"Enjoyed our stay at the cottage which was in a perfect position for us as we do a lot of walking and lots of options in the area without using the car."
Very friendly owner.
Cottage was good but a few comments . Extractor fan in bathroom very noisy which was a bit a pain when 4 of us in the cottage.
Rather lacking in basics just a few tea bags and salt and pepper - but I guess this is a Sykes cottage thing and perhaps we have been spoilt with the agency we usually book with in the welsh borders.
Thank you for your feedback. A powerful extractor fan had to be installed due to building regulations and the thick granite walls and distance to the chimney. The extractor fan isn't connected to the lights, there are two switches and the extractor fan has to be turned on separately. We apologise that there wasn't a full jar of teabags, this was an oversight. We are glad you enjoyed your stay at the cottage and the location

"Just returned from."
A lovely week staying at Parsonage Farm Cottage. The cottage is very clean and comfortable with all the amenities you need. Set in a beautiful peaceful location just a short walk from the River Yealm. The area is beautiful with stunning walks around Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo onto the South West Coastal Path. We would highly recommend Parsonage Farm Cottage for a comfortable cosy stay!

Carrie was very helpful telling us about a regatta that was happening and so we went down to see the fireworks.
Would stay again if the opportunity arose, we were there in connection with a family event.

"Lovely characterful cottage, well furnished with comfy beds and sofas, good shower and plenty of crockery / kitchen equipment."
Wide range of DVDs and books, and nice peaceful location. Short walk to the local pub which does decent food.
Downsides: fridge nowhere near big enough (it’s an under-counter fridge freezer, but the freezer takes up 1/3 of the space, leaving 2 small shelves and a salad drawer plus limited space in the door) and TV isn’t a smart TV.

"Tolles Ferienhaus für einen Familienurlaub."
Sehr sauber. Gut eingerichtet mit allem was man benötigt. Eigener PKW Stellplatz vorhanden. Sehr freundliche und liebevolle Vermieter. Ebenfalls fußläufig erreichbar ist ein schönes Cafe (5 min.) und ein kleiner Supermarkt (10 min.). Alles in allem waren wir sehr zufrieden mit dem Ferienhaus.
Thank you very much for your feedback, we're so pleased to know you had a good time. Translated (using Google) this reads as: "Great holiday home for a family holiday. Very clean. Well furnished with everything you need. Own car parking space available. Very friendly and loving landlord.

"The only drawback was that the fridge/freezer was relatively small, even for just a couple staying there."
A family of four would struggle to store more than a day's supply of food in the fridge. The whole kitchen corner is quite cramped but perfectly workable. But the owners are very helpful, the location is ideal for exploring the local area, and the other facilities very comfortable

"Parsonage Farm Cottage has a lot of plus points."
It is far enough away from the larger towns to feel secluded, but not isolated. Night times are dark, which is something I miss living in a town. Access is easy, none of those terrifying narrow Devon lanes. Newton Ferrers itself is beautiful and it was useful to have a Co-op and Pharmacy with walking distance. The cottage is big enough for four people not to feel on top of each other and the upside down accommodation make it feel quirky. It was also nice to see the period features such as the thick walls and exposed beams. On the down side, the one kitchen drawer is quite difficult to open and close. There were no baking trays apart from the grill tray. There is hardly any storage space for food in the kitchen and there are usually a few essentials in the kitchen cupboards and occasionally a pint of milk or a welcome pack is provided, but when we arrived there was teabags, pepper and some salt, but not in a salt shaker. It was disappointing not to be able to make a drink of coffee after our eight hour journey. Plus the extractor fan in the bathroom is very noisy which impacted our tv viewing in the evenings. All in all, I would recommend the property, but it could do with a few tweaks to make it better.

"Parsonage Farm Cottage was an excellent place to stay."
It was comfortable and cosy and in a very peaceful setting. All arrangements went smoothly and information provided in the cottage was helpful and accurate. We would recommend this cottage for people using public transport. There is a bus stop right outside and the village has very good shops (including a co-op, community shop and a chemist) which provided everything that we needed, and three excellent pubs within walking distance too. There were plenty of interesting walks in the local area which were easy to find using the OS map in the property. It was a lovely place to stay in November, but I am sure it is equally charming in the summer!

"I know Newton Ferrers well and I'm delighted to find a cottage so close to the village and all its very special features."
The cottage was lovely, in a very quiet and private setting, and with a lovely large shared garden that is great for dogs and children.
If I could have waved a magic wand I would have liked: a shelf within the shower enclosure for lotions and potions, and indeed one in the barhroom itself.More kitchen storage for food items would be nice, and better light over the table. (I wanted to do a bit of drawing and painting). And a picnic table in the garden area would be great - there is nowhere to sit except in the small gravelled courtyard. But otherwise its a lovely property in very desirable location for singles, couples,and families (its a real messing about in the river place !)
