Stable Cottage

I had a very relaxing two week holiday

A very comfortable cottage in a peaceful town.

Could get to all the places we wanted easily.

Property had everything I required .

staying during (another) heatwave had the added bonus that downstairs bedroom was cool enough to have good nights sleep. Colyton a lovely village . I walked to tram station for day out in Seaton . Kingfisher pub , very good fish and chips . Excellent location for many coastal destinations .

We found the cottage to be in an ideal location with amenities in walking distance from the property.

The bus services from Colyton are excellent should you wish to visit other towns etc. without driving.

A very comfortable cottage in a good location.

A comfortable and well equipped cottage in a lovely village with good local facilities .

Ideal for a couple. We enjoyed the "upside" down arrangement. A very good shower and a comfortable bed. We hope to book again if returning to the area.

We’ve stayed at Stable cottage, Colyton quite a few times and we love it!

It gives us everything we want- good kitchen facilities, a super comfy bed and a great shower. We always feel comfortable there- a real home from home. Glad to see there’s now an attempt at encouraging recycling. Sykes is a great company to use- easy booking and they keep in touch all along the way.

This property suited our needs an ideal location.

Don’t publish, for the owner. Recommend you provide weighing scales and more mugs and cutlery to avoid putting on the dishwasher more than necessary. The dinner plates are too large for the dishwasher

Nicely located to local shops, restaurants and pubs.

Property was clean, comfortable and had a well equipped kitchen with plenty of china, glassware and cutlery. Plenty of local attractions to visit providing some good days out.

Lovely comfortable property with everything you needed.

It was in a good location for seeing the area and we would be happy to stay there again.

Stable Cottage gave us everything we needed.

It was very peaceful but within a minutes walk from a very good pub, The Kingfisher. It served very nice food and drink and some specials too.set in a lovely part of Devon and Colyton is a very nice old village. In short would I book again with Sykes? Yes I would and I would also return to Stable Cottage.

Lovely cottage, super clean, great location

We had a very enjoyable stay ,comfortable peaceful,and pleasant surroundings.

excellent shower and comfortable bed enjoyed the upside down living. We embraced the small town the shop, kingfisher pub,the butcher and fishmonger and the garden centre cafe which was excellent for gluten free food.would we return most definitely

Bit difficult to find - a small map/drawing of the access would be helpful.

A very nice niche property to stay - within walking distance of a very good pub. Ideal parking facilities off the road in such a small compact village.

The cottage itself is very comfortable and well equipped although the owners really ought to buy some sharp kitchen knives.

Lots to do in the area. We already knew about the lack of a proper outdoor seating area from other reviews. Shame as we had some nice weather and it would have been nice to sit outside in the evening with a glass of wine or to eat breakfast as some of the other neighbours did. Our problem was that we like peace and quiet in the evenings and the walls with one of the the neighbouring cottages are thin. We could clearly hear their TV so we were forced to create 'white noise' of our own by listening to classical music to mask it. We were less happy when the neighbours started a very loud domestic argument!

An excellent centre for touring the area.

Comfortable, well equipped and very clean. Well positioned with excellent local pub and fish and chip shop. Outside seating area small and not very private and several double glazed windows have “blown “. We would go back again

Very comfy, well-equipped cottage in a great location.

We’ve been there 5 times now so I think that speaks for itself. The bed is wonderfully comfortable and the new bathroom suite has a lovely big roomy shower

Great place to stay and explore beautiful Colyton and surrounding area.

Excellent public transport including the tram to Seaton and lots of local buses. The local people we met were so welcoming and friendly. Highly recommended.

Lovely comfortable cottage,fresh flowers would have been nice and maybe biscuits or a bottle of wine.

,otherwise very pleasant stay.

We love it at Stable Cottage- been 4 times now.

It’s very clean, comfortable and very well equipped. The new bathroom suite is fantastic. Our only slight criticism would be the lack of recycling facilities. At home we take recycling very seriously but here all the rubbish went in the same bin. So we ended up taking it home. But all in all it was another great week in what has become our special place.

This tiny cottage had everything we needed for our stay.

It was cosy, comfortable and immaculate ! The only thing which was slightly disappointing -the "outside space" was not quite as I envisaged ( maybe I have too much of an imagination), being basically garden chairs in the parking area! However, as it happened, this did not detract from our late September stay, as the weather was not especially kind for a good deal of the time. Fortunately, the cottage is conveniently situated, having a good traditional pub, The Kingfisher, only yards from the door

Thoughtful and tastefully equipped cottage in a beautiful village and surroundings.

The cottage is well-placed for all your needs Restaurants, Pubs, convenience shops, bus services, and a tram service to Seaton.

There is on-site parking and a small outdoor garden space.

A beautiful and very well appointed cottage.

Clean, comfortable - we didn't want to leave. The village is great, pubs serve fabulous food. Bus service excellent , Trams are truly worth a visit. Local shops (2), butcher and a fishmonger - what more can you ask - perfect in every way. We will be back.

We absolutely loved stable cottage a very comfortable and clean cottage we had everything we needed and it was in a lovely little town and very quiet we would book with you again

This is the third time we’ve stayed at Stable Cottage so you must be getting it right!

We love it there- the cottage is so quirky and comfortable and has everything we could want. Love the new bed! No doubt we shall be back as we love the village and the location. Well done.

The cottage was lovely no complaints there.

the bed was very uncomfortable and only had a small quilt cover.in the picture’s received by yourselves showed that stable cottage had a small back garden but it had nothing so very dissatisfied with that.we left on Xmas day because of the noise coming from next door banging furniture being moved just to much noise.overall disappointed over £600 spent will not recommend this.sorry for being harsh but the photos taken says a back garden but the photos were taken out the front.I thought that if my dog needed to go toilet I could let him out the back but for two nights running I had to go for a walk with him at stupid o’clock in the morning

Stable cottage was a wonderful place to stay in very comfortable and everything you need.

Thank you

The cottage was beautifully decorated, furnished and presented.

The only gripe we had was that my wife found the bed very uncomfortable. The cottage is a quiet spot, despite being 100 metres from the market square. The location is delightful: we enjoyed Colyton: interesting history and lovely architecture; good food options within walking distance. Walks out along the rivers and streams in every direction were great, and of course the tram link to Seaton, through the wildlife reserve is a highlight.

Lovely comfortable well equipped cottage.

Has an old fashioned charm about it. We have stayed there twice now and are already thinking about a third visit so that shows how much we enjoyed it!

Lovely cottage.

Pity there is no recycling facility.

We had a lovely and relaxing time.

The cottage clean and comfortable and all of the amenities were excellent. We will definitely recommend it to our friends and family

Excellent cosy cottage exceptionally clean Would highly recommend Thank you

A great holiday in a lovely cottage.

We enjoyed it's character, cleanliness and comfort. Close to the amenities in Colyton and we enjoyed exploring nearby beaches, the tramway, and the beauty of the Devon countryside.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful town.

Great location and a good place to base yourself for visiting all the local areas.

An enjoyable stay.

Local pub, the Kingfisher, very welcoming. Lots of nice walks in the area.

It was a lovely property in a small quiet town with plenty of amenities, off road parking was perfect.

The cottage itself was nice, the bed was a little small and the mattress had seen better days and the shower was rubbish. A small vacuum would be helpful as we had a small dog with us and lots of the local walks were very muddy.

A perfect get away highly recommended

A lovely cottage we had a great stay and a great location for sightseeing.

We had a wonderful break at stable cottage beautiful accommodation in a lovely area the kingfisher pub just up the rd great food and lovely atmosphere so much to see and do we loved the mini tram to Seaton and had a great day out in lyme Regis would definately stay again ten out of ten.

Really enjoyed our stay, the cottage was lovely and had everything you needed.

Only drawback there was a damp and musty smell in the bedroom which needs attention other than that I would recommend

We loved the cottage and the town/ village it was situated in.

Upside down living was not a problem as it was so quiet. Kingfisher was great

We had a lovely holiday.

There were facilities in the village. We did not use the car we took the bus to lots of places

Charming cottage in a lovely peaceful location.

Very well equipped. It suited our needs perfectly for a relaxing week away. The only slight niggle we’re the local pigeons that constantly pooped on our car!

Brilliant place to stay, close to everything you need and only a few steps away from a lovely pub.

We will definitely be booking again.

The area where you park your car is the only place you can let you dog out to and only on the lead.

We were led to believe there was a safe garden. There were cobwebs round two of the windows and dust on bathroom door.

Great stay thoroughly enjoy our stay.

If we’re any improvements to be made would be a hairdryer and a safety mat for inside the bath while showering. Kind regards Mike and Carol Pither

Had a great holiday in Stable Cottage.

Colyton is a lovely village with everything you need for a weeks holiday. Downside of the cottage is no outside space apart from next to car parking space and poor water pressure for a shower . Apart from that everything very nice and loads of character which we enjoy. The local pub is really nice and 100 yards up the lane but really popular so you need to book if you want to eat. Can recommend.

Cottage in a lovely position in a nice village, close to shops and a very good local pub, a step away.

Interior in need of updating especially bathroom, lighting very poor. Lounge area ok but furniture far too big for the space ,kitchen has most things you need for a self catering holiday. A tip for ladies no hairdryer. Also no outdoor space for sitting only a small table & chairs by the car !

We enjoyed the cottage which was perfect but the outside seating area was hopeless who wants to sit in a car park looking at a builders yard we were really disappointed at not really having an outside sitting area

A nice cottage cosy and well equipped unfortunately let down down my a foisty smell in the bedroom and entrance hall like it hasn't been ventilated for a while.

Also as previous comments on improvements ie light bulb in entrance hall and bathroom need replacing we replaced the entrance hall one as pitch black returning later after days out.Information book need updating regarding bin location and information on local facilities and couldn't understand why previous pages in the guest book have been ripped out .The seating area wasn't really fit for purpose it is just a gravel car parking area.Critism aside a nice property set in a lovely village ideal to explore Devon.

No outside seating as advertised only sitting by the parked cars , an old bike outside front door all week , housekeeping didn’t check fridge needed defrosting couldn’t use , light in hall and bathroom not working .

No contact with owners , didn’t even check if everything was ok

A very clean and comfortable property.

Good parking space. Well positioned to see all the local beaches and quaint towns. Colyton has good local convenience stores, pity the take away businesses had reduced days of opening. Great fish and chips locally. Very quiet and peaceful place to stay.

Stable Cottage is a lovely little bolthole, perfect for a couple and their four legged friend.

It was a great central location to go out exploring the local area (and further afield). The cottage is very well equipped and they have made the most of the space available. NOTE: there is not an enclosed garden, rather a gravel parking place allocated to the cottage that has a table and chairs, this does mean you can't just let the pooch out to go and do his business first thing in the morning and last thing a night, not an issue but it does mean a 6am start ;-) I would suggest that the owners update the details booklet to advise guests where to dispose of their rubbish, we couldn't find anything that explained where the bins were and what was supposed to be deposited where (the locals seem to have 10 different bags and bins for different waste), we had to ask a neighbour in the end and they weren't too sure either. There was also nothing stating what day the bins were collected. We did have an issue with the hot water whilst we were there, there is a switch outside the bathroom that is marked as WiFi but apparently this also runs the hot water tank, we must have turned the switch off at some point without realising, this meant no hot water. In trying to remedy the situation we flicked the fuse for the hot water which in turn then tripped the switch on the tank (completely our fault). We contacted the owners and they were very quick to respond and sorted the issue out for us but again maybe some instructions for guests would be a good idea. All in all a very nice stay and we will definitely be back again.

Beautiful cottage, lovely location beautiful weather
