Old Orchard Barn Reviews

This holiday cottage was perfect! Spacious, immaculate and tastefully decorated. Very quiet location and secure private garden with grass for dogs. Hot tub is a wonderful extra luxury. I did alot of research to find the best place and this was it. I would recommend if you have dogs or not as the cottage was so clean. Mark was a great host.
Teodora
We had a wonderful short stay at the barn. The property was immaculate and fully kitted out. The hot tub was ready to use as soon as we arrived which made the children very happy. Mark was very thoughtful and communicative throughout which put our minds at ease. The surrounding area is absolutely glorious with loads of beautiful walks and nature to explore. Thank you for a lovely stay for our family of 5 plus our dog!
Lovely location, clear listing, central for our needs as a family of 8 plus a toddler. Everything as described with friendly owners just a stone throw away. Would definitely consider for a future year. Thankyou.
Had a great stay here. Lovely place even though we had a lot of rain Mark & LeeAnnes home was very welcoming. Lots of room & great facilities. The hot tub was fab. Great garden area for our 2 little dogs to play in. Bit of a trek to get to anywhere from the cottage by foot but only 10 minutes in the car into Saltash where there are plenty of shops ,pubs & restaurants. All in all a great place to stay thanks.
Heather
Loved this property as a family I want to rebook for next year, just maybe for 2 of us first of all. Really good base for a lot of places to visit. There was a really good dog walking beach at Seaton. Want too stay again
A beautiful property in a great location for exploring both Cornwall and Devon. We loved the private garden and quiet surroundings. The beds were the most comfortable we have experienced during our many stays in the UK. Hosts were friendly and helpful. Some lovely restaurants and family pubs nearby. House had everything we needed and more. The photos online don't do it justice to be honest, it is larger and even more beautiful!
Fabulous property photos do not do it justice. Mark & Lee Anne were efficient in every way. Will definitely be back
Joanna
This property was stunning. The photos do not do it justice enough. We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay here. The place was comfortable, well equipped and nicely tucked away down a lane. The owners were around if we needed them and were very friendly. Local amenities were a short drive away. The hot tub was well used by us all too. We just wish we were staying there longer. Hopefully we'll be back.
A super place for the four of us. Spotlessly clean & perfect for our requirements. Nice private decking area & hot tub too. Excellent location for walking, beaches & Dartmoor. Mark was an excellent host. Hope to come back with a bigger walking party next year.
Michael
Had a lovely stay at this property. Super hot tub, garden completely dog secure, helpful non intrusive hosts. Of course there are some things you would change if it was your own home but that is personal taste rather than inadequacies. We will return
Lovely place, great area, thank you for the welcome gifts
A very nice place to stay. Great location. The pictures don't really show the sheer size of the old barn. Good secure garden for the dogs. Well equipped throughout. Great hot tub. Good WiFi but very little phone signal which isnt a bad thing! Had a couple of queries that were dealt with very quickly by the owners. Hopefully will be back , would recommend .
Richard
Lovely cottage with loads of space for the dog. Very clean and tidy on arrival with a nice little welcome package. Having a hot tub under the stars was an amazing experience. Plenty of space for parking multiple cars, would definitely go back with all the family.
Linda Or Lynn
Lovely place, great area, thank you for the welcome gifts
We recently stayed over the bank holiday weekend in August. 8 family members. From walking through the door we were all extremely happy and loved the beautiful space we had. All the extra touches and very comfortable beds. Hot tub to temperature for our arrival and a nice welcome gift of sweet and savoury biscuits. Both LeeAnne and Mark were very friendly and welcoming and on hand for help when needed. One thing to bare in mind is if you wish to go to a local pub but leave the car at home, ensure you book a day or so in advance as they are very unavailable. Other than that cannot fault the barn, loved every minute we were there. Thanks again and had a wonderful stay
Andrew
Beautiful place to stay and well located
Yvonne
What a lovely place to stay. Very quiet, lovely and clean and the new owners were incredibly helpful. We loved our short stay and will most definitely be booking this place again.
Absolutely brilliant. Clean, modern, quiet and incredibly spacious 6 adults had plenty of room. Even better than the photographs, which I know a lot of people have also mentioned previously! Such a wonderful property and we loved our time here. So many great features loved the TVs in all bedrooms and the hot tub. Fabulous value. Thank you for such a wonderful stay we would love to stay again in the future and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to future guests.
Loved everything about this place ,location accomodation,facilities proximity to places. But I have only one suggestion 930am checkout time was too early for us ,with two kids it's difficult to come out of hangover and get thme ready by 9
This was a really excellent base for touring cornwall. The barn was beautiful, extremely well equipped , spacious and clean. The owners have really given it homely touches. Great hot tub. Lovely welcome of goodies on arrival. We loved it here and would highly recommend it. We hope to return again
Lovely place to stay we all enjoyed our visit, We would recommend this to everyone it was Very clean well maintained and peaceful My only comment would be larger towels for larger people. Looking forward to visiting again next year.
Fabulous property and well maintained.
