“It was our third time at Bracondale and I can't fault it.”

We had a wet week but were very comfortable and love being able to treat it as 'home from home'.

“I totally missed in the description that there was no central heating in this property.”

Luckily for us we had a week with beautiful weather, but I wouldn’t stay in this house during wintertimes, although it has small electric heaters for extra heating beyond the woodburner. We have rented houses with Helpful Holidays and Sykes Cottages for years and always to our satisfaction but would not return to this one.
Mr Hiles August 2019

“Cottage had everything we needed but seating in the lounge was a little limited.”

Also a small freezer would be useful especially for families with young children. Parking was a challenve for two cars.
Mr Cockersell August 2019

“Lovely, homely very child-friendly cottage without all the china ornaments and frilly bits that some cottages have and that make stying in them more stressful with kids.”

It has a lovely garden too, it's in a lovely pretty and quiet village with an excellent shop and two pubs, and about half a mile from another village with a cafe and another two pubs. Stepp climb but easy walking access to the open moor, and well-located for North Devon beaches as well.
Mrs Drury August 2019

“A really lovely cottage in a pretty village.”

Lovely beds and had everything you might need during your stay. Only 2 things that would have improved an already excellent stay.... when we’ve stayed at other cottages, we’ve been left a welcome pack - milk, tea, coffee etc. We had nothing this time, which was absolutely fine - we’d got everything with us and the little village shop was also open. Also, in other cottages we’ve been in there have been copies of local walks etc in the welcome folder, there wasn’t this time and we had to rely on Google (which had mixed results!). It’s just always nice to have a bit of local knowledge passed on. But these are two very picky points from what was an outstanding cottage. We honestly couldn’t fault it. We had an amazing holiday.

“Cottage had everything you needed, everything thought about.”

Gorgeous cottage in a fabulous village. Would definitely book again x
Mrs Lambourne May 2019

“The cottage was so comfortable, clean and has a lovely relaxed feel in a friendly village.”

This was our 2nd visit and hopefully there will be more!
Mrs Williams May 2019

“This was our third stay at Bracondale.”

The cottage is an ideal base for walking. It was lovely to sit in the garden after walking on the moors. The cottage itself is clean and comfortable.
Mrs Rose April 2019

“Very comfortable and well equipped cottage.”

MIssed a freezer but otherwise had everything we could have wanted. Great location.
Mr Martin January 2019

“A very comfortable, well equipped property in a lovely village on the edge of Dartmoor.”

It’s location close to the A30 makes an ideal base to explore the surrounding area. Equally the local area was worth exploring - we did some great walks from the cottage.
Ms Tee December 2018

“Bracondale Cottage is a lovely well-equipped home in a charming friendly village where we spent 3 wonderful days exploring Exeter, Torquay, part of the moor and cooking some amazing meals.”

......would love to have stayed longer and was quite sorry to leave. Two little suggestions for improvement would be a sponge for washing-up and more robust dustbin liners..
Mrs Whapshott December 2018

“Cosy house, warmed quickly with wood burner, quiet and very comfortable beds.”

Information folder interesting and useful.
Mrs Lambourne July 2018

“The cottage itself exceeded our expectations and was very well presented.”
