    Simon the owner was very friendly, checking to make sure we had everything we needed. A lot of care & attention has been given to every room. Very clean & comfortable, all immaculately furnished and the kitchen has everything you could want. I'm certainly going to miss cooking in it! Infact, I've taken home some furnishing ideas! It was great that the door in was downstairs & so muddy boots & rucksacks could be left there. Loved the fact there was also a utility room containing freezer & clothes washing facilities with washing liquid etc for our use, a lovely touch. Lovely walks are from the doorstep and places such as Canonteign Falls & Castle Drogo, both a must visit, a short drive away. Overall, this has to be the best accommodation we have had in the many years we have used Sykes & would definitely recommend.

    Beautifully designed living space for 4 people with so many stylish finishing touches. The main living space is flooded with light from the roof lights which also gave us a peek at the beautiful rural countryside surrounding us. Everything we needed for a self catering week was supplied and all top quality. My son's a keen cook and loved preparing meals for us every day

    The property itself was well furnished and very comfortable. Great location and we soon got used to the narrow lanes leading to the property. Would highly recommend, however, we would make the following comments: we found the stairs quite slippy (no shoes allowed upstairs) and our dog fell down a couple of times; maybe some grips could be fitted? Upon arrival I was worried regarding our dog and their beautiful new carpets upstairs; maybe provide an outside tap or water butt to help clean dog's feet? Also, we struggled getting off the drive (it was very wet with all the rain) as it's quite muddy and your turning onto a very narrow lane; maybe try and level the end of the drive? All these points are just my opinion and NOT critical. As already said, would highly recommend and would return ourselves. Thank you to the owners for messaging us about an item of clothing we left behind. Many thanks for a great stay.
