Gorgeous cottage with lots of character, low ceilings in areas but you soon learnt to dodge. All part of the character. Stair banister rail stunning character made from drift wood. All rooms on suite so no fighting over bathrooms and a jacuzzi bath downstairs. The owners were very welcoming and full book with instructions on arrival. As well as lots of ideas of places to visit. Fresh milk in the fridge on arrival and the added dry herbs etc in the kitchen added to the homely feel for the week. We would happily book this cottage again as in the middle no where away from noise, surrounded by meadows with footpaths and woodland. 15min drive away there is a beautiful lake to do water sports on, we took our paddle boards. Closest beaches are 30min drive away at Bude. This is a hidden gem.

The property is absolute gem located in a tranquil setting away from the hustle of the busy city life, exactly what we were looking for. We were not let down in any aspect and found everything as seen in the pictures and described in the advertisement. It would have been a great stay but what made it truly exceptional was the warm hospitality of Jane, Duncan and their family (hosts at the property). We will definitely plan another trip soon.

Great place to stay

We had a fantastic stay at Hay Meadow Farm. It is an amazing old farm in a remote area. The room was very comfortable and clean and had been furnished to a high spec. The breakfasts were amazing - we certainly didn't/ couldn't eat at lunchtime. There was not just quantity but quality as well. Highly recommended all round

En opplevelse.

Sjarmerende hus i vakre omgivelser, om enn litt avsides. Huset minnet om noe fra "Hobbiten" med stråtak, krokete trapper og lavt under dørkarmer og tak. Gode og store senger. Bittelite bad men rent og fint. Litt eksentrisk par som driver stedet og vi måtte vente en stund før noen hadde tid til å ta i mot oss og vise oss rommet. God frokost, servert etter hvert som gjestene dukket opp og etter gjestenes ønske. Tok litt tid, men veldig sjarmerende. Kunne gjerne sovet der igjen.

Very relaxing

We both enjoyed our stay. Duncan is very welcoming and a brilliant chef. The breakfast is perfect and will fill you up for the day! Dark sky area so great for stargazing. Log burner stove in the bedroom keeps you cosy and warm all night. And VERY a quiet area :) Tall people be careful. This is a traditional thatched cottage and being over 6ft I banged my head a few times :p Will definitely return!

Lovely thatched old farmhouse in a stunning rural location. We stayed in the Clover room with log burner and jacuzzi bath. Beautiful rooms in keeping with the building, lovely furniture and fittings, very clean and extremely comfortable. Incredible breakfast, so tasty, obviously quality produce, and beautifully presented on hot plates showing the all round attention to detail. Additional items, eg. cereal, jam, were not out, but everthing available on request. Overall it was a superb, relaxing weekend. Some may find it a little too laid back, but we found it in keeping with the whole experience.

Comfortable B&B

From the big cozy organic bed to the fantastic organic breakfast everything about the Hay Meadow was wonderful. A little of the beaten path but not so far that you couldn’t get any where in a reasonable time. The view up the valley was stunning and the peace and quite just what we wanted.

sehr schönes Bauernhaus aus dem 12. Jahrhundert

Es ist zwar etwas abgelegen und der Empfang ist nicht so gut, aber das Ambiente dieser Unterkunft macht alles wett. Die Gastgeber sind sehr nett und haben die eine oder andere Geschichte erzählt über England - klasse! English Breakfast das beste, welches wir in England genossen haben.

Very welcoming and helpful hosts. Lots of choice for breakfast and cooked to your liking. Good value for money and they were more than happy for us to check in later than normal. A lovely location even though we had to brave the narrow and winding roads to get there!

Beautiful place in a great location for exploring the area. Friendly people. Delicious full English breakfast. Be aware the old home has low ceilings. Only other negative is the small shower. I am a big and tall man so this place wasn't right for me but I would recommend it for anyone not quite as tall.
