    The location of the property was perfect for our family and in easy reach of everything we wanted to do. The Loft was clean, spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed.

    Excellent hosts, friendly and helpful. Enough room for my husband and I and 11 year old on the pull out bed. Added bonus of the swimming pool/ Great base to explore Devon and Cornwall. We will definitely look to return in the future.

    It came exactly as described and the pool was a big bonus, which my wife enjoyed every morning. It was comfortable, clean with good views over the surrounding countryside. Theresa and Chris couldn’t be more helpful.

  • "Absolutely fantastic stay!"

    Was perfectly fine for us as two adults and our two boys aged 11 and 13 who slept on the sofa bed in the living room. Still plenty of room even with the sofa bed pulled out, and lovely views from the windows out to the fields, with cows grazing in the meadows. The double bed in the bedroom was of the comfiest we’ve ever slept in! The owners were very welcoming and friendly. Great location to get to the beach at Bude or nearby coast line in Devon or Cornwall. The swimming pool was a hit with our boys, especially as something to do on the rainier of days. And no limit as to what time the pool could be used so had a couple of midnight swims during our stay! Definitely recommend, thanks again for a wonderful stay :-)

  • "From initial contact to departure date this was a well organised booking."

    The accomodation is excellent and exactly as advertised. The owner met us with the keys when we arrived then showed us around the apartment. There was even a complimentary bottle of wine in the fridge. Everything you could need on a self catering holiday had been provided from utensils to iron even a hairdryer. All the furniture is both practical and comfortable. The swimming pool is a nice size, clean and very well heated. This has to be the first accomodation where you can watch both Sunrise and Sun set from the same window. Both viewed over beautiful countryside. All in all this accomodation is excellent value for money. Mike 9/7/23

  • "Lovely loft apartment in the converted barn not far from Bude."

    I really enjoyed the pool although it was a bit cold (and I dont like very warm for swimming so did not expect jacuzzi temperature) initially perhaps because it just started to be used for the season. The accomodation is nice, comfy bed, peaceful bed and reasonably equipped kitchen. More coffee, working tin opener and some basics like more then one toilet roll and salt and pepper would be nice. Otherwise its really peaceful an great to escape busy life and city. Tamar lake is nice for fising and a walk around, Bude not fare at all or Boscastle

    The owners are welcoming and friendly and even provided fizz (thank you!). Everything as advertised and we were even included in their weekly fish and chips run! Had a lovely time and made full use of the pool. House was warm and clean and we were particularly grateful for the airer provided. Only things I would mention for future guests is the sloped ceilings are very low (so if you're 6ft prepare to duck!) and the steps up are quite steep.
