2nd time we have been stayed in thd hayloft lovely cottage plenty of room for a family of 6 and our dog as dog friendly. Everything you need comfortable clean and fenced garden overlooking sheep. Lovely covered swimming pool never busy and great games room for the kids and adults too. Aiden is very accommodating and very helpful. 10mins drive to combe Martin and not much further to ilfracombe or lynton and Lynmouth. Would highly recommend and will definitely return. Thanks for a lovely stay.
We received no check in details before our arrival and the only information came after we asked our host how we get into the property. No details were given about whether we could park outside the property or whether to use the car park we encountered on arrival. The road was closed getting to the house. We received no notification of this and eventually found a local builder to drive us to a place where the road was open and we could reach the property. We arrived in good time in plenty of light but by the time we found a way to bypass the road closure it was pitch black at the house. In the dark conditions I scratched my car wheels against a wall, a really bad start to the holiday which could have been avoided by decent information from the host.
The property itself was nice with most things catered for. The house has a shared pool but there seems to be no booking system to avoid 2 families arriving at the same time. The big problem we had was in drying out towels at this time of year. The clothes drying rack was tiny and only enough for 2 towels, not sufficient for a families needs. We enjoyed the games room, it had a pool table, table tennis table, basketball ball hoops and table football.
The football field that was shown in the photos had no goals. We were not told about this on booking but on questioning this with the host were told he was waiting for a new one. We were there 5 days and no new one appeared. No badminton net as shown in photos was available.
We konden 2 weken genieten van de rust en stilte in dit mooie stukje Engeland. Aiden en zijn familie doen er alles aan om ervoor te zorgen dat alles zeer aangenaam verloopt. We deden dagelijks uitstappen met de kinderen en moesten hiervoor nooit langer dan 30 minuten rijden. Ook de wandelingen door de weien tussen de koeien en de schapen zijn zeker de moeite waard om te doen. Topvakantie!
The hayloft was beautiful spacious and clean. Private garden looking over sheep fields. Games room and pool were brilliant. So quiet and near to combe Martin. Aiden was very helpful and nice. Would definitely go back.
The Hayloft was spacious, clean, warm, well equipped and comfortable and the location idyllic in very rural Devon. Good facilities were available outside the house- indoor swimming pool and games room though we didnât use them. Beautiful spot for walking if you like hills, and golden beaches in easy reach. Our hosts were very helpful both before we arrived and during our stay. Friendly without being intrusive. I was looking for a retreat from fireworks for my dog and myself with a couple of friends and the place was ideal.
Thank you Aiden and team for making us so welcome and for the Goody box for us to enjoy. Such a spacious cottage with the most comfortable beds. Everything we needed was there. Try harder with the weather next time!
Absolutely beautiful cottage, absolutely beautiful surroundings, fantastic holiday with my sons
So easy to book... any questions answered immediately from host. Property so incredibly beautiful and clean and way much more than Iâd dared to expect
We stayed here with close family for a few days after lockdown, we wanted somewhere with peace and quiet and a place for the 2 young grandsons to enjoy . This place delivered on all fronts. From the warm welcome by Aiden the owner, to the beautiful cottage and its gardens and to the location in its gorgeous surroundings, we were blown away. We had a wonderful time, many thanks Aiden, you did us proud and we will certainly be back!
Remote enough to feel as though you are getting away from it all but close enough to amenities and just a short drive to the beach, the wild landscape of Exmoor or dramatic North Devon coastline. Plenty of attractions very close by such as Exmoor Zoo, Arlington Court (NT), Dinosaur and Wildlife Park and Watermouth Castle so a fabulous base with small children. On site facilities are excellent with indoor games room, swimming pool, playground and toys galore and Linda is extremely welcoming and helpful. We felt that Poppy Cottage itself would benefit from a little updating in places but it was very clean and well equipped. We would definitely consider staying here again!
