“In one word: Quiet.”

Highly recommended for a relaxing getaway.

“We didn’t consider the property to be dog friendly as it is listed.”

The fence is a foot or so high in several areas and our spaniel was in all the other gardens every time we let him out. The main carpet is cream and it was hard to keep it clean with a wet dog running in and out as we had a lot of rain! Sadly there was no washing machine which we had not noticed in the listing so had to do a hand wash. The bathroom towels were old, thin and at the end of their day. Although you said bringing towels was an option, it would have been better to say you don’t provide towels, as we could easily have brought ours and would have done, had we known what to expect otherwise. The directions were not great and the Sat nav took us on a goose chase. The mileage and sign posting didn’t appear accurate in your directions. Otherwise we had a wonderful week. The cottage is very pretty in a fabulous spot, as long as you can find it! The area is stunning. The above is to help others, so as not to experience our minor frustrations!!!! Thank you for a great week.

“Lovely warm and cosyy cottage nice location had a few power cuts overall very nice but television could do with being a bit bigger.”

- Mrs Healy, November 2019
“Lovely cottage, despite the weather.”

Set in a small complex of other cottages in beautiful surroundings. Kitchen area was a little on the small side, but overall quite comfortable. Ideally situated for visiting Most of North Devon and North Cornwall. Would love to go again.

“Beatuiful cottage and location”

Having spent a lovely week in this cottage we have already booked for next year! The cottage is situated out of town giving beautiful views and surroundings, but only a few miles away is the local village with pub, convenience store and Fish and Chip shop and nearest beach only 4 miles away. The cottage itself is well equipped, spacious and beautifully furnished to give a real Devon Cottage feel. Hugo, our dog loved running round the garden and going on walks to the ponds just the other side of the garden.

“Beautiful. Was in a green bubble of tranquillity and calmness.”

Ideal location where I didn't have to speak to any humans!!

- Mr Dunster, August 2019
“The cottage was in a complex of a several other cottages which I don't feel was advertised clearly.”

However, it was extremely quiet even with most of the other cottages being occupied. The cottage was very cosy, but some of the kitchen small electrical goods need replacing. In fact, on our second day there on trying to use the microwave we realised it was broken. We phoned the number of the housekeeper as instructed in the cottage details only to find their inbox full so we weren't able to leave a message. We left a text message, which very disappointingly wasn't answered for our stay. Managed to get hold of the housekeeper on the morning of our departure, who apologised and said she would get the microwave swapped out. Not so useful for us! The vacuum cleaner definitely needs an upgrade, had to use it twice following visits to the beach, but had to open front and back doors to do so, because of the overpowering smell of dog. Realise it's a dog friendly cottage but changing the vacuum bags more frequently would be a good idea. The cottage is brilliantly placed for visitinf beaches and family attractions, views from the garden are wonderful. The peace and quiet very relaxing. Correcting the above small problems and would highly recommend.

“Wonderful holiday in a beautiful, cosy cottage, with everything you could possibly need.”

Communication with Sykes and owner was excellent. We will be going back : )

- Mrs Harding, July 2019
“No the cottage was the nicest place and location we have ever stayed in and we wouldn't hesitate to book a holiday with you again ☺.”

- Mr Price, May 2019
“Very satisfied.”

- Mr Farrow, April 2019
“Lovely cottage, plenty of space for a family of 4.”

The cottage is beautifully presented with lots of special touches from the owners making it very cosy and homely. The garden is great and looks out on to the peaceful countryside. Great location within reach of local towns of Bideford, Barnstaple and Bude and also within a 15-20 minute drive to a choice of many beaches. Great holiday.

- Mr Traczykowski, February 2019
“A beautiful cottage, the perfect retreat from day to day stress!”

We have had the pleasure of holidaying in Cedar Cottage twice now, firstly for a long weekend and then, enjoying it so much, for a week later in the year. The facilities and the equipment supplied is first class, making for a relaxed stress-free break. The rural location is both peaceful and relaxing, with delightful walks in the large grounds. Plus the sunsets are fabulous ! I can highly recommend this cottage.

“The description of enclosed garden isn’t correct as the garden isn’t enclosed.”

There is a small fence between the neighbours garden but not enough to keep dogs in or out. One of the reason we picked the cottage was the enclosed garden so it was a little disappointing. The cottage was lovely although the kitchen a little small. The setting is amazing and the area beautiful.

- Mrs Graham, October 2018
“Cosy Bright Cottage.”

Have just returned from a holiday at Cedar Cottage. As other reviewers have said, very spacious, lovely hot shower, comfy bed, and a great garden, with view, to enjoy a few drinks after a long day walking along the coastal path. Cream tea was greatly appreciated on arrival. However, unlike other reviews, Cottage could have been cleaner. Tried to vacuum place on arrival, but had to contact housekeeper, as hose was completely blocked! This may sound trivial, but, as a dog friendly Cottage, you want to keep it clean. But problem was quickly resolved. That aside, thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Small shop in Woolsery Village, be warned, very expensive. Good coastal walks, make use of the info in Cottage, two small fold up maps, were brilliant. Have never seen a more detailed and easy to use map! Would recommend this Cottage to anyone. Just a footnote. Why is it that you have a dog friendly place, with signs all around asking you to tidy/clean up after your dog, but no dog bins are provided? You are supposed to put all rubbish in Black sack. Would not want to do that, might make Cottage a bit smelly! This is not the only place we have noticed this. Don’t let this put you off, though..

“Perfect get away cottage in a beautiful location in Devon.”

I spent a lovely sunny weekend in May at this idyllic cottage with my husband. How lovely to arrive to cream tea for two and evening sunshine! The cottage was a perfect place to relax and unwind with lovely finishing touches to the interior décor. Having read through the local tourist information available at the cottage we decided to spend Saturday visiting Clovelly and we were enthralled! What a spectacular place with amazing views, a variety of places to eat and crab sandwiches to die for! We followed this with a glass of wine whilst watching the sun set over the grounds and garden, just perfect! Can't wait to return

“Beautiful”

Needed a weekend break with my friend and our daughters and couldn't have wished for a more idyllic cottage. The interior of the cottage is beautiful with all you could need for a holiday. The spiral staircase is quirky and adds to the beauty of the cottage. Even with four adults there was plenty of space for us all. As expected the weather in November was not brilliant but we managed some lovely walks around the cottage and a windy day in Bude. Then back to our lovely retreat for food, wine and board games. What a lovely way to spend our weekend and no WIFI meant plenty of conversation. Will definitely be going back soon. LOVELY.

“Cosy Cottage in beautiful rural location”

We visited Cedar Cottage in October and were immediately enchanted by both the location and warmth of the property. Everything you need has been thoughtfully provided. We were very cosy indeed on the colder October nights, on the comfy sofas with the fire on. We particularly enjoyed exploring the local area and found an amazing fish and chip shop nearby which was hugely popular and are looking forward to the opening of the newly restored pub in Woolsery. Hartland, Bude and Clovelly are within easy reach and Baggy Point was spectacular. We found the most delicious cream teas and beaches just made for picnicking. Cedar Cottage was the perfect base. The kitchen was perfectly equipped and the cream tea on arrival was extra special. The bedrooms were very comfortable and bathroom was clean and modern with a bath and powerful hot shower over. Cedar Cottage is exceptionally clean and the attention to detail is perfect and original. We particularly loved the map coasters of the area. We can’t wait to return in the Spring so we can sit out in the garden with a glass of wine and appreciate the beautiful views!

“Lovely peaceful location, close to facilities”

The cottage is set amongst several others in a lovely quiet location - but only 4 miles to the sea and a village nearby for a local shop and a chip shop. Cedar cottage is lovely, airy and nicely presented and a super relaxing place to chill out for a week. A cream tea was left for our arrival and all the facilities were spot on. I would definitely book again as all of my family loved the cottage.
