Lily Pad Reviews

We really enjoyed our stay, the hot tub was lovely addition. The location is great and has lots of greenery. The host is friendly and accommodating. I would recommend this stay for a couples weekend away.

Graham

Excellent property, really well decorated and lovely and warm Good facilities, especially enjoyed the hot tub! Good location, good shops in Okehampton, next time would like to make use of railway station as it was so close

Terence

Had such a quiet relaxing break, could not find fault with anything even if I tried. Everything was perfect.

It was very nice and overall not at all dissapointed. Value for money. Excellent central location for visiting all areas of Devon. Wonderful and affable hosts. Access signage could be better. Hedge clearance especially emerging onto Station road would help access and parking could be improved. There's work in progress so maybe we are being picky. On the whole a nice quirky property that served us well. Just a few tweaks to the access would make all the difference.

Fantastic weekend away. Friendly welcome from Yvette, no fuss, straight forward introduction to the beautiful property and what it has to offer. Very clean and everything looks just like the photos. Canadian hot tub is real touch. Very helpful list emailed by Yvette suggesting local pubs, restaurants, bicycle hire etc. We got lucky with the 3 days of stunning sunshine, which really made it a weekend away to remember. We shall return.

Wonderful stay at Lily Pad, which is a really romantic place to stay. Loved the dcor and facilities especially the hot tub and the owners were always on hand to help. Okehampton has a really lovely park and great amenities for a small town e.g. cinema, great fish & chip shop Graylings, pubs etc. We could walk to the nearby railway station recently reopened after 50 years and looking like a preserved railway to have a fantastic cooked breakfast.

Bracken

Had the most magical stay in this beautiful cottage. everything you need, space, secluded but still near shops, pubs and people, beautiful cedar wood hot tub and lovely host. would 100 recommend this beautiful house.

Fantastic little cottage. It was perfect for what we needed. A little break on the edge of a little town. If youre feeling fit then the walk into oakhampton is ok. The walk back. May need a little extra energy. The cottage was clean and tidy. We loved the quirky feel with the wall paintings. It had everything we needed.

Claire

Hidden paradise in the forest. Despite being in Okehampton 10 min walk from center and pubs you feel totally in the forest, there is an old mansion, few cottages, a yurt and a tree house. We stayed in the cottage and it was full of character, with an old fireplace and attention to detail in the decoration by Yvette. It feels warms and comfortable, all equipped kitchen, modern bathroom with plenty of hot water, comfy bed in immaculate bedroom. Yvette was very welcoming and gave us a lot of advices on the best pubs and the moors. Its a fantastic location to explore Dartmoor national park and we did great hikes around the torrs and it has the conveniency of a small town with pubs and lovely Georgian shopping arcades. The Canadian hot tub was great to relax and warm up after a day hiking and you feel in the middle of nature, we loved it. Overall a marvelous retreat for a city break and getting closer to nature.
