What our customers say about their holidays

  Having read the reviews, some of which had some crital comments, we went with an open mind.

  ..well, we found 99% of these to be unfair... the cottage was lovely to look at, very clean inside and out, a very adequate fitted kitchen, a lovely large bathroom with a large shower cubicle ( although not a power shower) it still works very well. The lounge was large enough for us two & our dog. Then upstairs has a dressing room & a lovely large bedroom with an extremely comfy bed. The enclosed garden to the rear was perfect for us. Along with a parking area. Comments made regarding no where to walk your dog... rubbish, we found atleast four walks that were perfectly safe.. one of which was around 30 mins circular woodland walk... they are there if you look. We had a fantastic week's stay and was sad to have to go home..the cottage was perfect ... in an ideal location for us, at a great price. Will we be going back? Absolutely ! Thank you.

  Very clever and comfortable fit out of the shepherd's hut , providing a relaxing experience, enhanced by the lovely pale green decor.

  The bed was extremely comfortable and easy to convert from the table. The shower and bathroom were perfectly adequate and immaculately presented. Our only criticism of this area is :- a couple of inches more width ( or reduce the size of the under basin cabinet ) would have made it easier for a larger person to use the toilet. The hot tub was fantastic, but I was surprised how much wood was needed to bring it from 18c to 37c ( End of June ) however once hot it kept its temperature for 24 hours after the fire had gone out, and only needed a small fire to " top up " The only other improvement I would recommend is :- More comfortable exterior seating , perhaps a pair of recliners , or Adrionic style chairs with cushions, this would have enabled us to sit out in the evening and enjoy the lovely views and tranquility.

  We thought this was a well-appointed cottage very convenient to many places of interest.

  It was clean, comfortable and well equipped and we had a very pleasant stay. I was however surprised that there was no information/welcome pack. Considering that the cottage has no WiFi and rather poor network coverage I think it was particularly important to provide this. The cooker has an induction hob which I have only come across once before and they are not easy to operate if you are not familiar with them. We were actually locked out of it half way through cooking a meal and it took a while to locate a user manual. Also we managed to find a footpath over the fields to Ripley village and the nearest pub using our GPS (or you can take the permissive path via Whipley Bank Lane on the opposite side of the road), but it might have been helpful to have this sort of useful local info provided.

  7 Scarah Bank is a lovely stone terraced cottage.

  Very cosy, warm and welcoming. We shall return when possible. Had no problem with access at the rear..just have to be a little careful. The exit is also fine and you can see on coming traffic if you look a little beyond the first bend you can view the road for an adequate distance. The cottage itself was spotlessly clean. The garden safe for a dog at the back. Contents all adequate. The bathroom is downstairs and the lack of blinds or curtains in the kitchen was not a problem for us. Only point to be aware of was the next door neighbour called round to ask that the outside light at rear be turned off as it interfered with their stargazing. Same neighbour did kindly put out the bins however.

  A beautiful property but a few little tweaks required we believe.

  The oven is not fan assisted and the light does not work in it. It would be good to upgrade oven to fan assisted and the hob to induction. A TV downstairs would be nice so that you can enjoy the fire whilst watching TV. A nice idea would TV in the bedrooms as well to offer choice to guests. Label bins outside with what goes in which one as different areas have different bins for rubbish, recycling etc!! As an aside spelling in the information pack needs looking at as the property was ‘manged’ not managed and Barnstaple is written as Barnstable. Overall a lovely property and happy to return so our suggestions are just that to take it to the next level.
