“Tranquility, freedom, lovely farmyard setting, fabulous hosts, glorious countryside, blazing log fires, no light pollution, ease of parking.”

In short it was a perfect location for us to unwind and relax. A perfect location for visits to Lyme Regis, Beer, Seaton, Sidmouth and Budleigh Salterton. Loved it, we’ll go again next year all being well

“We all had a brilliant time, Jayne and family made us feel very at home!”

The cottage has absolutely everything you could ask for! The location is perfect to explore the beautiful Devon countryside. As well as being close to the coast and also some lovely towns for shopping etc. we will defiantly be returning!

“Lovely cottage in a beautiful peaceful location.”

It really was home from home with everything you need provided. Lovely welcome from the owners who are on hand if you need anything but leave you to enjoy your break, perfect balance. It was fabulous to be able to wander around the fields, we loved seeing the animals. The grass area in the garden is up a little spiral set of steps, worth being aware of if your dog struggles with stairs. Cant fault anything looking forward to a return visit soon.

“Excellent little cottage”

Just had a week's holiday here. Cottage is very good. The owner provided logs for the wood burner. Ideally situated for sidmouth, beer seaton and the donkey sanctuary. The owners were very helpful and welcoming. The site at night is so dark it's perfect if your into stargazing. The rooms are a very good size and clean. There is central heating in addition to the wood burner. The access lane is quite narrow but with lots of passing points. We would definitely recommend a stay here. It would be doggy heaven, lots of walks.

“The farm use a biomass boiler and as they both work they can only prime it 2 a day so if you come home early there may not be a lot of heat in property only what is retained in the building.”

This is fine but maybe logs and kindling should be outside the front door on a daily basis so that clients can light the wood burner and not be chilly. It was quite dusty where you wouldn’t clean everyday and if you were asthmatic etc it cld cause an issue. I understand that it is rural living but having enough lights to shave and put makeup on were lacking. We did have a lovely time and it was nice to chill away from work and busy life. And one last thing there was no WiFi which meant we spent money on data from our provider bit annoying. I understand that the owners are trying to sort it as I write this. These are smallish things and in no way spoilt our break but need to be said so that improvements can be made J Adlam

- Mr Adlam, October 2020

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are sorry some minor issues occurred during your stay but are grateful for you bringing them to the owners attention, giving them the opportunity to address them swiftly. Logs can be requested on arrival if wanted, as noted in the key collection details, but with winter approaching, perhaps some could be left available. It was regrettable BT were not able to fix the Wi-Fi before the end of your stay and the owners are currently having fibre optic installed to improve service going forward. Despite these things, we are glad you enjoyed your holiday and would love to welcome you back. Sykes owner relations

“A great place for a short break with our 2 Labradors!”

The farm is so lovely and spacious and, although there are animals all around it is very well designed for visiting dogs with secure fencing and walks direct from the door. The location was perfect for us to explore the Honiton and surrounding countryside & beaches - we were house hunting and it was in the perfect location for us and we received some tips on places to look at from the friendly, but respectfully distanced owners. An early morning walk up to Dumpton Hill directly from the cottage early in the morning was a real highlight. Stunning.

“The cottage was lovely and the surroundings were stunning.”

What made the holiday even more special though, was the owners of the cottage and their really nice children. They were so welcoming and hospitable, and we felt really at home there. We will definitely go back sometime.

About the location

HONITON

Ottery St Mary 6 miles; Lyme Regis 14.5 miles; Exeter 22 miles.

Honiton is a delightful market town in East Devon, with plenty to offer visitors. It lies in the valley of the River Otter and is surrounded by rolling Devon hills, green wooded valleys and plenty of scattered farming villages. Honiton has an attractive High Street stretching almost 2 miles, and lined with individually owned shops, pubs and restaurants. Honiton has been famous for lacemaking since the reign of Elizabeth I and still has a few lacemakers in work today - visitors can see some fine examples of antique lace in the town’s Allhallows Museum. Honiton boasts the only public art gallery in East Devon; the Thelma Hulbert Gallery occupies an attractive Grade I listed Victorian house, and has links with the Hayward Gallery, London. Honiton is only a short drive from the dramatic 20 mile stretch of Jurassic Coast, England’s first natural World Heritage Site. Resorts such as Seaton, Budleigh Salterton and Sidmouth are found along this stretch of coastline, and all have much to occupy the visitor. Near to Honiton is the cathedral city of Exeter with plenty of large shops, a wealth of museums, a theatre and fabulous restaurants.
