"Meadow View was perfect for our holiday!"
Modern, attractive and spotlessly clean. Fully equipped with everything you would need for a relaxing and stress free break. Beautifully furnished to a high quality. I loved the chair with a view from the bedroom window. Stunning meadowland views and beyond to open countryside at the front of the property and private, enclosed courtyard to the rear. Meadow View is in a beautiful and peaceful location just outside Modbury; the perfect area for visiting beaches, local towns and tourist attractions. Our hosts Phil and Anne were so lovely; friendly and helpful. We throughly enjoyed our stay at Meadow View, we have no problem recommending it and we will definitely be looking to stay there again in the future. 5 stars from us ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Fabulous stay at Meadow View."
Beautiful cottage clean, spacious and attractively furnished with everything we could possibly need for a great stay.
We slept well and enjoyed waking up to the sight of the stunning Dartmoor hills the property overlooked and visiting deer. Phil and Ann our hosts, were very friendly and on hand if needed but otherwise unobtrusive.
South Devon has a wealth of gorgeous places to visit, our favourites were -
Dartmouth where we had a great River Cruise on a steamer and explored the shops;
South and North Sands and Salcombe- slightly scary drive down to coast, very narrow roads but you do get used to it!! Sea Tractor ride at South Sands and rock-pooling at North.
We walked from North Sands to Salcombe town - about 15 minutes - (take change for car park at North Sands - very patchy signal);
We took foot passenger ferry from Salcombe (after crabbing with the grandchildren who stayed nearby!) across to Portlemouth to the most beautiful Sandy beaches;
Blackpool Sands (it is stones not sand, you’ll need sea-shoes) but great place for water sports;
We also ventured to Cornwall’s Eden Project at about 1hour 15mins as we wouldn’t be that close again - great day out for all;
Steam train ride from Totnes to Buckfastleigh and return - 120 year old train! Lovely knowledgeable volunteers - beautiful short trip to edge of Dartmoor. On return easy walk (albeit uphill) to Totnes Castle and some very nice shops.
We walked our legs off, weather was kind and had a lovely very memorable week - thank you Phil and Ann and beautiful South Devon

"Clean, comfortable, well-equipped, spacious for two, wonderfully situated and owned by a couple, Ann and Phil, who really do care that you have a good stay."
Outdoor seating in a private courtyard and at the front of the property. Set in rural Devon and also quite close to the coast there is plenty of good walking and Modbury, Kingsbridge and Dartmouth are all worth a visit. The National Trust is represented at Greenacres (Agatha Christie's home) and Coleton Fishacre (our favourite NT garden) and there are two well run steam railways in the area so plenty to do and see. Super cottage in a super location, that's why we keep going back.

"The apartment was spacious, warm and comfortable."
Just what we needed for a November stay.
On the negative side, whilst the property was reasonably clean I Saw no evidence of the deep cleaning expected to mitigate the risks of covid. Also I discovered that the property had a "good housekeeping" bond of £200. What's that about? Are they not insured? Furthermore I discovered this after I had made and paid for the booking and I did not give my permission (explicit or implicit) for Sykes cottages to retain my card details or to take any further payments.
In fairness to Sykes Cottages, the property was managed by another company, Coast and Country who were somewhat heavy handed.

The accommodation was spotless on arrival with tea bags and milk for a cup of tea after a long drive. The bedroom is very spacious with a wonderful view towards Dartmoor. Downstairs an open plan living area which is comfortable. Outside there’s a court yard area to sit or by the front door a table and chairs, which has a lovely view.
The only improvement I’d like is a dishwasher in place of the washing machine but maybe that’s just me and only a small negative.

Comfortable furnishings and very much like the on line photos. Only disappointment was outside seating as it was an internal courtyard so no views. There were a few thing missing from the kitchen that I would normally expect like oven gloves, kitchen scissors but having said that if I went again I would take those.
All in all a comfortable base for exploring South Hams which is truly beautiful scenery. Photo view from bedroom towards Dartmoor.

"The cotages was cleaned to a reasonable standard and warm."
The bedroom was comfortable with good storage. I was concerned that the window in the bed room at floor hight had no safety bars so a confused person sleep waker visiting child could fall out. !!!!! This dose not complie with current building regulations.
The storage down stairs was so limited , sweeping brush and seat cushions for out side left in the kitchen/ living room. Some form of clothes dryer for wet days would have been helpful, better still a washer dryer.
Those improvements made would make it into a very good holiday let.
The owners visited and seemed helpful.
