The Old Parlour

Very comfortable accommodation in a great setting with a lovely garden.

The Old Parlour had everything we needed including a dishwasher and washing machine. The extensive garden was a real bonus which we all enjoyed exploring especially our dog! The pub in the village about a 10 minute walk away was welcoming and served good food. The property is well located for exploring Dartmoor and the surrounding area. We would stay there again.

We had a very relaxing week at The Old Parlour, the cottage is lovely and the extensive gardens were an added bonus, there was a surprise at every corner.

We enjoyed watching the squirrels playing and seeing the friendly robin every morning. We thouroughly enjoyed our stay.

Very nice comfortable cottage the garden is amazing never seen anything like it if your into astronomy the night sky is glorious overall we will be going again in the future.

This was our second stay at The Old Parlour, and it certainly won’t be our last.

It’s a truly wonderful holiday home in a fantastic location, but what really sets it apart are the stunning grounds, which are simply breathtaking. Andrew, the owner, is always on hand if you need anything or would like recommendations about the local area. Nothing is too much trouble, and his hospitality makes you feel incredibly welcome. We genuinely couldn’t fault a thing. The Old Parlour is a fantastic place to stay, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

We had a wonderful week,our dog Dennis thoroughly enjoyed the garden, As did we, having trees too shade us was wonderful in this heat .

We Would definitely like to return in the future. Thank you for your hospitality.

This was my 3rd time staying at the old parlour, and the 1st time my parents also stayed.

I do love the cottage and gardens, however as it was the first time I'd used the upstairs bedroom, I was a bit disappointed that there was no air up there with not having any windows. I did use the fan provided but all it does is blow warm air around the room. However we did love the gardens and so did the dogs.

This place really is beautiful.

It's like a retreat, so peaceful. The gardens are stunning and the cottage is very comfortable, everything we could want for a break away. There is nothing negative about this property at all... we will book again!

Lovely grounds, nice and well maintained property.

Our dogs loved running around the gardens. The owner was friendly and helpful.

We had a wonderful stay at the Old Parlour, the cottage was warm, very comfortable and equipped with everything you need.

The extensive gardens you have access to are beautiful and there is a wonderful view of the garden from the lounge with large windows to see the visiting birds. We had a warm welcome and there is plenty to see in the local area. Just perfect for us and we would love to return.

Everything was perfect for our time at The Old Parlour.

The two of us with our dog Isla were warmly welcomed by the owner (and his dog) who were always interested in how we were enjoying our visit. Although we explored what to us was a new area we equally enjoyed the relaxing and beautiful parkland setting of The Old Parlour.

Wonderful accomodation in fantastic grounds.

The only thing that the "Old Parmour" needs is a decent sized fridge freezer - an under the counter fridge with no freezer space is not acceptable in modern day living.

Fantastic accommodation and spectacular gardens How lovely to have the dog off lead in the huge gardens

The Old Parlour exceeded our expectations.

The property is spacious and light and provides everything that you need for a very comfortable stay. The gardens are beautiful too with many hidden areas to discover. The pub in the village is only a short walk away and serves excellent food.

We have just returned from our holiday here.

We would like to extend our thanks to Andrew and Lombok (the dog), for a wonderful stay. Property was clean, tidy and had everything you needed for a perfect Devon stay. The gardens were a delight to wonder around, and the small maze was a great touch! Beds were comfortable and the shower was a godsend to sooth aching joints after long walks! My opinion is this was the best place we have stayed so far in Devon (we come every year for a week). What would make this even better (personally for us) was reclining sofas to settle for the thing to watch the wildlife in the garden! Although I think if we did have reclining sofas we wouldn't leave!! All in all a home away from home. Another great thing was the owner did not bother you one little bit and left us to our own devices. Perfect in my eyes! Thanks again Andrew, for a great staycation!

It is a very nice old house and beautifully furnished.

. The Garden is beautiful, you can sag Park. The owner is very friendly and helpful. We can highly recommend the house.

Great place to stay; quiet, pleasant, well kept.

Wonderful gardens in which to enjoy.

What an amazing find !

!!!! So spacious amazing walk in wet room very well equipped open plan kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine

Superb cottage in a superb location.

We had 14 nights and couldn’t do everything in the areas we would have like to do. Andrew is friendly and helpful but gave us space and privacy. Can’t beat the gardens and space in the cottage.

This is a stunning property, well equipped to a high standard and with the most beautiful gardens.

The owner and his dog are round and about if you have any questions.

We had a wonderful week here and were blessed with lovely weather.

The accommodation is clean, comfortable, well appointed and everything screams quality. Andrew is the perfect host, present without being intrusive and always more than happy to indulge in questions about the truly magnificent grounds at your disposal. It is a gardener’s paradise, more a question of what Andrew does ‘not’ grow and I came back with quite a few ideas for my modest plot. Being mainly south facing you get the sun for most of the day and we found ourselves being perfectly happy to just chill for most of our week there. Most definitely one of the nicest cottages we have ever rented,

Excellent cottage, very comfortable and well-equipped.

It's so quiet and peaceful and the owner's garden which you can freely wander around was bliss for us as garden lovers and our dog who loved being able to run freely. We hope to return.

This was my second stay at the old parlour, the cottage is so cosy and the gardens are amazing.

My dogs loved playing and exploring in the garden, it was so peaceful and quiet, I loved sitting outside doing my painting. There are so many places to visit in the area as well, you don't have to drive far. I have booked to stay again next year.

A very comfortable property with friendly and accommodating owners.

Highly recommended.

Comfortable accommodation, set in stunning garden, welcoming but non intrusive owner, great location, second time staying in this property and would love to return

What a fantastic place,wanted for nothing,and the gardens where lovely to walk around.

all in all everything was great

We had a fantastic week at the Old Parlour.

The house is very comfortable and had everything we needed. The garden really is amazing! It was the perfect location for exploring Devon and we would definitely recommend. Andrew was a welcoming host, there to greet us after our long journey and on hand if we'd needed anything. Thank you for a fabulous week.

Had a brilliant week in the old parlour is beautiful and the grounds are amazing.

Will definitely be back again.

Amazing property with a fantastic garden.

Loved sitting outside watch & listening to all the birds . Both the Old Parlour & the Gardens are a reflection of Andrew's hard work . Highly recommend The New Inn a great welcome & Lovely food .

Stunning location, fantastic for tweeters and walkers.

We will definately be back! (this is a fab property but it would be clearer to note that the second bedroom is difficult for adults sharing, children or those who have difficulty with stairs)

A fabulous stay.

Large cottage, well equipt, spaceous open plan & in superb condition throughout. Very tastfully presented with lovely fitted kitchen units & floor to ceiling wardrobes.The outside grounds were unbelievable. Acres of enclosed secure woodland. Paths leading off to themed areas, ponds, speciality plants & shrubs, enclosed areas of mature trees & bushes. Our dog was in his ellement exploring and running around with "Lombok" Andrew the owners pet collie. The entire estate is a reflection of Andrews hard work & attention to detail. Dont think we have ever been to somewhere remotely like this & probably not likely to find anywhere similar so we will be going back, Soon. Thankyou for an unbelievable experience

The Old Parlour is just perfect!

Thank you Andrew

This was our 3rd visit to Andrews beautiful property which says it all.

Well located halfway between North and South Devon you can visit those areas easily most within 90 minutes. The property is excellent, huge and well furnished. The grounds excellent for dogs and people alike. Well thought out and extensive. All you hear are the occasional train and sheep. Ideal for recharging batteries. Top tips for visits include Cockington village, Brixham, Fremington Quay and Dartmoor. Local National Trust places nearby. Great fish and chips at Graylings in Okehampton can order online and get 10% discount for first order but you do have to collect ( about 20 minutes away) Would rebook here in a heartbeat

Had a wonderful week at The Old Parlour - the best cottage we have ever stayed in!

Loved the beautiful surroundings & being able to wander the extensive gardens - so peaceful to hear nothing but birdsong. The cottage is clean, comfortable and very well-equipped, having everything we could possibly need. Loved the big patio doors, which let in so much light and that everything was on the ground floor, with extra space upstairs if needed. Large shower room & effective shower. Smart TV so you can use your own streaming services, and two comfortable sofas. Pub serving good food about 10 minutes walk away. Central location within easy reach of lots of great places to visit. Only minor niggle was the poor lighting in the bedroom, but we had a wonderful holiday & highly recommend this cottage! Thank you so much, Andrew.

One word amazing

Cannot fault anything at all, absolutely beautiful location and the old parlour is fabulous.

Andrew very helpful and on hand if we needed him. If your undecided about staying here don’t be, book it you won’t be disappointed.

We had a wonderful holiday, the Old Parlour was amazing , Andrew the owner was such a lovely man , his dog came to greet us , the Parlour was immaculate, everything was provided , beds are so comfortable all funishings are top quality and the views were amazing, we were really sad to leave .

Would just like to say thank you Andrew for making our holiday a memorable one . Carol ,Martin and family .

Fantastic property equipped with everything we needed and more.

It was even more beautiful outside and inside than the pictures on the site. And the gardens were extensive and absolutely gorgeous. We travelled with a dog, and felt he was very welcome by both the owner and his lovely dog - as were we. This property exceeded our expectations on all fronts - we would definitely want to stay again next time we’re in that area.

The property is beautiful and in a quiet and peaceful location, it is very comfortable and everything we needed was provided.

The gardens are absolutely stunning and extensive and were lovely to walk round with our dogs. Andrew the owner was very welcoming and helpful and his dog Lombok is very friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return in future.

We had a lovely stay at The Old Parlour.

Would recommend to anyone thinking of going.

Very comfortable and well-maintained property with hospitable and helpful hosts.

A perfect retreat for an enjoyable and relaxing break.

Me and my girls (dogs) had a wonderful time staying here, the gardens are amazing.

The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped, the pub down the road does really nice food. I would recommend a visit to abbeyford woods just down the road and also Simmons park in okehampton.

can only review this from the perspective 2 adults and 1 dog, not the full complement of holiday makers.

This property is top class for a relaxing holiday. We found every thing we needed was of excellent quality. The garden is a special feature of this property, if you like to wander and enjoy nature with your dog in complete safety, this you can do with the help of the owners dog. Well done Andrew.

One of the best cottages we have visited, in a fantastic garden setting.

The area has plenty to offer for people to explore.

A lovely place to stay, perfect for a relaxing break.

Wonderful gardens, like having a mini Wisley just on your doorstep. Andrew, Gillian and the wonderful Lombok are great hosts. Can't rate it highly enough.

A lovely property and a warm welcome on arrival from the property owner.

We enjoyed our stay. 2 areas which could have been improved included. 1. On day 3 we woke to find a stream of ants running across the living room to the kitchen, some ants on kitchen work surface which wed wiped down the night before and despite using the outside bins for food waste or recycling etc. 2. On calling the property owner ahead of our arrival I was disappointed by the phone reception from a family member landline. When I explained the reason for my call advised by Sykes re arrangements for key collection. I was told rather dismissively 'it was pretty obvious. The key would be in the door'. Shortly after, I did get a call back from the property owner who was far more welcoming. Whilst we enjoyed our stay, the phone interaction with the family member meant if we were to recommend the property to others we would advise not using the landline number.

Beautiful, well equipped cottage with lovely views over the gardens.

Regret I got the short straw as to the weather, but still a very relaxing week with a good book. Would suggest to future visitors, if you do decide to walk to the splendid village pub in the winter evenings - The New Inn, take a torch!

Lovely cottage for the two of us plus our dog.

Very clean and comfortable with a well equipped kitchen for all of your needs. What a garden! Has to be seen to be believed. We were lucky enough to have a week of lovely weather and a walk around the “estate” every morning and evening was a must.

Had a lovely break.

The Old parlour was beautiful and the grounds were amazing. The dog and girls loved being able to run around in the grounds at their free will.

Beautiful property with superb views of gardens.

Comfortable beds. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic property in a fantastic setting.

The garden beyond the immediate lawns is extensive and filled with interesting sub-gardens to sit and chat. So peaceful. Very accessible compared with similar homes. The owner was very attentive and responsive to our requirements. His dog, Lombok, was fun to watch and never an intrusion. A great, relaxing stay !

We had a comfortable stay at this lovely cottage, with everything we needed, the cottage was spacious upstairs and down and the garden was huge and well looked after.

The large patio doors gave good light to the property. We were met by the resident dog Lombok who is very friendly. The flowers were a nice gesture too. We did not have the weather on our side, but this did not spoil our holiday thanks to the comfort of the Old Parlour. Thank you to Andrew and all at the 'Old Parlour' We would definitely love to come back here again in the future.

Thanks Andrew for another lovely relaxing time.

The garden is looking fabulous and you get the rain you wanted for it .Overnight of course. Lovely place with everything you will need .

Second visit to this lovely property.

Peace, tranquility, huge grounds for us and our dog Mabel. We could just open the doors in the morning and she could roam with no risk. A lovely property with everything you need. Andrew and his family look after everyone so well but not intrusively. If you want to recharge your personal batteries then come here and go home refreshed. Will be back

the old parlour was as advertised light airy clean comfortable which is perhaps all you need on holiday .

.. but... this holiday home has a special extra ... the garden,the view of which is 'framed' from the inside of the old parlour (big glass sliding doors can also 'bring the outside in')so whatever the weather you have a great view (priceless)...exploring the garden is great ...lots to discover.... you can do a different walk everyday... Andrew... approachable pleasant and happy to help if needed... the owner was about in the garden most days (must be impossible to have the standard and size of garden without daily work on it). Andrews dog lombot was brill, typical collie says hello and checks your ok then hes off. Out and about we liked okehampton, as it felt welcoming and people friendly also enjoyed dartmoor national park, especially how the sheep looked after their lambs when in or crossing the road (took a few videos)

The property is unique!

Definitely got the WOW factor. Very clean and spacious! Kitchen well equipped, shower powerful and quality soft towels and I loved the loo roll - if you’ve stayed you’ll know what I mean! Gardens are immaculate and the grounds are a just as big as on the photo’s! We had some lovely walks in the sunshine! Host Andrew is friendly but not intrusive, gave us a quick tour of the cottage and is usually out and about in the garden. Lombod the collie usually came over for a tickle if we were outside and got on great with our two dogs. Had a couple of lunches in New Inn in the village great food and warm and welcoming owners. The Old Parlour was peaceful, relaxing and we certainly came fully re-charged! Look forward to staying again hopefully see the garden in full bloom! Thanks for a lovely week! Carolyn, Malcolm, Chewbacca & Bertie

Property was in a very high standard and all equipment was all that you required.

Highly satisfied with every thing.

Wow what an amazing property and superb garden all in an area with so much to offer.

We had a fabulous weeks holiday despite the awful weather. Just means we'll have to stay again!

It's a lovely place to stay if you want some peace for a while; just perfect.

..

Wow what an amazing place to stay great accomodation fantastic garden so clean and laid out met all our needs .

Our dog loved the garden loved going into the maze with the hubster following and getting stuck all good fun. We had a couple of small problems but Andrew was there to sort them out immediatly. A brilliant location for all the touristy attractions but quiet enough to chill out in. Would defo recommend and would love to go back but not next year its all booked up for the time we wanted.

This was one of the best holiday accommodations we have stayed at.

In fact I would put it at the top of the list! It was everything you could ask for in comfort but what made it exceptional for me was the fantastic view looking through the sliding doors to the acres of landscaped garden, so even on a rainy day it was the most relaxing of places to be if you decided to give going out a miss.

Great week away, the owner is very helpful.

The gardens are amazing and the location is peaceful and quiet.

An attractive, spacious and well equipped property set in glorious countryside within an attractive village.

The vast gardens are stunning and you have total access to them. Andrew is an excellent host ably assisted by his fabulous dog!

A bright, airy and well appointed conversation with everything you need for a week away from home.

Set in expansive and picturesque gardens, an ideal space for relaxing or exploring Devon. Andrew, the owner, was welcoming and lived across the farm yard, he was approachable and could advise on places to places to visit but was by no means intrusive. The welcome shortbread biscuits were a kind and appreciated gesture and Lombok, the farm dog, friendly and very well trained. The conversation is finished to a high standard, my only issue is that mattress was very soft, however I know this is personal preference (and just me being pernickety.) Thank you for a lovely stay, you have a beautiful home and gardens to be proud of!

A very well appointed cottage, with everything we needed.

The extensive gardens were absolutely lovely. The owner (Andrew) was very friendly and helpful. There was a very friendly Colly dog.

The welcome on arrival was very friendly.

The accommodation was of a good standard, but felt the bathroom could have been of a higher standard. The gardens were SUPERB and there were no restrictions for walking around. If there was a criticism it would be the arrival time being 3.00pm, as other places tend to be 2.00. Also the departure time being 9.00am was very early .

This is a superb property with an extensive and beautiful garden.

The owner and family also live on site but were away for most of our stay. If you are staying with your dog be aware the owner has a large, but friendly border collie (?) that runs free and sometimes also a Jack Russel is there. You never know when they will appear.Our cockerpoo is young and still learning to socialise, so our stay would have been quite stressful had the owners dog been on site all week. As long as you bear the dog matter in mind you will not regret choosing this property.

We enjoyed our stay and found the living space and beds comfortable.

The gardens are remarkable and we appreciated such easy access to them - the photos don’t do the property justice and really should be updated. On the downside the kitchen and particularly the bathroom are overdue for an update. There’s no way of drying clothes or bathroom towels inside if needed so there should be a tumble dryer and heated towel rail installed as basic.

First class.

Garden fantastic.

What a wonderful find.

We booked this lovely cottage with Mabel our dog in mind. Very dog friendly indeed. Acres and Acres of gardens for her to play, run, jump. The resident collie Lombok was quickly her partner in crime and they spent many happy hours together. 5 stars for facilities, just as described. We wanted for nothing. The owner Andrew greeted us on arrival and went out of his way to make our stay a great one. Totally silent just outside a small village but Okehampton just 15 minutes away for shops, cafes, bars etc. Very convenient for North Devon beaches (Saunton our favourite) and South Devon resorts such as Brixham or Dartmouth. Wi-Fi excellent and comfy sofas etc. Huge bathroom with wet room style shower. I could go on and on. Book it now

We had a wonderful relaxing week at the Old Parlour and Andrew (owner) was the perfect host.

The property is just perfect and we'll be back again next year.

A return visit to this cottage, for us.

Great accommodation, very comfortable, light ,airy and spacious . Ideal for dog owners. Amazing gardens. Simply stunning. We love it here. Owner is very friendly and helpful. My only suggestion would be a bigger fridge freezer ( as current freezer is very small) which could perhaps be situated where the broom cupboard is?

The cottage is amazing and has everything you could need for a home away from home.

The quality of finish is exceptional and the small touches make it extra special. The gardens are incredible. Thank you Andrew for making our week special.

The Old Parlour is a beautiful holiday home with stunning outside space.

It has been furnished to a very high standard with comfortable sofas and beds, a kitchen with all mod-cons and a fabulous shower room. The location is perfect for exploring both the North and South coasts and ideal for Dartmoor. Even though the owners’ residence is next door, we hardly saw them but it was good to know they were close if we needed anything (which we didn’t). Andrew did inform us when there was some gardening work going on outside our property one day which we appreciated even though it didn’t affect us. This is the one of the most comfortable holiday homes we have stayed in. Based on the photos we had high expectations and we were not disappointed. I would have not hesitation in recommending it.

The owners house was a little too close to the cottage .

Not a major problem but also does not offer total privacy . Also, because of the the owners work in the garden much of the day there was always a feeling somebody was around . Having said that the gardens were a delight and the cottage was superb .

Property was excellent and finished to a good standard.

Welcoming owner, who lives adjacent to The Milk Parlour. Gardens are an absolute joy, a bonus and a pleasure to enjoy with excellent space for dogs to roam safely. Ideal base and comfortable safe haven to explore Nth Dartmoor and local tourist attractions and beauty spots. Would definitely book here again. Have used Helpful Holidays numerous times over the past 25 - 30 years and appreciate that current times are difficult and different. However, e mail messages and text messages pinging on my mobile at 1.00am in the morning ( numerous times! ) from the middle of our week onwards reminding us how we should leave the property before we depart at 0900hrs on our last morning we found at best distasteful, distracting and annoying, especially given the stupid times they were consistently sent. Would recommend turning mobile on silent at night from middle of anyone's holidays onwards and assume this is a reflection on changes since being owned by Sykes Cottages? Might make us consider using again as never experienced this approach in all the years of previously using Helpful Holidays and never had any issues with the condition we have left properties in on departure previously.

The hosts were very friendly and helpful.

The garden was beautiful, exceeded our expectations. Easy access to most of it. The property was beautiful . Wonderful views out of the large glazed back doors. Very nice furniture. Comfortable beds. Our only problem was only one toilet which was in the lovely wet room. We did know this from the description but it did prove quite difficult with very elderly father who can spend long time in three. We had a wonderful break overall and despite weather. Millie the dog loved it.

The cottage was superb, it had everything quality furniture, bedroom was excellent, shower room was brilliant.

As for the garden it was fantastic and as a bonus the weather was beautiful.

The Old Parlour is an absolutely immaculate venue, beautifully presented .

In an idyllic location. The garden is stunning and the hosts very welcoming . A true gem of a property .

Fantastic place for our family break in Devon.

The house had everything we needed, our kids loved the space. Beautiful gardens and helpful and friendly hosts. We will return.

This was a really special cottage the gardens and outside space are spectacular- just what we needed after months of lockdown and homeschooling!

Everything we needed plenty of space, kitchen well equipped, privacy, clean and very comfortable- great base for exploring Devon. Host very friendly and Would recommend to others and would return.

everything was perfect, lovely cottage and beautiful grounds.

would recommend this holiday cottage and we have already booked for next year.

From start to finish we were made to feel that it was our home for the week.

It was stunning being part of the glorious acres of beautiful gardens. Spot loved the freedom and we loved everything. The wet room was ideal and the bed downstairs so comfortable. Never tired of the view and perfectly relaxed. Thank you x

This is an amazing property set in the most beautiful of grounds, everything was as described with probably an undersell on the owners hospitality and the amazing grounds he has created around the cottage.

Our daughter loved the gardens not just the space but the different varieties and couldn’t get enough of the fresh plums. This was also perfect for our dog who made a friend for life with the owner but also it was perfect in terms of space and how safe it was, she wasn’t on the lead once all week. We will certainly return and as someone that has stayed in numerous holiday lets this is by far the best I have stayed in and we will certainly return.

The access to the owner's amazing garden was a real privilege - it was like spending a week in the garden of a stately home, but seemingly for our private use only.

Owner very friendly, helpful and insisted we partake of his courgettes and plums!

The Old Parlour was a fantastic base to explore Devon and Cornwall, it was clean, spacious and comfortable.

The cottage was lovely and surprisingly spacious.

The pictures on the website didnt really show how much space there was on the upstairs gallery or how large the wetroom was. It was clean and very functional especially if you are taking a dog. The beds and settees were very comfortable. The cottage was furnished to a high standard. The gardens were amazing and it was lovely to wander through them. The owner was friendly and helpful but not intrusive. The village pub is within walkable distance and serves good food and is very dog friendly. The village of Sampford Courtenay has an interesting history . There is much to see and do in the area. We really enjoyed our holiday here.

This place is simply amazing as you stay in a very modern facility surrounded by such history and fantastic gardens.

Getting lost on roads around here can actually be fun as you discover some areas you generally cannot see from ground level anyway; however, just stay on property and “lose” yourself in the gardens. If you fancy cats, then the farm cat will certainly be to your satisfaction. The local pubs are in close proximity and offer very good food, service and spirits or beers/ales.

We really enjoyed the whole experience.

The gardens are a joy. Owners friendly and welcoming. Their cat was a regular visitor she really enjoys milk and sliced turkey.

This property is an absolute gem, set in 5 acres of landscaped gardens which are evolving.

So peaceful, good excuse to recharge in a lovely rural part of Devon. It was appointed to an extremely high standard and has everything you'd ever need. We'll be booking again in the future.

The cottage with surrounding gardens are amazing.

The only thing that was slightly annoying is that work is still being done on the gardens by the owner at weekends, and occasionally this was a bit invasive of our privacy. But would definitely recommend the cottage.

Fabulous cottage, couldn't have asked for more.

Kitchen well equipped, lounge layout very good, lovely dinning table and chairs with great views and incredibly comfortable beds. Gardens lovely and a special mention for the directions which can often be poor - these were spot in in very way from the M5 onwards - well done.

The day we arrived 15th Sept, the owners mother came to show us round, and said that the previous tenants had been experiencing problems during the holiday with the hot water and heating going off .

We had No Heating at all during the holiday!!! and the hot water was constantly tripping off , we had to go outside to the far end of the building into a barn to try and get the gas boiler to restart !! this was not very nice when in the middle of a shower !! also when it went off at night we had to get a torch to find our way to try and restart it ,we went to inform the owners mother and she did eventually get someone out , i had to show him where the boiler was etc , they didnt repair during our holiday ! We managed to find a very small electric fire and an extension lead so we could have a small amount of heat at least . This totally spoilt our holiday , i am 74 and my wife is 72 , i feel the cold badly due to medication following a heart operation some years ago ,

Lovely property.

The boiler had broken and we did not have enough heat. Once the owners were fully aware of the situation,they provided us with plug in heaters,which helped.

Property as described and surpassed expectations.

Communication good and questions raised were answered in a timely manner. Really enjoyed our holiday and will use your site again for future bookings. Many thanks.

We've stayed at many holiday cottages, but the Old Parlour is the first time we've honestly been able to say you can get lost in its garden - a wonderful discovery!
