  Hi spoke to owners before as asked and were told a welcome hamper would be in the cottage as ‘there is nothing worse than a long drive and then not being able to have a cuppa’.

  We had a 6 hour drive purposely not stopping as provisions would be there but there was nothing there.I text owner and rang he said he would ring later but didn’t bother! We then had to go out again to find a shop as it was hot Tesco fridges we’re all down so then had to try to find somewhere else! We arrived back and we’re greeted by dogs barking in our face before the owner came up to us. She asked if we wanted showing around but I said no as we had already been here an hour but had to go to the shops as nothing was left for us. She said oh is it not in there I said no and I’ve contacted your husband but no real reply. She then said oh we had a very busy day and forgot you were coming!! No apology she just went and found us a packet of buns! I would of expected a ‘ I’m so sorry’ and the next day for our hamper to be given to us with a sorry. Nothing we did not see or speak to the owners once! As we were leaving the owner came out of his cottage and said ‘oh we haven’t been introduced ‘ I was gobsmacked at the lack of welcome or apology and have never had that type of experience ever. It spoilt the beginning of our holiday as in the book people commented on how lovely a welcome they got along with the provisions which were wonderful. Well we got neither nor an apology of any kind. Shocking way to greet people or not greet them. This was our first holiday since covid. What a shame.I will do my own review on Tripadvisor anyway.

  As soon as we arrived, Mugwell Barn felt like a home from home with everything we could possibly need for our holiday and with lots of storage to put all our things away.

  The welcome pack was very much appreciated and very generous. There are lots of leaflets with places to visit. We were very glad of the fan at night, as we had the most amazing weather during our stay and the barn got quite warm while we were out and about exploring. Lyn and David are the perfect hosts … helpful, friendly, but allowing you your privacy. Mugwell is a great base to explore the area, both Cornwall and Devon. We visited Tavistock, Edgcumbe, Bodmin Moor, Dartmoor as well as the coast (Polperro, Fowey, Bude) and did a few forest walks too. Some of the roads are very narrow, which added to the fun of exploring. We walked to the local pub a couple of times, the food is good, hearty food. The only thing we’d change would be a secure boundary to allow our dogs to roam about safely while we were in the barn, but there is a field close by for the dogs to be let off lead, so it wasn’t really an issue for us and we kept the dogs on long lines when we had the doors open so that they couldn’t roam too far (and so that we could relax without wondering what mischief they were up to!). We would stay at Mugwell Barn again and would definitely recommend it to anyone. Thank you for making us so welcome.

  We had an amazing few days in Tre barn and were so sad to leave!

  It was beautifully decorated and furnished. The high ceilings with wooden beams and the wooden flooring was just beautiful. With lovely little touches and details, such as motion sensor light in the bathroom, plenty of hooks to hang coats etc, prosecco chilling on arrival. The super king bed was the comfiest bed we've ever slept in! The location was perfect - lovely and quiet but close to get into Crantock and Holywell for the beaches but not far to drive into Newquay either. We found the barn super dog friendly and our dog settled in straight away - dog towels provided, biscuits, dog bowl. The astroturf grass and enclosed garden were a huge bonus for us with the dog - and something we find hard to find when looking for holiday cottages!! We couldn't fault Tre at all and will most certainly be back - we are already looking at when to book again!

  This is our third lucky time booking with Skyes.

  ..communication and booking an easy process We wanted a dog friendly accommodation ..that was our next consideration We wanted to stay on the Devon/Cornwall border..to see friends in both counties We like unusual looking properties. .with a history which was there with Mugwell Barn..a small barn conversion...for 2 A well equpped propery providing for all eventualities. Furnishings and fittings of high standard and quality Peaceful, tranquil surroundings...but easy access to coastline and cities if preferred..so we had a very varied time at Mugwell Barn for our week...even walked across country to the local pub Good communication with the owners Wine scones milk butter orange juice on arrival a bonus The general environment a real treat

  Clean and mostly as described.

  . 1 set of sheets and 1 set of towels are not enough for 5 nights and definitely not enough when you are not allowed to use the towel rack to dry them because the heating is off and you are being lied to that the heating is on a timer for 4 hours a day! I should be able to use the heating and everything else whenever I please and not ask for permission or having to wait for a set time to dry towels! Tv in the bedroom would have been nice and the charge to use the washer and dryer seemed a bit much! The fact that it is located so close to a main road is bothersome as it can get quite noisy! Check in so late and check out so early also not good. Would recommend something bigger if travelling with pets!
