Brilliant personal service!

"I booked our holiday cottage via the internet. After leaving email address l waited for confirmation which l didn't appear to receive. I rang the helpline and the lovely people l spoke with were so helpful. The emails had gone to junk mail for some reason best left to the world of cyberspace! A lovely lady called Martha called me back to ensure all was well. It's that sort of personal touch that will take this new company a long way. We know how nice the accommodation is as we have stayed there when it was with a different company. On the service we have so far received l would highly recommend the company"

Friendly and Straightforward

"Came across this site when looking for a holiday cottage. Found a great place at a great price. Cancellation and Covid rules were really easy to follow. Prompt online chat function even in the evening, very impressed with how helpful and straightforward everything has been."

Quality property, quality service

"I have used many different holiday booking sites over the years mostly for cottages and I must say Eden Retreats is up there with the best of them. While not as wide a variety of properties as others they certainly have quality on a very high scale. Booking was a breeze with loads of photos to see what you will be going to and quick responses to email inquiries (I made a mistake in booking numbers, which was quickly resolved). Would definitely recommend and really looking forward to our holiday in July."

February 2021

We were a party of 9 plus 3 dogs there to celebrate a 70th birthday

"Very well equipped and beautifully furnished house. Very comfy beds and lots of space so we could spread out. Hot tub was a particular hit. Highly recommended."

November

Cottage was beautiful

"Well stocked, clean and very homely would love to go back!"

October

Valley view is a fantastic holiday home

"Comfortable, extremely well-equipped and in a great location."

Quiet location in the valley, perfect for a luxury UK holiday

"A great base to explore the Devon coastline and also enjoy relaxing days in, whatever the weather. It is easy enough to walk into Ilfracombe or get a taxi for a reasonable price, the company we used came right to the door. Kevin made sure everything was ok with us and sums up the friendliness of the local people! The house was set up perfectly for a dog with secure large gardens so no need to worry about them escaping! Hot tub was a lovely touch and maintained regularly so always clean."

September

An amazing house

"Everything and more that you could need or want, views are outstanding, ideal setting for families and loads of places to go that are local. Kevin and Jackie were always on hand and our welcome from them was lovely. Would love to go back as the hot tub is a must. I took my daughters, son in laws and two three year olds and it was so set up for us all. One word that sums it all up is WOW."

August

All 9 of us have just had a fantastic weeks holiday

"I would highly recommend Valley View, spacious, clean, the hot tub was checked regularly. The views from the lounge are so relaxing. Kevin the maintenance manager had to come in a couple of times, he always picked the times that we were out, so a very big thank you."

Everything for our family was perfect

"We didn't need for anything as the house is so well equipped, so much space and every comfort thought of. Kevin and Jackie the caretakers were wonderful and the added bonus of fresh eggs every day from their hens was great. Would definitely return God Willing."

July

We (4 ladies) had a wonderful time at Valley View

"The accommodation was, I believe, the best equipped that we've ever stayed in. Also the caretakers of the property could not have been more helpful. Both lovely people. If we ever wanted to visit that area again we would definitely aim for this property. I would certainly highly recommend it. The hot-tub was the icing on the cake!"

June

Had a great family holiday at Valley View

"Aptly named as it really does have a great view of the Valley. The cottage is very well set up for families with young children. We had three all below 5 years old and we all had a great time. The hot tub was used every day and is perfectly placed on the south facing balcony. Just a few minutes drive from Ilfracombe centre it is far enough away to be peaceful but close enough to get all your supplies. It has a lovely homely feel and has absolutely everything you could need. Even fresh eggs for breakfast from the nearby chickens. The furniture has a quality feel and everything is in perfect condition. With all the bedrooms in different parts of the house there was enough space for three small families to have their own space. We will definitely be returning."
