What our customers say about their holidays

  1. It's the hosts who "exceeded expectations" , not Sykes !

  The initial telephone contact was warm, friendly and informative; this was matched by the initial meeting and all contact thereafter. The Cottage came with a "starter pack" that included washing up liquid, toilet & kitchen rolls, salt n pepper & loadsa tea / coffee. Freeview tv a bonus. 2. We stupidly placed an item on the night storage heater, thereby staining it. They were so understanding and tactful even tho' they must have been seething with us. 3. The whole family enjoyed the break, especially the 2 x 12 year olds who made the most of the pool. 4. I was unwilling to spoil the ambience at the time, but the hosts might consider advising people staying in the place above The Cottage that every chair-scrape / footstep/ table move resonates down below ! Thoroughly recommend both the property and the owners who were unobtrusively there if needed.

  We both had an extremely pleasant stay.

  The location was lovely as were the local community, always met with friendly faces. We had an issue with the rubbish collection insomuch as the recycling material was not collected. It may be that clearer instructions are needed as the definition of "recyclable material" could vary from Council to Council. Prior to arrival it may help future guest if they were made aware of what domestic essentials they need to provide ie washing up liquid, toilet paper etc. We make this comment because our previous Skykes Cottage had this. We hope that these comments are taken as constructive as we had a thoroughly enjoyable stay and they are meant to assist not complain. The only reason we would not stay again is because we like to explore new places each time so it has no reflection on the beautiful Larksworthy Cottage. Thank you.

  Like Mary Poppins, Practically Perfect in Every Way!

  Exactly what we needed. Peaceful location, clean, tastefully furnished, comfortable, warm and cosy. Everything we could possibly have needed had been thought of. Our little boy loved all the books and board games too (a whole couple of boxes of goodies in his room!). Lovely big tv for movies on rainy days and a cosy logburner which heats the whole house! (We needed to turn central heating right down to be able to sleep!) Perfect for a family with 1 child - not sure the single room would suit an adult. Garden was also a bit small, which didn't matter at all in winter, and the most had been made of the space. Helpful owner who responded quickly to a query we had. Location was superb for accessing Dartmoor and lovely North Coast beaches were less than an hour away. We'll be back!

  Lovely cosy thatched cottage, great location.

  Superbly equipped and every eventuality has been anticipated and catered for. Even has a little garden to enjoy the weather and tranquility. Constructive criticism: the only things we can say are the main bedroom light switch is a bit loose. There are a few cobwebs on light fittings and behind things (e.g. stereo in lounge) and the double bed matress was a bit firm for us. The parking isn't ideal, but we understand not much can be done about it. None of these detracted from our enjoyment whatsoever. We would rate this property 97/100. If those very minor issues were resolved (parking aside) then it would be 100%!! If we are ever visiting that area again we wouldn't hesitate to re-book. Wonderful!

  Stunning cottage!

  ! Very well equiped especially the kitchen, I even did a roast! Really was a home from home. The beds were heavenly, like sleeping in a marshmallow, likewise the sofa was comfy and great for everyone to snuggle up together. Loads of books and dvds/cds to use. The mini hi-fi didn't work but we put the cds into the tv and they played. The log fire would be lovely on a cold winters night. Lots of leaflets and info about local places to visit, restaurants etc. Friendly village location. We visited Lydford gorge just 20 mins away, Okehampton, Exeter 1 hr and highly recommend Woolacombe beach, also an hrs drive. Would highly recommend this cottage to anyone and would love to stay again!
