“The location of the cottage was excellent and the facilities were fine and very clean.”

one thing I would have liked to have seen was a more comfortable bed and a luxury mattress. The mattress was a little thin and not as comfortable as I would expect in a Sykes cottage.

- Mr Marshall, September 2021
Mr Knight September 2021

“Everything was as we'd expected and prior information about the property was good.”

The accommodation was clean and well equipped, although a couple more bin bags would be useful. Don't expect too much, but overall, the barn is an ideal base and caters for basic needs.

“We really enjoyed our time at Easton Barn.”

Located in a very beautiful setting. A vast improvement from our last booking with Sykes. Very clean and everything there you needed for a comfortable stay. We met the owner when we arrived who was very pleasant and helpful giving us good information about lovely local walks and places to visit. If you walked to the top of the garden which was quite large you could see all the beautiful countryside around you. Our Dog loved running round the lovely enclosed garden, which also had a summer house. You could also make use of the Barbecue. Well situated for trips around the South Devon Countryside and coastal regions. Bigbury on Sea just down the road. Had a lovely day in Dartmoor National Park and finished off the day with Fish and chips in Brixham on Friday before going home via Kingsbridge (which is a lovely town with walks by the river) on Saturday. Would highly recommend 1 Easton Barn.

“Just a few concerns.”

.......... 1.There were NO mattress or pillow protectors on the bed and pillows, just a sheet straight on to the mattress and pillow cases straight on to the pillows. 2. There was NO "coffee table" to put coffee/ wine on to in the evening. We found a very old TV stand on wheels, by the side of the sofa, that sort of served a purpose. 3. They need to invest in better quality LOO PAPER. What was there was worse than in public toilets. 4. In the bedroom the pull down blind, over dormer window, right above the bed, DIDN'T work, so we woke each day once it was light about 4.30/5 AM. They need to get it fixed with a proper blackout blind or thick curtain on 2 poles.

- Mr Wood, June 2021

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback, we really appreciate it as we can then do our best to rectify the situation. We have passed all your comments onto the owner who has now made sure there are mattress and pillow protectors throughout. She has also fixed the blind. We do hope you had an enjoyable holiday in spite of these issues and look forward to welcoming you back to the area soon. Property Owner

“A nice little barn conversion with everything you need for a self catering holiday.”

Ten minutes from the beautiful beach of Bigbury on sea and Burgh island.

Mr Parikos October 2019

“We had a great holiday in a great location”

- Mr Parikos, October 2019
Mr Banks October 2019

“The only downside for us is that it was difficult not to trail mud into the property due to having no path from the drive to the entry steps - this could easily be remedied with a couple of slabs or paving stones.”

. Other than that we had a fantastic time - thank you to the owners for been flexible on dates and we will definitely be returning next year!!!!

- Mr Banks, October 2019
Mr Roeth July 2019

“We came in order to attend a wedding of friends and made it a weekly holiday.”

The choice of the cottage turned out to be a very felicitous pick. The cottage is an old barn, placed in a garden where you instantly can see the care and passion for plants and flowers of the owners. Multiple tiers of terraces, including one with a lovely view over the surrounding areas, makes it an exiting place. We were glad to meet the owners, which are very fine persons, emanating a great deal of hospitality. The barn is well furnished and equipped with everything you need and extremely clean. Beyond the place itself, this area of Devon is just amazing and provides everything from sand beaches, national parks, coastal hikes, lovely villages and great restaurant, a mix ready to spawn a very special holiday. In short, there is nothing we would object and a lot to recommend! Kind regards, From Leonce, Sally and Jón

Mr Holt June 2019

“Beautiful location”

- Mr Holt, June 2019
Mrs Keen May 2019

“The holiday was extremely easy to book.”

The holiday accommodation was lovely. 1 Easton Barn was a sweet little barn in an attractive peaceful setting. Within the barn everything was provided to ensure a relaxed comfortable holiday. Plenty of places to visit in the surrounding area. We liked Salcombe and Dartmouth but the coastline and beaches are stunning too.

Mrs Thornton May 2019

“Yes failed to tell us about the 5 high step in to the cottage”

- Mrs Thornton, May 2019
Ms Jones March 2019

“Sykes were not easy to deal with.”

I accidentally booked a day too short. called back within 24 hours and was told I needed to pay an extra £30 admin fee to change the date, even though there was not additional cost to the holiday itself. The lady on the phone was not helpful and stated that if you booked a flight you’d have to pay for changes. Actually airlines allow for error and if it’s changed far enough in advance they do not charge an admin fee. I was so disappointed that I ended the call. Called back a few weeks later and spoke to a different person and paid the admin fee. That holiday itself was lovely :)

- Ms Jones, March 2019

Many thanks for your feedback, this is helpful and assists us with improving our service. We're pleased to hear you enjoyed your holiday at 1 Easton Barn. I'm sorry you were disappointed with the booking process. The fees are displayed within the terms and conditions of booking which we try to make as clear and as transparent as possible. We hope this experience didn't spoil the holiday itself and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future. With best wishes Property Owner

Mrs Clare Bailey Jul 2018

“Suited us very well.”

We felt at home and were sad to leave. Some may expect it to be a little less dusty and cobwebby but it didn’t worry us. Next doors dogs barking was an issue on a couple of nights.

- Mrs Clare Bailey, Jul 2018

We’re sorry to read your comments regarding the presentation of 1 Easton Barn, we’ll pass your information on to the owner of the property. Hopefully, it didn’t mar your stay and you were still able to enjoy the heatwave. Property Owner
Mrs Fenella Fisher Apr 2018

“As I stated in the other part this cottage is not really up to scratch & needs some updating & a better check kept on it & more info re the steps leading up to the front door.”

Otherwise the area is stunning & Bigbury on Sea beach was heaven for our dogs.

- Mrs Fenella Fisher, Apr 2018
Mr geoff haines Sep 2017

“No problems with coast and country but they need to inspect properties that they market on a regular basis, the property is in need of improvement and needs a very good clean, no pillow protectors used and the furniture needs replacing.”

On the positive side nice location and setting.
