Absolutely loved our stay. The property was very well equipped and the building, furnishings and decor were characterful, cosy and comfortable. The Xmas decorations were lovely as were the Prosecco, Chocs and Dog Treats that the Owners had left to welcome us. Would definitely stay again/recommend to others.
Sharon
Exceptional accommodation in a very rural location. The cinema room was a great addition not normally found in rental houses. Owners were very accommodating and helpful.
Jon
An amazing clean house that provided us with a wonderful base for 2 families. The house and surroundings are just awesome. Very rural and a cars journey away from Bude and location shops
Sarah
Amazing place, all our party really enjoyed it. We loved the cinema/pool table room, the lounge area with the log burner and comfy sofas and sociable kitchen area. Found it easier using the B3254 road to get out and about, stopped off at Strawberry Fields Farm Shop twice, definitely worth a visit. Bude and Widemouth Bay Beach are lovely. Thanks forRead more a great stay. Hide

Great house ideal for a celebration or family get together
Martin
Fantastic property, spacious, comfortable and furnished to a very high standard, everything you need is provided, location is a working farm buts its very quiet and does not intrude in any way, we loved it.
Robert
We had a week at the property in August as a party of 10 (6 adults, 2 teenagers and 2 younger children) and found it superb. The cottage has loads of space, is very well equipped for a large group and is in a lovely location. The owners were very friendly and helpful but didn't intrude in any way on our privacy. We didn't have the best of weather, but the facilities in the property more than compensated!! There are lots of interesting places to visit in the area but do require you to drive.
ian
Fantastic holiday in great building that had everything you could want . Remote location with great views very peaceful
Charlotte
Horslett Barn is absolutely fabulous. The decor is beautiful and everything is finished to a high standard. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. The cinema room and pool table were a great hit as well as the hot tub which was situated in a lovely spot especially when it started to get dark as they had lights for the trees. We loved s eeing the cattle and tractors go past. The dogs are super friendly too and our dogs loved saying hi through through the fence. Perfect holiday!
Claire
Horslett Barn was amazing. Nine of us had a long weekend break and we had a lovely stay, thank you so much. The barn was beautiful, very clean, comfy beds, well equipped, amazing cinema room, lovely hot tub and a beautiful large garden, we couldn't have asked for more. The owners were also helpful and friendly who also left treats for our dog... :- ) Thank you for a lovely stay.... 5 stars :-) and we will definitely love to come back again :-)

The holiday home was perfect and the owners were lovely. Perfect place the relax and enjoy the surrounding area.
Steve
Wonderful, cosy and well equipped. some of the comments from our stay this place is fantastic, this is the best kitchen we have stayed in from 2 ovens and a wine chiller to the amount of plates and cutlery no items of kitchen ware was missing. Very comfortable beds, nice curtains great function room and to top it off the best ever log burner and an endless supple of logs how great is that. Its difficult to find any reason not to book this property and the owners are very helpful

Absolutely amazing weekend away for a birthday celebration, everything was perfect. The house is stunning and really well laid out with everything you need for your stay. The location is beautiful, the owners have created the perfect holiday cottage in our opinion, our whole party had a fantastic long weekend.
Sarah
As previous people have said the photos really dont do this property justice. It is a beautiful barn with absolutely everything you could possibly want/need. The barn was spotlessly clean on arrival and the owners are really helpful. We would highly recommend this property.
Sheena
Wow, this place was amazing! We shared a family birthday celebration in January so we could all be together in one place and it was a weekend of lovely memories. The games room was lovely and such fun, the layout was perfect as you could all be together but not on top of each other. We loved the residents dogs sneaking round they were adorable. It was clean warm and comfortable and everyone loved it. Will definitely return, thank you for everything.
Robert

Mohammed
Amazing place would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a amazing place to stay for a holiday or a getaway . The rooms are spacious and the barn is well clean. The owners are amazing too
Kerry
Absolutely loved our stay here! There were 7 of us and a dog in total and there was plenty of space. You will need a car as nearest shop is a spar 10 mins away or Bude is 25 mins drive but the house has everything you could possibly need. The owners were very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Would definitely return here for our next family getaway!
Cara
This holiday home is fabulous! It has everything you could wish for! The cinema and games room is a fantastic bonus. The house itself is just perfect, we had 7 adults and 1 dog in our group and all were over the moon with the whole experience. It is a little remote so you have to drive to get anywhere but that wasnt really an issue for us.definitel y recommend a stay here!
Jane
Very nice property comfortable away from crowds
Kirsty
Wonderful property, quiet and away from everything to relax and unwind. Our third visit here, and perfect for 3 generations to get together. Great space to be together, but also all bedrooms have en-suites so you have your own privacy. Well equipped, and a lovely bottle of fizz and box of chocs were left for our arrival
Craig
Stayed here for a week, the barn was exceptional with all you could want. Owners were friendly, we would highly recommend staying here.
Julie
This is a very lovely barn conversion on a working farm. It has been done out to a very high standard and is extremely spacious, comfortable and very well equipped. We went with our grown up children, their partners and our dogs. The hot tub was enjoyed daily and the pool table was popular. We had a couples and singles pool tournament which was gre at fun. The beaches of Bude and Widemouth Bay are not far away but do take time to reach because of the winding country roads. All part of the charm.
Paul
An exceptional high class holiday cottage in every respect. Lived up to our expectations with a very few minor issues. You need to drive a fair amount; however this is a super base for the coastline/attractions/walks/towns etc., for all the family, from Grandparents to the kids.
Julie
Beautiful barn conversion in an idyllic spot. Stayed in the heatwave and it was cool and comfortable (lots of fans) Owners really helpful and would love to stay again maybe in the winter to use that lovely log burner. Highly recommend a stay here.
Holly
Fantastic stay, in the most beautiful converted barn that caters to every need. The owners thought about everything. The kitchen is fully stocked, with stunning glass and table ware. Cinema/games room is amazing, so comfy and cozy and the projector screen makes great entertainment. Owners really helpful, and kind, always able to get hold of if need ed. Garden was completely secure for dog and surroundings just so tranquil. Brilliant location surrounded by things to do. We will be returning.
Laura
Fantastic week with all our family from new born through toddlers to grandparents. Well equipped kitchen (we cooked every night) and plenty of space to spread out. Lovely safe location for kids so quiet and peaceful but only a short drive to the beach. We would definitely rebook.
Tracy
Had a great holiday, 10 of us all different ages (4 generations) all enjoyed holiday , very spacious and clean, enclosed garden was lovely, lots of space. everyone friendly, would definately recommend
Steve
Superb holiday barn , has probably ruined all future choices because we will never find anything so good again.
Maria
We had an amazing stay at the barn, It had all the amenities that you could wish for!! The games room with pool table was great for all ages, everything was extremely clean, the beds were comfortable and to put the log burner on at the end of a long day was pure heaven. The owners even left Easter Eggs for the children and Chocolates and Fizz for t he grown ups...a lovely touch to make us feel welcome! Thank you...we will come again! x
Alana
An amazing cottage, we didn't want to leave. The house has everything you need for a family, spacious rooms and spotlessly clean. The owners even left us two dog beds and bowls out ready for our pets. The surroundings on the farm is beautiful and the children loved the friendly sheepdog who would walk past each day. The area is quiet and remote, no t much around for 20 minutes or so, however, we were pleased that Tesco were able to deliver our food shop. A fantastic holiday. Thank you.
Elizabeth
Absolutely beautiful house with everything you could possibly need for a great family holiday. Decorations/equipment are all of the highest standard. Would definitely recommend.
Chris
Fantastic house. Beautifully laid out. Everything had been thought of. We had a wonderful few days.
Sophie
The holiday home was absolutely beautiful. It was well equipped and had everything you needed for a weekend away. Its perfect for celebrations. The house is very large and has enough space for 10 adults. I would highly recommend this accommodation. Also, the host were amazing (even left a bottle of Prosecco and chocolates). Thank you for a lovely s tay
Terry
This holiday had been booked almost 2 years ago, and delayed a year for obvious reasons. It didnt disappoint, was worth the wait! The pictures look amazing when you book, and the reality is just as impressive. A highlight was seeing a flock of sheep bustling past the kitchen window. The nearby coastline was simply stunning. Just be aware that if yo u want to order out then it is slightly more difficult and involves a car journey, but the rural location is definitely part of the appeal.
