"The fresh eggs and homemade cake were a lovely surprise on arrival and were enjoyed by all throughout the week."
The venue offered a tranquil relaxing stay. The hot tub was a keen favourite for everyone. The stars were amazing on a clear night.
The house was clean and cosy. The kitchen was a great place to gather, enjoying home cooked food and conversation, on a large beautifully crafted wooden table, although the table isn't flat, making eating and serving up a little precarious at times.
Generally a well equipped kitchen, although it was ashame the aga was decommissioned, so out of use.
A couple of things would have made cooking for a large party a little easier, sharpened knives, the few remaining are very blunt and more of them, a few smaller sized frying pans.. Otherwise pretty good collection of pots and pans.
The property advised that you are provided with bed linen and towels, so we didn't bring anything. The bed linen was fine, but we only had 6 towels for 11 people for the week, which was not enough. Especially as you are also using them for the hot tub, you were left trying to dry off with damp wet towels.
The wood burner in the living is a homely touch, but unfortunately is missing the seal, making the room smokey. It also meant that it burnt it's way through the wood at a fair pace. Hopefully this will get fixed for the winter.
Overall a pleasant and enjoyable stay, would definitely recommend.
Hi Lisa,
glad you enjoyed your stay in general.
Just to answer a few points you made the booking for 6 people in Hazel that is why you were supplied with 6 bath towels and hand towels. We supplied towels for the booking you made with Sykes which i have double checked. Hazel is a self catering property as discussed so most people bring extra towels for beach and hot tub etc. If you had asked for more towels which you didn't at any point we would have happily supplied them.
An oil fired AGA is extremely difficult to master and also run and service. The range cooker provided is very large and never been a problem for even large parties over Christmas.
You did mention the knives on the day you were leaving again we have spares as they do tend to go missing there is also a sharpener in the draw (i just checked).
Regarding the fire you asked for logs which we supplied as your father was cold, we don't supply logs until the end of October and our fires are maintained by a Mensa approved sweep. Hazel will be completed on the 15th October, although i could not find any missing seal these will be checked. I would also add for people reading your feedback that it was 23 degrees and your party had switched off most of the thermostats on the radiators due to it being too warm.
We are onsite and happy to help with any issue raised with us , it is therefore disappointing that you waited until you got home before commenting.

"Hazel barn exceeded our expectations."
The cottage was spacious and very comfortable. The owners have thought of everything we could have asked for, the stair gates were perfect for our party as we had our grandson of 21months old with us. On arrival we were greeted with a welcome basket of tea makings and a lovely cake which was an instant hit. The location was remote but just what we wanted away from the hustle and bustle. The hot tub was a hit too, and was checked daily to maintain hygiene and safety.
We had a couple of small issues that needed to be dealt with and these were handled quickly and efficiently once raised with the owner. We would return in a heart beat and highly recommend this cottage for large group or family holidays.

Damon always around to help if needed but we had no problems.
The hot tub was a massive hit with the grandkids. Would come back again just as a couple for a proper retreat!
Hi Tricia,
so glad you all enjoyed yourselves we would love to welcome you all back to Lambscombe. Oak or Hawthorns are both lovely for groups up to 6 or a treat for two and both have large commercial hot tubs.

"Damon & Karen were perfect hosts."
They were always on hand if we needed anything but didn't impose in any way.
Hazel Barn was perfect for our needs as we had to accommodate several family members from age 2 to 90. Due to the size of the property no one felt as if we were on top of each other. The kitchen facilities were just great with everything you could need with a really spacious fridge freezer. The outside space was perfect with a large outside table and chairs, but the crowning glory was tge hot tub, which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. We look forward to visiting again as soon as we can.

"Lovely accommodation, well decorated and equipped, with plenty of relaxing seating, very versatile sleeping arrangements over the 5 bedrooms and a massive kitchen ."
Owners on hand for friendly advice and a chat whilst respecting our privacy. The games room was great for the kids, even though they were all under 8, and equally as much fun for all the adults. The hot tub was a lovely escape and detox after long days out making the most of the countryside and beaches.
The welcome pack was especially useful till grocery delivery our first evening.

"This was a lovely cottage."
We had a fabulous time, the furnishings were all done up for Christmas with decorations which was a lovely touch! We arrived and had a lovely cake and lots of eggs to eat along with milk. We were worried about it being secluded but there was a lovely town 10 minutes down the road with a Sainsburys and a few take away places. We had a visit from the owner who brought us plastic cups for the hot tub which was a lovely thing for him to do.
Thank you for a lovely stay.

"Lovely barn and all furnishings in excellent condition."
Very homely with numerous ornaments and wall decs around the barn. Lot of private outdoor space, incl BBQ for personnel use and the hot tub was a bonus! As also was the games barn.
Owners of Lambscombe barns/cottages (Damon & Karen) are excellent hosts and always took time out of their busy day to advise us on walks /places of interest in the area and it is obvious when you meet them they are very much in the right business. We had minor issues in first few days which were resolved in ‘record’ time.
Damon & Karen have renovated a further 2 cottages, one of which we viewed and we will be back at some stage.
