Kym & Brady are the owner operators of this five star holiday cottage. We were totally reassured from the time of booking that they were going to be great hosts. It is frankly luxurious inside and beautiful in the garden outside (private use). A great conservatory to sit in, very comfortable and see the birds on all the feeders. Very quiet location parking for one car and only 10/15 minutes drive Barnstaple. Kym and Brady were very attentive throughout but not intrusive.

We book lots of cottages all over the UK, this is definitely one of the best, the Cottage is spotlessly clean and very comfy, the Bed is to die for, did not want to get out of it in the mornings, Plenty of TV channels to chose from as it has sky package, endless ideas for trips as the cottage has hundreds of leaflets of things to do in Devon, we went somewhere different every day.. Highly recommend the Williams Arms for the best carvery ever (Book if you go on a Sunday) Kym the owner who looks after the cottage is lovely and made us feel very welcome, next time we in Devon this is the place we will be booking.

Our cottage was excellent.. Very clean, cosy and very comfortable. Kym the owner was lovely very friendly and the personal touches of fresh milk and flowers and a cream tea was very much appreciated. To also have fresh towels mid week was a delight. Set in a beautiful area and very well placed for visiting the surrounding coastal areas. Would highly recommend.

Mrs Palmer, May 2019

This may have only been a short break but one that was so worth it.. Really comfortable and clean. The conservatory was wonderful to sit in and watch the visiting birds, it was so relaxing. The cottage is set in the quiet countryside pretty central to where we wanted to visit, ideal for our break. We would definitely recommend this cottage for a relaxing break.

Mrs Needham

April 2019

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Little Willesleigh which was peaceful and private with a lovely garden and decking area, beautiful setting.. The spacious accommodation was most comfortable, very clean with a kingsize bed, pristine white bedding and the bathroom included a good shower unit and soft, fluffy, white towels. Everything we needed was provided, plus a cream tea also, fresh flowers and the owner, Kym was very friendly and welcoming.

Mrs Tinsley

The cottage had been well thought out by the owners, and had everything needed, and were very helpful on advice of where to visit..

Ms Tew

November 2018

This little and cosy holiday let was absolutely lovely.. .. everything you need for a quite, remote holiday but all shops not far away in Barnstaple. A lovely pub literally 5 mins up the road that's serves great food. Great place for couples who want to get away from it all. The owner, kym lives next door and was lovely making sure we had everything we needed but was never intrusive and made us feel very welcome with a cream tea, fresh flowers and milk left for us. We will be recommending this beautiful place to others. Cannot fault it at all.

Mrs Bowden

October 2018

This holiday let was an absolute gem-ideal situation for touring North Devon and beyond, superb facilities, quietness and privacy, every need catered for..

Mr Missenden

September 2018

We had such a good time and it was made that way because apart from the Devon scenery and the exceptional food served at The New Inn, Goodleigh, the accommodation was superb - we couldn't fault it.. We have stayed in Airb&b in Australia and here and were disappointed. Kym had a cream tea waiting for us on arrival and she was always ready to help in any way we needed. It was so good to come back after a long day to Little Willesleigh.

Mrs Laverty

August 2018

Little Willesleigh is a home from home and the effort that Kym has put into the property is evident from the moment you walk in the door! It is beautifully furnished and decorated and has all the facilities that you would require.

Mr Bailey

July 2018

This is a property which is true to its description, in a beautiful part of England.. You really cannot go wrong with this property

Mrs Wheeler

June 2018

Although Sykes is very good at the organisation of holiday lets.. Most of our praise has to go to the owner of the property. We had a most enjoyable and relaxing time. The property exceeded our expectations.

Mr Sigsworth

April 2018

Nice size cottage clean and quiet.. We were on our honeymoon for the week and was very surprised that we got bottle of bubbly. The roses and cream tea was a lovely thought so thankyou

Mr Whapplington

March 2018

Perfect cottage in beautiful surroundings.. Tastefully decorated with lovely added personal touches such as cream tea and roses on arrival.

Mrs Watton

February 2018

Excellent accommodation! Exceptionally clean, very homely and comfortable. Well equipped. Owner very friendly and helpful, but not at all intrusive. Would highly recommend.

Mrs McKinlay

September 2017

We have stayed in many holiday lets over the years but none of them have been shown the t.. L.c. that the owner has clearly spent on this little gem. Also this was the first time that we have been given a towel change half way through the week. Kym, the owner, was very helpful and friendly and even though she lived on site she was not intrusive in any way. Would highly recommend this delightful and extremely comfortable holiday let.

Mr Nessling

The cottage far exceeds it's description.. Everything is of a very high standard and quality and well designed. It is unusual in that it is very spacious and furnished with good quality furniture and fittings. The owners are very nice friendly people who will help you if needed. Goodleigh is a quiet village with just a pub, The New Inn, which has very friendly owners who provide excellent food. There is no bus service so a car is essential although a taxi isn't very expensive.

Mr Appleby

August 2017

Kym, the owner was very friendly, helpful and the cottage was a credit to her.. Flowers and cream tea on the table as a welcome to her guests was very thoughtful.. She was very discreet but was on hand if you requested anything. Location was good for reaching all the places we wished to visit and a short stroll to the local pub. The conservatory was a great place to chill-out and watch the bird life in the garden. Well recommended.

Mr Tulloch

May 2017

A very comfortable and enjoyable week in lovely accommodation, with friendly and helpful (though not intrusive) hosts.. This ticked almost all our wish-list boxes. PS A car is pretty much essential!

Mr Hoad

Great property, very comfortable and well equipped.. The owners were welcoming and helpful. Quiet location but very close to Barstable town.

Mrs Farnol

Mrs Farnol, March 2017

This is a lovely comfortable cottage within a short distance of Barnstaple.. Plenty of space for 2 people and very welcoming hosts.

Mrs Pasmore, March 2017

February 2017

Although we had a stressful week house hunting, it was wonderful to come back to a perfect cottage and then stroll up to the nearby excellent and friendly pub..

Mr High, February 2017

September 2016

This cottage was more than we expected.. Everything you needed was there and more. The owners were very helpful,nothing to much.for them .We would give it 10/10. And would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice holiday.

Mr Hope, September 2016

August 2016

Great base for lots of lovely and interesting places to visit.. Accommodation was cosy and very comfortable. Was in a very hilly position. Steep walk up or down.

Mr Southern, August 2016

The owners thought of every detail to make a stay here comfortable and enjoyable.. They live in an adjoining property and create the right balance of friendliness/being available but also allowing privacy. The conservatory and the garden were especially welcome, beautifully cared for and the bird life marvellous. This is a fairly new venture for the owners. They deserve to make it a great success and I feel sure it will be. Many thanks to Kym in particular.

Mrs Ashton, August 2016

July 2016

Little Willesleigh was first class, the gardens full of birds and in a quiet location.. Our hosts were helpful and friendly. This property has only just come on to the market so we got in but as news gets around demand will soar. Good luck to the owners in this new venture they deserve it.
