  We loved staying in Brambleberry Barn.

  It is beautifully spacious, clean and exceptionally well equipped. As we had our dog with us it was very important the garden was enclosed. It is and we could relax knowing he was safe. He loved the garden btw. We were blessed with wonderful sunny weather so the air conditioning in the living area was a great bonus. We liked the location being a short drive from Spilsby. It was very quiet with lovely views and a good base for different types of days out ( Skegness, Gunby Hall, Tattershall Castle,Woodhall Spa and the Kinema). Plus Thursday -Sunday a short walk to the Eaves Inn ( great food and staff). The furnishings inside the Barn were good quality. The gardener came while we were there and we saw how well kept it was. The farmer also cut and baled the hay in the field which entertained the dog! Minor maintenance is needed on the downstairs bathroom shower cord; upstairs smaller en-suite towel rail. Please check the living room rug for anti slip as we had to be careful with it folding up. Maybe consider a front gate as we were nervous the dog might slip past us when opening the front door. But it is a very quiet road and the dog enjoyed his ‘perch’ on the middle landing. Also a second front door key would be handy as we were 2 families with cars sometimes wanting to do different things. Thank you for this wonderful accommodation. We have recommended it to our sister and her adult children ( with dogs).

  The location of this holiday home is wonderful, overlooking the harbour at Looe in the quieter West Looe. All of the rooms that face towards the front of the house have exceptional views and lots of light. In contrast all of the rooms at the back of the house are dark and have a damp feel to them. There is a bathroom for every bedroom which is great. A blind was missing from one of the bathroom windows though which left the user somewhat exposed. This property is on three floors and is not accessible for anyone with any mobility issues. It is only suitable for physically fit and non-disabled people. The parking space is difficult to access. You have to reverse along a narrow track to get to it and then it is a tight space to reverse into. The parking space is not identified as belonging to the property and was taken by a resident of another property when we moved our car for the day. The check out time of 9am is unreasonable, especially given the flights of stairs you need to take your things up and down to move out and in. It is a property of two halves - the front rooms are lovely, the back rooms less so. We would not book it again as it didn't feel like a coherent, friendly and private place to us.

  Brambleberry barn is a beautiful, comfortable, spacious, light, quiet and warm place to stay.

  All the beds were comfortable and clean. The kitchen is extremely well equipped and there is plenty of good seating in the living room. All the rooms garden and hot tub enjoy fantastic views especially of the sunsets. The utility room was very useful with 2 dogs and the dog extras like towels and bowls were lovely. The garden is large and fully enclosed, even for my Yorkshire Terrier. The quality of the fixtures and fittings is plain to see. Our only niggle was the fact that the driveway is shared with the person in the annex, attached to the barn. We had no idea that there was a shared driveway or in fact someone else would be on site and we think Sykes should make that clear when promoting the barn. Although, the information given on Sykes said parking for 3 cars, when we looked at the photos, we realised that we could easily park 4 cars. We were a party of 4 single ladies travelling from different directions and needed the space so this was important to us. However, what we didn’t know of course was the fact that the driveway is shared! Luckily, we had small cars so we managed by careful parking but we feel this is an important fact to advertise!

  Stunning house, tranquil setting and alot bigger than I thought.

  All rooms were more than adequate for our personal needs. En suite bathroom is luxurious. Family bathroom equally as nice, with a bath and separate shower. The whole family enjoyed the property as the kids were kept entertained in the games room, the adults had a relaxing time in the hot tub and sat outside chilling with a few drinks. There are a couple of really minor issues. 1. Games room, arcade machine was great for the kids, but we had no idea which buttons were A B C D etc, maybe a laminate on wall to indicate which button is which. 2. Family bathroom the plug needs fixing in the bath. As I said really minor, did not affect the overall quality of the house. Also thank you again Alan for the surprise visit with the Christmas gift, was very welcome, hopefully we would like to return at some stage.

  Well-located in quiet West Looe but with spectacular views across the river to East Looe and the beach. Four spacious bedrooms each with en-suite and a cosy living/dining area. Well-equipped and ideal for our one week stay in June. Parking for one vehicle is challenging but manageable and we parked a second vehicle not far away on Marine Drive which has no restrictions. The walk to East Looe and most of the shops can be much shortened by the £1 passenger ferry. Plenty of activities to pass the week and we especially enjoyed the 5 mile boat trip to Polperro. If you have any issues or questions the owner is very helpful. Little touches like the welcome food basket and fresh flowers on the dining table were much appreciated.
