  • "Really lovely property, was perfect for our week away in north Devon."

    Had the best night sleep as the bed was super comfy, really dog friendly with enclosed garden. You’ve got the coastal path literally a 5 min walk away, so I walked ilfracombe to woolacombe which was a great 8mile hike with stunning views. You have shops, pubs, cafes, all within walking distance so is a great place to explore the local area. Would definitely recommend.

    A mirror in bedroom for make up/hair and coffee table/footstool would be good. Leave instructions to open/close gate on arrival.

    Well equipped with everything you need provided. A very peaceful stay. Convenient location for shops, great dog walks and beaches. Accommodating and friendly owners. The most comfortable super king size bed I have ever slept in. Thank you for a wonderful stay, just what we needed.

  • "It was lovely & relaxing."

    A mirror in the bedroom would’ve been useful & possibly another coffee table in the living room but not essential. It was spotless everywhere & family were friendly & helpful. We’d definitely book it again if we came to ilfraconbe. Thanks for a great break.

    Perfect for 2 people with great indoor and outdoor space. If you are looking for a relaxing bolt hole then you can't beat this place.

  • "The cottage is excellent : comfortable, well-equipped, peaceful and the owners very happy to please."

    However, we had no idea about the 43 steps down to the property. As we are both in our late 70s and my husband has mobility issues, before booking we checked the access with Sykes Collages both through the on-line chat and speaking to Martin directly. We were told the only steps were two or three to the front door. This totally ruined the enjoyment of our holiday. Although we had help with our luggage, from very helpful electricians working on the property on arrival and from the owners when departing, the worry about ascending and descending the steps clouded everything. We understand that representatives from Sykes visited the property several times while it was under construction, so there is absolutely no excuse for this vital piece of information being omitted from your website.

  • "The property was exactly as its listing, in fact almost brand new and pristine."

    In fact would love to know where the bathroom tiles were from!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the hosts were very welcoming, nothing was too much trouble for them. There were refreshments supplied ( tea / coffee and fresh milk) for our arrival and ice for our G&Ts. Would be really happy to visit again. Thank you for a lovely stay.

    Thank you very much,for staying at Robins downs we glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
