Lympscott Barn Reviews

Rebecca
Lypmscott barn is a great place for a large group to enjoy a break away! Plenty of indoor space where we could all sit around in the communal garden without being on top of each other and outdoor space where the children could play on their bikes & scooters and also walk around the farm to look at the cows and calves in their barns. The hosts were Read morelovely and on request, allowed us to arrive early on check in day and were around on site if we needed anything during our stay. Hide

Thoroughly Enjoyed our Holiday at Lympscot Barn , Johnny and caroline Were so kind, there was everything you would require even milk in the fridge ,coffee, sugar tea . The barn was spacious and we enjoyed everyminute at the barn. Driving In the country side was amazing. Kids enjyoned seeing the cows milked. Overall fantastic place to stay.
Karen
We had a brilliant time at this cottage the farmer made time for us to see the cows being milked and answer our questions .They were also very helpful with any general questions We were a party of four generations and there was something for all of us Would definitely go again Just remember this is a working farm and cows get up early
Kim
Perfect space for our family weekend away. Great fenced back patio area to keep children and dogs secure. Hot tub was enjoyed by all and we all enjoyed hearing and seeing the farm.
Julie
Despite the Great British weather, we had a fabulous week. Lympscott Barn is built for maximum comfort, plenty of room for our four granddaughters to play, whilst we enjoyed the comfort of the whole place, including the hot tub. The farm life surrounding the barn fascinated the children, and was strangely comforting. A fabulous place to celebrate m y husbands 60th birthday, we definitely recommend a stay here, and hope to return in the not too distant future.
Nigel
Had a great stay in Kilkhampton. Good facilities, plenty of room for a group of 14. Log fire was nice, as was the hit tub and games room. Bude is about 20 min drive away so not far. V quiet peaceful location. Would stay again.
Lucy
Lovely spacious accomodation
Robert
We had a fabulous time for a 70th birthday with the family. The cottage was fantastic no complaints at all. Bit of the beaten track but that suited us. Would we go there again definitely.
Anne
Perfect venue to celebrate my 60th birthday with family. We were greeted by Caroline as arranged who made us feel very welcome. The house exceeded my expectations even though it looks amazing in the pictures. The ground floor bedroom with a wet room was perfect for my elderly parents, and very soundproof from the living area. Everywhere was spotles sly clean and comfortably warm (November). The hot tub was a nice addition. We all had a fabulous stay and would highly recommend this property.
kayleigh
Beautiful house. The owners are very friendly and let the kids watch the cows be milked! Great place
Denise
Very rural and peaceful (other than the cows at milking time). Easy access to surfing beaches, but sadly Tamar Lakes were closed during our visit. We were surprised that there was no cleaning in the middle of our two week stay.
Lynn
Lovely accommodation for our family holiday Would recommend and would love to return
Dharmendra
It was a lovely, well kept and equipped property. The Owners are extremely accommodating and at hand to assist.
Carole
Lympscott Barn was everything we could have dreamed of. The owners were welcoming, friendly and helpful. The barn was well equipped for the 13 members of our family who were with us - ranging from 81 down to 12. We loved Sandymouth Beach 20 minutes drive away and enjoyed walking on the coast path. The games room, lawn area for badminton cricket etc and the hot tub were all perfect. I highly recommend this property.
Julie

Harriet
We celebrated a 70th birthday with as many family who could come, we loved the barn and location, some of us even swimming at Bude beach! And pool dipping at Welcome and Sandymouth beaches. The house was warm and inviting and big enough for all of us.
Phoebe
Stunning barn out in the gorgeous countryside, with loads of room for 10 of us girls. It was very clean and beautifullly furnished. It had everything we needed including a huge hot tub and a games room. Only a short drive to the beaches as well. Would 100% recommend to a friend!
Jasmin
My family and I had the most amazing weekend at the barn and thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the property. So warm and conformable with everything you need for the perfect family get together for a special occasion.
Alice
Loved our Girls Young Farmers weekend away!! The house was able to make all 13 of us feel we all had our own space but are able to be together at the same time! We loved the farm tour provided by Jonny and the hot tub was used frequently! The walk to the lake was very straight forward and relaxing and the location to the town was perfect!! Loved ou r stay and will come again!! Thank you so much!!
Gail
We were a family of 10 adults and 2 dogs staying over the Xmas week. Absolutely loved the open plan kitchen, dinning room and lounge. We had planned on lighting the log fire, but the house was so warm we didn't need it. The bedrooms were spacious and plenty of bathrooms/en-suites for everyone. We had a fantastic stay and would thoroughly recommend this home to anyone.
Marina
Absolutely stunning barn, thoroughly recommend for large groups
Grace
Beautiful barn and was very spacious at maximum capacity. The hot tub and games rooms were a great addition and the owners were very friendly making sure we were settled in but also giving us privacy throughout the whole stay.
Carolyn
We booked the barn for our whole family following a cancellation the year before due to Covid. It's the first time we've ever all stayed together and it was very special. Very well equipped, lovely and cosy and warm! Lots of room for the grandchildren to play too. The hot tub is a great addition as was the games room. Great to have towels provided too. Although right next door to the owner's property, felt very private and although a working farm, very little noise. We would love to return !!
Malcolm
The barn space for our party of 8 adults 6 children worked well and we all fully enjoyed our holiday. The owners were very friendly and helpful and we all enjoyed seeing the cows coming and going from the fields into the milking parlour.
Tanya
Beautiful property for large families, everything you need but you need a car as its very far from anywhere.
