"Beautiful relaxing home from home."
Just a bit more information on how to turn heating down or off, just too warm for us. Lol But a fantastic place to stay with best of both worlds with country side & beaches nearby. Shared courtyard/ garden a bit of a pain not being able to let the dog off lead.
Thank you for letting us know! I added a section to the digital guestbook on heating and updated the advert regarding dogs. Thank you for the feedback <3 We're so glad you had a lovely stay. Property Owner

"We have had a lovely week staying at this cottage - the location is excellent for visiting the surrounding area particularly Brixham, Paignton, Totnes and Dartmouth."
The cottage itself is very warm and comfortable with everything needed to feel at home. One of the reasons we chose this cottage is because it is dog friendly. The cottage is set in a courtyard with several other properties - some residential - and unfortunately some of the residents seem to have a dislike of dogs being there, which made us feel extremely uncomfortable even with our Labrador on the lead. For this reason alone we would not return to this cottage which is a shame as it has everything needed for a lovely holiday.

"We all enjoyed our stay at 1 Alston Farm cottage."
Very clean and cosy cottage. Ideal location for visiting and exploring surrounding areas. The only issue we had with Sykes was the key code they had originally sent us.After receiving this code,Sykes then sent us a second code saying that this code was the correct one and to ignore the first one. When we arrived at the cottage it was pouring with rain and only to find the key code we were told to use was did not work. I managed to look through my emails from Sykes which luckily I had kept and used the first code they sent me,that turned out to be the right one in the first place. By this time we were all soaking wet and not amused. I spoke to Sykes during our stay and told them what had happened,they did not apologise for their mistake but said they would pass on what I had told them to the owner. I did not feel it was the owners fault but that of Sykes. The owner contacted me the same day to apologise for the mess up but I told her I didn't think it was her fault but that of Sykes. The owner and myself had a very nice conversation over their cottage and said we had enjoyed our stay and Antonia said she was pleased to hear that.I thanked her for contacting me and she thanked me for being understanding. I hope that Sykes resolve the key code problem.
Thank you Tony. I have contacted Sykes myself and they have assured me the issue is resolved now. Please come again! Property Owner
