The property can only be described as 5 star accommodation. The owners, Steve & Helen, have thought of absolutely everything with regard to furnishings & fittings. Everything is first class. The welcome pack which included a large basket of logs, wine, fruit, cake, fudge, cookies, milk, bottles of beer, cordial & flowers was a most welcome surprise. The barn was a most relaxing & cosy environment with the added bonus of a hot tub. Although the weather was very seasonal, stormy at times, it was nice to be cosy & warm in their lovely barn. We dined in the village on three occasions and, in our opinion, the Anchor Inn was our favourite with regard to food & a friendly welcome. A visit to Hartland Quay is worth a visit for the outstanding rock formations and a walk along the coastal path. Good choice of food available in the Wreckers Bar at the hotel there with free parking. All in all, our 7 night stay at the barn exceeded our expectations and we would not hesitate to return in the future.

We would recommend Woodside without reservation. It is a beautiful home set in great location for local walks or drives out to explore further afield. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and like a ‘home from home’ including for your family dogs. The hot tub was extremely well maintained and chemicals checked throughout the stay. Helen was available when needed and nothing was too much trouble. We loved our holiday here and tried to book for the same time next year but Woodside has understandably been snapped up! if you are thinking of booking- do! You won’t be disappointed. Thank you for a wonderful stay- we will be back!

On arrival, it was welcoming to see the Xmas decorations. Our welcome pack was excellent, and our dog had her own pack. This is a highly comfortable place to stay, equipped to high standards and not to cost. The owners were really helpful and available at all times.
