June 2024

“This is a lovely holiday property, as we knew it would be, having stayed in a similar house on the same small estate of holiday homes.”

It was very clean and comfortable, stylishly furnished, and had everything you could possibly need for your stay. We love this particular part of North Devon, with lovely views of the sea (easy to walk to) and golf course, plus access to places like Barnstaple, Bideford, RHS Rosemore, and several great beaches, such as Woolacombe, Croyde bay and Saunton Sands. We may hope to stay again one day in the future.

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, and we are pleased you enjoyed your stay at Devonair. We do all we can to make our guests comfortable, and it's really encouraging to receive such positive feedback. We hope to welcome you again soon. Property Owner
David June 2024

“Overall a positive and enjoyable experience.”

Ideal for two people or a family. We had issues with door locking mechanisms and sticking cistern inlet valve. Salt and pepper mills would have been appreciated.

- David, June 2024

Thank you for your lovely feedback. And thank you for taking the time to telephone me so that I could explain that you were trying to open the wrong patio door to the back garden, and guide you to which door handle to press. I sensed your embarrassment when you read aloud the sign by the handles on the doors, saying "please open this patio door first". I was also able to guide you to the silver button on the top of the ceramic toilet cistern which operates the flush. Unfortunately, hygiene restrictions mean that we cannot leave food or condiments for successive guests to to share. It was lovely to chat with you and to hear what an amazing time you were having, and how impressed you were with our beautiful home. We hope to welcome you back very soon. Property Owner

Jane May 2024

“This property was a delight, well situated for shops and restaurants, very comfortable beds, great showers and lovely views.”

Very quiet situation with a short walk to the beach resort or the other way to the golf club, who were very welcoming and where we enjoyed more fantastic views across to the sea. Would definitely book again as there is so much to do in North Devon.

- Jane, May 2024

Thank you for your lovely feedback and we are delighted that you enjoyed a good night's sleep in the Hypnos beds. We hope to welcome you back soon. Property Owner
Irene May 2024

“The house was very comfortable, well equipped and really clean.”

It is in a good location to get to Westward Ho by bus or walk. It was a good base for us to explore North Devon. There was only slight traffic noise in the back but otherwise very quiet. The owners left us a lovely cream tea and milk as a welcome which was very much appreciated. Would definitely recommend.

- Irene, May 2024

Thank you for the lovely feedback. Our cleaner will be very appreciative of your kind comments re cleanliness. We are delighted you enjoyed the cream tea on arrival after a long journey. The property backs onto green open space, and a hawthorn hedge and we are pleased that you found it to be very peaceful. We hope to welcome you back soon. Property Owner
Tom April 2024

“Perfectly located, a short walk into Westward Ho!”

centre and views across Northam Burrows. Excellent walks without use of car and easy access to North Devon coast and attractions. The house is very well equipped and comfortable a great place to be based. Excellent directions and initial info, highly recommended.

Fiona October 2023

“Devonair is the perfect house if you don’t want to keep getting in the car.”

Easy walks to the beach, golf course, shops and restaurants - e.g. the Atlantic fish bar does wonderful fish and chips and the Pig on the Beach serves really tasty hand made pizzas. The house itself is warm and very well-equipped with the best shower we’ve ever had in a rental. Lovely touch was finding a Devon cream tea in the fridge on our arrival and a bag of dog treats plus tennis ball for our four legged friend. We’d highly recommend this house and location - we’ll be back!!

- Fiona, October 2023
Rosemary October 2023

“Excellent property, well equipped with good quality furnishings and kitchen equipment, and sparkling clean.”

Lovely comfortable mattress. Just one little niggle, we couldn't understand why in October the towel rail in the bathroom wasn't connected to come on. It was a pain trying to dry our towels especially on the last two days when there was no sun and it was raining. A serving bowl would have been nice only a very large glass fruit bowl. We had a really nice week the weather was kind and we got out and about. We got to access point to the beach from the toll road looked over the top and decided it wasn't an option, we are both in our 80's and didn't want to risk a fall on the slippery rocks! We did do the Baggy Point walk from the National Trust car park. Our cockapoo thoroughly enjoyed the beaches.

- Rosemary, October 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback about the cleaning standards and the Hypnos Mattresses. We invested in the best mattresses available when we furnished Devonair so that our guests can enjoy a wonderful night's sleep. The heated towel rails to each en-suite bathroom are operated by pressing the button immediately below each towel rail. We have now added this explanation into the guest information file. We hope to welcome you back to Devonair soon... Property Owner
Dean September 2023

“Really lovely property (very warm”

- Dean, September 2023

Thank you for your kind feedback. The house was built in 2020 and is super-insulated, which maintains an ambient temperature all year around - cool in the summer and warm in the winter. We look forward to welcoming you back to Devonair. Property Owner
Louise July 2023

“The property is in a great location close to the beach and seafront with arcades, go karts, crazy golf and plenty of places to eat which are dog friendly.”

I had twin boys 13 so they loved all the arcades and activities available. The accommodation was clean, cosy and everything was provided to what you need. The owners had left us scones and cream with a doggy bag for our pooch which was lovely. The beds were very comfortable and we loved the upstairs living with a lovely view from your balcony which we loved sitting on when the weather was dry. We had a issue with the DVD player I messaged the owner and he responded and tried to help which was great. Thanks for a lovely stay we would definitely recommend to friends and family.

- Louise, July 2023

We are so pleased you had a wonderful stay at Devonair. We leave a selection of DVDs for guests to view on any rainy Devon days. We always encourage guests to contact us if we can do anything to make their stay more comfortable. Thank you for calling us so that we could talk you through the DVD player controls. And finally, we are delighted you loved the Hypnos beds and mattresses. Property Owner
Lynette July 2023

“Wonderful holiday, cottage had everything you needed.”

Situated in nice area within 15 minute walk of sea front, and Westwood Ho! Was a lovely tranquil seaside area with some stunning views and wonderful places to get food. We visited several local areas and attractions.

- Lynette, July 2023
Samantha June 2023

“Lovely house to stay in overall was well equipped and had everything we needed.”

The layout was upside down which I get due to the views you have from the balcony. However in the bedroom downstairs you could hear everything upstairs. The only access to the back garden for the dog was through the bedroom so once someone was in bed it was a nightmare letting dog out for the toilet.

- Samantha, June 2023

Thank you for your kind comments about the sea views. Rear garden access is provided through the patio doors and the conveniently located side gate. There is a large communal grass area to the front of the property which guests tend to take their pooch out onto, when they need the toilet. You'll understand that not all Devonair guests are pet owners, so it's preferable to use the public space for this purpose, rather than use our beautiful little garden as a dog latrine. We are not dog owners, and bought Devonair as our family holiday home, and when we started welcoming guests, it never occurred to us that they would allow their pets to use our garden as a toilet. Now that you've brought it to our attention, we have decided to go completely ‘pet free' from 2024. Apologies to other respectful regular visitors who have a pooch, but we just can't bear the thought of our beautiful garden being abused in this way. Regarding your comments re noise, the house was a newbuild property in 2020 with AAA rated insulation and sound proofing. When we go into someone else’s home we always take our shoes off - we have to assume that you were walking around our beautiful home with your shoes on, which is very disappointing. Property Owner
Linda June 2023

“We enjoyed our stay at Devonair very much.”

The house was very comfortable and had everything you need for a self-catering holiday. We loved sitting on the balcony in the afternoon sunshine. The cream tea that welcomed us was a great touch, as was the bag of dog treats for our cockapoo. We would recommend to our family and friends.

- Linda, June 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback, and we are pleased you had a wonderful holiday. Property Owner
Tracey June 2023

“Excellent property in terms of facilities, cleanliness and comfort.”

Only a few minor points to make 1) Provide a pedestal fan as the upper floor does get quite hot on a hot day even with the windows open 2) the garden backs onto a bus stop over the hedge - did get a bit noisy on the Saturday night.

- Tracey, June 2023

Thank you for the excellent feedback about cleanliness. Our housekeeper is an absolute godsend, and works so hard to give our guests an amazing experience. We are pleased you enjoyed some warm weather during your stay. When we stay in Devonair, we love to open the balcony doors and the kitchen windows and enjoy the sea breeze. To be honest, we don't think an electric fan could improve on the Devon fresh air. With regard to the rowdy people waiting for the bus, you were incredibly unlucky. Very few people ever use the bus stop, and there are two buses an hour, so hopefully they weren't there too long, and your Saturday evening returned to peace and tranquillity as soon as they had departed. We hope this brief encounter didn't spoil your holiday - you were so lucky to have a whole week of unbroken Devon sunshine. We look forward to welcoming you back to our beautiful home, soon.

Melanie April 2023

“Beautiful accommodation in a lovely location.”

- Melanie, April 2023
Chris April 2023

“Devonair is a beautiful townhouse situated in a lovely cul-de-sac with space for a car right outside which is a bonus.”

The location is really nice as far enough away from Westward Ho to avoid crowds but close enough to walk in to the seafront in around 20 mins all on the flat. We were pleasantly surprised by the cream tea, tea and coffee supplied. Its upside down living with a spacious open lounge and kitchen upstairs. The balcony is really lovely to sit out on and we enjoyed lots of time sitting out there. However there isn't much of a view and you are directly opposite other townhouses. The downside being that if a loud party are enjoying time on their balcony at the same time it maybe difficult to relax. The place was really clean, comfortable and modern in its furnishings. Included is a few games and books to keep you entertained if weather isn't the best. There is a lovely private garden to the rear which we were also able to enjoy until one day when a large group arrived and blasted music whilst enjoying the hot tub next door! Its good though if you have a dog and includes a few little bits in a box for them. The kitchen was well equipped with good quality crockery, cutlery, pots and pans etc for cooking your own meals but personally just could have done with some basic supplies. Empty Salt and pepper mills were in the cupboard and there was no oil for cooking. Also the guest book was completed by previous guests stating they had broken the can opener which wasn't replaced so we had to buy one. The only heating was underfloor and this was fairly easy to control however when we wanted to change the temperature it did take quite a while to cool down or heat up. The towel rail in the bathroom never heated up so when we came out of the shower it was cold and we couldn't dry the towels so could have done with the heated towel rail or a little fan heater for instant heat when needed. Also for the price would have been nice if shower gels etc were supplied. We only used the double bedroom which had good storage. The bed was comfy with nice quality linen and it was great having a TV in there too. It has a nice size twin room too although we did notice a damp smell in that en suite. We did try to attempt the short cut to the beach through the estate via the golf course and burrows but it was very boggy so we gave up. I imagine it would be nice to walk across when its dry in the summer. Westward Ho is a lovely small seaside town with the most amazing large beach and a handful of restaurants and pubs. We also find it an excellent base for visiting lots of beaches within 30 to 40 minutes drive in Devon and Cornwall. Both Barnstaple and Bideford are close by for shopping and other dining out options. This place is such a great home to stay in and feels more upmarket than some of the other places so we would happily return and despite minor issues which really are just personal preferences we would recommended it to others. Book and you won't be disappointed with your stay. Just one final point take a look in the information booklet which day the window cleaner is due as they took us by surprise early one morning!

- Chris, April 2023

Thank you for the feedback and for giving us a 100% feedback score. We are always grateful when guests raise concerns so we can put things right. For this reason our housekeeper always rings every guest on arrival to make sure everything is ok, and would gladly have attended to these points, including replacing the can opener. 1st April to 30th September is our summer season, and the heated towel rails are switched off during this period to reduce our carbon footprint. We do provide a fully integrated washing machine, a washing line and two clothes horses for you convenience. Thank you for all of the positive comments, and we are pleased you had a wonderful stay in our beautiful home. Property Owner
Sue March 2023

“Lovely house and Comfortable stay, with a well equipped kitchen Ideal location for many great places to visit.”

We did find the bedroom backing onto a Bus Stop and busy road quite noisy though and wasn’t expecting that !

- Sue, March 2023

Thank you for giving Devonair a score of 100% in your feedback. It is really appreciated. With regard to your comments - behind the property there is green open space and a natural hawthorn hedge in which you’ll find birds nesting. Most guests leave lovely comments to say how nice and peaceful the location is, given the property is detached from the hustle and bustle of Westward Ho!, and they also comment on the pleasant walk into town, along Golf Links Road. As the name of the road suggests, Golf Links Road leads down to the historic golf course. (The Royal North Devon Golf Club has the oldest Links golf course in England). The buses are infrequent, and the bus only stops in this area if some is waiting. We hope you enjoyed the beautiful views out to sea, and to Lundy Island, and we hope to welcome you back to Devonair again soon. Property Owner
Nick February 2023

“It was great.”

Plenty of room and really clean and decluttered. We will book it again if we come that way again. Really excellent.

- Nick, February 2023
Anne October 2022

“It was lovely after our long drive to get there to walk in and find a fab cream tea.”

Devonair was immaculate and so comfortable. The flip of having the two bedrooms, each with ensuite, on the ground floor and the open plan lounge/diner/kitchen on the upper level was perfect for our needs. Devonair was convenient for walks over the Northam Burrows and the South West Coastal Path from the Pier Head. We had great weather and great walks: Hartland Qay was spectacular. Lynmouth was beautiful and the food at the Boathouse in Instow was delicious.

- Anne, October 2022
Keith September 2022

“A fantastic home from home.”

Loved the cream tea welcome pack plus the dog treats for Jake our miniature schnauzer. Property was spotlessly clean and perfect for our week away. Hopefully we will return soon.

- Keith, September 2022
Dennis September 2022

“The property is well managed by dedicated owners.”

The house is clean, comfortable with every amenity. The house is a walkable distance from the beach and town with plenty of cafes and restaurants to eat and drink. Would definitely stay again.

- Dennis, September 2022
Linda August 2022

“If we could offer more than a 10 rating we would.”

Immaculately clean and equipped well beyond our expectations, staying in Devonair with the delightful town facilities of Westward Ho! a very short stride away, has has help to some create some very happy holiday memories for us and our two grandchildren .

- Linda, August 2022
Mark July 2022

“Fantastic property!”

A home from home, everything you good wish for. Lovely touch with the Doggy welcome pack. Super clean throughout, in a nice location for Westward Ho! and other locations in Devon

- Mark, July 2022
Claire May 2022

“The house was beautifully clean and equipped with everything you could need.”

We loved sitting on the balcony watching the golf course and beach - although you can see right into the house over the road. My dog and I struggled with the stair carpet due to the colour and depth perception, but that was the only problem we had. The furniture and bed were very comfy and overall it was a wonderful place to stay.

- Claire, May 2022
Allie May 2022

“Beautiful property and loved the upstairs living room area.”

Had a lovely relaxing week.

- Allie, May 2022
Suriya April 2022

“Immaculately presented property with comfortable beds and a safe enclosed garden ideal for our dog.”

Provision of "mud daddy" which was useful and a hose made for easy cleaning of our dog. A well equipped kitchen with useful printed information on all electrical appliances etc. Constant hot water and parking as stated. 20 minute walk to beach across private access gate and then onto golf course/toll road to beach. Beautiful sandy beach accessed by pebble ridge which was a challenge but we managed it and we are in our seventies! Nearby Tesco Express and good take away fish and chippy. Easy access to all beautiful points in North Devon in particular Hartland Point, Heddon Mouth, Branscombe Woods and Tarka Trail not forgetting Saunton Sands through Broughton sand dunes. Definitely recommend this property.

- Suriya, April 2022
Rebecca April 2022

“What a gorgeous house in a fabulous location.”

The house has lovely views from the balcony, perfect for the evening and the garden is a little sun trap, perfect for the morning coffee before heading out. So much to see and do in the area, and the beach, surf school, town are all a short flat walk away. We’ve been coming to North Devon for the last 18 years and this is the cleanest holiday home we’ve ever rented and was one of the best holidays we’ve ever had in Devon. Highly recommended.

- Rebecca, April 2022
Euan April 2022

“Excellent Host, who was very attentive and solved any problems almost immediately.”

Lovely very clean house with almost everything you could possibly need for a holiday. Addition of a Hot Tub would be fantastic. And super dog friendly!

- Euan, April 2022
Melvin March 2022

- Keith, August 2021
Iain August 2021

“A lovely ‘upside’ down house in a great location with good access to the beach and town centre.”

House has everything you could possibly need and was exceptionally clean and well presented. Would highly recommend it!

- Iain, August 2021
Peter August 2021

“This place definitely exceeded our expectations and one of the best things was the wonderful views over the the sea, which were even better than on the photos.”

Very clean and modern accommodation with some lovely touches to make it feel welcoming. It really felt like our home for a week!

- Peter, August 2021
Jane June 2021

“This is a really lovely property.”

It has everything you would need and it is very stylish. It really felt like home. We had a very minor issue and the owner was very responsive and the matter was resolved. The location of the property is great for exploring the local area but also close to amenities so that you can easily dine out in the evening. The property allows dogs but you would not know it. I say that from a very positive perspective. There are no signs or aromas to give previous dogs away but there was a lovely welcome pack for our dog. I would highly recommend this property and would definitely stay there again. I would add that I think Sykes Cottages have handled us, as customers, exceedingly well during the pandemic and are now our first choice when looking for holiday accommodation. Thank you.

- Jane, June 2021
Lyn May 2021

“This holiday was the best that we have experienced with Sykes.”

The house was stunning, made our holiday having so much space to enjoy our family stay. On this occasion we found the holiday accommodation to be accurate to the description.

- Lyn, May 2021
Paul May 2021

“We had a lovely time.”

The house was very comfortable and well appointed with lovely touches such as the supply of portable barbecues. It was a shame that the weather did not cooperate but it did not spoil our enjoyment.

- Paul, May 2021
Anne October 2020

“Wonderful holiday at Devonair .”

The house is outstanding and all our needs were met . Lovely surprise to have on arrival the Devonshire cream tea ,thank you ! We found the beach at Westward Ho rather rocky and difficult to get on to ,both of us are pensioners. Then 10 minutes down the road was Instow a firm favourite and also for my dog Mr.Darcy .The little beach shack is a must for delicious fresh fish finger baps .( The glorious oyster ) We would love to return.

- Anne, October 2020
Michael September 2020

“What a lovely place Devonair is , with all you need with great views from the upstairs living room, it is very well equipped with all you want and need.”

Would recommend and are very likely to revisit, there are lots of places around to see and see again. 5 stars

Graham September 2020

“Everything you could want, clean, welcome pack (Afternoon Tea plus doggy bag) - highly recommend”

- Graham, September 2020
David August 2020

“The holiday house was lovely.”

We are very familiar with the area so knew exactly the location of the development. We thought the “doggy” present for our pet was a very nice touch, and the cream tea was very thoughtful. Parking for 2 vehicles was right outside the property which was a bonus. The house was very well equipped, especially if you like to cook for yourself, and the “Mud Doctor” (shower for the dog) was great, we hadn’t come across one of these before and hope to purchase one ourselves! We would definitely recommend Devonair especially if you bring your dog, ours slept like a baby!!

- David, August 2020
Christina August 2020

“Devonair was one of the best holiday homes I have stayed in, it was so clean and the equipment, cooker, washing machine, dishwasher and fridge freezer made for a good holiday.”

The nice touches like afternoon tea, scones, jam and cream left for us to have on arrival were very appreciated. The only disappointment was it was not close enough to the beach to walk there, the advertisement and photos of devonair made the beach look closer!!

- Christina, August 2020

Thank you for your feedback. Guests can walk to the beach via a private footpath, which is for the exclusive use of Greenway Drive occupants. It can be accessed by the 5-bar gate on the sea facing side of the development. We carry our surfboards down to the beach, via the private footpath, every day when we are in occupation. We agree that it would be a longer walk if you go around by the road, rather than across the footpath. We have now detailed how to access the footpath in our information guide within Devonair, for the benefit of future guests. Property Owner

Both of the bedrooms benefit from ample storage for your personal belongings in their built-in wardrobes, as well as a lovely spot to rest your head in a luxurious Hypnos bed for a great night’s sleep.

And in the morning to refresh, with both of the stylish en-suite shower rooms offering the ultimate tranquil spot for a refreshing shower.

Take the stairs up to the first floor to be met by the incredibly bright and airy open-plan living space; open up the balcony doors to let in the fresh coastal air, a wonderful spot to enjoy alfresco dining, with the assistance of the sleek and impressive kitchen holding every essential need, with plenty of preparation space to concoct your favourite meals.

With access to Exmoor National Park and a whole host of waterfront attractions, Devonair is wonderfully positioned for exploring the best of coast and countryside of Devon.
