Very nice place to stay out in the sticks and far from everyone. Nice wood burning stove only used it twice but made the barn very hot had to open the stable door. Only 25mins from Bude and 30mins from Bideford. Very nice for dogs and walkers alike or if you want some piece and quiet. Barn very clean and lots of room plus has a paddock for your dogs to run around in and if you have a dog that likes other dogs then the pub up the road is for you but read some reviews first. Plus very dark at night so good for looking at the stars.

The exterior of the property was not a neat and tidy as shown in the photos. The area was covered in large weeds some over two foot high. The seating area wasn’t very clean and not suitable for eating outside. Inside the kitchen floor was very uneven and covered in holes underneath the floor covering. The shower had a bit of mould on it and string holding something together but worked ok. Property other than that was furnished well and fairly clean.

This cottage was everything we could have asked for. I went with my family and dogs and we love every minute. We have been 2 years running to this cottage and we would go back again! Felt as though you were at home. Super clean and cosy. Highly recommend.

Spacious, modern, clean and well-equipped cottage.. Always nice to be able to drive right to the door for unpacking. Accepts dogs but doesn't smell of dog, which is good if you haven't got dogs yourself. Excellent location for access to the coast path without having to drive. Slightly weird being in a modern barn conversion in the midst of a rather overgrown farm setting with building works ongoing, but then lots of properties have their quirks. One suggestion would be to keep the weeds at bay which are invading the fenced patio area from the surrounding farm. We would be very happy to return.

Patio was full of weeds and thistles 18 inches high, there was a vase of dead tulips in the dining area, dish washer was full of dishes..

This was the 3rd time we have stayed at barn view, the cottage itself has gone down over the years but has got what you need, it is well equipped! Fairly comfortable, but the outside was absolutely disgusting! The gravel driveway was covered with dog poo!! We had a dog with us which we cleaned up after religiously! but we presumed it was the owners dog as it was allowed to soil the driveway I counted 6 piles as we left, there was no effort to clean up! And the smell was awful! We will not be going back!,

We had a wonderful week in Barn View, lovely patio area for the sun until late afternoon, the dogs loved the field next door, the barn had everything that we needed and more, wi fi was a bit hit for our teenage daughter.. The beach at Northcott Mouth was fantastic for the dogs. The walk to Welcombe mouth was lovely, a bit hard on the way back but well worth it. Had a nice pint at the Old Smithy. All in all 10 out of 10.

Property just as described.. One of the biggest we have stayed at. There is a small paved courtyard with table and chairs, which is set secure for dogs. An adjacent field is available to exercise them but this is not secure. There were some building works ongoing during our stay but we assume the remainder of the work to be carried out should not impact Barn View. Excellent location for walks to the coast. Bude definitely worth a vist.

Mr Treagust

The house was excellant inside and very well supplied ,however the hot water was only lukewarm and large piles of spoil at the site which was actually a building site made it less appealing all round.. The area of welcombe itself was just what we were looking for.

Barn View was a fantastic hideaway and the owner was lovely.. The local pub had great food and ambience and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Unfortunately Helpful Holidays called to demand a final payment a few days prior to the holiday which was upsetting as we were advised the owner was not happy with us. In the end, Helpful Holidays realised they had made a mistake as we had paid the balance weeks before.

The only problem I had with this place was the sleeping areas as the bed setter was in the bedroom, as my kids are older the can't sleep in the same room which meant one of them slept on the sofa in the living area..

We have stayed in Barn View many times.. The property itself is very clean, tidy, comfortable and well equipped. However it is let down by the outside, there were piles of dog poo left outside by the back gate and down by the wood store. The field is lovely for the dogs, but it is not enclosed as gated access has been made for the mobile home that is in the far corner. The mobile home now has a permanent tenant. The occupant was out firing a bow and arrow in the field, whilst we were exercising our dogs. We found this to be most uncomfortable so unfortunately we won't be returning again.
