Meadowsweet Reviews

Sue

We had a lovely time, the property had everything you need and plenty to do for a family ranging from 10 years old to 72. The smallest bedroom was a bit small but we put the Granny in there and she was fine. Would definitely go again.

Simon

The cottage was absolutely lovely,swimming pool, jacuzzi games room was excellent,the great outdoors and views were amazing,owners just leave you alone to do as you please ( but on hand if you need them,I would highly recommend the cottages, such a lovely place to stay and relax

Georgina

Fab size, we were a family of 8 in total and had plenty of space. The bunk bed rooms are small but perfectly fine to sleep in. Kitchen came very well equipped, so much so we had to shuffle the cupboards around to make space for our food! Swimming pool is fabulous, really hot hot tub, lovely sauna and great changing facilities. Play room kept all ouRead morer kids entertained for hours on the rainy days we had. Grounds and views are beautiful, would love to stay again in the summer. Hide

Imran

Delightful property nestled in a quiet corner of the world. Perfect for extended family getaway celebration. Pool and hot tub were nice additions especially when the weather turned. Homely and spacious with nice standard of beds. Would come back for sure

Anca

Everything was perfect. The house was clean and comfy, the pool was worm, the views were amazing. I highly recommend it.

Stephen

We really enjoyed our stay despite the weather being really awful. The pool was great and the accommodation comfortable and had everything we needed. The location is perfect for exploring the north Devon coast with lots of things to do within a short drive. Our teenage children particularly enjoyed their surfing lesson at Woolacombe beach.

Linda

This was a family golden wedding celebration for all the family Great for adults and chilren. We all enjoyed the pool and the games room. A beautiful peaceful situation as well

Belinda

We had a really lovely, comfortable stay in Meadowsweet cottage. The kitchen was very well equipped from utensils, crockery and dishwasher and washing machine. Even with 10 of us, it never felt overcrowded and the living room accommodated us all very comfortably, as did the dining area. The swimming pool and gamed room were excellent. A pity we did n't get to use the extensive grounds or barbecue facilities due to wet weather. ' Everything I dreamed of' said our 4 Yr old!

Jane

We had a fab stay in Meadow Sweet. The children loved the pool and the adults the hot-tub! Going in the school holiday meant no access to the sauna which some of our party would have enjoyed. Smythen Farm is well situated within easy reach of many attractions, so a good base for your adventures.

Kerry

Cottage was lovely and very well equiped

David

For a cottage stating it slept up to ten people two bedrooms were very small- one with no room for storing clothing at all. There was only one key for the cottage which was entirely inadequate given that 10 people may not wish to go out together and return at the same time on every occasion. The games room was enjoyed by the children but the outsid e play equipment was very minimal. Very nice views.

Leanne

We as a family of 7 adults and 2 children had an amazing stay! The accommodation was spotless and had everything we could need. The grounds and were stunning! The swimming pool, hot tub and sauna were enjoyed by us all and the games room was a firm favourite with the children. We also loved playing with the dog, Binky! Who was just too cute. We wil l definitely be back. Thank you for an amazing stay!

Christine

Meadowsweet was perfect for our family weekend away. The open plan living area suited us really well to relax and share meals comfortably round the large table The indoor pool being so close to our cottage was great especially with two young children. We had lots of fun in the games room and enjoyed meeting the donkeys and Shetland pony. The locati on is in beautiful Devon countryside.

Lyn

We loved the cottage and accommodation but we were on our own and as a family of 10 we might have been a bit noisy as we found the walls a bit thin , if others had been below us,. The pool was great for the kids on a rainy day, throughly enjoyed our weekend, would def return.

Emma

We had a lovely holiday and the location and set up was wonderful. The children could roam free safely and made friends, the location was stunning and the cottage was warm and welcoming.

Malcolm

The cottage worked perfectly for our family, birthday, celebration. The pool and children's play area were excellent.

Jacqueline

Meadowsweet fine for 6 but no more bunk rooms very small and bunks to chunky. Animals and playground very good. Games room pool table did not return the balls but rest was well equipped. A good centre for exploring North Devon.

Claire

Would definitely recommend smythen farm cottages, stayed at Meadowsweet during January for a 40th birthday with 5 adults 4 children and 2 dogs. Beautiful cottages in stunning surroundings with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. On arrival had a small issue with the television and water which were both sorted immediately with minimal f uss or disruption. We will be looking at returning in the future for sure.

Diane

Lovely holiday cottage, kitchen and living area are the most comfortable and social that I have ever been to. Lots to do in the local area although you do need a car. Pool and jacuzzi lovely. the bunk bed rooms are tiny though

Aadam

Amazing cottage, amazing and friendly owners and staff. Everywhere was clean and everything was accessible. Games room was so much fun aswell as the pool facilities. Amazing views and very clean land. Would definitely recommend for a getaway as it is peaceful and quiet and isolated yet still not far from shops or the nearest town 10/10 from all of us who stayed thank you for having us.

Sagorika

We stayed at the Meadow Sweet cottage at the Smythern family farm. We were two families and had an amazing time. The location was brilliant and the games room and pool were a bonus. The cottage was very well equipped with comfortable bedding and bed linen. We'd love to come back and highly recommend for others.
