Paul August 2024

“The cottage was beautiful.”

The views were as well, especially the sunsets. Just a pity there was no mention of the road to get to the cottasge and the potholes.

- Paul, August 2024
Colin August 2024

“Again a lovely stay in a great location.”

Great for getting to lots of places around north Devon. Especially the tarka valley railway(puffin billy restaurant for breakfast) Dartington crystal just on the doorstep And a short car journey to the beach at Westwood Ho! Ticked all the boxes for us A really nice cottage to come back to after great days out.

- Colin, August 2024
Ann July 2024

“A beautifully appointed cottage with stunning views over the countryside of North Devon.”

Spotlessly clean and environmentally aware. Very quiet and peaceful. Some lovely places within easy reach. Warm welcome from Ann and Phil, the property owners. Well recommended if you want to get away from it all.

- Ann, July 2024
Lorraine July 2024

“We absolutely loved our stay at Lundy View cottage.”

It was clean, very well stocked with everything we needed. It was warm and comfortable. We enjoyed the quiet and slept really well. Seeing the wildlife out the window was a bonus; a deer, rabbits, a cute weasel and the best a friendly pheasant called Tilly! Lastly the hosts were lovely and friendly. Definitely a place I would come back to.

“"The house was great, amazing views and location.”

" Lovely cottage well equipped, upside down living at it's best with amazing views to watch all the wildlife from the upstairs windows. All facilities were clean. Phil and Ann very welcoming. It was a fantastic base to explore the surrounding areas and also just for a chill out in the garden. Would definitely recommend staying here.

- Stephen, June 2024
Maureen May 2024

“The house was delightful.”

Upside down living at its best. Lovely spot with rabbits , sheep, a partridge and hare to watch from the window. All facilities were clean. Good size fridge and freezer. Beds very comfy. Plenty of hot water, and easy to use showers.

- Maureen, May 2024
Chris October 2023

“We are two old dears with two bikes.”

Nothing was too much trouble. We were allowed to leave our bikes in the garage and given a key for access. The cottage was spotless and the view fantastic. The weather was good too although I guess the owners can't take credit for that. Everything we needed was to hand and clear instructions left in the lounge. I am pleased to report that the 1000 piece motor vehicle jigsaw is intact with no missing pieces, although it did take rather a long time to do. Thank you for a wonderful week. Paul and Chris.

- Chris, October 2023

“Absolutely lovely!”

Only drawback, never did manage to connect to wifi!

- Lynda, January 2023

Sorry our guest had a problem but since seeing the review the Wi-Fi has been checked and no problem found so suspect user error, this could have been remedied if we were asked to assist. Property Owner
Sarah August 2022

“We had a fantastic week at Lundy View cottage.”

Lovely cottage well equipped and amazing views and setting. Phil and Ann very welcoming. It was a fantastic base to explore the surrounding areas and also just for a chill out day in the garden. Would definitely recommend staying here.

- Sarah, August 2022
Cheryl June 2022

“As we are two friends in our mid/late seventies we felt that as neither the shower or bath had non slip services then nonslip mats should have been provided.”

Also, I was unable to use the bath, as there was not a holding rail on either the bath or wall, with lower back problems I would have been unable to get out of the bath. A mirror in the twin room would have been a good facility and we didn't see either a fire extinguisher or fire blanket. But we enjoyed our stay and the facilities around the area. Many thanks We

- Cheryl, June 2022

Ray March 2022

“After settling into the property, Phil knocked at the door to give us a warm welcome and give us information about appliances.”

The cottage has everything you require. Comfortable settees and beds, a cooker that’s easy to use with all utensils, nice bathrooms with hot water. The views are spectacular from watching the sheep in the field to the horizon some 20 miles away. If you require peace and quiet and just relax then this for you. Thank you Phil and Anne.

- Ray, March 2022
Morris March 2022

Julie December 2021

“Lundy Cottage was in the perfect location for all that we wanted to visit in this part of North Devon.”

The cottage had wonderful views that we could enjoy because of the upside down arrangement. We were able to prepare all the meals we wanted in the well equipped kitchen. The bedroom accommodation was comfortable and the en-suite and bathroom clean with plenty of hot water.

- Julie, December 2021
Matthew October 2021

“An absolutely beautiful cottage.”

This cottage is absolutely stunning. The owners provided everything needed for a relaxing holiday. It was spotlessly clean, and the beds were comfortable. The cottage was more than I had hoped for and it truly is rural giving lots of peace and quiet. The views from the upside down living area give wonderful views across the countryside. It is perfectly located to travel, the beaches at Croyde or Woolacombe not to far away, and plenty of local walks too to see the stunning scenery. Every effort was made to ensure we had all we needed. I would recommend this cottage to all unreservedly.

- Matthew, October 2021
Cathy September 2021

“The cottage is an upside down house and is absolutely beautiful.”

- Cathy, September 2021

“This is a lovely property set.”

In glorious countryside and not far from a small town and within easy reach of the coast. The property was spotless and the owners were charming and helpful.. The cottage is semi detached so ideal if two families want to holiday together side by side. Would recommend this one.

- Wendy, August 2021
Jenny July 2021

Peter May 2021

“We had the pleasure of staying for a week at Lundy View Cottage in mid May this year.”

The cottage is located just north of Torrington and has wonderful views over gently rolling countryside with sheep and lambs in the field beyond the cottage. Lundy view is very clean and well appointed with everything you are likely to need together with many extras such as DVDs, books and games. The owners, Phil and Ann, are very friendly and helpful and added to the overall experience. There is plenty to see and do in the area and we would heartily recommend this holiday cottage to anyone who wishes to visit North Devon. Thank you Phil and Ann. Mo & Peter, May 2021

Sandra September 2019

“Having rented out our property with Sykes for 3 seasons, until we moved in ourselves in March, we knew what we should expect and were not disappointed in any way.”

Thank you to the property owners for providing us with a spotlessly clean, comfortable cottage. The ideal base from which to enjoy visiting friends in the area.

- Sandra, September 2019
Claire September 2019

“This cottage is situated in the heart of the North Devon countryside.”

Located on a single track lane a few miles outside Torrington this upside down accommodation has beautiful views over the surrounding fields and hills but is only a short drive from key points of interest with Bideford, Instow, Appledore, Barnstaple, Ilfracombe and the beaches of Staunton, Croyde, Woolacombe etc. within easy driving distance. Ideal for a quiet, relaxing break. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and maintained to a high standard. Very comfortable. It would have benefitted from handgrips in the bathroom as the shower was positioned over a wide, deep bath which would be challenging for the less agile. The water was slow to drain so it was quite slippy when trying to step out of the bath. Some decent hangers in the wardrobes rather than the limited number of mismatched plastic ones would also be good. If you are looking for a tranquil stay in a quiet and peaceful location this is the place for you.

- Claire, September 2019
Simon August 2019

“Cottage was perfect and very lucky to find it for a short last minute break.”

- Simon, August 2019
David July 2019

“We received a very warm welcome from the owners and nothing was too much trouble.”

The cottage was beautiful finished to a very high standard, everything we needed was there. Which is not always the case? They have paid great attention to detail and it shows. With the living accommodation on the first floor the views are stunning with fantastic sun sets who could ask for more. We had a fantastic week. Thank you.

- David, July 2019
Alex July 2019

“Lundy View at Higher Darracott Farm is a well-equipped and comfortable cottage with beautiful views.”

It is peaceful and quiet being 2.5 miles from Torrington. The owners, Phil and Anne are cheerful and helpful. I would highly recommend this cottage as a base for exploring North Devon, or just to relax in the gentle countryside.

- Alex, July 2019
Malcolm June 2019

“It was a lovely cottage”

- Malcolm, June 2019
Edith May 2019

“The houses and surroundings were excellent, a short drive to Great Torrington which is a lovely little market town.”

a must see is Rosemoor gardens again about a 10min drive you can spend most of the day walking around these wonderful gardens. owner was a very nice man very helpful. only thing i would say is that the name of the houses misleads you into thinking you can see lundy island well you cant .

- Edith, May 2019

Anna October 2016

“A most attractive holiday cottage, very well furnished with top of the range kitchen equipment, lighting, heating etc.”

Everything spotless and in perfect working order. Lovely quiet situation-needs a bit of finding!, Very helpful owner living on site, nothing too much trouble, homebaked scones and cream tea on arrival!, central heating on all the time, hot water ditto. A good position to get to the north coast of Devon and Dartmoor and the south coast is only a half hour drive away. The factory and shop of Dartington glassware is on the way down to Torrington, just 10 minutes away. the only reason for saying that we would not choose to rebook is that we always plan to visit a different area but we have recommended it to family and friends.

- Anna, October 2016
