  • "Yellowland Farm was a perfect holiday for us."

    Rural and peaceful but with fantastic facilities. The pool building has everything you need for a rainy UK summer day. The house itself is cosy and welcoming. Hilary and Paul were friendly and you felt if there was a problem, you could speak to them. We would highly recommend

    The cottage was well equipped and very clean. We were a party of three generations who all enjoyed the many facilities especially the swimming pool. Would not hesitate to recommend to friends and relatives.

    Between the comfortable house, beautiful garden, swimming pool, games / play rooms, a very spacious playing area with park and surrounded by many farm animals :-). The swimming pool temperature was perfect. Loads to see locally with Bude, Hidden Valley, Clovelly, Bideford.

    As a three generational family it covered everything and we have never stayed in such a welcoming, comfortable holiday cottage. It's even better than the pictures suggest and the owners are lovely. Couldn't have asked for more from a holiday cottage.

    We had a lovely, relaxing 2 weeks here. The swimming pool, games room and outdoor play area were very well used by all of us, and my boys loved going to say Hello to the chickens in the mornings! Hillary and Paul are absolutely lovely and never fail to make you feel very welcomed into their beautiful home. I’ve been going to Yellowland Farm since I was 12 years old, I’m now almost 25! It’s been lovely to make precious memories with my children. And we have already booked for next year, so that tells all you need to know! :) Thank you again Hillary & Paul !

  • "Absolutely fantastic farm house which was so clean and comfortable."

    We had a fabulous relaxing holiday (5 adults and a 9 year old) We all loved the private pool, our daughter even learned how to swim, the jacuzzi was a plus and the changing room was just right. The games room was great, the snooker room was the winner for my husband. The playroom was a little young for a nine year old, I'd say it was for children 6 years and younger but the outdoor play area was perfect with a couple of chickens in a pen that you could collect eggs from in the morning (I would have liked to see them with more space though) If you don't like cats then this isn't the place for you as there are lots of them around the farm and it is hard to keep them out, doors do need to stay closed, however we love them and our daughter had a great time naming and keeping count of them. The owners are lovely and were there if we needed them. What more can I say? If you love the countryside as we do and want a relaxing holiday then you will love this delightful farmhouse which has easy access to the seaside, restaurants and shops.

    The swimming pool, the hot tub, the games barn were a very big hit. The house is a good size and we would happily come back. The only qualms we had is that we felt the fridge was a bit small for 10 guests. But apart from that all good.

  • "Lovely spacious, warm and immaculately clean old farm house with attractive and well maintained garden."

    The facilities are outstandingly good. In fact there is so much to do at the farm you don't need to leave it if the weather isn't great. The swimming pool is wonderfully warm so we were able to stay in with the children much longer than usual, whilst other adults lounged in the jacuzzi and looked on. The men enjoyed the full sized snooker table and the table tennis, pool table and table football were all a bonus. It's in a great position just 3 miles from all the facilities in Holsworthy so no distance to go when you run out of milk. It's less than half an hour to the lovely Hartland coast or the other way to the Tarka trail for safe off rode cycling with the children and also RHS Rosemoor is nearby. I would definitely recommend Yellowland Farm.

    The only thing I would mention is the bed size for 2 of our party who are over 6 ft tall. They struggled with a standard size double bed. I was at fault in not considering their needs when booking. We take for granted that in hotels these days it is usually at least a king size bed for a double. However that is just a little niggle. The pool and jacuzzi were fantastic and enjoyed by all.

    The pool is great and the family spent many hrs splashing about. Facilities are faultless, and more than enough seating for all (6 adults & 4 kids). We did find the beds a bit on the hard side, but that's more a personal choice and what your used to back home. Our main issue was not with the cottage of it's facilities, but the fact that the location is a bit isolated if you what to explore or walk the coastal areas (25min to Bude), but again that depends on what you want from a holiday.

    Hilary & Paul made our holiday very special from decorating the house to showing the children the farm animals. The house provided every comfort - a cosy lounge with wood burner, a spacious dining room with Christmas tree, an extra child's bed & plenty of hot water.

    The hosts, Hilary and Paul, were so friendly and pleasant. On arrival, there were fresh flowers throughout the cottage and some gorgeous home-baked shortbread cookies to welcome us. Hilary and Paul stopped many a while to pass the time of day despite having a working farm to tend. Our youngsters loved trying to feed the sheep (but they weren't hungry this time) and watching the chickens. Toffee, their dog, was very friendly and popular Our group ranged from 7 years to 70 and there was something for everyone. Plenty of seating, crockery, space - all very well organised and co-ordinated. Free wifi was available, but we struggled for a signal in the lounge area. Everywhere else was okay. All the bedrooms and bathrooms were comfy, spotless and well equipped. Parking for our 3 cars was plenty and the environment was lovely, safe and free from the expected farmyard smells. The pool and hot tub were used everyday - just a pity we couldn't use our sinkers and inflatables etc for insurance reasons which we understood. Plastic beakers were thoughtfully provided for use in the pool area - obviously you can't risk glass or crockery breaking in a swimming pool. The games room was extremely popular - table tennis, pool and table football (although the football table had sagged a little so the players couldn't kick the balls). The separate, full-sized snooker table was excellent, as was the play room with lego, mats, bikes, trikes, balls and much more. There was even some gym equipment. The photographs on the website are a little misleading. The wide angle shots make the rooms look bigger than actual sizes. Having said that, we were still very pleased with everything and had more than enough space for three families. One slight downside was the number of flies in the cottage. Fine mesh screens at the windows would resolve this but fly spray was effective. Also, couldn't leave the patio doors open as there were cats on site which we were asked not to let indoors as they aren't house trained. The gardens, play areas and outdoor seating arrangements were exceptional and used fully most days, thanks to the glorious weather for 6 out of 7 days.

    Thank you very much for your feedback, we’re so pleased to hear all about the great holiday you had! We’d just like to clarify for future guests that inflatables are allowed in the swimming pool (at your own risk) – it’s just that the owners don’t provide any, so you will need to bring your own. We’re sorry you had a few problems with flies; as it’s a farm environment this can happen occasionally, however it’s usually very short lived and as you’ll see from the other feedback received, not a regular occurrence. We very much look forward to seeing you again soon! Property Owner

  • "Another fabulous holiday at Yellowlands!"

    This was our 5th stay here. It has everything you want, it’s a home from home, excellent pool and jacuzzi and the location is perfect. This holiday offers something for everyone, wether you want a relaxing break or the comforts of home after a busy day out. Collecting the eggs, feeding the sheep, playing with toffee the dog or even a game of pool in the games room there is so much on offer. Mr and Mrs Cheers are friendly and welcoming and can’t do enough for you. We can’t recommend this holiday enough.

  • "The owners were extremely accommodating of our needs."

    They were very relaxed and seemed keen for chidren to experience the 'farm feel' e.g. collecting eggs. The holiday provided the wide age range : 5 months - over 60's with complete entertainment, especially on a wet day! Very successful. The younder adults found the double beds a little too narrow. The range cooker ovens proved difficult to get up to adequate temp. There seemd to be an idiosyncrasy according to which oven was used first.

  • "Paul and Hillary had the right balance of being helpful and leaving you to your holiday."

    Having the children collect eggs and feed the chicken's, feed the sheep out of there hands was an added touch that they will remember. also when the children wanted to stay more than go to a theme park it is a good indication of how much they enjoyed it there.

And, when you're ready for bed, head upstairs to the four comfy bedrooms, two with handy en suites.

Children (and the young at heart) will love the outdoor freedom here, with a pretty, safely enclosed garden around the house and the farm to explore beyond, where you can feed the hens and pet animals and play in the adventure playground, or in the games barn if the weather isn't kind.Snooker Room with full size table,Toy room,Games room and the star is the indoor swimming pool with Jacuzzi in the barn near the house for a dip whenever you choose.
