"Due to our circumstances, we had to ask for an early arrival and the friendly hosts kindly accepted."
The cottage is wonderful: Self-contained; overlooks open fields with the Upham fishing lakes in the distance setting off the beautiful Devon countryside. The field is occupied by a horse that is friendly and visits now and then. There are plenty of birds and rabbits play in the field at dusk. Beds are comfy and the rooms warm. All amenities are available and there is a large ‘smart’ TV in the living room as well as ‘smart’ TVs in the bedrooms. The hosts are wonderful and I would recommend this place.
Thank you so much for the extremely kind comments. Hope you settle in to your new home, look forward to seeing in east Devon.

"A warm welcome awaited us at Upham View."
The property and grounds are immaculate. Despite being in the owners' grounds the property is really secluded with an outside seating area overlooking the fields. The property was spacious containing everything required for our comfort. Directions given were clear and the property was easy to find. A welcome pack was provided by the owner which included a lovely bottle of wine. Thank you.

"One of my favourite stats with Sykes Cottages."
Such a calming beautiful location in stunning grounds to come back to each evening after a day’s sightseeing, and yet so conveniently placed for the city or any number of stunning coastal spots in East Devon.
The views from the patio area are lovely looking across the fields with plenty of opportunities for spotting birds and other wildlife.
The beds and sofa were comfortable (not always a given) and each bedroom had its own en-suite shower room.
Highly recommended.

"We were very happy with the overall quality of this cottage."
Kitchen and equipment all very good and a really good location for visiting the area. Heating was very effective and house warmed up quickly. The mattress was one of the most comfortable we have ever had in a holiday cottage, very good indeed. The current description does not reflect everything completely accurately. It is not possible to walk to Greendale farm shop as it is on a main road. Pub is walkable. Also description still says selection of books games and dvds which are not present presumably because of covid restrictions.
Thank you for your feedback. We were pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at Upham View. You are right the games etc were removed due to Covid. We look forward, hopefully to welcome you back.

We did enjoy the feeling of home from home that this property gave us. Lots of nice pubs, we especially like that after all this time in Lock down.
The Cat and Fiddle do a nice British home carvery about 2 miles from the property towards Exeter.
Loved the sheep and horse and the sky at night away from light pollution.

....but this has been a fantastic find. This is one of the most peaceful holidays we have ever had. The property is superb, the surroundings exquisite, it oozes quality and the owners are great people. The views across the fields and into the distant landscape are to not just see but to FEEL!! Access to 'the high life' (if you want it??) is easy, but it remains a secluded piece of our heaven.
