• "This was a fabulous property."

  The location is excellent for trips to both Exmoor and Dartmoor. The property has been stylishly furnished with great attention to detail and Samantha has made the most fabulous curtains. They really do add a touch of luxury to the bedrooms. Samantha and Jason (owners) live on the farm and were very helpful and welcoming. It's a great location and property for a group of friends or a family group because you will find everything you need. The only thing I couldn't find in the kitchen was a bottle stopper (there probably was one) but it wasn't a problem because we just decided to drink all the wine. Problem solved.

  It was beautifully decorated with a lovely garden surrounded by countryside. The house was very clean and very well equipped. The owners had thought of everything. Samantha and Jason were always on hand if we needed anything and went above and beyond to help if required. Definitely the nicest property we have stayed in .

  Beautifully furnished. Plenty of room for all the family. The host of the property was so accommodating, welcoming and helpful. Nothing was to much trouble. The bbq house was a bonus, we really enjoyed spending time in there. The hot tub was regularly checked and cleaned. There are lots of places to visit and a lovely farm shop up the road. We would highly recommend Lake view for families and pets . There's also a games room to keep you entertained day or night .

• "We had a very pleasant stay apart from the weather."

  The hot tub and bbq hut were great fun and was enjoyed by all. Well-equipped and run by very helpful people. The only reason I have not given it five stars is because of the very slow broadband. Our 11 and 14 year old grandchildren were very frustrated as they are avid gamers as is the case with many children of their age. Download speeds of 5mb/sec and upload speeds of 0.58 at times, as measured by us, is unacceptable and we will not be returning because of that.

  Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We are glad you enjoyed Lake View and are sorry your grandchildren were frustrated with the lack of gaming they were able to play. We have spoken with our internet provider who have tested the internet speeds and their readings were 15.3mbps download speed and 4.40mbps upload speeds. We use satellite broadband which provides acceptable levels of connectivity. Currently the speeds we are achieving at Lake View are considered fast and would be able to handle multiple devices streaming videos at the same time. Our provider did explain however that with satellite internet, adverse weather can affect the service (such as thunderstorms or heavy rain). This, I am afraid, is something that is totally out of our control as we do provide fast internet connection (as proved with the speed tests carried out by the provider and us) but achieving these speeds is weather dependant.

  One of the very best things was the so lovely owners who live next door, they really made our time there so special, with goodies and a great welcome on arrival. It is in such a lovely spot in the countryside with a fabulous outlook onto darling sheep and lambs. Our dog made himself at home and enjoyed the garden and walks around the shared ‘arboretum’ and down the little lane as well as a forestry commission visit and to Castle Drogo. Perfect stay for 3 generations together.

  I stayed with my family in this beautiful barn conversion to celebrate my 40th birthday. It was a complete surprise to me where I was going and my family could have not found a better place. Jason and Samantha were most welcoming and nothing was too much trouble for them. We had everything we needed and more. Nothing like sitting in a big hot tub overlooking such picturesque views of nothing but rolling hills and green fields as far as the eye could see. The peace and quiet was perfect for a relaxing weekend. We had children and dogs with us who loved the outdoor space and the orchard to run around in. The bbq hut at the end of the garden was fantastic. Perfect night with steak and wine no matter what the weather was doing. The bedrooms were big and spacious with lovely comfortable beds and the downstairs area was perfect for cooking and socialising for a family of 7. We made full use of the games room where we all played darts and a few games of pool. Would not hesitate to recommend this beautiful place and can’t wait to return. Thank you Samantha and Jason for a memorable birthday which had everything I could have wished for.

  On arrival there was was a wonderful tray with tea coffee sugar biscuits. The fridge was stocked with eggs milk and a bottle of Prosecco in the wine fridge. The cottage has everything you might need and I mean everything. This is a beautiful house, so well presented with the most gorgeous finishing touches. There are board games galore and toys for little ones. There are books to suit all tastes. The garden is brilliant and a great space for children and adults, it is gorgeous. I could go on all day and still not give all the positives, it is simply perfection.

• "Upon arrival the cottage was beautiful and clean although there was old dog poo left on the grass which I picked up as I didn't want my own dogs stepping in it."

  Initially the cottage gave us the wow factor which it is, although we had a few problems the hot tub didn't work properly, we had no hot water and little heating for 2 days and a leak coming through the ceiling from the shower. The owner seemed fine about this at the time and did rectify it bar the hot tub button. The views are beautiful and so is the cottage. These things happen so we were prepared to over look them, however we have now been back 2 weeks and now we are getting blamed for damages with the hot tub button/filter and blue marks on the seating which I didnt see. On the whole this cottage is beautiful and would of definitely returned if it wasn't for the accused damage. We have tried to contact the owner but we have had no reply.

  Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback and we are sorry you felt you had to write this about your stay. The heating was working properly, and via the thermostat upstairs and downstairs it can be set to 30 degrees Celsius. It should be noted that Lake View is a stone barn conversion with stone walls, open plan living an open staircase and vaulted ceilings. You also mentioned the hot water was not working but the water temperature for all the showers can be set to a maximum of 36 degrees Celsius. The hot tub is an integral part of Lake View and as such we carry out strict and regular checks on the Hot Tub to ensure it is in full working order (any damage to the controls will be seen during these checks) and it is cleaned and topped up with chemicals every 2 days during your stay. When guests arrive, we will meet with you and take time to explain the Hot Tub and the controls. If the Hot Tub controls are tampered with (i.e. unlocking the panel and changing the settings) this will result in the Hot Tub not working properly. We apologise for any dog mess that we missed but dog poo bags are provided for guests to clear up after their dogs during their stay. It should also be noted that we have several cats, foxes and other wild animals around that also foul the lawns and footpaths. Property Owner

• "We stayed as a party of eight adults (and a small dog) to celebrate a 30th birthday."

  As a family we have stayed in many self catering properties over the years, and we all agreed that Lake View was one of the best equipped we have ever rented. The little extra touches provided for our arrival were very thoughtful ( fresh local milk and eggs, a bottle of bubbly, scones with jam and cream, and even dog treats and dog waste bags }. The pre-arrival directions Emailed before the holiday were clear and comprehensive, and the information folder provided in the property contained everything that we needed to know for a stress free holiday. The owners Samantha and Jason were friendly and helpful, and we were very touched by their thoughtful gesture of balloons, streamers and another bottle of bubbly laid out in the games room on our daughter’s birthday itself. The games room was a great addition to the property facilities, which was a bonus for us as it wasn’t originally featured when we made the booking back in early 2003. Overall we would definitely recommend this property.

  Location is perfect to explore North and South Devon along with Cornwall if you fancy venturing a bit further. Owners are lovely and on hand if needed and due to the layout you have complete privacy. Hot tub and bbq hut are a must and spotlessly clean - the owners are dog lovers and want people and their dogs to have the best time - we will be returning in 2024 as it really is a special place to stay - have stayed in various holiday cottages but Lake View is simply the best and knocks spots off of the rest so don’t hesitate to book it !!!

  The owners left us some of their local produce which was a lovely touch. My niece's especially enjoyed the hot tub which was the highlight of the holiday. The only thing that would be a negative comment is the small country roads leading to and around the property, we found this quite a challenge in places, but once we were on the main A and B roads we we're fine. All in all, we can confirm that we had a lovely family holiday at the property and would like to thank the owners for such a warm welcome.

  The thoughtfully left welcome goodies which included some for the dog, were really kind gesture along with the way the barn was set up. It was really comfortable and not at all cramped for 8 of us. We loved being able to sit and eat and play games both inside and outside. We called the bbq shed a “fairy house” and although we didn’t need to use it because the weather was fine, we did sit in it and have pre dinner drinks one night just so we could enjoy it. Very cosy and thoughtfully decorated and appointed. Most of us enjoyed the beautiful view whilst in the hot tub and our grandson loved the freedom of the adjoining field. We were able to have trips out each day with lots of places to visit with about an hour or so. A tiny even better would be to provide a few serving spoons as there were plenty of large serving dishes which were perfect for us. We had a super, family week and would have no hesitation in recommending the barn to others.

  The love and and attention to detail from Samantha and Jason has to be commended. This barn has been lovingly restored to a very high standard. We can not recommend it enough. It catered for a family of 8 with 3 generations perfectly, with beautifully decorated bedrooms and all en suite. We made use of the fantastic BBQ hut which enabled family time whilst the weather wasn’t too great. We loved the hot tub and the open plan living area. Crabbing in Apledore and visits to Exeter, Topsham and the quaint village of Clovelly were enjoyed. The owners live onsite and we’re extremely friendly and helpful. We had a lovely home cooked meal at the Mitre Inn (10 mins drive away).

• "We had a lovely stay and family holiday at lake view."

  It was a perfect place to relax and unwind and suited our mixed family group, including my 87 year old mum). The weather was very mixed but we still managed to enjoy the hot tub and bbq hut which was fun. Our dogs really enjoyed the garden and orchard at the cottage too - it was perfect for them to have a run around. One small point we all felt (probably because we spent more time at the cottage with my elderly mum) When the sun did come out it would have been nice to have some cushions for the outdoor dining chairs and maybe even an outdoor sofa? (there are two loungers but there were five of us). The open plan kitchen/diner/lounge was a gr8 social space and exactly what we wanted The three bedrooms we used were lovely - really comfy beds and all en-suite which was fab Samantha and Jason were really friendly hosts and nothing was too much trouble for them - they both made us feel very welcome

  What an amazing place. From the warm welcome on arrival and including for the dogs to the fabulous accommodation, we couldn't have asked for more. There was ample parking for 3 large cars. The kitchen was very well equipped with lots of nice touches. Pretty Jars of tea, coffee, dog treats etc, bottle of prosecco in the wine cooler and eggs and milk in the huge American style fridge freezer. 2 stairgates and high chair for the baby of the family were gratefully used. We enjoyed using the very large dining room table for buffets and games. Very comfortable sitting area with large flat screen TV with Sky, Netflix etc. Massive super king suite on the ground floor with very useful utility room adjoining with everything needed to launder the dirty dog towels and clothes. A very useful wet room by the front door to shower the dogs. Upstairs, 3 further en suite bedrooms. All the bathrooms were high end and beautiful. The beds were so comfortable and all the accessories and finishing touches were lovely. It felt like we were in a very luxurious, high end hotel. There were even toiletries left for us and ample, soft towels. The hot tub was amazing and got well used. We had a couple of pub lunches and dog walks which were great. I could go on and on singing the praises of this wonderful, rural, idyllic retreat and would highly recommend.

• "Lake view cottage is wonderful."

  We stayed for Christmas and New Year 21/22 and we were the very first people to stay in the house. Jason and Samantha have spent the last 2 years converting the barn into a rental property and have spared no expense in creating a brilliant home. We've rented lots of rental houses and have our own house in the Luberon but this was one of the most luxuriously furnished houses we've stayed in. They've thought of every last detail from a hot shower to wash the dogs to hotel-like soap and shampoo left for every guest to a really well equipped kitchen... we really couldn't fault it. We were 8 adults (our grown up family, their partners and dogs) and it felt perfect in size even though we were inside as it rained rather a lot! The Jacuzzi is brand new - as is everything else - and monster size. The owners have two dogs and are very dog friendly - with a mass of rugs available to protect any furniture. The house faces fields and feels v private with is own enclosed garden - the owners are in a separate house behind the barn but leave their renters entirely to themselves. In the case of issues, they couldn't be more friendly and helpful. It's a great area between Exmoor and Dartmoor: we went on lovely walks to both and the sea is about an hour away. We played golf on two fun courses. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Lake View; it really is a great house
