  • "We spent a great week (10-17th Aug) at The Hawthorns."

    You are quite literally in the Devonshire countryside with just the noise of the birds and animals, so relaxing. The cottage is one of the best holiday accommodations we've stayed in. Standard/cleanliness were excellent. Six of us stayed of different age groups, 2 young ones, 2 middles plus us 2 oldies! Oh, and 1 dog. On arrival we were amazed by the chocolate cake, eggs and milk left for us. Also a basket with bits to get us started. We were all well catered for with the excellent facility of well equipped games barn, field for football and badminton. The hot tub and outside seating were our favourite, returning earlier than usual each day to use it. The whole cottage is beautifully furnished with no expense spared. The kitchen/diner was well equipped and spacious. Bedrooms were all very comfortable with lots of storage space. Damon & Karen, our hosts are very friendly and welcoming with tips and information. All in all a great week and I could go on...... Missing the cottage with the peace and quiet already

    Hi Chris, thank you for your lovely words it really means a lot for us to hear and a much appreciated reward for all the effort we and our team put into all our properties. We look forward to welcoming you all back soon at Lambscombe. Kind Regards, Damon & Karen Property Owner

    It was spotlessly clean with plenty of storage space, a lovely fitted kitchen which was well stocked with utensils, crockery and glassware. The cake, eggs, milk and dog treats were a welcome gift on arrival. Damon was a great host, attending to hot tub everyday and advising on places to visit with our dog and to eat out.

    Hi, so glad you enjoyed your stay in Hawthorns for the most part. Regarding your dog Todd and the need for Karen to call Kevin . Sykes rules are clear no dogs are to be left unaccompanied in the property at anytime (even crated). This is because your insurance is invalidated and any damage caused by what could be a distressed dog would essentially fall to us. If sofas are damaged for example it can also mean the cancellation of the next guests holiday, as owners we strive to ensure all our guests receive the highest level of experience at Lambscombe. The rules are there for all and stated when booking by the agent as well as contained in the terms and conditions therefore the listing is accurate. Lots of people take their dogs with them to the Christmas market as most stores and food places let them in year round(Devon is probably the most dog friendly county we know). Thank you for you feedback. Regards, Damon & Karen Property Owner
