• "A lovely cottage with everything you could need."

  Chagford is a great centre for exploring Dartmoor and a really nice vibrant little town, with shops, cafes, galleries and pubs/restaurants. Lots of great walks on the doorstep too. We would book again.

• "The property was great for our needs and well maintained and the kitchen had good facilities."

  Maybe a blind in the sitting room instead of curtains so it could be more private whilst letting in light. We had a lovely stay

• "When we arrived the toilet and bath room sink were blocked, this was sorted out stright away but the cleaner should have noticed this when the cottage was cleaned."

  The cottage bathroom was not clean dirty tiles and the bathroom fan was blocked and not working.The view from the lounge window was onto the yard of the pub which was filled with rubish not good. one bedroom over looked the same yard you had to keep the curtains drawn all day, will not be booking with Sykes cottages again after 10 a customer

  Thank you for completing your feedback. We are sorry that there was issue when you arrived with the toilet and sink being blocked, this was dealt with and sorted as soon as we were made aware. Had we been made aware of any further issues, we would have been more than happy to rectify these for you during your stay. The rear of the property does back onto the yard of the next door good food pub and we've not had any complaints from previous guests regarding this. Property Owner

• "The cottage is beautifully presented with excellent facilities."

  It is extremely well placed in the village and the owners have thought carefully about every detail to make our stay pleasurable. I am sure the owner is aware that the shower above the sitting room occasionally leaks and drips down onto the single sofa seat. There is some small water damage on the panelling above the chair which I noticed on a previous visit too. We are looking forward to our next visit later in the month!

  Thank you so much for your fantastic feedback. We carried out some work recently to cure a leak and with follow up investigation have been unable to find any further signs of leaking. We will renew some silicone sealant and continue to monitor the situation. Thanks again for your kind comments. We look forward to having you back. Property Owner

• "This is our second stay at Foxhat, and I've lost count of the times we've stayed on Dartmoor."

  Foxhat is perfect for us as we absolutely love Chagford! Such a friendly village. We've stayed in a few properties through Helpful Holidays/Sykes. Thoroughly recommend this accommodation. It's so clean and comfortable. Plenty of hot water and a good night's rest in the lovely large bed! Check out The Globe for amazing food and a warm welcome from Mary, Graham and Nick and The Three Crowns too. Breakfast at Folklore is amazing! Such beautiful walks directly from the cottage door, over to Fingle Bridge and Castle Drogo. Plenty of parking in the main carpark and so cheap. Can't fault anything! We always return every year, so will be back again next spring.

  Thank you for your fantastic feedback. It is very encouraging to get such great comments. We agree, Chagford is a lovely village surrounded by beautiful countryside. We look forward to having you back. Property Owner

• "An ideal base for catching up with our Chagford family."

  The cottage was so warm and cosy we didn’t need the wood burner. Everything was provided for a very comfortable stay for adults and dog. We were particularly impressed by the beds and showers. Hope to make a return trip soon.

  Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We look forward to having you back. Property Owner

• "We have stayed at Fox Hat several times before."

  It's just off the high street but very quiet, so the location is ideal. Free parking for up to 2 hours is available nearby and the municipal car park is just around the corner (£3 a day). A pleasant and well-presented place to stay.

• "We had the best few days staying in this delightful cottage right in the middle of Chagford."

  It is warm and cosy, very well equipped and within walking distance of great pubs, cafés and shops. There are wonderful walks from the front door and it's also easy to get out onto the moors nearby. Thank you for the milk and delicious cake, and for leaving a ball, towel and bowl for our dog

• "We had a brilliant stay at FoxHat Cottage!"

  It was perfect for our little family of four. Very cosy downstairs but with adequate space, while the upstairs was unexpectedly spacious and well laid out. We can't wait to come back to Chagford to stay again. The lemon drizzle cake on arrival was a lovely touch as well!

  Thank you so much for your lovely comments. We look forward to having you back. Property Owner

• "Lovely little cottage in the heart of the village."

  Very well equipped kitchen - everything catered for. Milk and cake on arrival was very much appreciated. Super sized comfy beds and great size main bedroom. The only negatives for us was no wardrobe in the smaller room - maybe a suitable cupboard could be put on the spacious landing. The en-suite shower needed the sealant along the bottom of the sliding door replaced as it didn’t look very nice - also some grout in the other bathroom. Only minor things but the grout did look dirty. Other than that a really lovely week with friends.

  Thank you for your feedback. This year we are delighted to have received 100% positive feedback. We note your comments and have had a close look at the items mentioned. In the second bedroom we have a chest of drawers and plenty of hanging space in the recess with hooks and hangers. We are extremely proud of our high standard of cleanliness thanks to the lovely Rachel and Maddy who look after our cottage and after close inspection could not find the defects to grout and sealant mentioned.

• "As I wrote in the guest book, this was the most well-appointed cottage I have ever stayed in; I couldn't fault anything, from the comfort to the provision of kitchen equipment."

  Also, I found everyone so welcoming & friendly wherever I went in the town, & the choice of eateries, whether cafe or pub, was amazing, as was the food quality. I love the choice of independent shops, & the local information provided was most helpful. Well done to the owner.

  Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We love Chagford and so happy that you did too. Property Owner

• "A beautifully presented cottage."

  We tried to work the heating but ended up turning radiator’s down as very hot. Golden retriever puppy had his crate in the kitchen by radiator and he loved it! He wasn’t allowed anywhere else in the cottage (our decision) but all pubs etc made us so very welcome. We would love to come back - especially if you do plumb the washing machine in. Great location but hard to find in the dark

  Thank you for your constructive feedback. We have asked the heating engineer to look at the heating controls. Happy to say that the washing machine is now up and running. We look forward to having you back sometime. Thanks again and best wishes. Property Owner

• "This was our third visit to Chagford, but not for about 18 years."

  We are pleased to say that things have changed very little and Dartmoor is as magical as ever. The cottage had all we needed and was comfortable and well equipped. We would very much like to revisit next year. We have heard that a washing machine is to be installed which would be most helpful - especially for those staying for more than one week. And finally, many thanks to Madeleine the caretaker who helped us with the television.

  Thank you for your comments. We are pleased to confirm that a washing machine is currently being installed and look forward to you returning as guests in the future. Property Owner

• "We really loved the location and amenities of Fox Cottage during our three day stay."

  If staying longer (for example a week) we would have needed a washer/drier as clothing tends to get muddy and wet after walking on Dartmoor. This is the only thing that would prevent us from booking again.

• "We were exceptionally pleased with the standards we found at Fox Hat Cottage, and spent a highly enjoyable weekend."

  Excellent facilities, and cleanliness. Chagford is a great little town, with a lovely selection of pubs/hotels and shops. We had some lovely meals out, and some excellent times sat around real log fires. The establishments were not expensive for meals or drinks. A drive up and around Dartmoor was time well spent, as were evenings around the log burner at Fox Hat Cottage. We would highly recommend.

• "Chagford is a beautiful village well appointed with pubs, shops & restaurants."

  Our accommodation was in the centre of the billage so no driving required after parking up. Fox Hat Cottage is charming & well equipped, however a washing machine would be beneficial for a longer visit & the log burner stove needs slight maintenance on the lower door to aid efficiency. Yes, we will definitely be back & wonderful that we could bring our dog with us as well . Thank you for the welcoming cake, milk & well stocked beverage cupboard.
