  The location is very peaceful on a working farm but is remote as we expected and you do need a car.

  The hosts Mr and Mrs Hobbs are great there if you need them but not intrusive. The description for the bedroom in the eaves I think needs to be made clearer for the round house. It is completely open to the seating are below and there is no door on the bedroom. If someone is in bed and there are people in the kitchen/seating area they would be disturbed as happened for us. I do not sleep well but did not want to get up in the middle of the night and disturb my daughter in the upstairs room. Some of the property is looking tired - the bathroom is very dark and has dark wall covering and there is no natural light and the seal around the bath is looking very tired - I found the bathroom rather depressing. The kitchen is also looking rather tired but has plenty of items for any kind of cooking and the cooker and hob worked fine. The settee is also very old and rather uncomfortable. The surrounding grounds are lovely on this property and there are a number of picnic tables you can make use of but no seating area outside this property as it opens up onto the side where cars park. There is a table outside the window to the side of the kitchen which we used a few times. There can be a number of large trucks passing through to the next farm and they do go rather fast - more a warning for anyone with dogs and children - not enough to spoil the amazing peace of this property. We would stay at Lee Barton Farm again but not in the round house if there were more than 2 of us due to the bedroom being so open and the bathroom. Had a great week and walked to Duckpool a steep walk but lovely when you get there.

  Beautiful cottage for our wonderful Autumn stay.

  I know it's an old property, but the amount of cobwebs around the lights and especially behind the headboards of the single beds were a little off putting - a good vacuum would sort this. Lots of clutter, ornaments etc, where you could see that they've been polished around. Too many plates cups and too much cutlery for a cottage sleeping only 4. The bathroom light is temperamental. The fire in the living roomed worked, however the display did not light up. The upstairs main bedroom the floorboards move so much we were worried the wardrobe and chest of drawers would tip over, or the ornaments would fall and smash. Please remember to take a toilet roll as we arrived before going to the shops and there wasn't no toilet roll at all. However we did have a lovely stay, during storm Ciarán, we certainly couldn't hear much of the bad weather from inside the cottage and we were warm enough. A well stocked shop a short walk down the road and a lovely café. We would like to return to this beautiful cottage.

  The cottage is in an ideal location with all local supermarkets and the town centre being a short 5-10 minute drive away.

  There is very little sound of passing traffic due to the location of Trevalgas cottages. As a result, the sheep and birds can be heard all throughout the day which is very calming. The cottage itself was extremely clean and comfortable. It had everything from cutlery to a fully equipped picnic basket! The on-site laundry room is especially handy and the heated swimming pool is a bonus. I would highly recommend Honeysuckle cottage to those looking for an alternative to a hotel and wish to be a little closer to nature. My partner and I, and our 2 dogs, will definitely be returning! Thank you to Reneé for the cleanliness and upkeep of the property ♡

  Just a few things.

  The noise from the cottage that goes over the downstairs bedroom is excessively noisey.To us it didnt matter to much because we were out most of the time, but it usually went on till about 9pmish very loud, hear people thumping across the flooring, children sounded very loud as they ran across the floor.Also no programe guide on the downstairs tv, and the tv in the bedroom most of the channels didnt work.The barn conversion its self was lovely, very clean and tidy, its location is ideal with some very beautiful country side surrounding it.We loved staying there and would deffinately stay again.A dish washer would be very handy also.

  We had the most enjoyable week, The cottage had everything we needed, although it was smaller than I expected, if like us you are only going to use this as a base and intend to be out and about for most of the day it is perfect, it is perfectly located for visiting many tourist sites and less than a 10-minute drive from the beautiful Summerleaze beach & the town centre with plenty of shops & bars, there is also a lovely walk down by the canal, all in all, we had a lovely, relaxing week and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys long walks in tranquil surroundings
