Lovely, well maintained collection of holiday accommodation. Spacious and beautifully clean. Very dog friendly. Not totally enclosed garden areas but still very safe. Swimming pool is wonderful.

Wonderful stay at Sheldon Cottage

Beautiful property in a gorgeous location. Anne-Louise is a great host, the barn was stocked with everything we could possibly have needed and the beds were so comfortable. There was lots of space for us to relax in. The pool was fabulous, it was lovely to have it to ourselves for a bit each day. We loved exploring the lake and the trampoline was a bonus! It felt very peaceful, despite every other property being occupied, and in a brilliant location for beaches / shops / activities.

What a gem

We had a fantastic 6 days at Sheldon Barn, the owners were very welcoming and hospitable. Lots of lovely touches which always seem to let down many rental properties like: Well equipped kitchen Very sharp knives Welcome pack Air conditioning in the bedrooms Our overall impression was that the owners have an exceptional eye for detail and this drives the difference at High Park Barns, we will definitely be back.

Very nice

Very nice location and amenities. Surrounding area and beaches also excellent, our favourite being Westward Ho! The dairy next door for milkshakes was always our first point before heading off for a walk along the beach. The only slight thing I would have to say was some areas of the accommodation needed a little more of a thorough clean, especially when we we collecting toddler toys from under bed TV cabinets. Outstanding though in all other respects.

Christmas 2022 - Sheldon Barn

This was a perfect stay for our Christmas 2022. The instructions leading up to check-in were spot on. The owners were friendly and very helpful. It is clear that as it is a family run business there is a real personal touch to their service which makes all the difference. The site itself was beautiful, well kept to a very high standard and very quiet. It is also a perfect base and we visited Westward Ho and Clovelly during our stay. Atlantic Village Outlet shopping centre is also only a 2 minute drive away, which our Daughters loved. The highlight has to be the pool and hot tub facilities which can be used 24 hours on a timetabled system so you can always have the pool to yourself with your family. Would highly recommend this for a stay.

Autumn at Sheldon Barn

A very comfortable cottage with a great pool. There are lots of lovely places to visit nearby and amazing coastal paths to explore. We had a most relaxing stay, helped by lots of sunshine and beautiful Autumn colours.

First class accommodation

The pool and jacuzzi have designated times for every barn as well as free slots for first come first served. Biomass heating ensures good heat at all times. Impressive list of barn facilities. Retail Park nearby includes Asda and various well known takeaways.

Excellent Stay

This is our second stay here and will be back. Cannot fault this place at all. Very clear instructions on how to get here and check in. Very thoughtful and helpful hosts. Welcome cream tea on arrival. Bottle of milk waiting for you from local farm. Barn spotlessly clean and sofa and beds most comfortable, has dishwasher, washing machine, ironing board and iron. Swimming pool and jacuzzi a real asset and very well looked after. I cannot recommend High Park Barns enough. Terrific hosts.

Exceeded expectations

What can I say? We stayed in the Sheldon Barn and everything exceeded our expectations. From the very warm welcome received, the comfort of the barn, all the personal touches that were waiting for us on our arrival were much more than we could have expected. If you want to recharge your batteries I would recommend a stay here. We will definitely book again. Thank you Ann-Marie

Fabulous Property and Overall Experience

Our stay was wonderful, so much so that we stayed an extra night! Everything was catered for, cream tea was fabulous, cleanliness of the property and facilities was excellent, communication with the owners was easy and very helpful. The pool and hot tub were an added bonus and the individual timings for the use of them made it feel safer. All in all, a high quality stay. We will be back.

Super comfortable friendly relaxing stay

We so enjoyed our time away at Sheldon Barn. Anne-Louise and Paul are fantastic, experienced hosts who have put a lot of thinking into how to set up the barn, pool and grounds to make for a really easy stay. We loved it and so did our dog!

Autumn break at Sheldon Barn

Our stay here was absolutely excellent. The cottage was exceptionally clean and well equipped, underfloor heating which was on all the time kept us nice and snug. The pool with the coloured lighting and hot tub were like having our own private spa. We travelled around to some of the most beautiful scenery, not driving more than 20 miles. We ate in fantastic restaurants. Will definately be back.
