  Good Points.

  Cottage presented really well. Clean. Nice bedding. Nice towels. Heating heats up really fast. Nice strong shower. Cutlery good. Welcome pack - Nice supply of sachet tea, coffee and biscuits. Nicely furnished and finished to an excellent standard throughout. Nice grounds. Minor Complaints. No parasol Outside bin full on arrival Outside table needs cleaning Garden neglected Patio furniture splitting (the plastic wicker) No spare bin bags Weeds Knives in knife block wouldn’t cut butter Only 2 dishwasher tablets The Bad. Place is surrounded by fields and we arrived when farmers were harvesting. This means we had days on end of the holiday ruined by the constant loud machinery noise. **This went on from 7AM till 10PM !** There are no restrictions on the times a farmer can use machinery it seems. We could not open windows or doors when it was hot due to the noise. We also couldn’t use the garden as just too loud! Booking Company - Sykes I wanted to try and get some info about arrival, and also to see if someone (Sykes, host or management company) could possibly find out from the farmers roughly what day the machinery will stop, as we were going to leave early as it was driving us nuts. Sykes have been the worst booking company I have dealt with. I will actively avoid this company in the future. Impossible to contact. Try calling and you get a voice recording saying “Text us or WhatsApp us”. When you do you don’t get a reply for 5 hours. And then each reply has several hours in between, if you are lucky enough to get one. I sent a message on WhatsApp, they sent auto responder saying “received message, will be in touch”. 24 hours later they sent another saying “as it’s been 24 hours we can no longer respond!” Unreal! They offer no flexibility at all. VRBO and others will contact host or management to find answers, Sykes just say “don’t know, tough”.

  Lovely place, peaceful and good location.

  Good outdoor area for kids to play or run around. Beds very comfy, master bathroom really lovely. Seating very comfy. We appreciate the games and dvds. Good tvs. WiFi was great. There were fans which we really appreciated. Nice picnic table to sit at with parasol on a hot day. Dog blankets were great, the provider poop bags and dog bowls. Fridge freezer a great size for family of 4. Thankful of the dishwasher. Largely very clean and tidy. It's been maintained well. Just a little dusty around master bed at the back and down back legs. Single beds a little too narrow. Would have liked to have had a hoover, especially with two young kids and a dog about. No washing machine so recommend pack more than you might need. Bath mat was slippery so suggest getting a new one. Would also recommend plastic kids plates/dishes and cups... Just in case. Overall we had a really lovely stay. Could have stayed another week. Easy to find and we were close enough with a 20 min ride to most local places and food beaches. Lovely hearing the birds sing and the local chickens! Felt very relaxed in the place. Rarely heard the neighbours as it's far enough apart and liked the privacy of the hedges and shrubbery near by. Really pretty place.

  The property can only be described as 5 star accommodation. The owners, Steve & Helen, have thought of absolutely everything with regard to furnishings & fittings. Everything is first class. The welcome pack which included a large basket of logs, wine, fruit, cake, fudge, cookies, milk, bottles of beer, cordial & flowers was a most welcome surprise. The barn was a most relaxing & cosy environment with the added bonus of a hot tub. Although the weather was very seasonal, stormy at times, it was nice to be cosy & warm in their lovely barn. We dined in the village on three occasions and, in our opinion, the Anchor Inn was our favourite with regard to food & a friendly welcome. A visit to Hartland Quay is worth a visit for the outstanding rock formations and a walk along the coastal path. Good choice of food available in the Wreckers Bar at the hotel there with free parking. All in all, our 7 night stay at the barn exceeded our expectations and we would not hesitate to return in the future.

  The lodge was spotlessly clean.

  The Beds were comfortable with very nice linen. All one could need was provided although a grab bar on the wall over the bath would be of help to the aged. There is a lake just down the road to which you have access. It is a lovely walk around it and if you fish it has a lot of large carp. The area is lovely if you like walks etc and the distance to nice places was fine. RHS Rosemoor is really lovely and Hartland point is a really scenic spot. Bude is a really nice place and the ice creams are great. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The Tomtom sat nav did not accept the postcode and tried to send us to Bideford. Might be the reception. If you are arriving from Bideford going South on the A39, about halfway to Bude there is a sign on the right to a lane on the left going to West Yagland. About a mile down there is a crossroads. Go straight across and just down there on the right is Hartland Forest Golf Club. The lodges are numbered and sign posted. We had a very happy week there.

  Lovely peaceful lodge.

  Very well equipped with good quality furnishings & kitchen equipment. Huge smart tv in lounge, DVD player with DVD’s, Alexa, jigsaws etc. Very dog friendly Dog bowls, bed, towels, even poo bags provided. Very remote so a few miles to the nearest shop, but this was not an issue with forward planning. A suggestion would be a fan for the bedrooms as it can get quite hot. Plenty of lovely places to visit not too far away. We visited Bude, Westward Ho, Boscastle & Tintagel. All lovely places. There’s also an outlet nearby if you are looking for a bargain. Spoke with the owner Claire as we left something behind. Very nice person who is happy to post it to us for which we are very grateful. Would definitely return & recommend for a getaway from it all holiday.
