Fiddlesticks Reviews

Martin
Had a good week love the cottage bath needs to be replaced as it's a bit rusty and the shower pipe needs looking, the swimming pool needs to be open earlier and close later not 6pm other than that had a great time thanks
Anthony
Cottage was fantastic very clean . Bed was very comfortable. Few issues in bathroom. Beautiful lovely views in amazing place . Pool times need to be changed I think . Maybe 8 to 9 . Games room equipment needs updating . Highly recommend to stay.
Moya
Brilliant location about 15mins to the coast. Beautiful views! Decent size indoor warm swimming pool, playground and games room included. Great for the children. Our cottage was fine for a couple. Very comfortable and well appointed with virtually everything you would need in a rental. I struggle to say anything negative about it!
Marcus
Perhaps a little more bijou than we expected but a great location. Pool etc is a great bonus but the accommodation felt a little warn out
Robin
A comfortable and well equipped cottage, located close to Ilfracombe and other North Devon attractions. The swimming pool, sauna and jacuzzi were excellent and so close to the cottage. We would love to go back.

Me and my son had a great wee holiday, lovely place, great views, brilliant facilities and welcoming staff.

Theresa
Fabulous accommodation with everything though of. The pool and hot tub are a treat. Beautiful location with breathtaking views . It was just a bit too far to walk to the nearest pub otherwise absolutely perfect .
Andrea
An idyllic location for both couples and families alike. .Would thoroughly recommend
Rachel
Nice wee cottage - very cosy. Awesome location with great views. Good communal games room and pool/hot tub. Range of basic cooking utensils. Although its dog friendly we couldnt find a secure place (away from farm animals/horses) to walk dogs off the lead - a bit difficult with dogs who prefer to toilet off the lead. Also no info as to any routes o n the farm you could walk dogs on lead meaning we had to drive elsewhere to walk the dogs - not a big deal in N Devon but worth bearing in mind.
Sarah
Lovely cottage, perfect for the dogs really nice and quiet, and has the added bonus of an indoor pool, sauna and hot tub plus a games room. We loved our week here and would definately go back.
