• "We had a lovely stay my wife & I."

  Wood cottage is clean & tidy. Clean comfortable bed. Shower stayed warm for both of our showers. Kitchen well equipped, would have liked a Pyrex dish for cooking Mac & cheese & a washing machine although there is a launderette down the road & it was cool dry weather so we didn’t need to wash anything. We enjoyed the use of the smart TV with iPlayer, Amazon prime & normal channels. The house was a bit chilly (October) at times but probably our reluctance to turn the electric heating on too long. There are some parking restrictions but we worked around them & got a weekly car park pass. Lynton & Lynmouth are great little towns with independent shops, bars, pubs & a couple of convenience shops. The walking from Wood cottage is excellent especially if you like hills, valleys, woods & coastline.

• "Lovely little cottage perfectly located for our first three walks along the South West Coast path."

  Plenty big enough for two couples. Clean and tidy with a shower that was hot and powerful enough to help ease tired muscles after a day walking.! Lynton is full of lovely shops and nice places to visit and eat, all within walking distance. Would recommend.

• "House beautifully decorated, very clean and very comfortable."

  Good location for Lynton town, nice restaurants, great walks. Only criticism is the outside space, looks much bigger on the website details. We had gorgeous weather but the garden furniture was all cobwebby and peeling paint, so we got black paint stuck to our clothes and legs when we sat out in the sun, really needs to be replaced.

• "Lovely stay in wood cottage central to all the places we wanted to visit, excellent and comfirrable facilities."

  We were a bit disappointed that there was no welcome pack, a few tea bags, coffee and some milk would have been appreciared after a 7 hoyr journey We enjoyed our stay and will book again David and lesley

  So pleased you enjoyed your stay, we try really hard to make it a nice place to be so it’s lovely to hear positive feedback. I’m very sorry there was no tea, coffee and milk for you, this has been an area of misunderstanding with us and the cleaning company but has now been resolved. Property Owner

  The property was fine and clean very cosy beds, The only thing I would suggest as we came late on Saturday there was a kettle in the kitchen but no teabags or coffee which I was expecting something for arrivals that’s the only thing you should improve

  Sorry Luan, these should have been in the property along with some biscuits or a bit of cake for your arrival, I’m not sure why there wasn’t, so I will follow this up. I hope you had a nice stay and the weather was kind to you! Property Owner

• "A lovely cottage, well decorated and furnished."

  However, the directions given were totally misleading, taking us up a lane that was incorrect, on the other side of the road, losing time in the rain. Much was missing: washing machine (though your automated instructions - for other cottages - had said to bring clothes washing soap), salad bowl, mixer, whisk, knife sharpener, saucers, jugs, soap in empty dispenser, blind at kitchen window, blind/curtain at front door. The main thing missing, despite your mention of the environment over electricity, was NO RECYCLING provision. This was disgraceful in a town where recycling exists (we saw the collectors) - only one bin for rubbish. The window in the front bedroom did not close properly. It was COLD and there were no heating facilities for wet clothes and the general storage heaters were difficult to control, despite instructions. No VACUUM CLEANER though you had said we should keep things well clean etc. So although the cottage is comfy, it is very basic and incomplete in essentials.

  We apologise you seem to have not enjoyed your stay at wood cottage, disappointing to hear when we work so hard to make it as comfortable as possible. We have never had any feedback about incorrect directions so we will look into that and correct as needed. Mugs are provided therefore no saucers, there was a pirex jug however I noticed this has disappeared so I think it may have been broken by another guest, unfortunately we have no space for a washing machine or dishwasher without making the kitchen very cramped and so we have decided not to provide these and that is clear in our advert. Unfortunately for numerous reasons the recycling of which there are 4 different boxes/bags was just not working with majority of our guests and so we again took the reluctant decision to remove them. Although storage heaters cannot be covered with fabrics there is a clothes horse in the cupboard that can be placed near the heaters. Having been to the property last week all of the windows were working perfectly, they open in two different directions so maybe you hadn’t quite got it in the correct place. Once again we are sorry Wood cottage didn’t provide what you were looking for. Property Owner

• "Need to ensure heating and hot water are switched on before the arrival of guests."

  We had to call a local number to organise this. Need a wardrobe or two in the bedrooms, lack of storage space. Needs a dishwasher Certainly needs loads of extra lighting in the living room. Too dark to do anything in the daytime or evening lights off or on !!!!!

• "Comfortable cottage and very quiet, even though it’s on a thoroughfare."

  Bedrooms were bright and comfortable, though downstairs lounge is quite dark. Really good shower. It is well equipped but no cafetière if you drink coffee, so bring your own. You can sit outside but the view is of some garages, so not very scenic! All in all, we had a good stay and would recommend.

• "Everything great, all you need for a holiday."

  Good sized rooms, furnished well, clean, tidy and fresh. Great shower and plenty of hot water. Kitchen had plenty of pans, plates etc. Outside seating was nice and sunny. Parking outside the house from late pm to mid morning was absolutely fine, we did buy a parking permit for multiple car parks to make sure parking wasnt a problem. Great location for shops, beaches annd walks.

• "Property was overall as expected and nicely decorated."

  Generally quite clean but cutlery draw was dirty and dusty, as was much of the crockery and cutlery. Freezer draw needed defrosting and wouldn’t close. Description mentions coffee machine or coffee pods, I believe, which there wasn’t but I was quite surprised to find there wasn’t even a cafetière (first place I’ve stayed that doesn’t at least have that). The outside area is ok, possibly nicer in the full height of summer when the plant grows to conceal what’s around it - just be aware that it is in front of some old rusty garages and there is currently a full skip right next to it, so it wasn’t that pleasant. As others have mentioned, there is a lack of natural light in the living/dining area and it’s dark and the lighting is poor even in the daytime. It’s insufficient really. My father was quite comfortable in his room but we found our mattress and pillows to be dreadfully uncomfortable (hardly slept and had back ache which I’ve never had - clearly all very budget. It was a large contributor to us leaving a day early. Finally, we knew what to expect with the parking but just be aware that on a bank holiday/high season etc you would be lucky to get a parking space in the daytime, so it makes taking the car out difficult with no guarantee of being able to park when you get back. Lynton is lovely though so the area is highly recommended.

  We very much enjoyed our stay at Wood cottage and it was ideal for us as two friends doing the SW coastal path walk I would recommend adding a few extra kitchen items such as non stick frying pan better ice cube tray and some mixing bowls Also the bathroom extractor fan is very noisy and quieter models are available lighting for reading in the lounge is challenging as it’s mainly mood/ atmospheric lighting The instructions for recycling were not clear - only stated putting rubbish in the bin and be good to know collection dates Overall though a very nice place to stay
