“The perfect home!”

Extremely clean and spacious, with comfortable beds and a great kitchen/diner. The decor was fabulous, all the thought that has been put in regarding rugs, clean towels and the nautical touches really made it feel like a relaxing coastal break. We plan to book again soon!

Roger June 2024

“A lovely spacious modern house, spotlessly clean and comfortable with every home convenience you are likely to need.”

The owners have obviously gone to a lot of trouble to ensure their guests have an enjoyable stay including a very nice welcome pack on arrival. Bideford is an excellent base for exploring North Devon and the Tara Trail. Many thanks Liz and Paul for a lovely week.

- Roger, June 2024

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Woodside and visiting the surrounding area and we hope to welcome you back very soon. Property Owner
Jean May 2024

“Lovely spacious house in a convenient position for town, coast and countryside.”

Very well maintained with everything you need for comfort. The only very small problem we had was trying to understand the recycling and refuse collections. There seems to be conflicting advice in the information folder which I think needs updating and clarifying. Other than that our holiday was perfect! We'll definitely be back!

- Jean, May 2024

Many thanks for the lovely feedback, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Woodside. We have recently updated the refuse/recycling information but will recheck it. Property Owner
Michael October 2023

Many thanks for your feedback, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Carole October 2023

“Woodside is a beautiful home, with everything you would need for your perfect holiday.”

Very clean and welcoming. The beds extremely comfortable. This house is a credit to its owners. We highly recommend it. Although we drove from Dorset, we did not need to use it during our stay, as the buses stopped very close to the house. So many places to visit. The icing on the cake was, we were so lucky with the weather. Thank you for the perfect break.

- Carole, October 2023

Thank you so much for your super feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and that the weather stayed fine for your holiday. Property Owner
Paul September 2023

“We enjoyed our stay has it was like being home from home, it had every you needed except providing you own food.”

it was clean, comfortable and well presented.

- Paul, September 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely comments. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Woodside and hope you will consider staying at our holiday home again soon. Property Owner
Carol September 2023

“In general very pleased with the property .”

We mainly ate out but thought the microwave badly required an upgrade and the bed would have been better had it been a Kingsize with a firmer mattress.

- Carol, September 2023

Thank you for your feedback, it is appreciated, we are very pleased you enjoyed your stay at Woodside. We describe the bedroom as a double and the firmness of a mattress is naturally personal choice, but we have found that most guests prefer a medium comfort mattress which we have tried to provide. The microwave is the same as the one we have at home because we have always found it to be good. Property Owner
Alison July 2023

“The house was clean and well equipped with everything you could want.”

It was in an excellent location close to many attractions. I would certainly recommend it.

- Alison, July 2023

Michael June 2023

“The house we rented was modern, clean and spacious with a lawned area to the back.”

There was a good welcome pack and the kitchen was well equipped and packed with an abundance of crockery along with a dishwasher. In fact you would be hard pressed, to find anything missing that you needed. The house is well placed for visiting anywhere in North Devon and Cornwall.

- Michael, June 2023

Thank you so much for your review, we do appreciate it and are delighted you had a lovely holiday. Property Owner

David April 2023

“'Woodside' is without doubt the best holiday let we have been to.”

Paul and Elizabeth Davis have thought carefully about what holiday makers need and should be congratulated. We have wanted for nothing. The house is spotlessly clean, tastefully furnished and decorated and feels as new. The welcome pack was a delicious bonus! Being just off the A39 Atlantic Highway it is ideally located for exploring the north Devon coast from Lynton and Lynmouth in the north down to Bude in Cornwall in the south.

- David, April 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Woodside and visiting the surrounding area and hope to welcome you back to stay at our holiday home soon. Property Owner
Hannah April 2023

“Another wonderful stay at Woodside.”

Since our first visit, we have returned every year and can’t beat the accommodation. It is ideally situated, beautifully decorated and amazingly equipped with little added extras too! There isn’t anything that hasn’t been thought of. I highly recommend this holiday property.

- Hannah, April 2023

Thank you so much for your super feedback. We are delighted that you choose to visit and enjoy Woodside each year and we look forward to welcoming you back next in 2024. Property Owner

“This property is very clean and with every comfort and an excellent kitchen / diner and sitting room in a quiet residential street walking distance from Bideford.”

We walked the South West Coast Path loop from the house and the bus goes down the nearby road. Louise and Andrew

- Andrew, November 2022

Thank you so much for your feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Woodside and explored the beautiful coastline nearby. Property Owner

- Wendy, October 2022
Linda September 2022

“Using Sykes many time, I would say this property “Woodside” Bideford Devon has been the best so far.”

It was wonderful. Everything was thought of. The kitchen is amazing. The lounge is a perfect time. A truly home from home experience. Bedrooms all a good size. Everything so clean, bathrooms brilliant.

A great deal of thought had gone into making it a holiday cottage with that home from home feeling. It was well equipped with everything we might have needed during our stay .

“Fantastic holiday let.”

A real home from home with everything you would need. Off road parking for 2 cars and private enclosed (safe) garden. Exceptionally clean. Great location. Excellent communication prior to our visit with the friendly owners. Could not fault it in any way and would definitely recommend the property to anyone visiting the area.

- Sue, August 2022

Thank you for your kind feedback, we are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Woodside is our family’s holiday home and we are delighted that guests enjoy it as much as we do. Property Owner
Denise June 2022

“Everything we needed.”

Very nice house & well equipped. Very comfortable. Enjoyed staying there. The teenagers found the single beds quite hard. Sore backs & they didn’t sleep well. The bedroom curtains didn't keep the streetlight light out of rooms whilst sleeping. So the house seemed to bright at night.

- Denise, June 2022

Thank you for review, it is appreciated. We are sorry you found the single beds a little hard, we have mattress toppers on the beds but will of course take another look at this. We also added a layer to the curtains last year, the street lights do automatically turn off late at night. We are pleased that you found the house well equipped and very comfortable and you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Lorraine June 2022

“Such a lovely house.”

Everything anyone would need is there plus more. Spotlessly clean and well equipped. Quiet location but close to everything and great park for children. People complain about the recycling set up but they couldn’t explain it any clearer and is straight forward when you look at it. Really can’t fault this properly and hope to return one day

- Lorraine, June 2022

Thank you for your lovely review, we really do appreciate it. We are so pleased you enjoyed your holiday to Woodside and the surrounding area and hope to welcome you back to Woodside and beautiful north Devon very soon. Property Owner
Geoff April 2022

“A lovely property set in a quiet estate position.”

Very, very clean and tidy. Everything you could want and expect to complete your stay was provided, and things were explained clearly with signage where appropriate, and within the property's folder etc. Even the Broadband service was excellent! We will definitely be recommending the property to our friends. Thank you!

- Geoff, April 2022

Thank you for your super feedback. We are so happy you enjoyed your holiday to Woodside. We’ve recently upgraded the WiFi and are very pleased it worked well. We hope to welcome you back here soon. Property Owner

Victoria September 2021

“Woodside was a lovely home from home.”

It was absolutely spotless with lovely pictures and ornaments dotted about. It was comfortable and very well equipped with useful 'how to' notes. Well placed with lots of places to visit. Would thoroughly recommend.

- Victoria, September 2021
V August 2021

“Perfect house, clean and well equipped.”

The best house we have ever rented. So much to do in the area within a few minutes drive. Westward Ho! beach has everything you could wish for, sands, rock pools, lido. Lots of activities in the area for all ages. Crab fishing at Appledore and Bideford was popular with our grandson. Just wish it wasn't so far from where we live it or we would be back regularly.

- V, August 2021
Liz July 2021

“We really enjoyed staying at Woodside.”

As others have mentioned it is very clean, although there was a rubber duck in the bath that was full of mouldy water! The house is full of little nick nacks (wooden boats, flowers in vases etc.) which is so lovely but is a bit of a problem when you have a 2 year old! I promptly had to gather everything up and hide it to avoid breakages. As others have mentioned it would be nice if there were blackout curtains, or at least thicker ones as the rooms are so light! Also, during our stay there was, what can only be described as a concert, with super loud music and people shouting. This, along with the heat and very strong manure smell (unusually strong!) it did put a damper on our Saturday night! That being said, I wish more places were this clean and well equipped. Despite all the little things we had a lovely time and I would definitely recommend!

- Liz, July 2021

Thank you for your review of Woodside, we are so pleased you found our holiday home clean and tidy and that you would recommend it. Unfortunately we were unaware of the problem with the rubber duck ornament in the bathroom and will of course remove it. We want all our guests to feel welcome and comfortable during their stay and believe a few decorative ornaments add to Woodside's home from home atmosphere and so apologise that these may have caused any problems. The area is surrounded by beautiful countryside and we can only presume the manure smell came from a farm and the distant music may have been from Devon's family attraction The Big Sheep - we have not been made aware of these issues before and are very sorry if they affected your stay in any way. Property Owner
Norma June 2021

“Gorgeous house lovely location could have done with blackout blinds in bedrooms”

- Norma, June 2021
Trevor May 2021

“The house was as advertised and expected.”

It had all essentials and many extras. A nice welcome box and an enjoyable holiday despite the weather! We would recommend.

- Trevor, May 2021
Mandy April 2021

“Woodside Bideford is by far the best self catering house / cottage, we have stayed in, it certainly exceeded our expectations.”

It was spotlessly clean, a lovely welcome pack for our arrival was provided . There was nothing the owners had not thought of,. it was home from home. Some earlier comments had mentioned about the property being on a housing estate, we found this to be no problem in fact we found it to be very quiet and very nice. We hope to be back in the future if we can ? it does seem well booked up for some time to come.

- Mandy, April 2021
George September 2020

“We did not realise that the house was in a middle of a housing estate, with no local shop which you could pop to ,eg for milk.”

You deffinately needed a car. We did feel that the covid requirements were met.

- George, September 2020

Thank you so much for staying at Woodside, we are glad that you enjoyed your stay. The property is advertised as being located in a residential area, and the shop is advertised as being around 1.2 miles from the property. We are sorry if you had missed this information. We are glad you found the property clean as we do our utmost to ensure this during these difficult times. Property Owner
Tim September 2020

“Woodside was one of the most comfortable, spotlessly clean, warm and spaciouscottages we have visited over a number of years in various self catering accommodation.”

Very close to a variety of lovely beaches (Instow, Westward Ho,Saunton Sands) RHS Rosemoor and lots of activities for the whole family.. We have no hesitation in recommending Woodside to those seeking quality accommodation.

- Tim, September 2020
Jane July 2020

“What a wonderful, well-equipped, spotless, modern and beautifully decorated property.”

We can thoroughly recommend it. It was spotlessly clean and we felt like we had walked into a brand new home. It offered everything we look for in a holiday property, and more...Fantastic kitchen, modern ensuite and bathroom with plenty of hot water and powerful showers. Spacious bedrooms and a cosy lounge. Paul and Liz have thought of everything and the Welcome Pack of chocolates, biscuits, fudge, orange juice and milk was a lovely and much-appreciated touch. Plenty of tea towels, washing liquid, sponges and cloths and dishwasher tabs so you don't have to bring your own too. Communication with Paul and Liz was excellent and they did everything they could to make us feel welcome and to ensure we had a wonderful stay. The property is the perfect base for exploring Bideford, Bude, Clovelly, Woollacombe, the Tarka Trail. Our favourite outings included a trip to Clovelly where we went mackeral fishing and had to stop fishing after 10-15 minutes as we had a bucketful to bake for our tea. If we had taken fishing nets, we could have caught buckets ful of whitebait too. We recommend hiring bikes in Torrington and going along the beautiful Tarka trail to Bideford and beyond....We went to Barnstable and bac (32 miles) along the coast. Simply beautiful. Safe for kids too as you are on tracks rather than roads. We also thoroughly recommend going to the Westleigh Inn in Bideford. Lovely views out to see, a spacious beer garden and play area and fabulous food! We would thoroughly recommend staying at Paul and Liz's beautiful holiday home. You won't be disappointed.

- Jane, July 2020
Janice September 2019

“Excellent holiday home, very clean and modern with everything we needed.”

- Janice, September 2019
Colette August 2019

“Woodside lived up to its promise and we all enjoyed our week in North Devon.”

The house is in tip top condition, very comfortable and has everything needed for a relaxing holiday for all ages (the owners have truly thought of everything). We could walk into Bideford easily from the house and especially loved the Pannier Market. We hired bikes and explored the Tarka trail refuelling in the excellent John's Deli in Instow and cycling nearly to Torrington in the other direction, a great way to see the beautiful countryside. We managed to see a great deal of Devon and Cornwall visiting Westward Ho! Appledore, Tintagel, Bude, Brixham and Torquay as well whilst catching up with friends and family! We all agreed that Woodside offered great value for money as it really felt like a lovely home from home. The weather was great too and so all in all a thoroughly enjoyable holiday. Already planning for next year!

- Colette, August 2019
Sabrina July 2019

“Fantastic holiday home.”

Lovely welcome hamper on arrival...including treats,milk,tea/coffee and cake! Very well looked after house with a lovely garden and seating area. Stayed here for 1 week (commencing 19th july) with my husband and 3 girls and we were lucky with the weather as it was red hot! Beach very close by which was a plus. Would definitely recoment to all my friends and family

- Sabrina, July 2019
Dawn Ann July 2019

- Brenda, September 2018
Frances August 2018

“Yes,the property was very modern and well presented, comfortable and clean but as two adults my son and I felt it was geared towards a family as there are plenty of toys and dvds for children but nothing for grownups!”

Perhaps this should be made clear in the information.

- Frances, August 2018

We are always delighted when guests choose Woodside for their holiday in North Devon and we welcome and take seriously all guest feedback regarding their stay. Whilst we do offer a small assortment of toys and dvds for young children, as well as a range of board games, we will certainly look at adding a couple more board games and a selection of dvds for grown ups too.

- Hilary, August 2018
Beryl July 2018

“Woodside cottage is a well thought out and beautifully furnished.”

It was a pleasure to live in as it had everything anyone could want in a home. The garden was an added bonus as the weather was good and we could sit outside whenever we wanted. It is a great base for exploring Devon and Cornwall and we visited loads of interesting places. The handbooks for visitors was very comprehensive and apart from all the useful advice on the property and contents it also listed places to dine and local attractions. Altogether we had a great time at Woodside and would recommend it to anyone.

- Beryl, July 2018
