When I booked I informed the gentleman that I would like to book for the Friday arrival for one week but may not be able to arrive until the Sunday which would reduce my stay to five nights.. There was no change to the price so financially no loss for Sykes or the property owner but out of courtesy could he check with the owner that this was ok. I was placed on hold for a while, the operator came back and confirmed this was fine. However when I spoke to the property owner she had not been made aware that we may only stay for five nights from the Sunday so I was disappointed with this.

What a beautiful stylish, well appointed and homely cottage.. We had an amazing week here where we couldn't fault anything. Everywhere was spotless and we were given a very warm welcome by Mandy and Nick. We can highly recommend. ....definitely five star accommodation. ..

A fantastic holiday in an amazing barn, owners were lovely and provided excellent facilities and such a warm welcome.. Also, Sykes have been really good, always ready to help with any queries and keeping in touch in the lead up to our holiday. We would fully recommend them and will use them in the future. Thank you

A beautiful barn conversion.. Just outside Okehampton, so near to amenities. Plenty to do in the area or just chill around the barn and its surrounding land. Everything you could wish for in a holiday cottage. The property owners are really lovely and helpful. The barn is very homely and is furnished fabulously. The milk and biscuits were much appreciated on arrival ready for a much needed coffee. Will definately return in the future.

Fantastic little cottage, the decor was neutral and modern, the level of finish was very high and the bathroom was wonderful.. Being of an ‘upside’ down arrangement made the bedrooms much cooler, which was lovely in the middle of a heat wave. The garden was brilliant for our son, who played football in the field, played on the rope swing and waded through the river, which he loved doing. Although. the owners were away on holiday themselves, Mandy text several times to make sure everything was okay. Overall a fantastic relaxing break.

The layout of the cottage was well thought out, we were staying in the cottage when the weather was very hot, because the bedrooms were on the ground floor it was very comfortable for sleeping plus it was a very comfy bed.. We can't praise it enough,good kitchen and lovely bathroom. I just wish I could of left a message in their visitor comment book but I'm just getting over a broken wrist and still unable the write. Okehampton is a lovely town and everyone was so friendly, we would love to go back. Chris and Adrian

As a photo guide book (In barn itself) tells you this accommodation was a barn conversion.. As such it was designed from the start to be a holiday let. This shows in the quality and layout of the barn, I couldn't fault it.Well done to owners and builder...... My wife and I both agree its the best holiday stay we've had. Owners were very approachable and are there to assist if needed. Ask them about the small walk at back of property along river. Barn was very conveniently placed for walks on Dartmoor. We did a lot of walking and didn't have travel more than 45 mins to furthest side of Dartmoor itself. We will definitely be going back.....

Owners bent over backwards to make sure we had everything we needed and are very welcoming.. The site is perfect for its tranquility and ideal for us as we cycled the Coast to Coast route, in sections, and wanted a central base halfway along the route. The owners provided us with secure storage for our bikes and even provided early learning books/toys for our baby granddaughter who visited for a few days. My wife and I are seasoned travellers and can honestly say this was one of the best rentals we have ever made. Congratulations to the owners for getting everything spot on.
