Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

WE DISCOVERED TRANQUILITY BASE
Time to be looking forward to our holidays this year and what better than a return to this delightful self catering accommodation in this delightful little village right on the edge of Exmoor. We stayed here for a week last year in the Bridge View apartment and had no hesitation in booking for two weeks this year before we left. This time we will be staying in Stable Cottage. The apartments are very well managed, niceley furnished and very comfortable which made us feel very much at home and relaxed during our first stay. If like us, you like walking in the woods, along coastal paths, on the moors or just touring the surrounding wonderful countryside then this is really a good place to be. You can be sure of a warm welcome and excellent attention from Brian and Linda the owners.
