"Absolutely stunning views from the cottage."
Patio area needed a tidy up, weeding and general clean. Bed was very comfortable. A few items needed updating (oven gloves, tea towels, patio furniture, glasses ) Not sure why but the whole cottage had flies and spiders everywhere, not the usual amount that you'd expect. We had to buy fly spray and dust cobwebs away. As said previously, views were stunning but we had to move a set of steps ladders that were leant up against one of the lounge windows obscuring the view. I had to cut back a thorny rose type plant that was creeping across the patio and over the table and bench. I was worried about my dogs paws. We had lovely weather but we didn't sit out once as it all seemed scruffy and unloved. Such a shame. Steps up to the cottage were also covered in weeds, it just needed a little TLC. Could be beautiful as location was stunning. But sadly we won't be returning.
I am sorry that the garden wasn’t as tidy as it normally is. The person who looks after it had gone into hospital unexpectedly and we were unaware. The summer growth has now been tamed and the garden is back to its full glory. Property Owner

"Fabulous cottage."
This cottage could be five stars but a few things let it down. The kitchen wasn’t great and could have been better equipped and cleaner. Bedrooms were fine, bed was comfortable but so low down and difficult to walk around lack of space. Definite lack off basic necessities. Really! one toilet roll, no loo brush and we were promised one and it never appeared couldn’t fine an iron which was found locked away in a cupboard with a code lock. Not even any salt or bin liners We had to find a shop and stock up on basics that other cottages have provided as essentials. Oven had blown a fuse so we couldn’t cook our planned meal until it was fixed the following day. The owner did apologise but no offer of compensation. Not even a cheap packet of biscuits to have with our cup of tea.
Thank you for your feedback. I tried very hard to resolve your issues as a matter of urgency when you were at my cottage. I was at the end of the phone helping you and giving you advice when you wanted to know anything. I always leave tea, coffee, sugar, milk and packets of biscuits to all guests. There are always a few bin liners, salt, dishwasher tablets, couple of toilet rolls- things to get you started on your self catering holiday. I tried my very best to give you an enjoyable stay in my cottage. Property Owner

"Potters Cottage is lovely and the views spectacular but the access steps and position in the village would make it difficult for anyone with small children or mobility issues."
Great for the fit and healthy. On arrival the name plaque is difficult to see from a car but it’s next to the telegraph pole. Make sure you do not drive too far down in your car
Thank you for your review. Glad you enjoyed the cottage and the amazing views. Property Owner

The property
Set in an elevated position in the idyllic town of Lynton, Devon is Potters Cottage, a charming holiday let, ideal for friends or a couple to get away to the coast.
With sea and beach views, a garden, and a trendy yet homely open-plan living space, this cottage is an ideal base for exploring and relaxing.
Climb the steps up to the courtyard, fit with seating for your morning cuppa with a view of the beach and over to Dartmouth, before stepping into the open-plan space.
Here, you can make the most of your quality time with a slightly raised kitchen equipped with all you could need for a self-catering stay including a dishwasher and cooker, and a sitting and dining area with a toasty woodburning stove to enjoy in the cooler months.
Upstairs, find a shower room, complete with a bath and shower over, where you can prepare for a day of coastal walks with your group.
When it’s time to get some rest, a double room and a twin room, both with lovely sea views, offer a place to rest your head before another adventurous day out.
You will be less than one mile from the beach and your local amenities so popping out for dinner and a drink followed by a stroll along the water could be a nightly occurrence.
For a spot of culture, the Lyn and Exmoor Museum is also within easy reach, along with the quaint Lyn Model Train station.
Be sure to visit the National Trust's Watersmeet, a unique attraction with water features, fit for a calming walk one afternoon, or perhaps challenge yourself to reach the Valley of Rocks for yet more stunning views.
Further afield, Exmoor Zoological and Conservation Centre makes a fun-filled day out for animal lovers of all ages, while for a more historic attraction, Arlington Court and the National Trust Carriage Museum can also be reached by a short car journey.
Along the coast, the popular Ilfracombe is worth a visit, home to an aquarium and Tunnels beaches, the iconic, picture-perfect spot for sunbathing in the warmer months.
A walkers and hikers paradise dubbed “the walking capital of Exmoor’, Lynton’s position within the National Park means you are able to walk straight from the front door of Potters Cottage, with access to several miles of footpaths and tracks.
Explore the Moors, find the South West Coast path or the Tarka Trail, or stop in Lynton and Lynmouth to reward your exertions with a tasty lunch or dinner at the many varied dog friendly eateries.
If you fancy buying a gift or something to aid your walking, Lynton and Lynmouth also have a wide selection of small independent shops, then stroll on the beach and wander along the small Harbour before eating your fish and chips.
A lovely cottage in a prime location, choose Potters Cottage.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
