This was our second stay in Boatlake Barn. We love the space and comfort that it offers with superb views. All of us slept extremely well in the super king size beds.

Absolutely beautifully appointed property, with very nice quality fixtures and fittings. Both bedrooms were en suite shower rooms with lovely rainfall showers. Beautiful big beds which were so comfortable - we slept very well every night. Dogs were catered for very well and each property has it's own fenced garden area with breathtaking views. TherRead moree was a lovely little welcome hamper left for us in the kitchen which was a very, very nice touch. A lot of time and thought has gone into these properties and we felt very much at home and we struggled to drag ourselves home after a very much needed relaxing and peaceful break for our 9th wedding anniversary. I'm sure that we will return, there's so much to see and do. Hide

The cottage is a bit remote, being a mile down a narrow lane; however its position was superb, facing west over the sea to Hartland Point and Lundy Island and the Sheep and Lambs in the neighbouring field, the 'Boatlake' Field, kept us greatly amused.

The cottage is very modern, having been completely re-built in the past 5 years. It looked superb, was certainly very comfortable and was generally very well stocked with ultra-modern equipment.
