“At a difficult time with so much uncertainty about Covid19 Hope Cottage and David and Sarah provided a small oasis of calm.”

Due to the epidemic we felt it only fair to cut our stay short and return home early so as not to risk placing an undue burden on our hosts or the community. This was no reflection on the excellent hospitality or the cosy warm facilities offered by Sarah and David. A beautiful nook in a peaceful valley which we will thoroughly recommend.

“Really warm and friendly welcome from the owners,the barn conversion was spotless and the location was beautiful.”

We will be back again next year.
Mr Strachan September 2019

“This place ticked all our boxes and a good few more we had not thought of.”

Immaculate accommodation with a picture window over the Devon countryside which made it as much fun to be at home as to visit the fantastic sites around. The hosts are welcoming but not intrusive and all in all this must be one of the best holiday homes we have ever booked.
Mrs Urquhart August 2019

“Lovely conversion in a beautiful and very peaceful setting.”

Our hosts were extremely welcoming and friendly. Sykes Cottages were very helping answering questions we had before booking and pleasant to deal with. Thank you.

“The owners were very helpful and asked if we needed any assistance on the area ...”

The owners were very helpful and asked if we needed any assistance on the area but gave us plenty of privacy which was appreciated
Mrs Hill June 2019

“Cottage in an ideal location for exploring the local area.”

Very friendly welcome by the owners. The sofas were a little saggy but everything else about the cottage was great.
Mr Hubbert June 2019

Hosts Sarah & David the most welcoming and helpful people one could hope to meet. Perfect holiday.

“Hope cottage was very nice, comfortable and peacful.”

However, it could be cleaner, whilst not dirty it obviously has not had a good clean in a long time. Cobwebs around chair legs, grime around the sink and cooker. Bathrooms again not dirty on the surface but a bit grubby when inspected carefully. The duvet cover in the bedroom I used also had a couple of stains on it. I also think the fact that it is down a very narrow lane with nearly 1/2 mile with no passing place should be made a bit clearer in the literature. Whilst we were fortunate to only meet an on coming car once it was a bit disconcerting hoping for a clear run in everytime returning to the cottage.
