We jointly own and run Mill Barn(s) - Gemma  manages all the bookings and enquires along with assisting the Housekeeping Team and Guy the maintenance man! We both love where we live and have two rescue dogs from Bulgaria; three alpaca, two cats and many chickens and fish!! We live on site and will leave you in peace but are only a text or call away should you need us for anything. 

Three Bedroom Barn. The three bedrooms can be set up to suit you. The master room with en-suite can either be super-king or twin. The other two rooms can be either king or twin and share the main bathroom (separate rainfall shower and bath). A cot and high chair can be supplied on request. We can also provide dog beds/crates; blankets; towels and bowls. We supply one bath towel and one hand towel per person. Beach towels can be provided for an extra charge.

We stayed a couple of weeks ago and had the perfect break. Every single thing was catered for, Gemma and Guy have created a stunning holiday home, that they’ve so generously and kindly allowed guests to enjoy. Everything has been finished to the highest standard, and the barn is absolutely spotlessly clean! The beds were so comfy, bedding was lovely quality, towels clean and smelt so fresh (and changed halfway through the week!) The welcome basket they leave had so many wonderful treats and were very “welcome “., even treats in a little bag for our dog!! Nothing has been missed. Gemma and Guy have literally thought of everything!! Beach Towels provided, and towels & bowls for pets too.

Gemma gave us a long list of places to eat (not necessarily recommended) and we booked a restaurant for every night, before we stayed. Personally would recommend The Deck and Elements. Gorgeous food!! And the Widemouth Manor for Sunday carvery! We didn’t have the best weather but we still had a wonderful break in Gemma’s & Guys stunning barn. Guy showed us the other 2 properties that they’re currently renovating to let out and they promise to be on exactly the same incredibly high spec as the barn is, they’ve done an amazing job and deserve to be fully booked all year round!! The only problem is going to be managing to get a week!! As they’re so busy!! 

We could not fault Sea View Barn and would stay again in a heartbeat 💗 a week wasn’t long enough!

THE STABLES

Really was a perfect stay. Peaceful location but within easy reach of lovely beaches and places to visit. Welcome Pack was the best ever and every single need catered for in the cottage including treats for the dog. Lovely extras like the outdoor shower and bedroom skylights make it feel extra special.

Swallows Nest superbly equipped with everything we needed inside and in the small, private and safely gated outdoor area. Comfortable beds and sofas with high standard kitchen appliances. Perfect setup from back door for us to cross the courtyard and join our family staying in Sea View and share their garden. Gemma and Guy are amazing hosts.

A beautiful accommodation in a stunning location. The owners couldn't do enough for us and the attention to detail in the property was a joy. Really well equipped with lovely extra's like beach towels and the dogs we're completely spoilt with cosy beds, towels, bowls and biscuits. Easy walking distance to the beach and the Widemouth Manor where we often stopped for a drink and the food was also really good. We were 2 families so also rented Swallows Nest but used the larger garden at Sea View to get together and BBQ whilst the children played which worked perfectly. We would highly recommended and look forward to booking again.

My wife and I spent a wonderful week in Swallows Nest I only booked the day before travel as we were worried about COVID restrictions, but were not disappointed in our choice The barn, (as I alluded to in the title) was just prefect for our weeks escape from the South hams of Devon. Perfect location, far enough from Bude for a good days walk there and back, but also close enough to Widemouth Bay for a gentle early morning stroll or to watch the sunset. We could not fault the property, decor was absolutely to our taste, with top quality fittings. Under floor heating was wonderful Aafter a day out in the weather, but the blazing multi-fuel burner was a godsend to enhance the already wonderful ambience of the property. Make sure you set the fire before you go out for the day, which allows you to simply put a flame to it on arrival back. The appliances in the kitchen/ lounge area were top, of the range a and a lovely touch was the Bose Bluetooth speaker, which is perfect for interacing a device when the TV is off and the fire is burning - perfect for a winter evening A lovely touch, was the basket on arrival containing local produce and wine. I could go on forever singing the property’s praises, but don’t want to bore you. Needless to say - simply perfect! We will definitely return again. Thanks for a wonderfully clean and presented property, worthy of 5*........Made our week 

Absolutely lovely converted barn. We stayed in sea view and I honestly cannot fault it. The views are amazing, across meadows and down to the sea. All mod cons and finished to a high standard. Beautifully decorated. A hamper was there for our arrival and dog treats for our cockapoo. Really lovely touches. Also an email was sent in advance asking us which flowers we would like which was very thoughtful and another lovely add on. The best thing was the very large bath which I enjoyed after a long day walking. Very peaceful and quiet area but not far from wide mouth bay and the centre of bude is a short drive away. Great hosts and holiday ❤️

Amazing host, amazing property.

I cannot rate this property, or Gemma as a host, highly enough. 

Sea View barn was just perfect for our 7 night stay. Beautifully finished with every possible amenity that we could need or want. One of the best self catering properties that we have ever stayed in. 

Gemma is the most attentive host, who could not do enough for us. She really did care about all of our group, including a person with mobility problems and our 6 month old boxer dog. We couldn’t have asked for more. She really went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay, even delivering tomato ketchup to our door for our bbq, on request. 

We all thoroughly enjoyed our week in this beautiful part of the country.

Beautiful, peaceful and private property finished to a very high standard with all mod cons. Perfect for a family (including with young children). Widemouth bay beaches are a short 15 minute walk and great base to explore the many other beaches and coves of north Cornwall (Northcott Mouth beach and Crackington Haven were real highlights). Also very convenient for Bude itself. The barn has a lovely garden with views over farmland to the coast. The owner was very friendly and welcoming and was very attentive during our stay. We will definitely be back!

As a family of 4, 2 children under 10, we had an excellent time. The cottage is immaculately clean and superbly well equipped with everything you could need. The location was excellent and a close distance to the beaches. Gemma, our host is amazingly and very helpful. We couldn't for anything more.

High quality well equipped accommodation that is worth the price paid. Excellent communication from the owner who was very helpful and friendly. Also great for our two dogs who were catered for with just as much care as the rest of the family.
