  The house was lovely.

  But this is the first Sykes property l have not been fully pleased with. Overall it was clean but the windows are grubby, the toilet door in the main bathroom didn’t lock. The toilet seat was loose too. The hand shower in main bathroom hose covering coming off. Only one bed side table in bedroom with double bed. A shelf which is in an odd place was this to replace the bedside table? No proper measuring jug the one there no markings on or scales to weigh food with. No large tin to cook in. The oven sides keep filling off when you pull the tray out. The electric tripping out which l understand from the gardener happens due to changeover to another power station. The instructions to getting in garage not clear. Took us 20 min to find how to get in. Information folder not that informative. Have usually got info of attractions about where your staying and it’s places of interest. The church there is full of history well worth a visit like the little stall with fresh produce on. Have left leaflets of attractions in it for other people staying. The step for the trampoline turned up while we were there. I hope it has been put on. The garden is lovely to sit in of an evening and enjoy the sun going down. Some will say l am being picking but l have stayed in lovely maintained Sykes properties. This place needs a little TLC and l and my family would return.

  Woodpecker is in a great location with peaceful surroundings and a fantastic rural view. The short walk down and around the lake was a hit with the kids. We were met with sunshine, showers and heavy wind at some points (March), but that didn’t stop us from firing up the hot tub (allow plenty of time for this) and jumping in it when the wind had died down and the sun came out, perfect! The honesty shop is fabulous for recharging the lanterns supplied and picking up any additional fire lighting equipment, candles, not to mention the games, books and even a fridge with designated shelf for each tent. With it being a March booking, we made use of the winter blankets and hot water bottles (very thankful for these!), also thankful for the unlimited logs to keep the log burner topped up. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, washing up liquid, hand soap and even kitchen roll. The gas stove was very handy for cooking (as well as on top of the stove), and boiling the kettle. We were very impressed with the toilet flush, lots of power considering it was in the middle of a field and the showers were also sufficient. The site manager was very attentive and was on hand if and when needed. I would definitely recommend this holiday to others and would love to stay again. Thank you Glamping Hideaways!

If you are looking for solitude, beautiful walks in an amazing setting, wild ponies and deer herds on the walks, and some great local (usually 20-30 minutes through gorgeous countryside) pubs and restaurants for foodies, then a stay at Pip's amazingly restored cottage is the place. Nestled in the center of Exmoor Forest, it is a beautifully restored home with a great fireplace, stone floors, fine appointments throughout, and Pip at the ready in case you need advice or help. We had some awful weather for most days, but if you are British, then you're used to it, and it is such beautiful countryside, even an aging American loved it, although not as much as my family and our intrepid dog, Blaze. Pubs like the Black Venus a 15-minute drive away provide amazing locally sourced food, and when the sun pops out it's 30-45 minutes to great beaches.

  We had a lovely time in Simonsbath at the cottage. Its a good and comfortable base to then explore the local areas - and further a field - but you will need a car!

Its a good and comfortable base to then explore the local areas - and further a field - but you will need a car! The cottage is lovely and was the perfect place for us to relax and is very cool inside (very much appreciated as we stayed during the heatwave). There is free parking right outside the door and it is right opposite a very nice pub. There are country walks on the door step which have lovely views. We also took the opportunity to explore neighbouring villages as well as a drive to the coast - Lynton and Lymouth are about 25 mins drive and a beautiful sandy beach at Woolacombe is a 40min drive (there are other options closer but this is just what we decided to do). We were two couples aged between 30 - 40 (and a dog) who really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others!
