We had a fantastic time at the outlook it clean and comfortable with all the amenities you need for a base to explore summerset secure garden was ideal for keeping our dog safe and the hot tub was a luxurious bonus
The only minus points we felt that the WiFi needs attention and the outlook could do with updating in the décor
But apart from them small points we had a great break away and relaxed holiday

"Our third stay at the Outlook and we had another wonderful holiday."
The accommodation is spotlessly clean and spacious. The Outlook is situated down a very quiet country lane with stunning views across to Exmoor and is perfect for a relaxing break, but there are plenty of places to visit just a short drive away. Sitting in the hot tub at the end of the day watching the sunset is heavenly. We will definitely be back again!

The peace and quiet was fantastic and the views stunning! We all deeply enjoyed the hot tub and home cooked meals. While some may have wanted better Internet connection, we found it fun to spend quality time together playing games and watching films as a family to unwind in the evening. Plenty of things to do in the area and would recommend the Zootropica for visitors.

"The location was great and most of the cottage facilities were good, but there were some annoying problems."
The WiFi connection was very bad - our phones kept being disconnected and the TV connection to Netflix etc was impossible as it wouldn't stay connected.
The oven didn't work (the knob seemed broken) so we only had use of the grill.
In the main shower the head was too high and it was impossible to move (the piping came away when we tried) - this is annoying when someone of my wife's height (4' 11") wanted to shower but not wash her hair.
The outside light by the back door didn't work.
The radiators downstairs leaked.
There was a continuous awful smell from, we believe, the oil tank and this permeated into the downstairs bedroom
The owner did visit us but he only seemed interested in showing us the hot tub despite us saying we were not going to use it.
It would be hard for the living room to comfortably sit 7 people even though the property is advertised for that amount.
What was good was the location, the fenced in area for the dog, and the cleanliness of the property.
This does seem like very negative feedback but we did enjoy our stay and these are relatively minor issues that could easily be addressed by the owner.

"Lovely and comfortable property with very good-sized bedrooms (we had 2 travel cots in one of them and still felt there was plenty of room)."
The stair gate at the bottom of the stairs was also very handy given that we had 2 toddlers in the party. Kitchen was well-equipped although on the small side. The hot tub was an excellent bonus feature of the stay.
The listing states that there is a washing machine but there isn't one (might have come in useful for several days away with 2 toddlers and a newborn).
Did get told off by the owner when our parents dropped by to see their children and grandchildren and share a meal with us, which somewhat negatively impacted the stay.
Unfortunately the holiday cottage is insured for seven guest only.
It would have been appreciated if we had been contacted regarding this issue of additional guest.
Glad you enjoyed your stay and sorry there was no washing machine there never has been one this is a mistake on Sykes web site

"Lovely property."
Andy was very helpful and available if needed. Excellent cafe (The Rocking Horse) at the end of the lane. Great steam railway in the local village that we used several times to get to places rather than driving.
The property itself was fantastic. We asked Andy if he could move the beds around to suit our requirements which he happily did before our arrival. Fantastic views. The hot tub, garden and bbq were a welcome addition.
Only a couple of suggestions - a better mirror in the en-suite bathroom, and a mirror in the downstairs bedroom would have been useful, as well as some shelving in the shower to put all your stuff on rather than putting it on the floor. I think there should also have been a hair dryer in the downstairs bedroom but that was missing.
Minor gripe, there is a livery stables next to the property so quite a lot of coming and going, cars driving to and from, but on the upside it was lovely to be able to watch the horses in the field! All in all we had a wonderful, relaxing holiday, and I would highly recommend this property.
