"Anna is an excellent host and could not have been more welcoming."
The gift of freshly baked scones, clotted cream and jam waiting for us was a delight. This is one of the best cottages I have ever rented. The addition of the available hot tub added even more . The bed was super comfortable and all the little touches from a kitchen apron to milk and ground coffee left by Anna made our stay just perfect. We were very sad to leave . I would definitely stay again any time

"A wonderful stay at Nuthatch!"
Upon arrival, we were greeted with a freshly baked cake made by Anna which was a lovely treat! We couldn’t believe how quiet the surroundings were at night (could even hear the owls!) and loved star-gazing whilst sat in the hot tub!
Everything we needed for a week’s stay was in the property and only 15 mins from Honiton for shops, pubs etc! The last couple of miles are via some very narrow, single track lanes - would definitely recommend doing a Google Street view before travelling as this really helped get an idea of whereabouts the property was and what to expect! Would thoroughly recommend!

"Nuthatch is a perfect idylic retreat, with a private parking, patio and hot tub."
Set in stunning countryside, it is so peaceful. The cottage offers every comfort and facilities. We had a warm welcome from Anna, home baked brownies, wine and fresh flowers.
A comfortable bolthole to return to, after visiting picturesque villages, beaches, towns and Exeter city.

"Nice cottage in a very quiet location - comfortable."
The cottage is adjacent to the owners house. The owner was very welcoming and helpful. The approach was through very narrow lanes, but was acceptable. The warning in the details not to approach from Stockland was wise.

"We had a lovely stay at Nuthatch."
The attention to detail by the host was second to none. We were left a lovely homemade cake and bottle of wine and all kitchen condiments, tea, coffee, cooking oil etc were available. The hot tub was great and rather large for 2 people so could easily relax and spread out. The mile drive down a single track was a bit bumpy and overgrown and we actually thought we were lost when we first drove down it but you do get used to it. Soft furnishings may be ready for a refurb but this didn't affect our very relaxing stay and would happily stay again.
Hi Tracy
Thank you for your lovely feedback from your stay at Nuthatch! I will be having a close look at the soft furnishings and appreciate your comments on the possible need for an upgrade. Would very much appreciate any specific observations - your feedback is very important to me! Please don’t hesitate to call me if you would like to.
Kind regards, Anna

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!"
We needed a break badly and staying in your cottage was the rest and peace we needed. The thoughtfulness you put into making the cottage a home from home is so welcoming and comforting. It’s a real peace haven. Thank you for the eggs, freshly baked goodies and stunning garden flowers, you’re the perfect host. I’ve recommended this cottage to all my friends and family.

"Had a lovely stay, the cottage is very rural so very quiet & peaceful."
Getting to the cottage is not for the fainthearted, it's down a 1.5 mile long single track road.
Once you do get to the end of the road though there are lots of beaches to visit & some beautiful villages with good pubs to eat out.
I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a peaceful break. Anna the host is lovely & very welcoming.

"The welcome to the property was above and beyond with lots of nice little touches."
We were excited to try the eggs she had left for us from her chickens. She had also set us up with tea, coffee, sugar and a few other bits. She came and said hello on arrival the came back the following day with a baked cake for us, which taste amazing. She has also created a lovely welcome book with lots of information on the local area with recommendations. The bed was very comfortable and the shower room was great. We loved using the hot tub was a Nice treat. Was just Shame the music wasn’t working.
Really pleased and looking to come back again in the future.

We loved our time at Nuthatch. The cottage is so cosy and comfortable . Anna is a wonderful host - other sykes cottages have been very nice but didn’t have personal touches. We were left delicious brownies , eggs from the hens next door, and used the comprehensive welcome book of information. We were very sad to leave !

Anna was a lovely host and welcomed us with beautiful baking. There was an amazing welcome book with all the info you could possibly need to stay in the area (restaurants, pubs, grocery, hospitals, if you needed anything it was in the book!).
The setting is beautiful surrounded by the countryside and beautiful valley, footpaths every direction you looked. The hot tub was perfect as well!
Would 100% return to this beautiful little cottage!
