  We ended up feeling like the luckiest people on earth to find fairly last minute availability at this beautiful house.

  It’s situated in a picture perfect village with a great local pub serving really good food. The locals were so friendly, an evening sitting in the pub garden with a cold pint and a delicious meal was just heaven.There’s so much to do within half an hours drive of the house, a week really wasn’t long enough. We were 10 members of extended family and the house catered for us perfectly. Plenty of everything in the kitchen made cooking meals on a couple of occasions easy and stress free. The pub served us brilliantly the other nights and there is a good Chinese takeaway a short drive away. We had 4 teens with us and they practically commandeered the hot tub and pool table. The en-suites and huge main bathroom also meant that even with 10 people getting ready, there was never a queue for the shower. Vicky was the perfect host, so helpful and kind even offering to meet our grocery delivery on the first day if necessary. So to sum it up. Fabulous house in a fabulous setting with a fabulous host. I have no hesitation in recommending it.

  We had a marvellous week at Higher Fords Barn.

  The accommodations is excellent throughout, fantastic large living and kitchen area, lovely bedrooms with well appointed en-suite to each and nicely spaced apart. Great facilities and general equipment which provided all we needed for our stay. We particularly loved the garden which provided much fun and enjoyment for the family. A real natural sun trap with amazing countryside views. Child and dog friendly under supervision. Location is excellent from which to explore the wonderful area and Sandymouth beach was an absolute standout. The very narrow lanes leading to and from the barn can be a little challenging and very pot holed but obviously outside the owners control. We had one small issue with the outside key safe but this was quickly resolved with the owners and communication and response from Lauren and Bob was excellent and appreciated. We will definitely visit again and fully recommend this super super holiday destination.

  This was a lovely house, well equipped and comfortable.

  A wonderful quiet location, although shame about the building site next door (although it was a quiet one). The house was cold when we arrived and the thermostats didn't seem to work properly but we managed to get it warm. There was a general lack of instructions and pointers to where to find things (eg the corkscrew, the toys and games), but once we found them they were greatly appreciated. The main issue was the damp. The porch leaked and made all our coats hanging on the pegs wet. There was also a leak in the snug by the window. It had been very wet outside, but a place to hang coats after a wet walk is essential. The play area is great for kids but one of the swings was rotten and felt unsafe. The stairgate, bed guard, buggy and high chair are great for families. The owners were helpful and thoughtful in checking that we were having a good time.

  It was a pleasant surprise to arrive at Higher Forda and find that all the pictures we had seen and description of the facilities were 100% accurate.

  We were all so impressed by the fact that everything we could have needed was available to us and for that reason we felt totally at home. The hot tub was lovely - we read a couple of reviews that suggested the hot tub wasn't hot enough but we took the time to follow the owner's clear instructions they had sent beforehand, and made sure the fire was burning for 3 to 4 hours before jumping in - and it definitely paid off... Like sitting in a hot bath but with the added bonus of looking up at the stars!! We were gutted we hadn't booked for 2 weeks in the end and will definitely be back soon (although looks like we need to be quick as most of next year is booked up already!) Thank you to the owners for making their beautiful barn available to us.

  We had an amazing time!

  The barn is beautiful and the setting is gorgeous - our little girl loved waking up each day to see the sheep in the field. The barn itself was so spacious - plenty of room for the 7 of us and it was nice and clean. There were lots of little extras which made it even better - from a box of toys and puzzles, drawers full of games, an extremely well stocked kitchen and Wendy house filled with toys! There was even a baby monitor. The outdoor play area was great and there were even ball games and crabbing equipment to use. The furnishings were of a very high quality and we all felt very much at home. We would definitely love to stay again. Lauren , Bob and Jean were all very helpful. 5 stars!
