Positives What an amazing house it has all you need it really is like home from home. The owners are lovely only seen them on arrival left us alone to enjoy our holiday and attentive to a couple of issues we had.

The beach and shops take at least half hour to get too. Beds are not very comfortable. Hide

Lovely location with attentive hosts when needed. The house is well maintained and has been fitted to a high standard. Bude beaches are only 20 minutes away which makes it a great base to holiday from. The separate games room helped if the weather was a little gloomy.

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.

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

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.

Loved ou r stay and will come again!! Thank you so much!!

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
