• "Lovely stay, good location."

  Nice to have a small welcome pack though. A few teabags, coffee and some milk, there wasn't even any salt and pepper. .Room thermostat was a bit hit and miss, couldn't turn it down at all one night. Would come again though. Thanks.

  Hi Geoffrey, Thank you for your feedback. I am so sorry you didn’t receive your Welcome Pack. We do leave a couple of nice gifts for guests but it seems that there was an oversight during the changeover. I’m so sorry about this. Regards, Andrew Property Owner

• "A lovely cottage with stunning views over the estuary."

  We loved sitting watching the boats and playing on the beach with our granddaughter. Great base for visiting Exmouth and Topsham.

• "Lovely cottage in a delightful village."

  The cottage was well equipped, but the bedrooms lacked blackout curtains/blinds, so late sleeping was difficult. In the kitchen, a spatter guard for the frying pan and an extractor unit would have helped. Parking next to the cottage is difficult for a small car and impossible for a large car, but this was mentioned in the cottage information and it didn't spoil our stay. The landlord let us park on his carpark and also mentioned using the station carpark. We didn't use the car very much anyway, because the train service is great. We would definitely come again if only for the view of the estuary from the living room!

• "Great location have booked again for next year."

  Just a few cleanliness issues - blankets were covered in dog hairs and big stain on dining room carpet. Kitchen was very well equipped to which we cooked for a couple of nights. Would definitely recommend.

• "It was so good to arrive to find the cottage warm; so often a first job is to find the heating controls!"

  The cottage is well equipped and the position is just ideal, with wonderful views of the estuary and beautiful walks from the door.

  Wished I'd mentioned that I'm allergic to feather pillows, cushions and duvets but managed to get by. Would love to stay again

• "Wonderful stay in a lovely property in a beautiful village."

  Wasn't blessed with the weather but got one decent night sitting in the garden with a glass of wine overlooking the Exe. What ever the weather there's an ever changing view. The property was well equipped, comfortable, warm and very clean and lovely sitting in the lounge looking out over the estuary. The village is idyllic and great food at The Swan. The toilet seat in the bathroom was loose and the left side of the window in the top bedroom didn't open. Didn't spoil our stay though.

• "This is a delightful cottage in a pretty, peaceful village with stunning views, just yards from railway station - very clean, & bottle of wine & biscuits on arrival a nice touch."

  Swan Inn does excellent food, & handy village shop/PO - large M+S food @ Exmouth only 5 mins on train. However, double bed not at all comfortable, bad stains on downstairs carpets, only 1 set of keys, & no contact number for queries - nor could I get through to Sykes on phone, & no reply to email ☹️ - NOT a happy customer!!

  Dear Gina, Thank you for your feedback. I am so pleased you enjoyed the cottage and thank you mentioning how clean it was. We certainly get very good praise for our housekeeper who does an excellent job of keeping the cottage clean and tidy. And we agree it’s an amazing location, with the train line and cycle path directly accessible to explore the area. I am so sorry the guests before you left the carpet in a poor condition, a professional cleaner was booked as soon as we were made aware and the stain has been removed. The double bed is the memory foam type and quite new - many customers find the bed very comfortable but of course it will always be a personal opinion on this. I apologise that you were unable to contact our agent , and I will certainly feed back accordingly. We hope to see you again in our Lympstone cottage for your next stay in Devon. Best wishes, Andrew Property Owner

• "Very much enjoyed our stay ,the views are fantastic ,stairs are steep but you are told that in the information and it is an old cottage ,so this is to be expected."

  Well equipped with garden furniture and a sun shade ,books,games etc. Cottage hadn’t been serviced when we arrived,but this was quickly dealt with and we were financially compensated .

• "This is a delightful cottage with the most amazing outlook to the water edge."

  Access to drop off is narrow so not ideal for larger vehicles. Car parking is an added cost currently eight pounds for 24 hours. Ringo or cash for payment. Apparently a reduced cost permit can be obtained from Local Council before your visit. Perhaps more details of this can be added to the details for the visit. Carpark is also very busy at weekends. However, we had a wonderful visit (our 3rd time) and will certainly come back again.

• "The lack of car parking is a little inconvenient and the public car park only accepted cash."

  RingGo did not work and there was no card machine, but that is an issue for East Devon Council. Apart from that, the cottage was well equipped albeit rather hot in the roof conversion, which we did not use as the stairs were rather steep. An excellent location with a fantastic view across the estuary, a short walk to the convenience store, pubs and station. All in all, we were well impressed.

• "This is a spotless and very well equipped cottage in a great location in Lympstone."

  The kitchen had all the high quality equipment you would expect in a family home rather than a holiday rental which was surprising. The view from the cottage onto the estuary was just beautiful. It’s a perfect place to stay with children. We really enjoyed our week’s stay there over Christmas. I only wish there had been some festive decorations but we would certainly choose to stay there again.

• "Well located."

  Well stocked. Spotlessly clean. Lovely place and would return again. Only downside was the mattress in the main bedroom which we think needs replacing, but overall hard to fault!

  Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback and we are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay at 9 Harefield Cottages. The mattress you mentioned is a memory foam mattress which was purchased earlier this year. Such things are a matter of personal choice of course: other guests have found this to be really comfortable! Property Owner

  It was a really pretty place - well equipped and comfortable and the back garden had fabulous views across the River Exe. It is possible to swim / paddle board from here around high tide. Parking in the nearby public car park was straightforward. Would definitely go back!
