“Mounson cottage is in an idyllic situation and very peaceful and quiet.”

We had a lovely few days here and were lucky with the weather. Fresh flowers and milk were very welcome. However, in the details, it described the second bedroom as a twin but was only a single bed. Also, we could not find any information about bin collection day and had to work out for ourselves where to put the separate bags of rubbish. This could explain why one reviewer said they found rubbish on their arrival. Also beware the pot-holed road leading to the property. Otherwise a nice little ...

“Great little cottage that I would heartily recommend to anyone contemplating staying in this idyllic of settings.”

As the friendly cottage owner David remarked "I never tire of coming up here". I must say I most certainly concur, as the view from the living room bay window is quite outstanding. The facilities were all that we expected and more, and we were also gratified to find that things like hot water and heating came on automatically without any input required from us.

“No everything was just fine.”

- Mr Wall, April 2019
“The owner of the property was really helpful and considerate of us arriving safely and that all our needs were met.”

- Mr Irvin, April 2019
“A lovely little cosy cottage surrounded by countryside and yet in a convenient location.”

Enjoyed being so close to the sheep and it was dog friendly .Could be upgraded to such a super property but that would only push the price up and for the price we paid for a short break it suited us well (4 nights) There was a large amount of recycling and rubbish already left outside from the previous booking but this might have been due to the Christmas and New year break effecting local collections ,as we had to add ours to the existing pile I hope it will get collected soon before others arrive .Great log fire and superb views .On arriving we couldnt see the house name in the dark if it was placed on the side of the drive/road it could be picked up in the headlights and we wouldve found it more easily..It would help if the directions provided say it is opposite a farm giving the farm name The utility room itself is a good size and the small freezer could be moved into it allowing more room in the kitchenette, needs a decent clean but it was clean inside the house and the owner had kindly left flowers and fresh milk for us.Enjoyed our stay and would recommend Mounson Lodge. .

“Place could have done with Avery good clean stairs very sharp not enough hand rails”

- Mr Cullum, December 2018
“We wanted a complete chill out week, and that is exactly what this property offered.”

Quiet and peaceful. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mounson Lodge.

- Mrs Beevor, October 2018
“The views were perfect.”

The owner made us very welcome.

- Mrs Hutson, September 2018
“Lovely cottage with great views, enclosed garden, comfortable furnishings and good equipment.”

Ticks all the boxe for us. Second visit, won't be the last.

- Mr Jex, August 2018
“Very pleasant and comfortable cottage, with big garden which was ideal for us and our dog.”

Owner very helpful. Unfortunately we forgot to add to the visitors book, but our comments would be very positive.

- Mr Chamberlain, August 2018
“Lovely cottage in a wonderful location with an enclose garden allowing the dog to wander freely.”

Inside the cottage was comfortable with adequate equipment and the table in the bay widow was the bonus to be able to enjoy the view. The large equipped utility room was very useful and to arguably have the finest weather of the year made for a fabulous week.

- Mr Jex, June 2018
“This is a great cottage with a thoughtful and considerate owner.”

A well equipped cottage with fridge, freezer, washing machine, spin dryer, oven and grill, wifi. bath and shower and lots of helpful literature about the local area and Devon as a whole. The view from this cottage is accurately represented in the photographs shown on Sykes cottages and is stunning. Take your binoculars !!!! Lots of wildlife so bring bird food and nuts. We recommend this cottage without reservation.

- Mr Grey, June 2018
“A later departure time would be helpful.”

- Mrs Mcleod, May 2018
