"Have known this hotel for a number of years and it was one of the best in the area but now needing a facelift without spoiling its design.

"Arrived late at our stay and then realised that we had in fact booked for the weekend after! Disaster after a 6 hour drive and very little options. We apologised and explained the error to our host. Amazingly and also luckily the host immediately went to work setting up an alternative glamping pod for us to stay in. The place was immaculate, hosts are extremely friendly and everything about the trip was perfect and as described. We will certainly be returning."

"We stayed at Waterland Farm as a family of 9 (plus 1 dog) for a long weekend break and it was brilliant. The house is very spacious with lots of facilities, including a toy room for the kids, a PS /x-box and old-school vinyl record player. The outdoor area is massive and the kids loved the football goal and playground. As it states the field isn’t secure for a dog as there are open areas but she still enjoyed a run around. Overall a great place to stay and we would return! "

"Would highly recommend staying at high barns. Had a great week in north Devon. The barn is great to get to nearby coast/ beach and to venture further out. Great to be near a very large Asda! Communication was great throughout, knew where everything was and easy to contact if needed. Great to have air conditioning, private gas bbq along with lovely rooms and comfortable beds. Loved the use of the swimmming pool, and having allotted times. Very family and dog friendly! We would love to stay again in the future!"
