• "Loved loved loved!"

  April was terrible weather this year. But inside Orchard Barn we were in our own little paradise. Very well equipped and warm. The Barn is in a remote location, which again was perfect for us. Nice and quiet and rural. The velux roof windows let in plenty of light, but also had their own shades for night time. 2 bathrooms. One with a bath, one with a nice powerful and warm shower. Very easy to explore Cornwall and Devon from here. And the hosts are very warm and welcoming. Well recommended.

  Adrian and Vanessa are the most welcoming hosts. They go above and beyond to make Your stay welcoming and comfortable. You can pre order a grocery delivery and the welcome pack is most appreciated. The cottage itself is impeccably clean with all the essentials (even sharp knifes) with a cloak room that dries your wets and boots perfectly. Within the time of year visited (Late October) we were unable to enjoy the delightful garden but it’s beautiful nonetheless. The location is upon the boundary so you can explore Cornwall and Devon there is lots of advice on places to see in the folder within the cottage. We thank you for the hospitality & look forward to book on again. The Begg Family

  We’ve stayed in nearly 30 cottages across Britain now and this is among the top two or three. Hosts were so considerate with all the little touches and treats. Lovely dog walks across the fields and within the farm’s own woodland. Good position for visiting both Devon and Cornwall, north and south coasts; one day in Bude, the next in Looe - would definitely come back as lots to do near by. Many thanks from the Allen family and Kasper the dog :) x

• "Vanessa & Adrian were fantastic hosts."

  The property is lovely, warm and welcoming with plenty of hot water for 3 Adults and a pre teen boy. It is a home from home with all the kitchen utensils you need when making family meals as we did most evenings. There is a lovely little garden in the back which would be superb in better weather. Ideally situated for trips to both Devon and Cornwall. It is a working farm & our Grandson particularly enjoyed the tractor ride & the invite to help feed the lambs for which Vanessa kindly provided wellies. We were particularly grateful to Adrian for help with a flat tyre and all the family for the rescuing of the kite. I can highly recommend this cottage. Be aware the farm road is uneven in places if you are not a confident driver.

  Great to arrive to a cream tea after a long journey. Brilliant to enjoy peace and quiet, but also to be part of the farm and see the coming and goings, and see the animals. Exceptionally well kitted out, especially all the items in the kitchen that you forget to take with you. Our first holiday with Sykes and it won't be the last.

  Orchard cottage is immaculate, considered and contains everything you need for your stay. We stayed with our young family and they were delighted to see the animals and explore the surrounding peaceful countryside- and a few of the owner’s grandchildren’s toys! We felt everything was thought about to make our stay superbly comfortable and then some - Vanessa’s homemade apple juice, jam and scones were much appreciated. Even arriving late at night the hosts still greeted us. If you are after a tranquil location with on hand hosts this is the place to stay. Not to mention the great things to explore nearby, a beautiful lake 5 minutes away, National trust properties, beaches and more. We could have spent 3 times the stay we had! Thank you!

  Make more aware that if there are power cuts you will also not get any water at all and if it comes back on it can be sometime to clear the muddy water, we had to cut short our holiday because of this

  We wish to apologise for the issue you experienced while you were away. The owners acted very quickly to deal with this issue to the best of their ability and it was solved within three and half hours. We are sorry you felt you had to vacate for this reason. The property has its own water supply, complete with electric pump and filtration system. The taps need to be run for 30 seconds after the system has been off to make sure the water is treated and safe to use. Property Owner

• "The cottage was lovely, very clean and well equipped."

  Comfortable beds and lovely fresh smelling linen. It is worth noting that the towels were also lovely and fresh and good quality (I am always unsure whether to take my own as have experienced poor bedding and towels at some other properties, but this time it was a pleasure to use what the owner provided). Myself, my husband and two children aged 7 and 9 had a great time watching the lambs in the fields and were warmly welcomed by the owners. Lots to see and do in the area within an hours drive, or just stay at the beautiful cottage and relax. The cottage is on a working farm so don’t expect complete silence with the odd tractor and the animals chatting to each other- but this added to a great holiday experience for us and our children. The garden is very well kept but much smaller than the photo seemed to show, which was not a problem but a new more representative photo may be helpful, especially for those with young children expecting space for them to run around (there isnt much)- nonetheless our girls managed to do a few cartwheels and it certainly didn’t let the cottage down.

  One criticism would be how the garden is portrayed on your website. It looks a lot bigger in the literature than it really is and this can be very disappointing for prospective clients - a clearer picture of the garden would be helpful. With the deposit of £100, we are still awaiting this and wondered if you have any news. An email would be useful. Many Thanks
