  • "Lovely property well equipped we enjoyed our stay the hot tub a bonus after being out walking all day."

    We had everything we needed. Would have preferred the lounge area on the 1st floor like Otter which is the property next door as sometimes the kitchen felt a bit small yet lots of wasted space upstairs. Overall though really happy with our stay we take our dogs away at least 3/4 times a year and use Skye cottages a lot.

  • "A really, really fabulous cottage."

    ..you have got the flow of it just right. Every night we came back from a full day holidaying it felt like coming home. So comfy and warm, well kitted out and well presented. Both my wife and I said if we could, we'd like to lift it to anywhere in the country we stay in future. Thank you for a great holiday, (despite the grey weather at times)... we're jealous of the incoming occupiers!

  • "We had a great week at Seagrass."

    The welcoming pack for the family and dog were excellent. The hot tub made a great addition. When we had been on a long walk or bike ride it was nice to relax in when we got back to the cottage. The facilities were good and the cottage had everything you need. The upstairs area came in real handy when the weather wasn't great so you can play table football or board games while you wait for the weather to improve. With shops only 5 minutes away it is in a great location as well. When we arrived however there were quite a few cobwebs that we had to brush/hoover away in the living room and the pillows in the double room could do with renewing as they had lost there softness and were quite flat. Even with these couple of slight issues we would definitely go back and stay again.

  • "We enjoyed our stay here, but be aware that to get to the property you have to drive up a very steep hill which has blind corners which makes it interesting drive when you meet oncoming traffic, although having said that the road is quiet most of the time."

    Actual property was great in that it had a private fully enclosed garden ideal for our dog. Hot tub and games room were great. Property could have done with a bit of a better clean. TV is quite small but wasn’t really an issue for us. A couple of extra comfy seats in living room would have been ideal. Great location in that it is only a short drive to westward Ho beach where we went surfing most days. Pizzas were amazing at the Pig any Olive. Beach was nice any quiet and absolutely huge space to take the dog north of the lifeguard tower when the tide isn’t in. Also had a lovely coastal walk from Woolacombe (the one listed in the visitors book) we saw seals swimming in the water and basking on the rocks. Overall a very nice stay.

  • "Fantastic house and has everything you need for a comfortable enjoyable stay."

    Our teenagers loved the games room in the loft area and we all enjoyed the hot tub! The enclosed garden space was perfect for our energetic dog. The location is perfect to get to Westward Ho beach in about 25 minutes which is a lovely beach as long as you’re mobile enough to get over the cobbled stone wall first and Ilfracombe only half hour away where we took a fabulous speedboat trip. We found a gem of a hotel 5 mins away in Appledore - Durrant hotel I think it was called. They do lovely food and staff are very friendly and helpful it’s dog friendly! Really enjoyed our stay at Seagrass and will be back but just a couple of things would have made it a 10 all round for us, we feel for 4 plus people an extra comfy chair in lounge area or foot stools or pufe would make it more comfortable. There is just 1 TV in lounge which is very small, films we watched in the evening had tops of heads missing!
