"This was a lovely little lodge, equipped with everything we needed."
Very clean and comfortable. Only problem was with the details we were given. We arrived late, in the dark with just the name of the lodge. Only problem with that is the map outside reception only had numbers, no names. This was very frustrating and we spent sometime wandering around looking for our accommodation. We were rescued by the friendly warden. Thanks for a lovely few days.

"From the photos it looked like a typical mass market holiday challet and we expected that it would be fine, clean and functional and perfectly adequate for a short break as a base to tour."
When we arrived the site strongly marketed it as a luxury holiday home for a disabled person. That changed our expectations and left us feeling utterly annoyed as it was basic, not that well maintained, pretty impracactical and not in any way luxury and not suitable for a person with a disability except that it was on one level. However, when I re read Sykes' property description on my return home, it was accurate and had only given 3 stars which was fair. It was very attractively set in a private dip in the wooded valley. We enjoyed sitting out in the evening, alhtough it was next to an unmaintained area of weeds and deteriorating decking and damaged steps up to the lodge. The beds were comfortable and the bedding clean and fresh, the fabrics were nice in the unit and it was nice to be able to order food if we wanted it. Other than that it was not great. The kitchen provision was very basic and minimal, with a low powered microwave, cracked ceramic hob, feeble extractor and all quite cramped, especially the dining room table. The toilet was not pleasant being directly off the living room and facing the door and the floor got dirtly easily and was not cleanable. There were insufficinet surfaces to put toiletries on or have contact lens or toothbrushing facilities on hand, few places for 3 people to hang wet towels and the fittings were a bit rusty. There was one bin and no provision for recycling in the cabin. We only found out that there was recycling as we were leaving by which point it was too late. The guest information was not that usefull it was more of a marketing pack for luxury accommodation. It would have been helpful to have a sweeping brush to get rid of the sand inevitably picked up from being on the beach. My daughter got a splinter from playing in the playground as child friendly bark had not been used and the windows of a cabin running along the path opened out onto the path a head height of my daughter and a risk for passers by to walk into. My husband mislaid his keys and asked reception to lock the cabin for us whilst we were away that day. They said they would but forgot and it was unlocked when we returned at the end of the day. We also did not have hot water one of the days. It was definatley not quality - basic equipment, small TV's, cheap fittings, neglected bathroom, no wi-fi except a the bar etc and not for a disabled person who having wheeled themselves in would have to navigate oddly shaped carpet edges then would not be able to reach the pegs to hang their coat, no seating to use the shower and good luck with the WC! - not the welcome I would want if I were a wheelchair user. These comments are only applicable to the owner though as Sykes do not say that it is luxury and do not say it is for a disabled person.

"Very satisfactory we enjoyed a nice holiday."
-
"Property is excellent."
Clean and very comfortable. It was perfect for the few days we stayed. Loved that it was ‘accessible’ and well laid out. There was a little welcome box which was is a nice touch. Site was very quiet and obviously well maintained. Allocated car parking is clear and useful. Not stayed in Combe Martin before. Quiet area but not really much in walking distance for us non hiker types. Tried three different pubs, all pleasant. But enjoyed ‘The Castle’ most. It felt like a proper pub. Overall, I’d stay again and would recommend.

"Nice and quiet good clean bungalow"
-
"Immaculately presented, everything I needed."
Only downside was the shower. It was very difficult to set it at a comfortable temperature and even then the temperature would at times fluctuate between too hot and too cold. The lodge could really do with an electric power shower.

"I actually stayed in Willow as it was nearer my car."
Everything about the site was good - an excellent dog walking field which I used twice a day, annd wonderful primroses and wild violets growing in the banks. A lovely sign of spring. All the staff were friendly and very helpful and accommodating. The lodge was perfect for my needs - well equipped, warm and comfortable. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

the property is a bit dark needed the lights on a lot. lack of wardrobe space in the single room.

"This property was as discribed everything you could want for your holiday."
My wife is disabled and can barely walk or stand and in the bathroom it had lots of room to push her into the bathroom in her wheelchair but there was nowhere to put your soap or flannel, shampoo etc, it needs some shelves fitting. the other thing was the springs have gone in the mattress everytime you turned over the springs went bong. It did not put us off getting a good nights sleep it was still comfy. Overall great Holiday.

"We had a wonderful week at Larchwood Lodge, it was immaculately presented and clean when we arrived and was in such a perfect location."
We would definately recommend it and we will be back!
