from cottage. A lot of quite steep steps not really suitable for everyone.
Ms Whitehouse May 2018

“The Cottage, Loddiswell, was a delight; very pretty,cosy and comfortable.”

Well appointed, clean and homely, it makes a peaceful retreat. The lovely,elevated,garden provides a wonderful refuge on a sunny day. I would highly recommend The Cottage,with the proviso that both the stairs,in this Grade 2 listed property, and the steeply terraced garden make access very difficult,if not impossible, for those with any mobility issues. The owner was very attentive and the tea tray and freshly cut flowers provided a lovely welcome. Thank you.
Mr Linecar April 2018

“This was a very comfortable and well kept cottage with all the character of a grade 2 listed building but all the convenience of modern fittings.”

More like a family home than a holiday let. The stone spiral staircase is a real feature but could be an issue for the less agile. Likewise the beautifully kept garden, with many interesting features but plenty of steps. Probably the most 'dog friendly' cottage we have stayed in, with a complete kit of everything a dog needs including dog bed!
Mr Muncer March 2018

“Very enjoyable experience and The Cottage was a delight to live in for the week.”

“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.
