  Beautiful cottage in a gorgeous location.

  Big enough for a family of 4 plus a small dog. The washing machine and dryer were much appreciated in February, we were so muddy every day! The underfloor heating kept the cottage to a comfortable temperature and we used the log burner every night to get super-cosy and warm. The kitchen was well equipped and easy to keep clean and tidy, plenty of storage for food and drinks. Views are OUTSTANDING. The garden was plenty big enough and safe for our little dog to mooch, I can imagine it would be glorious to sit out there in the sunshine but unfortunately we weren't blessed with the weather! Beds are so comfortable, with feather/down duvets and pillows. Towels were soft and easy to wash part-way through our stay. Plenty of sockets to charge devices, most have USB slots too so you don't need to pack the adaptors. No shaver points in the bathrooms so we had to use an adaptor to charge our toothbrush. The location is lovely, just outside the tiny village of Dalwood where the pub is a must-visit. Good location to discover the surrounding towns, although the country lanes nearby have seen better days (bring a spare tyre!). Recommend a visit to Sidmouth, it's a lovely town and most shops are open out of season. We've been a few times and stopped at the Blue Ball pub on the way home.

  This property is absolutely amazing.

  Do not hesitate to book as you will not be disappointed. We stayed with our black lab for 4 days and the weather was perfect. He loved the enclosed garden and adjoining field so plenty of lovely walks. Waking up in the morning with the sun shining was a real plus. The living area and bedrooms all looked out onto garden and the rolling hill where the sheep and cows were grazing. We spent many hours sitting on garden furniture just enjoying the scenery and peace and quiet. We needed a well deserved break away and that was exactly what we got. The pictures do not do the views justice. The bed was extremely comfortable with crisp white sheets etc and perfect pillows. Millie was on hand if we needed anything and was most welcoming when we arrived. Nothing was too much trouble for her so Thank You Millie for your kindness. Can’t wait to return to this special place. Thanks again M&S and Shadow the black lab. July 2024

  Pit Close was comfortable, clean and so pleasant to stay in.

  The house was decorated for Xmas which was a lovely touch and we were left milk, mince pies and plenty of hot chocolates sachets, sugar, coffee and teabags which was a lovely touch. The property is spacious, warm with the underfloor heating and if you are looking for somewhere that is quiet and relaxing this is your place. The roads to get to the property are extremely narrow country lanes which were not a problem for us as we never came across any cars luckily, If you are staying here just make sure you are stocked up with food etc as the nearest supermarket is in Axminster which takes extra time due to the narrow country lanes. There is a shop in the nearby village, we never went there but I’m sure it will be good for supplies of bread, milk etc. I could not fault this property and cannot wait to book it again in the summer months to take advantage of the bifold doors and patio area and amazing views.

  Having spent quite a few years visiting this property, this year has been a little disheartening.

  The property is clean and tidy at eye level, we just felt certain areas were being overlooked. On arrival, we were unpacking fridge items and had to clean it again as there were areas of food remaining. Our pillows in the master bedroom had no pillow protectors on them, and the duvet cover was ripped. The rug also in our bedroom has been there for years and is in need of a clean or replacement. The en-suite shower is in need of new sealant, all just looked a little tired. I spoke with Sykes regarding access to the property as Warfleet road has been closed since the 11/3/24, due to the road collapsing, no one had been told about this problem, so you have to go the long way round to enter the potteries. There has also been a lot of works vehicle near the entrance, so be careful on exiting the car park. I have taken photos if the owner wishes to see them, I’m sure he’d appreciate some honest feedback.

  This was our second holiday at The Cosy Cowshed as it's a lovely place to stay.

  The location is peaceful with far reaching views from the large patio and plenty of parking for our 2 cars. The property is clean, modern and well equipped. There is a good size enclosed garden for a dog to run around in, but this is not totally escape proof due to gaps in the hedge and wire fencing that doesn't go tight to the ground. There was a strong smell of drains in one of the bathrooms and its adjoining bedroom. This isn't as noticeable if the roof windows are left open all the time, but as they are self closing when it rains, it's impossible to do that. The extractor fan has been removed in that bathroom for some reason so that doesn't help. An air freshener is definitely needed! The other comment I would like to make is about the 5 bar gate. It needs adjustment as it's awkward to open and close as its heavy to lift into place. I mentioned this last year but it's still the same!
