This is a fabulous property, beautifully & tastefully decorated and really well equipped, especially the large kitchen which has everything you could ever need on holiday.
Don't be put off by the Rayburn (there's no conventional hob / oven, but there is a combi-microwave) - my adult son mastered it in minutes and cooked some amazing meals for us on it during our stay. The beds were super-comfy and the bathroom & the shower room were stunning. Some people have commented on the garden being rather small - actually we thought it was perfect, and the fact the property has other properties around it (another barn next door and a couple more barns at the back plus the white B&B house opposite on the driveway) wasn't an issue at all. We didn't see another soul during our stay! Other people have mentioned the road noise. Yes, it is directly on the A road from Bovey Tracey to Moretonhampstead, but the traffic was very light, especially during the day. Even sleeping with the windows open, we weren't bothered by any road noise, or when we were in the garden. The bonus, of course, is that there's no lengthy farm track to negotiate before you're on a proper road, so getting around the area was fast and easy. Other people have commented on the entrance being tricky to drive into because the property is on a blind bend, but we didn't find this to be a problem at all. Turning left out of the driveway is fine as any traffic (and there wasn't much traffic, really) tends to be slower due to the bend being where the road narrows to single-track). To avoid the worry of turning right out of the drive on a blind bend, we simply turned left, then turned round in the B&B driveway literally seconds down the road. Problem sorted! Driving TO the property from the Bovey end is really easy - after the B&B sign, just look for the big white house which is where you turn into the driveway. Parking for one car wasn't a problem at all - very easy. Driving TO the property from the Moreton end wasn't a problem, despite the bend, we just indicated early, then turned into the driveway. Again, very straightforward. The views from the property across the valley are simply incredible and it's very close to Lustleigh village with its pub, tearoom, post office / farm shop / dairy (lovely local produce!) and an intriguing gallery where you can buy prints and greetings cards (not always open). The only issue we had was with the recycling as the recycling boxes hadn't been sorted properly by previous guests. I emailed Louise, the owner (I don't think they live locally), who responded immediately and was really friendly and helpful. We'd definitely come back to this property in the future - a very pleasant stay with everything we needed at hand.

Had updated Sykes with a fourth person prior to holiday commencing.
This person was staying two nights, one either end of our confirmed one week stay. This also told to Sykes. The property owner was just finishing preparing beds when we arrived about 15:45. Entry was from 16:00. When he left he telephoned Sykes to inform them we had a young child with us and suspected there were five people staying (4 person property). Not pleasant to be assumed dishonest. Young child was my early twenties grandaughter who had been put on the list as the fourth person. Sykes called with accusary tone and questioning which felt very unnecessary. Owner could have asked us himself at the time of our introducing ourselves prior to him leaving. Owner assumed grandaughter younger (because of her looks/dress?) and two people yet to arrive regardless of our telling him fourth person was still travelling from south east to join us. Sykes key pad number was not updated on their information supplied to us and had difficulty entering the property. Had to trouble the owner (wife) who gave correct key code. Property situated on bend of main road, not good for walking but excellent for exploring area by car. Required extra vigilance when entering/leaving driveway especially for right hand turn. Two car parking next to sloping area with bins. Very tight and fought with hedging to get around car to enter/exit gate. We had one medium and one small car. Property was nicely done, clean, comfortable with everything well thought through. Personally we found ticking clocks irritating when trying to relax although others may find it quaint.

Arrived to find parking extremely tight , we have a mondeo and it was extremely challenging to park each day.
The photo of the property on the Sykes site shows the gate of the mill house next door and therefore is not accurate. We did not find the property clean and all air fresheners & plug ins were empty. The damp smell in the lower basement area was very strong and the owner was contacted on the 3rd day of our stay to inform them of this . The dehumidifier had not been emptied prior to the start date of our stay and was very stale water left there . The owners responded by providing common sense suggestions including open windows, I did not find this helpful and they did not recheck to see if our stay had improved. The shower head leaked and permanently dripped. The bedding was of a cheap quality and pillows were flat , this was a previous complaint by another family . There were no headboards on any bed. The toilet seat became loose during our stay . There were no seat pads for garden chairs. There was a previous guestâs underwear item left in the bottom of the main bedroom wardrobe which I informed the owner of, no response to this . The washing machine had black deposits , with 2 coins & a pen top in the door seal area which my husband had to clean before it was used and placed 2 dishwasher tablets in it on a cycle to clean it. The DVD remote did not work. I do not consider this property to a 4 star property and would strongly suggest you revisit this to reassess. Our previous Sykes properties have been superb, and therefore feel your reputation is at risk .

Completely the WRONG choice of accommodation for us.
To begin with, on our arrival, we surprised to find the pub was quite so close. We had read in the details that 'there may be some associated noise', and there most definitely was. We had obviously expected some, but what we had not expected was the endless foul language and expletives, which were impossible to get away from. In fairness, the owner did apologise for this on a couple of occasions. We were also frustrated that 'off road parking for one car' was advertised, but finding somewhere was a bit of a lottery as there as no actual designated space. Another disappointment was the lack of seating. Outside there was only a very uncomfortable wooden 'double bench' supplied with cushions that did not fit - not that we could have spent much time outside with the continual obscenities emanating from next door. And inside there was only the bed to sit on. However, the shower room was well-appointed, but the living area was cramped making catering difficult. Actually, there was only a small worktop with an integral sink in immediate proximity to electrical items, and we were more than a little concerned that water and electricity were so close together. In hindsight, maybe we should have spoken to the owner about our disappointments at the time, but we felt it would have achieved little. As the main problems were the property's location and lack of size, which could not be changed. We will not be staying there again.

We had a such a lovely time at this beautiful cottage.
Although there a a few things that should be mentioned. - The property is definitely too small for 6 people to stay.There may be 3 bedrooms, but the living room is only comfortable for 4 maybe 5 people if they would like to sit on the lap of each other, dining table hardly takes 4. - The shower is not suitable for people over 170cm, we had to sit in the shower to not bang our head - Parking is a bit tricky, but that was mentioned before and the neighbours were very nice to us All these things aren't that bad and are just our personal impression but what's need to be said is that the cottage definitely needs a good clean ! It was tidy at the first sight, but there are cobwebs everywhere, the kitchen front was sticky and the toilet definitely hasn't been cleaned before we arrived as they were stains and even hairs on the toilet seat. Apart from this it was a lovely stay, the flat is very well equipped. In the kitchen is everything you need and even more, cleaning products in Bath and kitchen and even a cage for the dog. The beds are comfortable, there are enough towels, the tiny little area outside is very nice and pet friendly, there are only short walks to the shops, playgrounds and the beautiful dog walking path. We definitely would come back again, as we really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful place.
