What our customers say about their holidays

  The place has been well renovated, and is very pleasant to be in.

  The living room/kitchen has good light and comfortable seating. We had some issues: bedroom 2 (twin) is far too small. there is nowhere to put a suitcase, you can barely get round both sides of the bed. this bedroom is not suitable for 2 adults the kitchen equipment is sufficient but not plentiful. 3 pans and a frying pan for the stove. More cutlery and cooking equipment, food containers (only 1!) and bowls would be good. no clingfilm or foil the windows only open a few inches and it was hot in the house, windows are difficult to open and close. there's an extra button to press to close them, and it's not clear how to get them to move. I think the handle has to be in a certain position. no through breeze in the main bedroom, with little air movement as only 1 window and can't open it more than a few inches. there are no safety bars in either bathroom. especially a problem in the 2nd bedroom as there's nothing to hang onto in the shower. also nowhere to be put your soap/shampoo the showerhead in the main bathroom is at an angle so the water goes towards the wall the smoke alarm went off due to a bit of grease on the bottom of a pan, and it was totally ear splitting, far too loud no hair dryer no clothes dryer towels in the 2nd bathroom are too small, like hand towels had to ask for cleaning sprays, a bin bag - why only 1 provided? welcome pack was some milk and packet of imported biscuits. Shame no local treats were provided as many places do. This is an organic farm? outside the barn is a large area of concrete with a small table and 2 chairs (why not four?). unwelcoming. the bench in the kitchen against the wall is uncomfortable, too narrow. we asked about using the garden at the back. the owner agreed but only at certain times. generally, there is nowhere nice outside you can relax. this is a major drawback the best thing about the property is the location. in general I think the property is overpriced. no garden, tiny 2nd bedroom, only 1 living space, we have stayed in places much more spacious for a much lower price.

  A recently converted barn, completed to a high standard.

  We have stayed in lots of holiday cottages and this is one of the best in terms of cleanliness, appliances and comfort- also off a very quiet lane with the occasional passing tractor. The heating and woodburner kept us warm and the bed was very comfortable. Lovely to have a bath and a separate walk in shower. Everything you needed to self cater was there- except oven gloves-luckily brought own. Clear relevant information is provided by Kate the owner. It would be good to have a visitors comments book so that visitors can share ideas of places to visit etc. Easy parking outside the door.

  Beautiful, spotlessly clean luxury, in a perfect location.

  The photos show a stunning property that delivered, to perfection. We fell in love with the barn the second we set foot in it! So, so clean and welcoming. There's so much to do here within just a 10 minute car radius. 30 minutes will easily keep you busy. Local produce and eateries are a delight. Strawberry Fields was a favourite for us and we'll definitely be returning. Kate, thank you so much for being the perfect host, helpful and kind but completely non obtrusive.

  Amazing place!

  We only had the pleasure of staying 2 nights but wish we had more time! The property is very well kept and clean and beautifully decorated. Location wise as expected it's a village so nearest shops and restaurants are a drive away. Not many local restaurants but you can get takeaways and if your happy to drive then plenty of options out there. You cant just go out and walk I'm afraid the place is rural so you do need to take your car wherever you go.

  An absolutely stunning barn which is very well equipped and warm and cosy.

  The accommodation is very spacious and fitted with high quality furnishings throughout. The bathrooms are stunning and the water is hot and plentiful. The king size bed is very comfortable with luxury cotton bedding. Kate was very friendly, helpful and knowledgable of the area, which was really helpful. 1 Caddaford Barns is,by far, the best accommodation we have stayed in for a very very long time. Absolutely excellent and highly recommended.
