Higher Forda Reviews

Great place to stay. Clean. Good size rooms. Great scenery.

Alison

The accommodation was brilliant the only down size was the tumble dryer didnt ... The accommodation was brilliant the only down size was the tumble dryer didnt work as I noticed this has been said in the book of comments that was in the property and also the extractor fan in upstairs double bedroom was very noisy, if you go to the loo at night it took 45 minutes to turn off other than that is was a fab stay

Overall a superb quality, quiet & peaceful setting within easy reach of Bude or Bideford. Will most probably return, fantastic location........ Only iffey point is the hottub, its old, could do with renewing as could the boundary fencing. But had a great week, helped by great weather.

Lovely House! ! We had the best time and can't wait to come back. The house is perfect you can't ask for any more and the owners were lovely when we spoke to them.

Richard

We had a marvellous week at Higher Fords Barn. The accommodations is excellent throughout, fantastic large living and kitchen area, lovely bedrooms with well appointed ensuite to each and nicely spaced apart. Great facilities and general equipment which provided all we needed for our stay. We particularly loved the garden which provided much fun and enjoyment for the family. A real natural sun trap with amazing countryside views. Child and dog friendly under supervision. Location is excellent from which to explore the wonderful area and Sandymouth beach was an absolute standout. The very narrow lanes leading to and from the barn can be a little challenging and very pot holed but obviously outside the owners control. We had one small issue with the outside key safe but this was quickly resolved with the owners and communication and response from Lauren and Bob was excellent and appreciated. We will definitely visit again and fully recommend this super super holiday destination.

The barn was everything we needed. The garden and the hot tub were spot on. In a good location. Found the heating came on during the night. Couldnt reset? Couldnt fault anything. We had a lovely stay. Thank you to the owners

Great holiday, lovely home made us feel extremely comfortable and at home. Would definitely recommend.

Lindis

Higher Forda is an amazing property. Everything you need and more stunning views away from everything but still within easy reach of all amenities. Absolutely fantastic

It is a lovely place but the hot tub was a massive let down the bottom pipe wasnt working so took hours to heat up and from the guest book it had been having problems for a while. Little bit over priced but we made it work and enjoyed our week it was for our daughter 30th birthday The jones.

Nicole

We had an amazing stay here it was so spacious and comfortable and had everything we could possibly need! The garden was brilliant for the kids, and completely enclosed which was great for our dog who absolutely loved it. Well definitely stay here again such a lovely place for a break!

Higher Forda is a beautiful holiday accommodation. Everything has been thought of with such care . The childrens play area was perfect . We were 3 generations of our family staying and it was a definite

Lindsay

Lovely Barn to stay at, plenty of room, all the kitchen equipment you could imagine. Only downside is a barn next door that a couple are converting is a bit noisy during the day.

Lovely rural location beautiful views and very peaceful. Barn was very clean on arrival, well equipped everything you could possibly need and more. The layout of the barn is excellent for a family all bedrooms with ensuite plus extra bathroom too. Large open plan area plus another lounge. Great play area in garden for children. We had a lovely week and would return and recommend.

Lorane

Located down several narrow lanes, so quite remote, but that adds to the peacefulness.

Nicola

Fantastic holiday cottage in rural area. Very quiet and peaceful which gave us a very relaxing stay! No pubs nearby car needed to get to places. Would have been nice to know it had Netflix as we took DVDS but then couldnt get the DVD player to work! Some parts of the cottage could have been a bit cleaner but on speaking with the owner their usual cleaners were not available and they appreciated our feedback.

Lovley house in beautiful setting

Hayley

It was a pleasant surprise to arrive at Higher Forda and find that all the pictures we had seen and description of the facilities were 100 accurate. We were all so impressed by the fact that everything we could have needed was available to us and for that reason we felt totally at home. The hot tub was lovely we read a couple of reviews that suggested the hot tub wasn't hot enough but we took the time to follow the owner's clear instructions they had sent beforehand, and made sure the fire was burning for 3 to 4 hours before jumping in and it definitely paid off... Like sitting in a hot bath but with the added bonus of looking up at the stars!! We were gutted we hadn't booked for 2 weeks in the end and will definitely be back soon although looks like we need to be quick as most of next year is booked up already! Thank you to the owners for making their beautiful barn available to us.

1010 fantastic ! We loved the hot tub and was lucky enough to have clear skies at night to enjoy looking at the stars while relaxing in the tub. The barn was very spacious with plenty of room for our grandchildren who loved the garden and play area and would love to return. The lanes were really quiet and we barely saw any cars all week. It was ideal for walking our dogs. We had regular visits from the barn owl hunting at dusk. Overall it was a very relaxing break. Many thanks to the owners who had thought of everything we needed.

Steven

We had a lovely stay, just what was needed. The house was big enough for all of us and plenty of space in the garden with great views across the countryside. Location was good too with several beaches a short drive away. Would definitely return.

Really great place, Lots of room we had a party of 8 people for my wifes 30th birthday. Hot tub was great, heated up quickly. Family facilities are great, the slide swing etc. Neighbour is also really friendly had a good chat with her and her dog. I would recommend this for anyone. Bedrooms are great and bathrooms all ensuite.

Scarlett

The barn exceeded our expectations, it was very comfortable with every amenity you could need. Would 100 recommend.

We had a lovely stay at higher forder in Devon. The barn and gardens were perfect for us all. We would definitely stay here again if we visit Devon again.

Sharon

Lovely house, comfortable, well equipped and beautiful location. The children loved the playground and garden.

Suzanne

Excellent barn which was spacious and very well equipped. Location was great, peaceful with beautiful views and near Bude, Clovelly and some lovely beaches. When we got used to the narrow lanes driving was interesting with oncoming packs of dogs, cows, tractors etc! Sadly none of us fancied filling and lighting the fire for the hot tub, although had it been a Jacuzzi we might have done so. The children loved the Wendy house and the adults enjoyed the swing ball!

Absolutely loved it, very easy booking process. Good communication as the holiday drew nearer and the holiday cottage exceeded all expectations

We had an amazing time! The barn is beautiful and the setting is gorgeous our little girl loved waking up each day to see the sheep in the field. The barn itself was so spacious plenty of room for the 7 of us and it was nice and clean. There were lots of little extras which made it even better from a box of toys and puzzles, drawers full of games, an extremely well stocked kitchen and Wendy house filled with toys! There was even a baby monitor. The outdoor play area was great and there were even ball games and crabbing equipment to use. The furnishings were of a very high quality and we all felt very much at home. We would definitely love to stay again. Lauren , Bob and Jean were all very helpful. 5 stars!

Andrea

Brilliant place to stay! Was perfect for my birthday celebrations and getting the family together! Very well equipped right down to the very last detail! My grandson thoroughly enjoyed the garden playhouse and the slide! Would definitely love to return fir another stay! Loved the surrounding area, felt we were right in the countryside and enjoyed the lovely views over the hills and farmland! 1010 !! 5.

Francis

A great place to go for a family celebration,fabulous location and everything you could possibly need was provided.

The only thing I would say is that it needs to be made clear that the hot tub is a hot tub not a jacuzzi. Because I didnt realise from pictures etc. Apart from that what a fantastic place had an excellent time.

Samantha

What better feedback can i leave than the fact we have already booked to come back in May! Absolutely loved the property. My youngest child suffers with Autism and holidaying is normally an extremely stressful experience however Higher Forda was an absolute dream and like a home away from home for him thanks to all of the thoughtful touches such as the toy box, play area outside and built in stair gate. All of this extras made this the most relaxing holiday we have ever had with him! Thanks for a fantastic break
