  • "Beatiful setting and gardens The outdoor wooden room very comfy chairs great to sit in and read ."

    Very comfy bed.Overlong curtains caused an accident. .No comfortable chair To sit in to watch tv only wicker iron dining chairs covered by fluffy white sheepskins. After a day out I enjoy watching TV from a comfy chair and about 8 some nibbles.Idont.like watching TV from bed or eating snacks inbed but understand this is personal 7 sheepskins in an area you approximately 35 ft.by 10 feet to accommodate sleeping area dining and cooking including sidetables bookcase and bedside tables so small.Despite leaving switch on longer no water sufficiently hot to wash greasy dishes kept running cold as it did in bathroom sink.3 cupboards of China one narrow cupboard for food The shoser came apart on day 3 when I tried to cleansoap dish.slide doordoes not slide so water fromShower gets through. quite a space.storage.smallfridge although room for a taller one.Food storage difficult for 7 days yet alone nine. Cooking a faff as no hob or oven set up apart from microwave oven which was not cooking through properly have to set up equipment and store back. Again personal choice I'd provide Cornish scones from post office in pack rather than Lidle nationwide ones.A welcome binder would be really useful. Fresh flowers all around in garden but about five poor plastic plants in barn. Clothes washing difficult had to boil kettle for dishes and clothes couldnot find basket to carry clothes to line.

  • "Compact, but generally pretty comfortable."

    Ideal if what you are looking for is somewhere to sleep overnight while touring around the area. The local shop is fine for the essentials, we didn't get as far as the local pub but have heard good things about it from others. The bottle of Prosecco and the packet of scones with jam and clotted cream were a nice touch.

  • "The property is in a great location, situated close to the coast and eg Eden."

    It is almost next door to the well equipped shop, and reasonably close to the pub, where we had a good pub meal. The garden is lovely and the outdoor seating very welcome if the weather allows. We were delighted to find a generous cream tea waiting for us. However, we could not connect to the wi-fi, nor get the television to work properly, or the cooker, which although not essential were annoying.

  • "Thoroughly enjoy our break, the barn had amazing decor and all the facilities you needed, the gardens were well maintained and enjoyed the peace and quiet of the lovely village, post office and general store had everything you needed, run by friendly people and enjoyed their home made pasties !"

    Pub not too far away and food was superb especially their Sunday roast, would most definitely recommend the barn and of course Sykes cottages who never let us down, we have stayed in some amazing cottages, thank you
