Lake View Reviews

This was a fabulous property. The location is excellent for trips to both Exmoor and Dartmoor. The property has been stylishly furnished with great attention to detail and Samantha has made the most fabulous curtains. They really do add a touch of luxury to the bedrooms. Samantha and Jason owners live on the farm and were very helpful and welcoming. It's a great location and property for a group of friends or a family group because you will find everything you need. The only thing I couldn't find in the kitchen was a bottle stopper there probably was one but it wasn't a problem because we just decided to drink all the wine. Problem solved.

Fantastic place to stay for families wonderful location stunning view, games ... Fantastic place to stay for families wonderful location stunning view, games room and hot tub went down a treat, and the bonus of a bbq house was the icing on the cake , lake view is beautiful decorated barn with everything you could wish for ,the owners Samantha and Jason were most welcoming and the welcome basket was the best we have ever had 5 thank you for a wonderful holiday

Caroline

The property was absolutely perfect. It was beautifully decorated with a lovely garden surrounded by countryside. The house was very clean and very well equipped. The owners had thought of everything. Samantha and Jason were always on hand if we needed anything and went above and beyond to help if required. Definitely the nicest property we have stayed in .

Geoffrey

Stunning house . Beautifully furnished. Plenty of room for all the family. The host of the property was so accommodating, welcoming and helpful. Nothing was to much trouble. The bbq house was a bonus, we really enjoyed spending time in there. The hot tub was regularly checked and cleaned. There are lots of places to visit and a lovely farm shop up the road. We would highly recommend Lake view for families and pets . There's also a games room to keep you entertained day or night .

The barn was lovely in a quite area,the owner was a lovely lady and very helpful, games room had plenty of space very enjoyable time was had by the whole family best wishes to all.

Perfect. Really enjoyed Lakeview, the facilities, the owners had thought of everything.

Very good property with a luxury feel and very accommodating owners who ensured we had a pleasant stay. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

Malcolm

We had a very pleasant stay apart from the weather. The hot tub and bbq hut were great fun and was enjoyed by all. Wellequipped and run by very helpful people. The only reason I have not given it five stars is because of the very slow broadband. Our 11 and 14 year old grandchildren were very frustrated as they are avid gamers as is the case with many children of their age. Download speeds of 5mbsec and upload speeds of 0.58 at times, as measured by us, is unacceptable and we will not be returning because of that.

Wonderful place to stay, everything you would need. Welcome basket was a lovely thought as well as the little touches. Owners could not of been more helpful & should be very proud of what they have created. The barbeque hut is very cute and the games room gave great nights of fun. Would recommend and will return.

The accommodation was 5 star the owners were very friendly and accommodating and we are hoping to return.

We had a great week staying in this absolutely gorgeous property it was equipped with absolutely everything you could ever need, all furniture and fiittings Were 5 star and so stylish. One of the very best things was the so lovely owners who live next door, they really made our time there so special, with goodies and a great welcome on arrival. It is in such a lovely spot in the countryside with a fabulous outlook onto darling sheep and lambs. Our dog made himself at home and enjoyed the garden and walks around the shared arboretum and down the little lane as well as a forestry commission visit and to Castle Drogo. Perfect stay for 3 generations together.

Beautiful property, perfect for a family or friends getaway. The house is set in lovely location, so quiet and peaceful and place to certainly relax! Great hosts who couldnt have done more to make our stay a memorable one!

Georgina

Lake view was amazing and the owner Samantha was so helpful, she gave us so much information on places to visit. On arrival there was was a wonderful tray with tea coffee sugar biscuits. The fridge was stocked with eggs milk and a bottle of Prosecco in the wine fridge. The cottage has everything you might need and I mean everything. This is a beautiful house, so well presented with the most gorgeous finishing touches. There are board games galore and toys for little ones. There are books to suit all tastes. The garden is brilliant and a great space for children and adults, it is gorgeous. I could go on all day and still not give all the positives, it is simply perfection.

Upon arrival the cottage was beautiful and clean although there was old dog poo left on the grass which I picked up as I didn't want my own dogs stepping in it. Initially the cottage gave us the wow factor which it is, although we had a few problems the hot tub didn't work properly, we had no hot water and little heating for 2 days and a leak coming through the ceiling from the shower. The owner seemed fine about this at the time and did rectify it bar the hot tub button. The views are beautiful and so is the cottage. These things happen so we were prepared to over look them, however we have now been back 2 weeks and now we are getting blamed for damages with the hot tub buttonfilter and blue marks on the seating which I didnt see. On the whole this cottage is beautiful and would of definitely returned if it wasn't for the accused damage. We have tried to contact the owner but we have had no reply.

Rachael

We had a fantastic stay at Lake View. The house is beautiful, very comfortable and well equipped. The setting is stunning, and the hot tub and games room were well used by us all. The welcome basket was such a lovely touch and the eggs amazing so much we bought 3 dozen to take home! Hosts were so lovely and friendly. We hope to be back very soon. Thank you.

We stayed as a party of eight adults and a small dog to celebrate a 30th birthday. As a family we have stayed in many self catering properties over the years, and we all agreed that Lake View was one of the best equipped we have ever rented. The little extra touches provided for our arrival were very thoughtful fresh local milk and eggs, a bottle of bubbly, scones with jam and cream, and even dog treats and dog waste bags . The prearrival directions Emailed before the holiday were clear and comprehensive, and the information folder provided in the property contained everything that we needed to know for a stress free holiday. The owners Samantha and Jason were friendly and helpful, and we were very touched by their thoughtful gesture of balloons, streamers and another bottle of bubbly laid out in the games room on our daughters birthday itself. The games room was a great addition to the property facilities, which was a bonus for us as it wasnt originally featured when we made the booking back in early 2003. Overall we would definitely recommend this property.

We had a lovely family weekend at the property. It was comfortable and cosy and everyone loved the hot tub and games room was a bonus even though a little chilly, but it was winter time. There were a couple of issues but they mentioned to the owners. All in all a lovely place to stay.

Debbie

Great attention to detail, had everything we needed in the kitchen and the extra touches tea, coffee, milk and scones etc toiletries and towelling robes for the hot tub were great.

Lovely property in rural countryside . Loved the hot tub one that actually fits in the number of people staying on site ! BBQ hut fabulous even in a winter break which we enjoyed on one evening . Twin room woule be better if zip and link for 4 couples and also better accessible plug points for ladies drying hair etc overall great week

Wow !! Fabulous & tastefully designed bard conversion . Cosy and spacious. Eight adults and our two dogs totally enjoyed the indoor and outdoor luxury. New games room, BBQ house, amazing !! The hot tub was ready and heated , coffee sugar milk etc all ready for after a long journey. Good or bad weather does not affect this place just gives you a great bit of comfort. Can't thank you enough for the amount of effort you put into making the place so fabulous for us to share. Thank you

Sharon

A lovely spacious property for our family gettogether. The owners, Samantha & Jason, were very welcoming. The hot tub was very clean and most inviting for a chilly October evening. The quirky BBQ hut was fun.

Elaine

Lake View is beautiful inside and out we returned this year as its not just a holiday let it is a holiday home with everything you could possibly need. Location is perfect to explore North and South Devon along with Cornwall if you fancy venturing a bit further. Owners are lovely and on hand if needed and due to the layout you have complete privacy. Hot tub and bbq hut are a must and spotlessly clean the owners are dog lovers and want people and their dogs to have the best time we will be returning in 2024 as it really is a special place to stay have stayed in various holiday cottages but Lake View is simply the best and knocks spots off of the rest so dont hesitate to book it !!!

Deborah

Lakeview definitely has the wow factor, we loved everything about it. From the fantastic warm welcome from Samantha, the provided bubbles, local eggs and milk to the comfy beds and delightful decor. Our highlights were the incredible hot tub and the magical fairy hut in which we had a cosy barbecue. No detail hasn't been beautiful executed. Thank you Samantha and Jason for a fabulous stay we would love to return.

Lakeview has the wow factor. We had a lovely welcome from Sam and Jason.The house is stunning and the location perfect.The interior is beautifully designed and very classy.The hot tub was wonderfully relaxing at night watching the stars with a glass of prosecco.The summer house reminded us of our times in Austria in the ski huts all cosy with little fairy lights. Plenty of places to visit...RHS Rosemoor..Quince honey Farm a session of bee keeping Fingle Bridge and N.T.Castle Drogo and many others.Wonderful hols.

Debbie

The holiday property was lovely, well set out and spacious. The owners left us some of their local produce which was a lovely touch. My niece's especially enjoyed the hot tub which was the highlight of the holiday. The only thing that would be a negative comment is the small country roads leading to and around the property, we found this quite a challenge in places, but once we were on the main A and B roads we we're fine. All in all, we can confirm that we had a lovely family holiday at the property and would like to thank the owners for such a warm welcome.

Thank you for our lovely welcome and making us feel at home from the start, Samantha. The thoughtfully left welcome goodies which included some for the dog, were really kind gesture along with the way the barn was set up. It was really comfortable and not at all cramped for 8 of us. We loved being able to sit and eat and play games both inside and outside. We called the bbq shed a fairy house and although we didnt need to use it because the weather was fine, we did sit in it and have pre dinner drinks one night just so we could enjoy it. Very cosy and thoughtfully decorated and appointed. Most of us enjoyed the beautiful view whilst in the hot tub and our grandson loved the freedom of the adjoining field. We were able to have trips out each day with lots of places to visit with about an hour or so. A tiny even better would be to provide a few serving spoons as there were plenty of large serving dishes which were perfect for us. We had a super, family week and would have no hesitation in recommending the barn to others.

Victoria

Just returned from a week staying in this beautiful cottage. The love and and attention to detail from Samantha and Jason has to be commended. This barn has been lovingly restored to a very high standard. We can not recommend it enough. It catered for a family of 8 with 3 generations perfectly, with beautifully decorated bedrooms and all en suite. We made use of the fantastic BBQ hut which enabled family time whilst the weather wasnt too great. We loved the hot tub and the open plan living area. Crabbing in Apledore and visits to Exeter, Topsham and the quaint village of Clovelly were enjoyed. The owners live onsite and were extremely friendly and helpful. We had a lovely home cooked meal at the Mitre Inn 10 mins drive away.

Caroline

We had a wonderful stay. They were incredibly accommodating to our family bbq and we enjoyed the rest of the week soaking in the hot tub and slumping in the sun. A very nice holiday home that we would totally recommend.

Really comfortable, clean house in a beautiful peaceful setting. Although we didnt use the BBQ hut as we had amazing weather, it looks lovely! Hot tub was big and very clean. Rural location with lots of wildlife. Would definitely recommend

Sam & Jason were wonderful hosts. Lake View is absolutely gorgeous. If you are looking for some peace and quiet in a beautiful setting then this is the place you need. We had a perfect stay the weather helped as the sun was shining all week. The house is very well equipped and the decor is fabulous with a few quirky touches to make you smile. The hot tub was a treat and the BBQ hut was great fun. All in all one of the best properties we have stayed in.

Spotlessly clean, great hosts, everything one could want, comfy beds, beautiful views would highly recommend .

Gordon

Lovely property and owners. We had a fantastic Christmas and New Year

Lake view is absolutely amazing, this is our second visit and were already planning our next trip back. Jason and Samantha really have thought of everything and the house is so comfortable and luxurious. The BBQ hut is a new addition since our last visit and definitely didnt disappoint, we spent a wet winters evening, cosied up inside cooking lovely food and it really was just the cherry on top of a perfect stay for us. thank you so much to you both we cant wait to come back again!

Timothy

Excellent property, wonderfully finished throughout. Lovely location, despite the weather during our week. The barbecue hut was a major bonus, we loved using it. Loads of games, jigsaws, books all of which are brilliant when it's pouring down.

Delightful barn conversion. Excellent facilities, welcoming & attentive hosts . Fabulous area to unwind & relax with many walks & fishing lake near by. Highly recommended!

Elaine

The property is just perfect in every way the owners are absolutely lovely there if you need them otherwise totally private. We have stayed in several holiday lets but this is by far one of the best we have stayed in as its so homely and has everything you need. The only fault if you could call it that was having to leave!!!
