“On first apperance the interior was lovely,But white furniture and pale grey carpets, plus torrential weather and 2 wet dogs did not make for a restful week.”

For a family it would be ideal,sadly not for us. Also having to put wellies on to empty the bins was not much fun.l

“The property was lovely.”

Very well equipped and comfortable. The only thing that let it down was the site of the farm which was very messy and the bins were overflowing. Also the neighbours dogs came into the garden coming under the fence. As we have a puppy we were wary of letting her out alone and had to cover the space at the bottom of the gate. Such a shame we had only 1 dry day out of 7, this meant we couldn’t appreciate the beauty of the site and its surroundings.

“Arriving with a toddler, had to pick up all the dog mess in the garden which was disappointing.”

The photos of the cottage location are misleading. The photos suggest that it's on it's own, surrounded by fields (which is what we were looking for) when in fact right outside the garden you're directly overlooked by several other neighbours. Overall we had a nice stay, but these things were disappointing.

“Great cottage.”

Fantastic location. Really clean and good for dog we had with us. Enclosed garden space and great walks locally.

“Fabulous cottage we really loved the location and all the facilities there.”

Cottage was super clean and tidy loved the kitchen had all we needed bed was super comfy and nice to have the big sofa to stretch out on after long days walking. The only down side was some of the properties adjacent were carrying out building work which was very noisy at times when we have had this for months at home and thought we would have peace and quiet on holiday but it didn't affect our stay too much. We also felt the patio/sitting out area could do with some improvement to make it a bit more of an attractive place for couples to sit and have a drink of an evening but also only a small detail. Lovely places to visit nearby we went to the donkey sanctuary, Sidmouth, Beer, Branscombe and Budleigh Salterton. Also visited the otter pub a few times which had a lovely beer garden. Thanks for a lovely weeks stay.

“This was a beautiful property and we were thrilled with how clean and cosy it was!”

We were looking for somewhere to stay close to a wedding venue and our only regret is that we didn't book our stay for long enough! We were very sad to leave! We'll certainly be booking another stay with you in the future! The travel cot, toddler sleeping bag and crockery were a pleasant surprise, along with the dvds, books and toys. I thought the bee mugs were adorable. Thank you!

- Helena, June 2024

Thank you Helena, so glad you had a lovely stay. Anna Xx Property Owner

“Rose Cottage is a wonderful, "chocolate box" picture of thatch and stone, set in the peaceful countryside just outside of Honiton in Devon.”

Our first impression of the house was that it was spotlessly clean and well maintained. There were many facilities and useful, practical tools available if you had forgotten to bring everything from home! There was plenty of space for our family of 4 (and two dogs!) as well as parking just outside of the front door and a small patch of lawn in the fenced-off garden. The owner, Anna, was very helpful on arrival and could not have been more welcoming. We will be booking to return to this beautiful part of the world very soon.

- Neil, May 2024

Thanks Neil, so happy you had a nice stay and got some sunshine while you were in Devon! Anna Property Owner

We would love to visit again!

Susan May 2024

“Very spacious cottage.”

Very clean & tidy. Exactly what we were looking for & central for visiting the local area. Perfect for a young family as had cot, high hair, books & toys & plastic bowls, cups & cutlery. Albeit we had a 26 & 23 year old with us & they found the twin bed mattresses quite hard but this is personal choice. We were staying there due to attending a wedding at Deer Park and this cottage was very handy. Otter Inn down the road was excellent too.

Thanks Susan, glad you enjoyed your stay :) Property Owner

“Property was great but you don't need to email me 50 times for one stay.”

I've unsubscribed from your emails multiple times but you still persist. Stop emailing me!

“The cottage was in a lovely spot, and away from the roads.”

The place itself was much larger than we had expected - great for our two kids. It was also spotlessly clean, and had all the essentials ready (even the coffee machine had been filled with beans!). It's in a great spot, in a really lovely area. We had an excellent weekend here, and highly recommend it. We hope to be back next year!

Thanks Alex, so glad you guys had a nice time at Rose Cottage. Anna Property Owner

“Rose Cottage was a perfect stay.”

I have stayed at 3 Sykes properties in 2023 and this has to be the best by far. I booked last minutes over xmas on my own with my Dog due to going through a difficult times I needed to get away and find calmness. Rose Cottage did not disappoint. Kitchen had everything was able to cook each night and relax with my fur baby on the sofa. Rooms are very spacious, clean and tidy. Bed was very comfy best peaceful sleep I have had in a long time. Garden was perfect for my little dog he loves being outside. He was so happy at the cottage and could see he was relaxed and happy which is what we both needed. Thank you Anna x

- Rebecca, December 2023

Hi Rebecca, so glad you liked staying at Rose Cottage. I definitely think it’s got some magic ✨ about it so I’m so glad you found some calm there. You’re welcome to stay again anytime ❤️ Anna X Property Owner
Caroline December 2023

“Nice cottage in a rural area.”

The heating was set to 14 and 7 degrees when we arrived. So it was a bit cold at the beginning. The remote control for the heating was in the room next to the bathroom and was initially covered by rags. A curtain in front of the entrance door would be great. There is a bit of a draught through the door. We visited many of the beaches recommended by Anna in her booklet. Communication with Anna went smoothly.

- Caroline, December 2023

Hi Caroline, The heating is on a schedule. It goes between a comfort and an eco mode between waking hours (between 14 and 21 degrees) If a rad was on 7 it’s because it’s surplus to requirement and just keeping damp off the wall it’s on. The cottage is hundreds of years old, so has very thick walls and a thatch roof so I find it’s actually thermally very effective and cosy most of the time, the remote is above the water tank as I’d rather controls be left as they’ve been set. When I visited to check the cottage after your feedback most of the rads were set to 24 constantly which I would have found too warm, especially in a bedroom. I think you’ll feel a draft through most doors if stood next to it but will consider the curtain. I actually removed it as I wasn’t happy from a safety / risk exit perspective. I would also disagree with the ratings on cleanliness and comfort. As discussed on our text exchange glass wear and cutlery we expect previous guests to leave as it’s found but on occasion this may not be the case, we really have no control over that but make every effort to keep standards high and everything as I’d like to find a rental property myself. Maybe for your next stay in Devon you might look at the Pig at Combe or Salutation inn. They do start at £300 a night but I think will be more in line with your expectations. Property Owner

“Great week in a lovely cottage in a very nice part of the country.”

Ideal base for exploring the area.

- Ann, October 2023

Thanks Ann, glad you enjoyed Rose Cottage :) Property Owner
Michael October 2023

“We found Rose cottage to be very spacious, comfortable, clean and tidy.”

It was well appointed and there were plenty of consumable cleaning materials available if required. Overall the property was lovely and ideally situated for exploring the nearby Jurassic Coast with the quaint villages and impressive shoreline. The fenced off private garden was ideal for allowing our dogs to be let outside and enjoy the sunshine. We did have an issue where our older dog who was undergoing some treatments took a turn for the worse so we decided to return home for 2 days to be seen by her vet and have scans and x rays taken. On notifying Anna, the owner of the cottage, that we would be away for a day or two she was very understanding and helpful in recommending a local vet and if she could help in any other way. So overall, the cottage and location were ideal and Anna was very helpful when required. We thoroughly recommend the cottage.

- Michael, October 2023

Hi Michael, So glad you enjoyed your time at the cottage. We are dog lovers in the South West so hate to hear about any poorly pups! Hope to have you stay again some time. Anna Property Owner
Paul September 2023

“We loved Rose Cottage, very tastefully furnished and much bigger than expected.”

Great location for exploring this part of Devon. Close to Honiton for shops and surrounded by good restaurants. Would definitely come again if in the area and recommend to friends.

- Paul, September 2023

Thanks Paul. So glad you enjoyed your stay! Property Owner
Elizabeth September 2023

“We all had a lovely stay at Rose Cottage despite the weather.”

It had everything that we needed for a relaxing few days away. The beds were very comfortable. Everything was clean and maintained. A properly dog safe garden. Highly recommend.

- Elizabeth, September 2023

I’m so glad you had a nice time, was worried as the weather wasn’t great but if you look there’s always something to do in Devon. ❤️ Come see us again. Anna X Property Owner
Ernest August 2023

“The cottage was spotless and the location quiet but within easy reach of major tourist towns.”

A most enjoyable week in a most clean and comfortable cottage .

Thank you! You are very welcome back any time (and you can put the heating on!) Property Owner
Michael August 2023

“Downstairs toilet seat not fitted properly.”

Upstairs toilet not cleaned. No can opener, had to buy one. No teapot, only very small teapot for loose tea, but no loose tea, Only 4 mugs, no teacups. Coffee machine, no instructions how to use. Could not use outside seating or have windows open, very loud music from nearby property until after midnight.

- Michael, August 2023

Hi Micheal, sorry to hear you weren’t completely happy. I’m always on the end of a text and happy to jump into action asap. I hadn’t been aware of the toilet seat but it has now been adjusted. The kitchen is pretty well stocked for a small cottage and there was definitely a can opener when we first opened but a replacement has been now put in. I’ll speak to the housekeeper but again I do pay a premium to have someone with years of industry service who I trust implicitly. Not much I can do about the music but again if you’d have let me know I’m on a what’s app group with other residents and could have flagged to ask them to turn it down (they are also a really friendly bunch so sure they would of obliged. Hope you enjoyed your stay in Devon. Regards. Property Owner

“Lovely clean , spacious and well equipped cottage in a rural location.”

- Colin, July 2023

Thanks Colin. Hope to have you stay again Property Owner
John July 2023

“The property was nicely presented and very clean and comfortable.”

Child gates permanently fixed on the stairs are great for families with toddlers but adults without children like ourselves might find them a bit of a irritation but I guess only if you are using the stairs regularly through the day. We just propped them open. A small price to pay for an otherwise lovely two bedroom cottage in a nice farm based location . We’d certainly use it again

- John, July 2023

Thanks John, glad you enjoyed staying at Rose Cottage. Plenty more to do and place to explore! Anna Property Owner
