• "Really fantastic property - very spacious, very rural and quiet."

  We loved the big kitchen diner - the stone floor and walls kept the place lovely and cool in hot weather. We loved seeing the cows in the evening which came down to see what was going on. We loved having a badminton court space which, despite being a bit rough and ready, was immensely popular with the children (and parents!) Overall, we loved Hayes Barton Farm and would definitely recommend it to large families / groups.

  Thank you so much for your feedback, would love to welcome you back again in the future. Property Owner

• "A fabulous house stay for a group of friends."

  Six large comfy bedrooms, with an additional double bed on a sort of mezzanine area, so sleeps 14 easily. Very well equipped kitchen, big pantry with large fridge and freezer for storage. Lots of car parking. Enough space for all to sit and eat at the dining table and a big living room. Great central heating, plus wood burners. Superbly quiet location, all we could hear were cows and owls! Note there are only 2 showers (one being the en suite which didn't lock) so takes a little co-ordination, but 4 loos and a bath. Do bring all cooking basics (including salt, pepper etc, as this isn’t provided) but there was a Nespresso machine with some pods to get us going. Do use the directions, the postcode isn't quite accurate enough (takes you just down the road from the farm track entrance) and I'd suggest a what3words location would make this easier to find, especially in the dark.

• "Perfect location for a large family get together, obviously Christmas time makes it even more magical."

  A short distance from Plymouth makes it an easy commute, but far enough away to put you deep in the countryside, providing plenty of outdoor space to explore. Fully recommended for anyone. Would love to return.

• "We have just spent the loveliest week at this property."

  The house is spacious yet cosy with a lovely log burner. Everything was clean and well maintained. Bedrooms were large and comfortable, very very clean. Bathrooms a good size with plenty of hot water. Perfect for large families/friend groups who want to relax and unwind. Perfect for dogs with lots of nearby walks, also beaches relatively close by for dog walks followed by a nice pub lunch. We loved it so much we booked for next year before we’d even left. For our large family it ticked every box.

• "We have just returned from a weekend at this beautiful farmhouse, where we were celebrating our granddaughter's 21st birthday ."

  There was plenty of space for all 14 of us to be comfortable. Immaculately clean throughout, large white fluffy towels provided , a kitchen so well equipped with everything and more that we needed . Dave, the owner popped across to see that we had everything we were happy with everything and then left us alone. A lovely seating area outdoors, table tennis and a badminton court in the barn gave the younger ones some exercise . The log burner was nice to sit with in the evening , before heading off to sleep in a really comfortable bed surrounded by the silence of the countryside, only interrupted by the sound of the owls . Would we go there again ? Most certainly !

• "We had such a wonderful stay at Haye Barton, with 10 adults, 3 children and 3 dogs all enjoying this fantastic and peaceful space."

  The house is well equipped, the beds so comfortable, and the views amazing. We made good use of the barns, the outdoor seating areas, and the large kitchen table, as well as the fields that we could walk in. Peering down the old well in the kitchen was fascinating, and we loved having the cows come to look at us in the evening! David was really friendly, and easily contactable if we needed him. There are so many good memories for us to look back on from our stay at Haye Barton, and I think we would all love to come back again one day.

  Outside space a little bit rural but it is a working farm. Very suitable for a large group of people (10 ++). We had a great time.

• "Idyllic and peaceful location."

  Lovely comfortable large house ideal for our family party of nine and four dogs, and scope for a few more. Lots of things to do locally and would highly recommend Trevallick’s Farm Shop. Great breakfasts and feeding the pigs was a popular activity with the youngest of our party. Only improvements I would suggest would be a bit more grass in the outside area and somewhere to hang coats.

• "This was a family holiday of 9 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs and we could not have wished for a better holiday home for the week."

  We were greeted by the owner David on arrival who was also nearby if we needed him for anything. The farmhouse was fully equipped with everything that we needed. Plenty of space and so peaceful! The cows visited in the evening which our granddaughters enjoyed very much. Our 2 dogs enjoyed the freedom of the nearby fields. The outside seating area with BBQ and a table tennis table was just perfect! No one wanted to leave so we will be returning for 2 weeks the next time we holiday in Cornwall!

• "Our stay at Haye Barton Farm was a very enjoyable week."

  There were 14 adults and 3 dogs, but not all at the same time, celebrating two 60th and one 90th birthday. It is set in a very peaceful, safe environment and we enjoyed our daily evening visits from the resident cows. The dogs were completely unfazed and even though they had free rein, never wandered off. The house is amazing, very spacious and comfortable as described. David was on hand if needed, but left us to our own resources. There is lots to do in the surrounding areas, but you do need to drive as the farm is quite remote. But that said, we were more than happy to stay put most days. My only little gripe is that dogs are not allowed upstairs. It would be useful to put this on the description as we only found this out once we had paid up fully and given the key collection/directions. Not good if you have anxious pets.

• "The holiday cottage itself is as described."

  The internal photos are accurate. Plenty of space over three floors. The sitting room was our favourite room - very warm with comfy sofas. The utility room has a freestanding, large larder fridge and larder freezer so a wonderful amount of fridge/freezer space. Very useful for large groups. However, the outside (for us) was very disappointing. We had four active dogs with us (Golden Retriever, Labradors) and we were very much looking forward to walking them over the promised 115 acres "all yours to roam free, with care", then have afternoons relaxing with board games/movies etc whilst the dogs slept after their adventures. But, regrettably, during our stay it was not possible to walk any of the fields - (even with dogs on leads) as the fields now had sheep with their lambs, cows with calves (and a Bull) and the other fields had been treated with slurry. However, if you did not want to use the 115 acres of fields (and I guess in a few weeks the slurried fields would be available?), then this holiday cottage is located in a very accessible part of Cornwall. Fowey was a lovely harbour village to walk around, Perranporth beach (1-hour's drive away) is superb with 3-miles of sandy beach (dog friendly). Bodmin moor was glorious and Jamaica Inn served delicious food (just a 30 minutes drive away). So in summary - a lovely, large farmhouse to stay in. Beautiful vistas and in a good location. It just didn't come with the promised and advertised 115 acres for our stay, which was a HUGE negative for us and our four dogs and made for a very different holiday to the one we had planned (hence the 1-star rating). Dogs aren't allowed upstairs either, which again, was not ideal. Therefore, had the fields been available as promised and dogs allowed upstairs, the rating would have been 5-stars.

• "** FANTASTIC FAMILY HOLIDAY IN A BEAUTIFUL BIG HOUSE ** We have just returned from a week at Haye Barton Farm and I can honestly say we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay."

  There were 11 of us plus 2 dogs and we all had ample room. The house and the surrounding areas are superb. We met Dave and his family during our stay and they were lovely down to earth people. Dave came round and told us about places to visit and eat and we found some hidden gems. These included the Wheal Tor Hotel and let me tell you the views from this place are spectacular and the staff were very friendly aswell. Another hidden gem was Golitha Falls, this was great to let the dogs off and have a lovely walk through the woods to find the waterfall and the dogs can have a paddle too. If you think this house is too far from the main attractions in Cornwall then you’re wrong. During our stay we visited Lands End, Penzance, Newquay, Truro, Looe and St Ives and the car journey’s didn’t feel long at all. There is a family BBQ on site which we used during our stay and a lovely outdoor seating area to socialise in the nice weather. The 2 log burners are fantastic in the house and are great if it gets a bit chilly on a night. Dave was always on hand checking we had enough logs. The dogs can have as much freedom as possible as there are lots of fields around the house. If you are looking for a big house which is dog friendly and out in the sticks away from the outside world this is the place to stay. We will definitely return and would recommend to anyone. Thanks.

  Thank you so much for your lovely comments. Really appreciate. Would love to welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes from all at Haye Barton farm Property Owner

  Amazing social space in the beautiful kitchen/ dining area, perfect place for family get together to celebrate a special birthday. The whole house was super well equipped with every utensil you could possibly want. Hot water was plentiful, all beds were comfortable and the house was lovely and warm, no complaints from any of our party!! David was an amazing host, welcoming, friendly and very knowledgeable of the local area, offering information on where to walk and visit. He had lit the log burner for us so it was toasty on arrival and showed us how to keep it going for the duration of our stay, something we all enjoyed doing. He lives on site so was available if needed but was not at all intrusive. We really appreciate being able to stay with our multiple dogs and they all had the best time, leaving Haye Barton Farm, happy and tired, a sure sign they’ve had a great holiday. We highly recommend this wonderful property and would definitely like to return in the future. Thank you David for allowing us and all our dogs to stay at Haye Barton Farm.
