"An excellent cottage and a wonderful area."
Even if the weather was wet! I do not think it had been used for awhile as there were a few cobwebs and there were no firelighters to get us through the first night.
But a lovely place and very comfortable. The owners were very friendly and they gave me the feeling they would have been helpful if we had needed them.
We are pleased you found the cottage comfortable. The Hayloft has been busy, and not left unattended, but it is a beamed cottage and there are cobwebs that magically appear within a day. We do hoover and clean thoroughly and are aware of all the hiding places but a C14th beamed and rough stone cottage is prone to the odd cobweb. We do have a log basket by the side of the woodburning stove, which usually has a few logs in it, and there is a large corn bin outside the kitchen door also with logs, we don't usually supply firelighters, as we don't use them ourselves as the wood is very dry. We did put a Christmas Tree and Festive Wreath in the cottage to greet you on your arrival, and hope to see you back again..

"The property was old and smelt must and damp."
It was clean but lots of spiders and other insects to contend with. The shower water was not hot for most of the time especially if other people were occupying other areas of the property, as it was attached to two others. Beautifully quiet and a lovely setting but not a place for an autumn or winter break
Hello, Yes, The Hayloft is a 14th Century property, one of the oldest stone and beamed buildings on the property. It is located on the upper ground level of a double storey long barn and does not suffer from mouldy musty or damp conditions anywhere. The Hayloft has its own independant services and does not share hot water with any other parts of the property. The level of hot water desired is selected by means of the shower control bar in the shower itself. You could simply have asked. There is always someone to help. The Hayloft is available year round and is popular for Autumn and Winter breaks when the woodburning fireplace creates a welcoming ambience for Country lovers who enjoy the pure verdant country setting to be found here. The Hayloft is not "connected to two others"?

"We have had a lovely relaxing holiday at Magnolia lake."
The facilities and equipment are excellent, everything you need! Lovely exploring all the grounds with the variety of plants and trees. The owner Dianne and Ben very helpful. The only slight thing I would say is that the house keeper/ cleaner just gives it a little spruce up, I do realise it’s an old building with lots of stonework, but the cobwebs etc especially round curtains, windows etc have been there quite a while, but as I say it didn’t spoil our few days there. A beautiful location.
Thank you so much for choosing The Hayloft for your holiday here in Devon. I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay and also enjoyed the gardens too. We would love to welcome you again.
Very best wishes to you and your husband.

"The property is very clean and tidy."
The four poster bed was very comfortable. All utensils required for cooking were made available as was all other requirements. The owner Diane was extremely helpful both before our arrival and during our stay. Diane made time to talk to us on a couple of occasions and we had many exchanges of stories. The property sits in a very quiet and tranquil place and has some pleasant walks around the grounds.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments and feedback on your stay with us here at The Hayloft@Magnolia Lake in Devon. We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay. I enjoyed the opportunity of meeting you both and hope you will have a chance to come and stay here with us again. Very best wishes, Diane

"Oh lord, it was just a feeling that we were in another world, if you want to enjoy nature, fresh air, watch pheasants and other things through the windows of the house."
Spend evenings accompanied by birdsong, you can enjoy it in a wonderful cottage where you can see the real English style that they try to maintain and pass on to their guests. Thank you Diana for a wonderful week spent at your place with love from Marites and her family.
