  Hi spoke to owners before as asked and were told a welcome hamper would be in the cottage as ‘there is nothing worse than a long drive and then not being able to have a cuppa’.

  We had a 6 hour drive purposely not stopping as provisions would be there but there was nothing there.I text owner and rang he said he would ring later but didn’t bother! We then had to go out again to find a shop as it was hot Tesco fridges we’re all down so then had to try to find somewhere else! We arrived back and we’re greeted by dogs barking in our face before the owner came up to us. She asked if we wanted showing around but I said no as we had already been here an hour but had to go to the shops as nothing was left for us. She said oh is it not in there I said no and I’ve contacted your husband but no real reply. She then said oh we had a very busy day and forgot you were coming!! No apology she just went and found us a packet of buns! I would of expected a ‘ I’m so sorry’ and the next day for our hamper to be given to us with a sorry. Nothing we did not see or speak to the owners once! As we were leaving the owner came out of his cottage and said ‘oh we haven’t been introduced ‘ I was gobsmacked at the lack of welcome or apology and have never had that type of experience ever. It spoilt the beginning of our holiday as in the book people commented on how lovely a welcome they got along with the provisions which were wonderful. Well we got neither nor an apology of any kind. Shocking way to greet people or not greet them. This was our first holiday since covid. What a shame.I will do my own review on Tripadvisor anyway.

  As soon as we arrived, Mugwell Barn felt like a home from home with everything we could possibly need for our holiday and with lots of storage to put all our things away.

  The welcome pack was very much appreciated and very generous. There are lots of leaflets with places to visit. We were very glad of the fan at night, as we had the most amazing weather during our stay and the barn got quite warm while we were out and about exploring. Lyn and David are the perfect hosts … helpful, friendly, but allowing you your privacy. Mugwell is a great base to explore the area, both Cornwall and Devon. We visited Tavistock, Edgcumbe, Bodmin Moor, Dartmoor as well as the coast (Polperro, Fowey, Bude) and did a few forest walks too. Some of the roads are very narrow, which added to the fun of exploring. We walked to the local pub a couple of times, the food is good, hearty food. The only thing we’d change would be a secure boundary to allow our dogs to roam about safely while we were in the barn, but there is a field close by for the dogs to be let off lead, so it wasn’t really an issue for us and we kept the dogs on long lines when we had the doors open so that they couldn’t roam too far (and so that we could relax without wondering what mischief they were up to!). We would stay at Mugwell Barn again and would definitely recommend it to anyone. Thank you for making us so welcome.

  Myself, husband and dog had a such a great week at Fistral Drift.

  Loved the communication from Jane & Michelle via email & what's app with all the info we needed to access the property and about the surrounding area etc. We parked in the Council car park 5 minutes walk from the property and Jane paid for our weekly Rover permit which was fantastic, permit can be used across other certain car parks but we didn't use our car the whole stay. Garden was lovely, our dog spent most of his time lazing out there & we enjoyed the views across to Fistral Beach from the bench seat! Location was great for us, 10 minute walk to Fistral Beach & coastal path or 10 minutes in the other direction to shops, pubs etc. They have thought of everything in the property, firstly a fabulous welcome pack on arrival which included tea bags, coffee pods, cider, biscuits, chocolate & even dog treats! Also milk in the fridge for us, hand washes, kitchen really well equipped (stayed in many properties where its pretty basic) and the bathroom is lovely with an amazing shower! Honestly they have literally thought of everything at Fistral Drift & I could go on & on so finally will just say I would recommend it to anyone.

  Lovely get away!

  Prefect as described. Hut itself was clean and tidy, lovely size, had a mini book shelf, and games/pet supplies under the bed, which was a nice touch. Had a good amount of wood for the fire and hot tub. A folder that explained how to use the hot tub etc and a cleaning tick list so you could see they had clean it before our stay. We were facing the farm land which had, chickens, goats, sheep and a pound with ducks. We were based around many farms as you could hear the farm animals around us. We were fenced in so our dog could roam freely without getting out. There was another hut behind us, people in that hut were friendly and quiet, you couldn’t see them unless we walked along the path to our car. Overall it was a great, have recommend it to many friends and family and would definitely come back again. ☺️

  This is our third lucky time booking with Skyes.

  ..communication and booking an easy process We wanted a dog friendly accommodation ..that was our next consideration We wanted to stay on the Devon/Cornwall border..to see friends in both counties We like unusual looking properties. .with a history which was there with Mugwell Barn..a small barn conversion...for 2 A well equpped propery providing for all eventualities. Furnishings and fittings of high standard and quality Peaceful, tranquil surroundings...but easy access to coastline and cities if preferred..so we had a very varied time at Mugwell Barn for our week...even walked across country to the local pub Good communication with the owners Wine scones milk butter orange juice on arrival a bonus The general environment a real treat
