"Lovely place and so peaceful!"
Our hosts, Sue and Mark, were very welcoming and friendly, and suggested some great places to visit locally. We were greeted with a lovely home made cream tea, and were able to take advantage of the cider produced on the farm too, which is delicious!
A little out of the way so we needed to use the car every day, but worth it for the peace and quiet.
Highly recommended.

"A comfortable, welcoming cottage."
The garden space is a relaxing joy. It's a lovely place to unwind and "get away" from the world whilst being close to coastal and inland attractions and walks. Our hosts were helpful and welcoming whilst not being intrusive. This was our second stay and every bit as enjoyable as the first. Bridget

"This charming, farmhouse cottage, ideally suited for exploring N."
Devon, offers a genuine taste of rural life. Reached down a long, private track, it is very peaceful, as it is sited well away from noisy traffic.
Children will love seeing all the farm animals and playing on the lawn, as the ducks contentedly wander by.
The cottage is spotlessly clean and the owners are generous and friendly.

A bit too 1950s for us though. We found the access difficult through a farm but we were welcomed with scones jam cream eggs and milk which was a lovely touch. Owners very friendly and helpful.

"Marys Cottage is really lovely."
I loved every minute of my stay there, it had everything I needed and was very comfortable and cosy, and the kitchen was very well equipped. On my arrival there was a homemade loaf , scones, jam and clotted cream on the table with fresh flowers dotted about , perfect start to my holiday. Lockdown was announced during my stay but Sykes website was informative and I found out that I was able to finish my holiday and not have to cut it short. Obviously lots of places closed but that didnt bother me as I went away to chill. I found some beaches that I could still walk on and there were takeaway places for a coffee or pasty and the supermarkets were open to buy provisions ! All in all a perfect break during strange times . Thank you Sue and Mark the hosts for allowing me to stay in their lovely cottage. Very sad to leave .

"We felt that Mark, Sue and Chris the owners of Marys cottage exceeded our expectations."
There warmth and passion in all they do on the farm is magnificent . The love and care to all the animals is heart warming. The engagement they gave us was wonderful. We have a special needs daughter Sue and Mark gave her opportunities to experience farm life close up. This is a farm with a big heart. Sykes asked me to vote for then as a good provider which they are, I feel that Sykes should offer a reward to good cottage owners as this one would have the Mason vote. Thank you Mark and Sue for a terrific week.
