Guests say

Waterland Old Barn in Holsworthy, Devon, is a well-received holiday rental with guests praising its cleanliness, cosy atmosphere, and secure garden. The property offers lovely countryside views, a games room, and a welcome hamper, contributing to a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Some guests experienced minor issues, but the overall sentiment is positive, with many looking forward to returning.

Most guests found the property very clean and cosy, with one report of mould, cobwebs, and a smelly dishwasher. The majority of feedback, however, reflects a high standard of cleanliness.

The location is highly praised for its beautiful countryside views and peaceful setting. It is conveniently close to the Devon/Cornwall border, with easy access to local beaches and amenities.

Guests describe the property as comfortable, with a cosy fire, a secure garden for pets, and a games room for entertainment. The property seems to provide a relaxing environment for visitors.

Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and games room. However, there were reports of maintenance issues such as a faulty dishwasher and boiler pressure loss, which slightly lower the score.

The hosts are commended for their thoughtfulness, providing welcome hampers and being responsive to guests' needs. While gifts are mentioned and appreciated, it should be noted that such extras are a kind gesture and not guaranteed.

    Very nice and comfy stay. Only point I'd like to make is that on a number of occasions the fuse on the mains electric box kept tripping. After some investigation we managed to identify is was the dishwasher causing the issue and isolate it so all the sockets in the property wasn't tripped. Just turning the dishwasher on to use then isolated after to stop the mains from tripping.. I tried to contact and left a message with the owners/number provided but didn't receive any response back... Probably just a faulty fuse in dishwasher isolation switch in kitchen cupboard, but to somebody not in the building trade could potentially of made for an unpleasant stay

    The Barn was well equipped, comfortable and plenty of room for 6 adults. The views to the rear of the Barn are beautiful, particularly loved the two adult swings in the garden. A great place for a family holiday, would definitely stay again.
