Guests say

The Cob Barn is consistently praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and idyllic location. Guests appreciate the well-equipped facilities, underfloor heating, and the added convenience of two bathrooms. The surrounding countryside, complete with sheep and sea views, adds to the charm. A welcome touch of tea, coffee, and biscuits is noted, though such gifts are not guaranteed.

Guests unanimously report that the cottage is very clean, indicating high standards of cleanliness.

The location is described as perfect, beautiful, and ideal, close to the sea and local amenities, though accessibility may be a concern for those with mobility issues.

The cottage is frequently described as cosy, comfortable, and warm. The only minor complaint is about the softness of the mattresses, which may affect sleep quality for some.

Facilities are well-received, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and good maintenance. There was a minor issue with check-in, but it was resolved smoothly.

While guests appreciated the welcome items, there is not enough information to score thoughtfulness as gifts are not consistently mentioned across reviews.

    Great stay! the checkin pre-prpces didn't really work, which induced a bit of anxiety, but in the end getting in was easy. The property was lovely. exactly as described, very quiet, beautiful views, good location for us. The owner we met was super-friendly.
