Stunning renovation/conversion, oak floors and beams, light and airy bedrooms and living space, everything has been done with thought and style to a high standard. I booked the Hayloft for a long weekend for my family to celebrate my Mother's 60th, everyone fell in love with the place, Caroline and James made us all feel very welcome, even left a birthday card and bottle of Prosecco for my Mum, a really kind touch. The cot provided was lovely (most places I will only use my own travel one), facilities wise everything you could possibly need was provided, well equipped kitchen and fabulously comfy beds. The arrangement of the living area upstairs works perfectly, the view out of the patio windows in the mornings is great, having a cup of tea watching the birds on the feeders. We also brought our lurcher, so having a utility room on the ground floor was very handy for mutt cleaning/drying after a walk and letting her out at night. A random aside, the place is absolutely spotless, which with a 7 month old crawling is appreciated. We also looked around the 2 bed, Hunters lodge, wow, I want the kitchen and bathroom!!

All to often in the UK when you see 5 star ratings the accommodation can fall short of you valid expectations, this is certainly not the the case with The Hayloft.
Caroline and James have thought about everything to ensure you have the most enjoyable holiday, from the luxury bathrooms, top class furnishing, fully equipped kitchen and with views that take your breath away.
You only need to read the other comments, this really is a special place and we are so pleased we found it, we are hoping to return next year.
To be able to take our Border Collie away with us for the week and to be able to stay in such a luxurious holiday home with a pet, is a real treat.
Normally pet friendly holiday lets are bronze standard and to be honest we would not stay in them so this is a real find.
Don't hesitate, book while its available you will not be disappointed.
Thank you

We had a fabulous time staying at The Hayloft near Bude. The building has been beautifully built and very nicely finished with stunning bathrooms, oak beams and solid wood floors.

The garden is also very well designed, as you can go out through the top floor or bottom floor as it wraps around the building, which was perfect for our toddler and dogs.

We went with our young son, our parents, plus their dogs. There was lots of room for all of us. We all agreed how great it was, which is rare!

The view is stunning - we took many sunset photos from the balcony terrace.

It is well located for all the local areas, as well as being really quiet to relax away from the crowds.

Most importantly the owners were lovely. They were so friendly to us, helping with whatever we needed. Our son enjoyed playing with their children too.

There was a big selection of crockery, pots and pans, which all seemed brand new and very high quality.

We absolutely loved our time there and were sad to leave at the end. We will certainly be back again!

I stayed at the HayLoft with my husband, 2 year old daughter, parents, brother and sister in law for one week in August. The house is outstanding ( the pictures do not do it justice). It has been renovated to a very high standard with no expense spared. There is plenty of room for 6 adults and the house is very child friendly with toys, prams, stair gates and more provided. I'm very picky about where I stay and I can honestly say it's the nicest holiday cottage I've stayed in. This is praise indeed because we currently live in Australia and have stayed in a lot of holiday places both there and in the Uk. The surroundings are also beautiful so you can't help but relax as soon as you arrive. Caroline and her family really do everything they can to make your stay enjoyable. I'd definitely recommend this house to friends and family.

Our best holiday stay so far! Grandad, Nan, mum dad and two children had a really great time. The accommodation is superb and resourced extremely well. Our five year old enjoyed having two playmates thrown in! The surroundings are superb, and there are lots of good places to visit. The Hayloft is a super place to come back to in the evening. The directions to the property could be better, giving the distance from Week St Mary, and the name of the property on the wall.

Caroline and James have created such an amazing family holiday home and really deserve outstanding reviews packed full of praise. Yet it it with a heavy heart that I write this as we're already planning to return every year for the foreseeable future and the selfish streak in me is panicking that everybody will discover how great it is and we won't get in!

My husband and I holidayed with our 3 children, ages 16, 11 & 3 and without doubt has been the best holiday any of us has ever had. Our youngest loved playing with Reuben & Jago and their lovely toys - although now insists a ride on tractor is the only present he wants for his birthday - if only we had the space that there is at The Hayloft. It was so amazing that my 16 year old, who incidentally hasn't been enthusiastic about anything since 2007, actually calculated how much equity we had in our house to see how many weeks we could stay there if we sold it!

The views were to die for, the setting was so peaceful and serene and sitting eating breakfast on the terrace watching the birds and the animals was the perfect start to every day. The accommodation was of an exceptionally high standard, equipped for anything and everything you could possible need, there is NOTHING about this beautiful property that could be improved. Three massive bathrooms, 2 of which were wet rooms were ideal for the children and the quality of the fixtures & fittings including the soft furnishings was fabulous.

The photos are lovely but even with words it's impossible to get a true idea of how spacious and attractive the Hayloft and the gardens really are, it's like living in a perfect little bubble protected from the realities of real life. It's the sort of home you aspire to live in and look at in the property pages when you have a Delboy & Rodney moment, thinking 'this time next year......'

Despite being an English teacher I really can't find the adjectives I need to give you a true picture of how lovely the property, setting and family are. Definitely a holiday we'll never forget for all the right reasons!
