    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Adrian - Verified booking

      The accommodation exceeded all expectations.

      It was bigger than it looked in the pictures. It was warm, light & sunny, with sunshine pouring in for most of the day. The balcony & the view are just stunning. And it was heavenly to hear the rush of the river from the house. The kitchen & bathroom were fabulous & the bed was comfy. The owners Pater & Alison were delightful (& shared fresh eggs & apples from the farm). High standards of comfort, linens and towels. And everything I needed in the kitchen. (Just note there is a standard fridge, but not a freezer (just the icebox). So don't do a big shop & not have cool storage for it all) The location is perfect for those who truly appreciate walking (and want to walks miles not minutes). I know Exmoor very well & have explored many of the footpaths & coast paths. Bumsley is situated (in my opinion) in the most brilliant position to explore the most spectacular parts of the South West Coast Path. I left the car at the barn most days & enjoyed the simply delightful walk down the along the river valley to Hunters Inn (In my opinion this walk down the Heddon is every bit as lovely as Lynmouth & Waters Meet - but without any of the other walkers and the hassle of the A39!) Once at Heddon's Mouth you can then go one way to follow the coast path through Woody Bay, Lee Abbey to Valley of the Rocks. Or turn the other way and do a glorious walk over Trentishoe, climbing the Coombe and then Great & Little Hangman to Woolacombe. And there are many other lovely walks all around, with great footpaths & stunning views. These are long, but wonderful walks, and quite honestly you can arrive at the cottage. Park the car. Then walk all day from the doorstep, in some of the finest woodland, moor & coastal scenery that Exmoor has to offer. Come with good boots & eager to put the miles in & you won't be disappointed! I can also highly recommend The Black Venus Inn (about 15 min away by car) for amazing food (it felt very safe & was very well organized and managed during Covid). I have stayed on Exmoor, in various locations, too many times to count. But this was one of my favorite places ever. I will definitely return next year.

    • Julie - Verified booking

      Lovely house and garden, as described but pleasantly larger than expected inside for the 4 of us.

      Especially enjoyed the pavilion to sit out in the evenings - a good addition to the facilities. Welcome gifts of tea, coffee, sugar, biscuits, milk, dog treats and bottle of wine were appreciated. Only slight negatives would be rather uncomfortable beds and overly-soft sofas although we understand this is personal preference. Location good: Heaton Punchardon is a small village not too far down narrow Devon lanes with an historic church and thatched houses. Pub (The Williams Arms) possibly walkable but very steep hill on the way back! Large portions :) Braunton also has essential shops, Squires chippy and there are plenty of petrol stations nearby. Barnstaple great for a day in town and its excellent local-history museum and medieval bridge. Saunton Sands very busy on a weekend and carpark rubbly. Woolacombe a good seaside location with brilliant beach and plenty of cafes (main carpark pricey at £12 so be aware). Both dog-friendly. Proper cider from Indicknowle farm towards Ilfracombe was a highlight of our stay on such a hot week. Dog had a great time too, especially the local walk (see route in info folder in property) and all the rabbits in the big garden. Overall, would recommend Pillars for a week in North Devon and would book through Helpful Holidays/Sykes again.

    • Adele - Verified booking

      Pillars is an exceptional holiday property, gorgeous House and fabulous gardens in incredible setting with views over open countryside.

      All needs are catered for, from the interior fixtures and fittings, to the most comfortable beds and bedding I’ve ever found in any holiday rental. Added extras such as flowers left and the most sumptuous artisan treats left for us on arrival all made us feel incredibly welcome, including our dogs, who loved the size and safety of the vast gardens to run and play in. The information left for us said that the gardens were not dog proof, but we had no issues at all - fences all around, that only the most determined escapees would get out through - but why would they want to?? Our boys loved it. Obviously, as this was the first time away from home since lockdown, we were a little concerned, but the House was spotless and additional sanitiser left for us to use during our stay. We were reassured to be told that the property had been fully sanitised before our stay, and we duly scanned in using the NHS track and trace app. We had originally booked to stay in April but had to postpone to the end of September- and we were so glad we were able to rebook Pillars with no problems at all. Vicky, the caretaker, was lovely upon first contact, and was so helpful when we wanted to take some of the delicious treats back for friends

    • Paul - Verified booking

      We left complimentary feedback in the guestbook the last evening we were at the barn (late June 2023), however after we arrived back at home we realised that we had left several items.

      We contacted Sykes cottages five days later through their website feedback process to inform them and to arrange the return of the items. Sykes replied within a couple of days to say that they had contacted the owners who had no knowledge of our items. We then wrote directly to the owners in early July but over a month later (mid August) we have not received an acknowledgement. This is very disappointing. We have been renting holiday cottages for over 40 years, both in the UK and in Europe and this is the first time this has happened to us. It is also the first property where the owners request that the property is 'left as you find it' with a note to say where cleaning products and appliances are located. It is one thing to request that the property is left clean and tidy but to imply that we were expected to thoroughly clean the property is unreasonable and a distraction at the end of an otherwise agreeable week; not least because the cleaners were waiting in the car park to go in and clean the barn as we left at 9.40 am. Overall, an unsatisfactory conclusion to our holiday.

    • Carole - Verified booking

      Pillars is a very well appointed house, and is a lovely spacious property with extensive grounds.

      We made use of all the downstairs rooms especially the conservatory ( weather wasn’t always good!). The Williams Arms provided exceptional value and quality food - we recommend it. The location is good for numerous points of interest - beaches, NT, small towns. The instructions to reach the property were accurate but not the easiest route to follow - we discovered better during our time there. It was difficult to contact the caretaker to find out the details about key collection (5 messages were left before a callback was received). Unfortunately there was a problem with the cistern in the ensuite - it was very slow to fill - which we reported but didn’t hear back. Also, the skylight window in one of the twin bedrooms couldn’t be fully closed. We felt the ‘Heath Robinson’ arrangement for the extremely small television in the lounge spoilt the room and wasn’t a suitable size for that room. Although there were negatives we did enjoy our stay.
