“We absolutely loved Belle View, so much so that we booked a return trip for later in the year, before we even left the property this morning.”

The cottage is so cute and welcoming, I felt immediately at home. The hosts left a sweet little basket with bread, biscuits, eggs and best of all WINE (which was lovely). I was surprised to read a previous comment complaining about what was left, considering this is done as a kind gesture, still, you can’t please everyone! A couple of things to note however; ...

The cottage is so cute and welcoming, I felt immediately at home. The hosts left a sweet little basket with bread, biscuits, eggs and best of all WINE (which was lovely). I was surprised to read a previous comment complaining about what was left, considering this is done as a kind gesture, still, you can’t please everyone! A couple of things to note however; 1. Car parking is a bit small, but my car got in ok, I just needed some guidance confidently reversing in. 2. If you have a dog, there’s no front garden as such, so you need to walk down the street to take them for a late night loo break. 3. The shower, as others have mentioned, is really bad, but hey, have a bath instead

“The cottage was lovely.”

Kitchen was very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Washing machine was really handy with a clothes horse upstairs. A welcome basket greeted us complete with crackers and mince pies as it was Christmas. The village itself was beautiful with lots of places to walk and visit near by. Only issues was the bed! It was very small being a double in a small room and felt very tight in there! The shower pressure was pants and at points I thought it had turned off! All in all a great holiday and a lovely cottage and would thoroughly recommend to everyone!

“A delightful little cottage, in a beautiful little village, it was tastefully decorated and furnished, and was spotlessly clean.”

A basket of goodies awaited us including eggs, bread, biscuits a bottle of wine, and milk in the fridge. Only a few yards from the ‘Valiant Soldier’ pub which did lovely meals and a village shop stocking all manner of things, including logs for the fire. We will certainly go again!

“When we read some of the reviews, we were concerned but we didn’t need to be.”

The cottage is delightful. It’s comfortable, spotlessly clean, well equipped and the log burner made it cosy. The parking area is small but we managed to park our Mondeo there. This is an end of terrace, old cottage and so yes you can hear the neighbours, but they are not particularly loud and they didn’t disturb us. We ate twice at the Valiant Soldier, the food and atmosphere were great.

“Lovely cottage, very nice welcome pack on arrival, bottle of wine, loaf of bread, eggs and biscuits.”

Yes there is a bit of a parking issue, we were there for 4 days and the neighbours car never left the drive so it was a bit of a manoeuvre to get out,but nothing major, we have a Renault Clio, anything bigger might have a problem. Everything inside the cottage was spot on,although the shower was a bit hit and miss due to low pressure but I had a bath instead, water pressure coming out of the taps was brill! One thing the owner might consider doing is to put a thermal curtain up over the door, we were there the last days of October, it was really cold outside at night and there was a cold draught blowing through the bottom of the door! Also the pillow covers on the bed didn’t smell very fresh, but apart from these minor details we had a very comfortable stay. Mustn’t forget to mention that the pub is a 2 minute walk from the cottage, very friendly and welcoming and the food is great!

“Delightful cottage, comfortable, large enough for 2.”

Everything there that you needed to have a very enjoyable holiday. The basket of goodies on the table included bread, biscuits,wine and milk and butter in the fridge. The community run village shop was excellent, and the pub close by was very good. The only problem that we had was with the directions included in the info, The cottage is not opposite the crescent as stated, but further along the road between the pub and the shop,

“Cottage is clean and lovely, not too tiny.”

a warm welcome made us feel positive even we did not use wine and biscutes but still feel great thank you both Sykes Cottage and a landlord.
Mr Pym September 2018

“Overall a lovely weekend.”

Cottage great as expected. Lot's of wonderful places to visit! Directions to the cottage needed to be better! Stopped and asked locals within a mile away, and they had no clue as to where it was. Apart from that a very nice time away!
Ms Vincent September 2018

“The cottage was beautiful, exactly how described.”

The parking was slightly tricky, but once you got used to the small space it was ok, although a big vehicle would not be great. The village pub is excellent, food fabulous, and only two minutes walk from cottage which was very handy! Village is very quiet and peaceful, with useful village shop. Lots of walks, the sea is only a short car ride away, also loads of things to see and do in the area. Really appreciated the welcome basket on arrival, which had a loaf of crusty farmhouse bread, half a dozen eggs, a farmhouse fruit cake, a bottle of wine and a carton of milk in the fridge!! A lovely relaxing long weekend, in a delightful setting.
Mrs Archer August 2018

“The parking area is too small for any size of car as the people living in the adjoining cottage has a NEW LAND ROVER and takes up most of the parking area and as the road is narrow there is nowhere to safely to park your car, the adjoining wall is so thin you can hear all what the people in the next property are saying and they are always banging in there thats why we had to cut our holiday short because the banging was upsetting the dog.”

We were meant to have been on holiday from Friday 24/08/2018 for seven days but it is only Tuesday and we are back home.
Ms Pritchard August 2018

“We had a wonderful stay at this cottage and were very impressed with the speed of the response when we realised that there were no towels provided despite being listed.”

Even though it was 8.30 on a Fri eve, the team on the phone at Sykes managed to contact the owner and we had towels delivered within an hour along with an extra complimentary bottle of wine to say sorry. Great service!
Mr Jenner July 2018

“Bathroom and shower were a disappointing, no water pressure for shower, no privacy at window and no shaving light.”

Otherwise all as expected and comfortable.
Mr Browne July 2018

“Very inadequate directions, resulting in 2 hours of local searching for the property.”

This was compounded by fact that there's a similar address in Washford. Approaching Washford on A39 from Bridgwater, Willow Grove, is not on the route to Roadworthy. Instead, Abbey Road is a left turn off the A39, just past Willow Grove on the right. The directions failed to mention that Abbey Road splits just North of Torre and you need to fork off to the right to get to Roadworthy. The directions failed to mention the distance to that fork or the distance from there to Roadworthy which would have gvien early warning that we were off-course. The directions also said that the property would be on the left after The Crescent, i.e. on the opposite side of the road. In fact it is on the right. On arrival, the welcome basket contained only 3 items and beside it was a vase containing just 2 or 3 three lavender stalks and one salvia stalk - which we found rather disappointingly frugal compared with our experience of other letting agencies. Upstairs, the crumpled, slightly stained bottom sheet gave the impression of not having been changed since the previous occupants. The towels were clean but slightly damp as if they had been machine washed but not dried properly. No idea why there were scatter cushions on the bed, which we had to remove and find a storage space for in the tiny bedroom. The cottage was otherwise clean and tidy. The sofa and arncheir were comfortable. The kitchen lacked kitchen scissors, e.g. for cutting packaging or bacon, and there was no fish-slice to get a fried egg out of the pan. The kitchen was otherwise adequtely provided with crockery and utensils. We liked the plates and bowls storage rack and the large double-sink. The TV did not seem to match the description in the cottage's information ring-binder, which referred to it having an internal DVD player. The location was very quiet, apart from the live band in the nearby pub on the Saturday night and the occasional boy-racer along the otherwise little used road at the front. If we had been there longer we might have wanted more, and more private, sitting out space, rather than a bench and a table behind our car on the car-parking space. However, we realised that this might be a problem from the information we had beforehand from you and on the internet.
Mrs Gwynne June 2018

“This is a lovely cottage- very quiet with the sound of the river running behind it.”

It’s very well equipped and a convenient location for beautiful Exmoor and coast. Only problem if you have a dog is that the front “garden” is open to a quite busy road and also doubles as your parking space! You can’t tell that from the photos. One suggestion- some coasters would be useful, otherwise generally a very good cottage.
Mrs Fletcher May 2018

“The cottage was so clean and tidy when we arrived.”

There was a welcome pack which was lovely. As stated the parking space was limited. So a large car would be difficult to park. We took our small dog . But needed to take it out each day as no area for it to go and a busy road in front of the cottage . Missing items, like place mats and washing up cloths. However loved staying there. Lovely local shop, lovely community. Great local pub with lovely meals. You may need to book some evenings. Would love to go back! Enjoyed our stay very much. Mr Keith Butcher.

“A lovely cottage for a fab break in Exmoor.”
Miss Smith December 2017

“Unfortunately the shower was awful - it dribbled water rather than showered you in water”
Mrs Hardwick December 2017

“The cottage and location was fabulous.”

Local pub served lovely food. Very slight negative, parking was a bit tricky. Very friendly locals. We loved it.
Mr Taylor October 2017

“The cottage is in a lovely quiet village with a great local pub.”

The pub did lovely food at great prices and was dog friendly. There was a lovely welcome pack with local produce on arrival. Our only concern was getting into the parking space which is quite tight especially when next door was at home but that would be less of an issue if your car was small.
Mrs Hardy September 2017

“Directions to property were very poor but everything else was perfect thank you.”
Ms Sparks September 2017

“Great cottage for 2, well equipped kitchen.”

Lovely fluffy towels and gorgeous toiletries. Poor TV reception was a bit irritating.
Mr Wilkinson September 2017

“A lovely sleepy Exmoor village with a good shop and great pub.”

Ideal for exploring what the area has to offer. Cottage was faultless too.
Mr Ballard August 2017

“The cottage was immaculate, well furnished and equipped with everything you could think of.”

All the detailed information provided was accurate. The only criticism we had was that (given the cool weather at the start of the holiday) we would have appreciated more detailed information on how to turn the central heating on for a short period. We got there in the end!

The property

A magnificent traditional end-terrace cottage set on the edge of Exmoor National Park in Roadwater, Somerset.

The rustic features and cosy setting make this the perfect stay for a romantic couple's retreat.

Walk through the old farmhouse-style door and enter straight into the oak-floored sitting room/diner, complete with a woodburning stove along with comfy seating and Smart TV/DVD player.

The ground floor is complete with a well-equipped kitchen with stylish wooden worktops and everything you could need for a weekend break.Up the traditional, cottage style narrow stairs takes you up to a comforting, cosy first floor with a homely master bedroom bosting a picturesque view of the Washford River as well as a separate, large dressing room.

To the front of the property there is a delightful patio area with plenty of seating.

The local pub and village shop are both less than a minutes’ walk away but Belle Vue is also well placed to explore the many walking routes on Exmoor including The Mineral Line and Coleridge Way which both pass by the cottage.

Close by is the Cistercian Abbey of Cleeve, a haven of peace and tranquillity, where visitors can catch a glimpse of monastic life over 800 years ago.

The harbour village of Watchet is only a short drive with with quirky shops, a steam railway and boat rides to enjoy.

Dunster is just 5 miles away and is home to a fantastic castle, and the beaches at Minhead are just a further 3 miles away.

A typical, traditional cottage set in an amazing location.
