    "Spicery exceeded expectations and was one of the very best places we have ever stayed in for a holiday."

    The cottage was comfortable, spacious and spotlessly clean. Very well thought out and included a Hot Tub which we made use of. Views from the upstairs bedroom were amazing and all the patio areas outside were completely private, The cottage is conveniently located near a number of A roads. Owners were friendly and there on hand but not intrusive. Thank you for a wonderful week's holiday.

    "Had a lovely week at the Spicery, there was a few things that wasn’t for us."

    We did not know that the owners lived next door and that there was an adjoining door to their house, even though it was locked their side. There was quite a big step down from the patio where the hot tub was to the garden, we only have little dogs and we had to keep picking them up and down. Lastly the road to the property was a gravel track so if you were looking at getting a takeaway, they don’t deliver. But the property itself was beautiful, cleaned to Such a high standard and they have everything you need, although an ice tray for the freezer would have been nice.

    Hi, thankyou for taking the time to leave your review. Sadly a drawback to living in the countryside is that takeaway deliveries aren’t available due to distance & since your stay, the owners of the lane have had roadworks done to increase the concrete strips along Floyte Lane. The adjoining door was left by the previous owners, I can assure you we do not have any access whatsoever to Spicery from our home at all, only through the main front door. We had it bricked up our side, when we purchased the house. We’re glad you liked Spicery, we do love what we do & hope our guests have a lovely relaxing time when they stay. Kind regards Sarah & Rob Property Owner

    "Spotlessly clean and fresh when we arrived."

    Really well maintained and presented. Lovely warm welcome on arrival. This property is a real gem, we wanted for nothing, even good fans in the bedrooms for the warm weather. Lovely quiet and peaceful setting. The small garden was great for our dog, a fab hot tub was a treat, plus a lovely patio area for dining. A great area at the rear of the property to walk our dog. The hosts were really friendly and helpful as they are close by. Lots of places to visit, The Donkey Sanctuary was great and very dog friendly and Sidmouth close by. We highly recommend this property.

    Thankyou so much for the lovely review! We love what we do here & are so glad you’ve had a lovely time. It was a pleasure to meet you, kind regards Sarah & Rob Property Owner

    "This was a wonderful place to stay."

    We could not think of a nicer place to have our 2 week holiday. The owners made us very welcome and were at hand if needed, but they weren't. The location was stunning. There were so many places to visit that were only a short distance away. We highly recommend this place and would holiday there again.

    "We have just returned from a fabulous holiday at The Spicery."

    Our week was so relaxing and peaceful, a previous reviewer mentioned the birdsong throughout the day which was especially enjoyable while relaxing in the spotless hot tub! Many thanks to the lovely owners and family, their holiday home is so clean and inviting, with very comfortable furniture and beds, plus the kichen equipment has everything you could possibly wish for. Needless to say, we have booked again for next year!

    The peace was loud. Spotlessly clean, tidy, spacious and comfortable. You are provided with everything you need for a great stay. A lovely added touch of scones, jam and clotted cream awaited us on arrival. Secure dog friendly accommodation with the added bonus of a great hot tub. Thanks for a wonderful stay.
