    “I'm prefacing this review with the note that I'm an owner of 2 rural accommodations in Devon.”

    Therefore this might seem more honest than other reviews. A simply beautiful looking place, with some truly magical design elements and building materials used with compassion. The added wildlife certainly helps create a lovely country vibe too. The barn's large welcoming open living space downstairs suited our party of 3 adults- with decent sofas, lots of lovely worktop space and separate dining table. This is the best part of the barn. The kitchen is ok but slightly worn (hob and oven) and a sadly a 2 slice toaster is not enough for a 2 bed accom. Utensils required: Tongs and pizza cutter. Aluminium foil would help save baking trays from needing a soak/extra work. (recommend flat baking trays for pizzas too) a small bottle of cooking oil to go with the salt and paper. We also put in ketchup and hp sauce but i understand that's a step too far for some. Hob cleaner would be great too as there is nothing to properly clean and obvs cant use scourer. 1-2 pints of fresh milk instead of mini pots of uht would be necessary if you are also offering cereal in the welcome tray (which was a very nice touch btw). It gives the impression the management of the place is less hands on - corporate. I realise Sykes is overseeing the management but little gestures like a fresh pint of milk, ketchup etc indicate there is more of human touch about and a more intimate understanding of how the guest will be using the space. Might want to consider modern addition of an airfryer. (All in one microwave/air fryers are amazing) Downstairs toilet/shower. This needs an update. Shower very old and water pressure terrible (not connected to the water pump the taps have- could you?). Also the toilet does not flush effectively/consistently and there is a strange heavy access cover by the toilet that kept falling out - making us jump at the noise. The extractor fan needs immediate attention- for excessive noise and dust. I wonder if you could knock through the dividing hallway and expand the shower room as it is too small otherwise. Upstairs bathroom - bath sides too high for elderly guest so meant it couldn't be used- meaning the overall washing provision in the Barn was really depressing and not workable. Heating. I get that old buildings are the worst for heat retention but even with the night storage system you must be spending an absolute fortune in electricity. We were lucky to have warm weather for end of Oct/Nov and so the place was far too warm or us, with no way of turning down/off the automatic programming (well certainly the one downstairs). Stairs are absolutely fine for elderly guest- which was the main thing we were worried about. Bedrooms are fine- the twin bedroom chest top needs repainting but they are designed beautifully to retain the character of the barn. Bedding was nicely laundered and a great thickness (if a bit too much with in conjunction with the heating). The recycling. Hallelujah!- what a wonderful system you have! I'm sure if we had brought kids they would have been inspired by the whole chicken/dove feeding/wood store/recycling centre you have. This could be promoted further as a homage to eco living. This really inspires you to recycle efficiently. Our doggie was transfixed with all the wildlife- she has no idea what a chicken is normally (even though we live in the countryside) so literally wouldn't have known what was going on but was happy to view from inside the barn. (The barn is extremely practical for hosting a dog which is a relief as i always have extra work to do with hairs etc but the flooring was perfect and the treats/bags were a v nice touch) Parking. You must have really forgiving neighbours as arriving in the dark we were not sure where we were going or where to park. Suggest barn names on the front gate in addition to the farm name and signs where to park? (We had 2 cars so I'm sure that didn't help!) So there were some memorable highlights but sadly the ablution element as it currently exists, would stop us from returning.
