Cleveland Cottage is in a lovely location with very attractive views from the garden. Although it is not really remote there are a confusing number of lanes leading to Skilgate. It is essential, therefore,to follow the directions given. These are perfect and Post Lane becomes the route of choice from the village. We were very impressed by the cleanliness of the cottage. Shirley,the housekeeper (who is a delight by the way) had been meticulous in ensuring that everything was absolutely spotless. Although we were well aware from the description of the cottage that there are steps up from the lane we felt that a clearer indication should begin that some people would find these very difficult, if not impossible, to manage,particularly when wet and slippery. Likewise the staircase down from the bedrooms is not easy to manage especially at night if visiting the toilet is necessary. It should also be noted that there is very poor mobile phone coverage - just about possible at the far end of the garden but not in the cottage. The description indicated that there was a landline phone available. There wasn't. A note in the cottage guide book referred to using "wi-fi calling". This is misleading. "Wi-fi calling" is only possible with certain of the latest mobile phones and not with all providers/phone contracts. The landline handset needs to be replaced. Without it an emergency could become a tragedy. It was unfortunate that the flush mechanism in the bathroom toilet tank was broken. It worked for our first three days and then failed completely making this toilet unusable. Shirley and her husband endeavoured to get it repaired but could not obtain parts. This meant that only the shower room toilet was available. This was inconvenient and unsatisfactory especially at night. Overall,however, we enjoyed our stay and in spite of the 1970s style heating/hot water system the cottage was warm and comfortable....

Thank you so much for taking the time to give such a helpful review. The cottage's location in the beautiful Exmoor countryside does mean that the local roads are very rural and generally unclassified, so we'd always recommend using the tried and tested route provided in your arrival details, as you found. We do draw attention to the steps from the parking area and the traditional turning staircase in the cottage for the reasons you mention - they really do add to the period charm of this lovely spot. We're so glad that Shirley the housekeeper did her best to help you when one of the loos broke - although the parts weren't available immediately, we were relieved that you could use the other loo. We'll check with the owner regarding the phone in the cottage and if there are any changes, we'll update our description. We're delighted that you had a great stay overall. Tanya, Customer Support...

On arrival the cottage was clean and tidy. The garden was well maintained. The kitchen was well equipped and the lounge and bedroom spacious and comfortable. Although the accommodation was for four people, it was refreshing to discover that because we were only two there was a reduction in the cost....

Ideal for a quiet and relaxing stay. Only a minor point but the cottage is sited down some narrow lanes and we didn't find too many open spaces for children to play apart from the garden."

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your review. Set in the heart of Exmoor National Park, there are miles of beautiful footpaths and trails to explore down the network of little country lanes, but if the children are looking to enjoy a game of football or tag, the completely private cottage garden offers ample space to do so.

I found the cottage very warm, cosy and comfortable with a lovely fire-place. All the furnishings are practical and in excellent condition.
