  Had a wonderful time at Syke Barn, not too far out from Barnstaple in a tranquil part of Devon.

  The barn was immaculate and furnished beautifully. Great countryside where you could see trees and hills around you. We even saw sheep outside our windows. Though it was cold and rainy outside there was enough to do inside for all ages. All types of games were available as well as space to play football and bat and ball. Lived the electric train set and Lego. The wifi really helped with the teenager's need to stay in touch with friends. The kitchen was well equipped we even cooked a roast one evening. The log fire was really cosy in the evening. The bedrooms were all reasonably sized and far enough apart that there was space for the 6 of us. Just be careful if you have a teenager they can use up the hot water! Glad it only happened once. We enjoyed trying out Alexa! to get the weather and listen to music. It was easy to get around with trips to Barnstaple, Woolacombe, Morton Hoe and Arlington Court. Tesco also delivered to the house which really helped. The owners were lovely and left us an amazing lemon cake. Definitely felt spoilt, they were on hand but left us to ourselves. Couldn't ask for more and catered for our different age range.

  The cottage was in pristine condition! It was beautifully decorated and furnished, very spacious, immaculately clean. The bed linen and towels were akin to a top 5 star hotel. The welcome hamper left by the owners was gorgeous and extremely generous. Eggs from their own hens were the best ever. The cottage was well heated, with lots of hot water, a dishwasher and a washing machine. The location was isolated and idyllic...only the tweet of birds and the occasional bleat of sheep to break the peace. We went walking over the owners fields, which are mostly left to pasture and are so lovely for walking. No complaints! And this from an EXTREMELY fussy traveller. I could easily make this place my home....if the kind owners would allow?

  Woodland Cottage, Romansleigh, North Devon 20-27th May A very beautifully furnished, comfortable and very peaceful delightful cottage, where you just want to linger and stay forever. It is very peaceful and the owners Elaine and Steve are delightful and very generous people who made us very welcome and were very helpful. The lake where we could sit and relax was a delight with fish and wildlife and lovely country views. Exmoor with its many delights of river walks, moor views and walks, coastal scenery and lovely villages with little restaurants and tearooms is just a drive away. We had a delightful week and would love to recommend this cottage and certainly look forward to returning again. T. and J. Hardy

  Such wonderful owners to begin with!

  A joyous welcome chat and many other chats afterwards, it makes a big difference and really made us feel more like visiting friends rather than host and customer! The garden is something else!- Its like having your own parkland to use. The property was comfortable in so many ways- we needed for nothing.In particular, i will rave about the beds the beds and bedding- absolutely top class!! Such gems are a rare find that I suppose I should keep to ourselves hoping that we may be able to get in again once everyone else discovers this absolute delight of a cottage. Thanks again Geoff & Carole- it was a privilige meeting you and enjoying your wonderful property.
