  Just an outstanding property.

  Langdale barn is beautifully furnished and in a gorgeous village with a lovely enclosed garden, ideal for our dog. The footpath leading from the garden to the beautiful lakeside walk was a huge bonus. We loved the comfy sofas, the supremely comfortable bed, the fantastic shower and everything else in between. All the little extras provided by the wonderful hosts, Mike and Julie, were very much appreciated. From the delicious cream tea on arrival, to the bath robes and toiletries. We had a wonderful walking holiday, so much beautiful countryside to explore in the area. We ate at the fantastic New Inn, a few minutes walk, 6 nights out of the 7. A massive plus to have this gorgeous pub on the doorstep! Mike very kindly refilled the number of bird feeders in the garden part way through the week, the variety of garden birds we saw was amazing. We could have sat for hours just watching them! Also loved the wildlife cameras - another lovely touch. We loved it so much we booked for next year before leaving and can’t wait to go back.

  Really lovely stay - warmly welcomed by the host who went above and beyond to share the wildlife with us and responded quickly when we couldn’t find something in the house.

  Absolutely fabulous natural light with those gorgeous windows, loved sitting and feeling part of it all! The shower was the best of my LIFE; the kitchen was well-equipped for preparing food (including Tupperware for picnics!); and we loved the big table for craft activities, pile of blankets for snuggling, decent speaker for music, massive telly for film nights, comfy beds, matching robes, a fire to warm ourselves by with a good supply of wood and the well-stocked birdfeeders which brought in a wonderful show of birds! (Listening to owls in bed at night was a treat and then seeing footage of one in the bird box the next morning was a highlight!) Well-located for trips to nearby places and reachable by good roads (only got narrow as we entered the village, which was not busy at all in November) and a dedicated parking space was much appreciated. As a mother and daughter going for a week away together it was perfection. Huge thanks to our wonderful hosts!

  The property is set in amazing location.

  Couldn't sleep more peacefully. Plenty of bathrooms. Needed a few more facilities, such as a proper airer for washing, or actual pegs for the washing line. The property is big and there is room for this. The toaster was broken on one side and the other side the lever gets very hot! A dust pan and brush would be helpful too, instead of having to get the hoover out. Veg garden could do with updating. Plenty of room to sleep 8 people but not enough pots and pans to feed them. Understand the heritage of the property but with low windows on the first floor restrictiors or locks would be wise to stop the risk of little ones opening the windows and falling. The sofas could do with updating or a throw over them as there are a few stains. Smoky (the neighbours cat) is a delight. In fact the neighbours are a delight. And the garden is massive! Also an open pond to be mindful of. Would definitely stay again but a few small changes would be helpful.

  Or party of 15 had a wonderful holiday.

  The various premises were beautifully furnished and comfortable and the outdoor pool was fantastic. We used all the facilities too - BBQ, sauna, hot tub and tennis court iand enjoyed walks in the woods belonging to the property. The only slight inconvenience was that the Coach House only had a single oven so we often had to use the ovens in the other properties in cooking dinner and also bring some of therir seats over so that we could dine together - 8 at the dining table and 7 at the adjacent breakfast bar. The owners were very friendly and helpful - eg uncovering the pool whenever we wanted and recovering it afterwards. We were only 40 minutes from Bude for a day out at the seaside and also had a trip for a walk and swim on Dartmoor. The nearby Roadford Lakes were well worth a visit too - overall a great holiday thoroughly enjoyed by everybody.

  Fantastic experience.

  Great communication before, during and after our stay from the owners. The Only disappointment was that we didn’t get to stay longer. This beautiful Property is set on a small holding in a really peaceful village, the only humm is that off the odd tractor working the fields or that of the of wildlife that surrounds us. If it’s peace and quiet you want then this is the place. We stayed as a family of 4, with a 6 year old and 5 year old, they had access to a lovely garden to play in, and with the property all being on one floor we felt they was alway comfortable and safe. They especially liked visiting the animals that where accessible from the property. Both the owners are really accessible, friendly and helpful we felt very welcome there. Thank you. I hope we can get booked in again soon.
