Our second visit was as good as the first! We were again given a friendly welcome, delicious goodies and flowers. We visited Arlington Court, walked round Wistlandpound Reservoir and walked at Baggy Point. We dodged the hail showers by spending an afternoon at the cinema in Barnstaple! Due to Ali’s attention to detail we are happy to highly recommend this cottage. Rosemary and Peter

Little Acorn is an excellent base for touring North Devon and Cornwall.. It is a beautiful apartment with everything there that you might need for a really comfortable stay.The kitchen and lounge have lovely far reaching views and it was just wonderful to lie in bed at night and look at the stars. It is in a really quiet and peaceful area, but only a few minutes from the main roads and shops. Ali and Andy are a really lovely couple, nothing was too much trouble for them, and the cream tea on arrival was superb. We hope to go back again one day and would highly recommend this holiday apartment to anyone who is looking for something a little bit special.

The heating is controlled by the owners as there isn't a separate control at the property yet.. This is a bit is an issue in November, the owners did provide a heater and said to contact them if we wanted the heating on more than they provided. A separate control would be ideal as you don't want to keep bothering the owners. In the summer months this wouldn't be an issue. The pressure for the hot water could be improved too.

Best cottage we’ve stayed in -spacious, spotless and a great location.. Super welcome and goodies on arrival- thanks Ali! Already looking forward to our next visit! Rosemary and Peter

Little Acorns exceeded expectations.. Far enough from Barnstaple to be a quiet retreat, yet close enough to walk to should you wish to. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable and our hosts Alison and Andy were friendly and helpful.

Mrs Drysdale

Would highly recommend Little Acorn to everyone and it deserves a 5 star rating.. Ali and Andy are great hosts the welcome pack was fab especially the clotted cream !! Everything you could possibly need was there. The location is great for all the places you could wish to visit . Wishing Ali and Andy all the best and carry on doing a fantastic job.

I needed somewhere to stay for 10 nights due to business commitments.. I tried to book in to a hotel but alas they were all full. Fortunately I stumbled upon Sykes Cottages and Little Acorn and booked up. What a delight I was met by the owner given the keys etc. The apartment was superb; fridge freezer, oven, washing machine and tumble drier, kettle, coffee machine, toaster etc. I went shopping beforehand, for basic provisions like washing up liquid, salt and pepper, washing tablets etc but there really is no need, basics were supplied. Even a cream tea (scones, jam and clotted cream) was waiting for me! Little Acorn is a 15-20 min walk in to town, very private and quiet. If I get the opportunity to travel to North Devon again I will certainly stay at Little Acorn.

Mr Dear

Little Acorn is an absolutely beautiful apartment in such a lovely setting.. It had everything we needed and more. The hosts were amazing, leaving little touches like a cream tea on arrival - nothing was too much trouble for them. The neighbours were friendly too, making us feel very welcome and at home, we would have loved to stay longer, We had a wonderful break even without the sunshine - typical of holidaying in England!

Mrs Rowley
