Despite some awful weather this did not detract from the rural setting of this cottage, if you want to get away from it all this is the place.. Just far enough out of the village to be secluded. It was great to experience what real darkness is and listen to the country nightlife. The local owls make you smile and the buzzards in the early morning are a treat and i am sure on a really quiet still morning the deer can be heard in the distance at this time of year. Yes you need a car but being in the center of the national park all roads lead somewhere and each one takes you across the moors in a different direction with always something to see.

This is the third time we have stayed at Greenslades and will probably stay again.. We are familiar with the property and It is comfortable and well equipped especially for a winter booking. There was only one mishap during the week when the gardeners visited and did not secure the gate after their visit. Sadly the wind blew the gate open onto one of our cars and scratched it.

Greenslades was a perfect cottage to spend time with family and friends, celebrating my birthday! Well equipped, comfortable and warm with the log fires banishing any chills from the snowy weather outside. Walking distance to village shop and pubs. Exmoor easily accessible for longer hikes and walks. Starry skies a real treat. The chocolate cake on arrival for delicious! Would love to go back soon!

Mrs Penniall

November 2018

Very well equipped and it was a home from home.. The only improvement we would strongly recommend would be a thick curtain over the front door as it was extremely draughty. Better instructions for the use of the tv would have been helpful

Miss Oxborough

We had a really lovely stay in this tardis like holiday cottage.. Such a lovely setting and property. Definitely recommend. We were two families of four and a dog. Garden was perfect for enjoying the late September sunshine. Great village not far down the road. We had a great meal in the Crown and the kids loved the park and the café.

Miss Alvis

Lovely comfortable cottage in a superb location

Greenslades is a fabulous holiday cottage, well equipped and such comfortable beds! It is situated in wonderful countryside, horse riders trotted past the window as we sat eating breakfast much to the delight of the grandchildren. The stunning North Devon coast is about a 30 minute drive away across the moor but what a beautiful drive and so worth it. We visited Lynton and Lynmouth for a ride in the cliff railway and then some rockpooling, a first for the grandchildren and happy memories for their dad! Booking through Sykes was straightforward and we were kept up to date with all the necessary information to ensure that we had a hassle free holiday. Highly recommended all round ☺

Mrs McCall

Greenslades was lovely and the standard of the facilities was impressive.. It was a beautiful location and as the weather was chilly we used the log burning stoves and felt really cosy. Particularly liked the comfy beds and en suite facilities and found it highly suitable for a two family holiday.

Mrs Barnard

February 2018

The cottage was excellent - clean, comfortable and warm.. The owners provided everything we needed, even things like hairdryers and torches. The children enjoyed the table tennis and the adults appreciated the comfortable beds and the open fire. It was the perfect place to enjoy half term with three generations of our family.

The property was very comfortable, clean welcoming. A true home from home.

Mrs Woodward

A really lovely cottage which was finished to a high standard. There was plenty of room for eight of us and it had everything you could possibly need. It was very peaceful and the beds were comfortable. It is a great location if you want to go walking, with lots to do at a close distance by car.

Greenslades was a beautiful cottage with lots of room, good quality furnishings and equipment.

Mrs Parrett

February 2016

Greenslades was everything we could have hoped for and more. Very high quality accommodation. We had snow and very cold weather whilst we were there, but we stayed beautifully warm in the house. Very impressive. Lovely setting.

Mrs Baker

The standard of the accommodation was excellent, it was lovely to have quality towels and bed linen supplied. The location was ideal for exploring all parts of Exmoor and the village was able to supply all our local needs and one trip to Minehead satisfied the main shop. We all enjoyed our visit so much we have re-booked for the end of October.

Mrs Kent

January 2016

This is a lovely property which is very well equipped and located. We slept amazingly well as it is so peaceful! We particularly liked the huge kitchen with the big table, it made a great gathering place with the log burner making it even cosier. The dark sky took our breath away. Highly recommended!

Mrs Hurst

November 2015

The house was absolutely lovely! Spotless, homely, great location and very well equipped. We were a party of very mixed ages and even The Muvvers, who normally complain about everything, were full of praise! We will be back!

Mrs Towill

A fabulous cottage, so well equipped. It was great for us to be able to walk to the local pubs in the evening. Would love to return, but fear that such a lovely cottage will soon become fully booked (we will have to be more organised).

Mrs Shayes

October 2015

We have stayed in lots of lovely cottages through Sykes but this cottage was outstanding! The furnishings and décor were of a very high standard and everything we could wish for was provided. The cottage is in an excellent position for exploring Exmoor national park. We had a fantastic week here and I would not hesitate to recommend Greenslades.

August 2015

We have stayed in a lot of lovely holiday cottages through Sykes and I can honestly say this was the best. The property could not be faulted in any way. It was in a really good central position for walking on Exmoor and it was furnished and equipped to a really high standard. The cottage was very spacious and the bathrooms and kitchen were excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend this cottage.

Mrs Eccleston

A lovely cottage, furnished to a high standard with everything we needed in the kitchen. There was lots of space, even as a party of 8 we didn't feel on top of one another. My favourite room was the kitchen, spending evenings around the large kitchen table in front of the wood burning stove. It was a very quiet area, the only sound you could hear were the sheep in the field across the road. Would recommend this property if you want a quiet relaxing holiday.

Mr Ferris

Miss Hopwood

The cottage was fantastic, it's the best we've stayed in. We loved being close to the moor but within the nice village of Exford.

Mrs Fenner

October 2014

We hired Greenslades for my hubby's 70th with all 8 of the family in attendance for the weekend. They were all amazed at the excellence of the property and everyone would like to come again. Please thank the owners!

Mrs Brothers

Good private location and not over looked. An Excellent accommodation - great taste of decor, bed linen warm and nothing over looked. Very friendly locals,good pubs in walking distance,the added bonus was to be able to take my beloved Labrador who also enjoyed the stay as much as my sister and myself. Loved the bench at the top of garden for our GT in the evenings.

March 2014

The cottage was decorated to such a high standard it made the holiday very enjoyable and relaxing. The location was prefect for our relaxing weekend away from the hustle and bustle of Bristol. Couldn't have asked for anything more!
