We didn't like the location of the flat, the phone reception was awful and especially as the door to the flat wouldn't lock it was really unsettling.

The owner didn't want to put the heating on as he said it was expensive and the heating was controlled by their house and not from within the accommodation we rented so we had no control over the heating in February which was the month we booked it for which was absolutely outrageous, he said that he would watch for when we got back from our trips to put the heating on so we would have always entered a freezing cold flat. The bathroom and shower room were absolutely tiny with no room for even a towel. We could hear the owners in the house opposite so there was very little privacy. The front door wouldn't lock so our belongings weren't secure and anyone could enter the flat at any time, night or day which was deeply unsettling and they should have known that the door wouldn't lock before renting it out. The skylight window in the bedroom could be directly looked through from the owners house which we both found really unnerving as anyone in the house could look directly onto the bed, definitely an inappropriate place to have a window looking into a bedroom where guests would be sleeping The flat had the smallest tv which should really be upgraded, the bed had a thin mattress which luckily we didn't get to sleep on as we left the accommodation within 15 mins of entering the property and found another property to rent just to get out of there as there was no way we were going to ruin our stay in Barnstaple by staying in this property. The flat was pretty much akin to it being just another room in the owners house, they hadn't given much thought to whether the property was actually suitable to be rented out as a stand alone flat, it felt like there was no privacy. We got the impression that the owners of the property built this flat for one of their grown up children and then when they left home they decided to rent it out as holiday accommodation without knowing anything about the holiday industry and were just winging the operation.

On a very quiet lane, with beautiful walks and countryside on the doorstep, yet only a 15/20 minute walk from Rock Park and Barnstaple centre. There is a lovely patio, overlooking gorgeous gardens and countryside to relax with your morning coffee. The host, Theo, is so lovely, kind and helpful if you need him, but knows to give space otherwise...I loved that. I so enjoyed my break at this sweet flat. Tea, coffee and milk....ooh and some lovely choc treats...were supplied and I was offered fresh towels mid week of my stay. Very comfortable and I would stay again.

I would have loved a hairdryer! Not the end of the world, but I didn't pack one and so had some bad hair days.

We liked the location for walking nearby. We also liked the peace and quiet. The owners were very nice.

My husband is quite tall so we found the shower and toilet area quite cramped.

Good facilities and super comfy bed

Bed was a bit springy for our liking we used to a solid bed so didn’t sleep too great but everyone if different . We only there for a night so not too much of a problem for us.
