  We have just had a fabulous week at Honeysuckle Cottage, one of the best cottages we have been to and how lucky we were to be the first couple to stay here.

  Everything was obviously pristine and new but the attention to detail with colour coordination and all the necessary equipment that was provided was excellent. A nice touch was the Devonshire cream tea provided for us on arrival, it lasted us three days and was very much appreciated. We were very comfortable in the cottage and felt very relaxed. The weather was good to us so we were able to sit out on the patio and take advantage of the pretty walled garden and distant views. The reviews for Rose Cottage which is next door all mentioned the narrow approach lane to the property. At first it was a bit daunting but there are a few passing places on the first stretch of the road and on the rest of the road there are potholes and it is quite bumpy but our car is just a small SUV and as long as you drive slowly and limit the number of journeys you make in the day you make to the cottage it was manageable Overall a very good stay and we would definitely recommend and come again

  We visited as a family of six in August.

  The cottage is beautiful with amazing grounds. The cottage was very clean and had everything you needed. It was also a great location and all the places we visited were around a half an hour drive. Mark and Alison were very welcoming and Mark took the time to show us around the farm and see all the animals. The girls loved the cows and the dogs, especially Buster and loved riding on the ride on tractors. The only criticism is the showers. There is an amazing wet room downstairs, however the shower doesn’t provide enough water, it was a struggle to get clean and my Aunty and Uncle had the same problem with the shower in their en-suite. There is nothing else I could fault about the property and if the showers were improved we would definitely return again. We all had an amazing stay. Thank you :)

  Due to our original holiday being cancelled less than 2 hours before we were due to arrive we where booked into Valley View instead.

  Given the short time we were really impressed with the cottage and even the little gifts on arrival. The cottage is beautiful with amazing views. We struggled with Wi-Fi signal being the last cottage however this didn't cause too much of a problem. It would be good to have a welcome pack that explained about the area, processes in the cottage regarding recycling as they are a lot different from where we live, what to do when leaving and where to park (parking maybe something that is explained when you book far in advance however with such short notice we were confused about where to leave our car). We also loved being able to say hello to the pigs every morning. A book would also be helpful so we could have written a thank you message.

  Unfortunately a beautiful home was spoilt by 2 cleaning and maintenance issues.

  We had an issue with dishwasher leaking when we used it. We thought that it may be due to a blocked filter. As I have dishwasher at home I knew how to clean the bottom filter , what I found when I lifted the internal filter out of the bottom of machine was something that in my opinion had never been cleaned all season or even longer. It took me ages to clean the filters. When we came to use the toaster for breakfast the crumb tray in the bottom also had not been cleaned as was full of old crumbs. These small things spoilt what was a perfect holiday. The location was ideal and the house was beautiful and we would not hesitate to holiday there again.

  We booked a family holiday at Honeysuckle Cottage during the last week of the summer holidays and it was perfect!

  The owners were incredibly helpful and accessible but also unobtrusive. The cottage itself was beautiful; stunning surroundings, peaceful, clean, comfortable, and well equipped. Being able to do washing and put it outside on a washing line was amazing as we didn't return home with loads of washing to do. We were also expecting very poor wifi due to the location but it worked perfectly and we very much enjoyed the unexpected bonus of the guest Netflix and Amazon Prime accounts. It was a great base for exploring all that North Devon has to offer and we highly recommend it.
