• "First impressions were good but I think the property could do with TLC."

  One person was in a wheelchair and the property is well suited, its very spacious, the bathrooms and kitchen were clean and at first sight everything looked good but the detail - Under the cushions of the settees was filthy (so bad that we spent an hour cleaning them ourselves), microwave is rusting, Barbecue was filthy, both double beds in the bunk rooms were propped up on bricks, door handle on landing to balcony had dropped off, door handle to one of the upstairs bedrooms was loose, black mold in downstairs bunk bed bathroom, toilet role holder dropped off(stuck on) in other bunk bed downstairs shower room, the corner behind large tv was dirty and covered in cobwebs, extract fan in one of the downstairs bathrooms not working. All such a shame and unnecessary it has been and could be a fantastic holiday home.

  We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Moult Hill Barn and it suited your needs, although we were disappointed to read your comments about the issues you have raised. We are pleased to say the owner is replacing the microwave, checking on other methods to support the double beds and is looking at fixing the toilet roll holder. Our maintenance team will also be fixing the balcony door handle and will ensure all internal doors are tightened. We have also let the housekeeper know the areas you have raised will need to be focused on including the barbecue however as previously mentioned the owner leaves a cleaning kit for guests to leave the barbecue as they find it (this should be clean). Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback and we hope you you come back to the area again soon. The owner experience team, on behalf of Property Owner

• "BBQ very dirty on our arrival There is a lack of comfortable o/s chairs Listing ..."

  BBQ very dirty on our arrival There is a lack of comfortable o/s chairs Listing should mention that it is a significant uphill walk from either North Sands or South Sands

  Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback for your stay at Moult Hill Barn, we hope you had a wonderful stay in this beautiful setting. We were sorry to read that the barbecue was dirty on your arrival, we do ask all guests to leave it as they find it so it is a shame that it was not left "ready to use". The owner provides a cleaning kit for guests use and if we had been aware we would have been able to send someone to Moult Hill Barn to rectify this for you as soon as possible. The walk is steep but very peaceful through a wooded bridle path down to the beach but we are sorry if this wasn't clear enough in the listing we will be sure to check over this and make it clearer where needed. Thank you again and we hope to welcome you back to the area again soon. The owner relations team on behalf of, Property Owner

• "I’d like to start by saying we had a lovely week."

  The Barn was a good size for our family holiday and had a well equipped kitchen. Me and my three teenagers were staying in one of the bedrooms with the bunk beds. The top bunk was so noisy when my son moved about that he had to sleep on the pull out bed so we could actually sleep. The double bed was also very uncomfortable, hard in the middle and sloping down to the edges. The bathroom in the wellness room had such a bad smell that no one could use it. The track leading to the house was full of potholes and quite overgrown, wasn’t good for our cars. The potholes had been filled in on the day before we left. We also found the area quite isolated and the country lanes very steep and narrow. North sands beach was lovely the water is crystal clear. We hired paddle boards from a company in salcombe.

  We are so pleased to read you had a wonderful week at Moult Hill Barn, it really is a special spot not far from the beach. We are sorry you found the bunk beds loud, we did check whether you would like the trundles made up for your stay in case the bunk was not suitable. We will feedback to the owner regarding the double beds not being comfortable as this is not feedback we have had before. We were sorry to learn of the smell in the wellness room bathroom, if we had been made aware of this during your stay we would have endeavoured to rectify this for you. But thank you for flagging so we can sort for future guests. We hope you had a wonderful holiday and hope to welcome you back to the area again. The Owner Relations team on behalf of, Property Owner

• "The house is great, perfect for large groups."

  ....everyone had a fab time...great kitchen facilities...it is very spacious inside and with every room having and ensuite, it was perfect...The rooms were all great size and space to have some time out on the balconies and mezzanines. Only negative is that I thought there was more outdoor grass area...Since the pictures were uploaded you have added a fence to the back garden so it is meadow, rather than unable grass area.

• "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Moult Hill Barn."

  It was a perfect getaway! We arrived into the clean, spacious and well kitted out house. It had a wonderful log burning stove with wood to build your own fire. It is a lovely short walk to The Winking Prawn pub on south beach approx 15 mins. Great food here! Lovely staff! Picture you put your head in :) overlooking the beautiful beach :) Then from there a 15-20mins walk into Solcombe. Here you will find friendly local people happy to help you. There is so much to see in such a small seaside town. What a gorgeous place to stay :) Thank you Moult Barn you were a real find :)

• "The house was beautiful, really open and spacious and the listing was an accurate description."

  A little difficult to find but if you follow the instructions on the listing that helps massively! I think the outdoor furniture selection could have been better. We had some beautiful weather but the only seating outside was a bench or some camping chairs. Some nice outdoor furniture (sofas/recliner loungers) would have been lovely. Overall a lovely stay in the beautiful house with the most stunning town of Salcombe only 10 minutes away.

• "This was a family gathering 4 couples + 3children."

  Lovely open space for the kids to run about and explore. Main bedrooms lovely, beds modern and very comfortable. Front bedroom with bunk beds not so good for adults, but then the large accommodation capacity is maybe designed to cater for young people. Very hilly all round, with narrow roads, only 12 mins walk south-east to North Sands , or 15 mins to South Sands. No east flat walking apart from round the property. Everything worked perfectly, kitchen and lounge well equipped. Super showers in the en-suites.

• "This is a great place for large families or groups."

  Good for walkers as is on the outskirts of town, and close to both North and south sands. The house functions really well with both social and private spaces. We went in October so didn't make full use of outside facilities but look forward to going again.

• "The house was amazing in terms of space and equipment available, would definitely recommend if you like space and countryside."

  We loved the bright open space and ours of bathrooms! If you find walking difficult then it’s not for you as the barn is at the top of a very steep hill! Also there are a lot of flies due to being in a cow field.

• "We have stayed at this property before in 2017 and returned expecting the same standard and comfort."

  However, the bedroom layout has changed (was 6 now 5) and there is now no grass garden. The grass area that remained as part of the property was not cut making it look untidy. Whilst the lack of grass did not have a massive impact on our stay the lack of outdoor garden furniture did and is a huge gap at this property. There is plenty of space on the outdoor terrace areas and balcony for outdoor sofas, loungers and just better quality outdoor furniture. There was no parasol (we arrived in the heatwave) and just uncomfortable wooden picnic benches. The indoor dining seating is also uncomfortable. We managed to find some seat cushions in a cupboard but these should have been already in place. The reconfiguration of the bedrooms which happened after we made our booking was a major inconvenience. Cramming 3 x bunk beds into one small some and 2 x bunks into another room is ridiculous for young adults/teenagers. They had nowhere to put their stuff. May work for young children though having 6 young children in one room from memory would equal very little sleep ! Also the beds creek and too many bodies in one room makes the room stuffy and opening the windows during the evening/night open brings in flies leading to bitten unhappy teens. We had to move mattresses to the vacant 'wasted' wellness room (former king/twin size bedroom with ensuite and balconcy) for two 21 year old 6'3 boys. Total waste of a large bedroom. Whilst we were told about the change to rooms before we went and given an option to cancel the booking ( but no option of alternative suitable accommodation offered) it was too late for us to find something else so we had no option bit to go ahead. The kitchen is very well designed and has plenty of space for a large group. 2 ovens, 2 fridge-freezers, 2 dishwashers is execellent. However, there is not enough crockery a d glasses for a house of this size, no way enough for 17. Also would benefit for outdoor plastic plates, glasses etc. In summary whilst the barn is a great design, size and location we were really disappointed that it did not work well for our 3 families and we would not book this again. For the weekly rental price we paid for this property the standard was not acceptable and we are therefore requesting a part refund for the inconvience caused. We believe a third of the price paid would be reasonable compensation. Please pass this feedback to the owners and our request for renumeration. Thank you. Paula Tribe

• "Fantastic barn conversion which we really enjoyed."

  Really modern conversion and rooms and bathrooms were well appointed. Several rooms on ground floor which was perfect for grandad who struggles with stairs. Room for improvement: Hard kitchen chairs not good for grandad, a few cushions would be nice. WiFi is really lacking, average 1.5mb download speed for 10 people.this was our main gripe. Very echoey in main area, grandad struggled to hear, could do with some soft furnishings to damped sound, a few rugs maybe? Minor points as we had a great time.

• "What a great house for a large group of friends!"

  Exceeded our expectations with a very high spec especially the bathrooms. Super clean on arrival with local groceries left as a welcome gift. A lovely open plan downstairs perfect for socialising and enjoyed the wood burner. Lots of space outside too. The only complaint from all three families was the track off the main road which had the most terrible pot holes. If we did not have 4 wheel drive cars it would have been a problem. I appreciate the weather has not been kind but this needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency and is unacceptable. However I have already spoken to your office about it, who kindly rang me during our stay, and have not included it in my review rating as presume this has already been actioned! Would definitely return......

  We are so pleased to hear that you had a great time at Moult Hill Barn, we agree that it is the perfect place for a family get together. Please accept our apologies that the track leading to the property was not in perfect condition, however we are happy to report that it has now been repaired. We hope that we will see you again in Salcombe soon! Property Owner

• "The house and the location were absolutely perfect for a large family gathering."

  The facilities in the house are of high quality, and with 5 kids in the party the 2 dishwashers really made things easy. Clean modern design and plenty of space meant that we could enjoy each other’s company, curl up with a book, or play in the garden. The more energetic amongst us could go for a run through the woods to the beach, or simply walk 10 minutes to the sheltered cove at South Sands. Lots of things to do in the area - a most memorable week. Thank you.

• "Our rating of excellence is in connection with the property which was superb in every way."

  However, in rating the likelihood of recommendation 8 rather than 10, this refers to the company not the property. It would have been helpful to have had an itinerary of provisions we could have expected to find on arrival. Having made three phone calls to get information (two to your offices) we were told nothing would be there including hair dryer. In fact we didn't need to take these or bread, milk, toilet rolls, tea-towels, tea-bags and several other items, all generously provided by the owners.

  Also some small to medium sized saucepans and ovenproof pans. Potato peeler was broken. Some sofas or chairs and a coffee table on the mezzanine would be good, otherwise it is a useless space.

  Thank you for your feedback, the owner will be adding more pans and oven proof dishes to match the stainless commercial pans for the kitchen, there is currently a complete set of 12 China dinner plates, desert plates and soup bowls for the guests to use. One mezzanine area has a sofa and side table and the other area has a mini pool table and a bagatelle game. We look forward to seeing you back in Salcombe soon. Property Owner

  We were a large group of adults and children and there was so much space we never felt cramped. The location is perfect too with a 10 min walk to North beach, and a nice 30 min walk into Salcombe town. Amazing break away and I cannot recommend this property highly enough.

• "This was a great house, very well equipped with lots of space inside and out."

  Lovely welcoming pack of food, wine and flowers. The only down side was that we had couple of little ones who were very early risers and the house is so open plan we were all up due to the noise . So maybe more suitable for older children. Aside from that we had a lovely holiday. Perfect location with the 2 beaches a short walk away but it felt like we were in the countryside. The children loved the ferry from South Sands to Salcombe. Would highly recommend and maybe go back when the children are older or just with adults!!!!
