Nicola
August 2024

“We stayed at Apple Barn as a family of 9 with three generations.”

The house was well equipped for our 2, 3 and 6 year olds with travel cot, stair gates, high chair, smaller cutlery and plenty of space to run around outside. The house was clean and tidy and had everything we needed to self cater. The hot tub was a treat and we enjoyed using the bbq. The house and gardens were really well kept and the owners gave us a warm welcome and were very attentive. We enjoyed being in the countryside surrounded by farmland, it was so peaceful.

Christina July 2024

“I would definitely recommend Apple Barn.”

The accommodation was spacious and cost, and beautifully decorated. The kitchen is really well kitted out, and the fridge, freezer and oven are big, perfect for catering for lots of people. The views and grounds are lovely and the hot tub was beautifully warm and clean. The owners were very responsive to any little problems. Absolutely brilliant!

- Christina, July 2024

Hi Christina, thank you for your kind words it's much appreciated. We look forward to welcoming you all back to Lambscombe soon. Kind Regards, Damon & Karen Property Owner
Angela June 2024

“Wonderful location, well equipped and spotlessly clean accommodation.”

Really good to have a large fridge freezer and lots of pots, pans, crockery and glasses sufficient for a large group. Lots of hot water for showers and the hot tub was great. We were very comfortable and really enjoyed our stay, thank you.

- Angela, June 2024

Hi Angela, so glad you all enjoyed your stay in Apple and thank you for the great feedback. Look Forward to seeing you all again. Kind Regards, Damon & Karen Property Owner
Diane June 2024

“Excellent property, never used a holiday letting with so much kitchen equipment no need to improvise.”

Apple barn was suitable for our four generation family, safe, beautiful, well cared for, comfortable and clean. The surrounding area was peaceful. Staff were friendly and helpful but left space for privacy. Cannot fault this property, Excellent! Would highly recommend.

- Diane, June 2024

Hi Diane, thank you for your kind words, it was great having you all and so glad you all got to enjoy the beach. We look forward to seeing you all again soon. Kind Regards, Damon & Karen Property Owner
Lauren May 2024

“Beautiful location and cottage.”

Owners nearby and helpful for any questions. Enough space for 10 to stay without feeling on top of each other. Hot tub area was great and impeccably clean. Sykes website need to make it clear what is available at the property. E.g how many toilet rolls and dishwasher tablets they will leave, especially as remote location when everyone has been drinking.

- Lauren, May 2024

Hi Lauren, glad you all enjoyed yourselves and we look forward to seeing you all again. Regarding Loo rolls etc. Sykes properties are all self catering hence we provide a starter pack, but the advantage of us being onsite is that we are able to assist (insert own pun here ;) ) when asked. Kind Regards, Damon & Karen Property Owner
Elizabeth February 2024

“Wonderful property, stunning views, great location .”

...and an amazing Welcome Pack....a tray of fresh local eggs.... delicious cake....not to mention tea and coffee sachets. We all enjoyed the hot tub! A very relaxing place

- Elizabeth, February 2024

Hi Liz, thank you for your kind words, so glad you all enjoyed your stay and we look forward to welcoming you all back soon. Many Thanks, Damon & Karen Property Owner
Lorna December 2023

“Apple Barn is a amazing place with beautiful views.”

The property is well equipped it has everything you need, great kitchen, we had 4 adults and two children under 5, with the owners supplying two stair gates, bed guard, travel cot and highchair, very accommodating, ample space. The are 5 bedrooms, 3 of which have there own bathroom and showers and also a bathroom with bath. The hot tub is lovely too. The owners were on hand for any help too and very friendly, would definitely come back in the future thanks we had a really lovely time over New Year.

- Lorna, December 2023

Hi Lorna, fantastic that you enjoyed your stay at Lambscombe, it would be great to welcome you all back (especially when the suns out) again. Many Thanks, Damon Property Owner
Heather October 2023

“Cottage was exactly as listed and we were left with a lovely welcome package of eggs, cake, dish washer tablets, soap etc.”

Hosts were very accommodating. Location is beautiful. Would highly recommend.

- Heather, October 2023

Hi Heather, apologies for the delay in getting back to you. So glad you all enjoyed yourselves at Lambscombe and we look forward to welcoming you all back again soon. Many Thanks, Damon & Karen Property Owner
Claire October 2023

“We had a fantastic time at Apple Barn.”

Stunning views & beautiful accommodation. We had 9 ladies stay & had plenty of space. You just have to be careful all showering as we ran out of hot water on our first morning but no trouble the next day (there was more hot water later that day). The fresh eggs left for us were amazing along with the cake. We would definitely return!

- Claire, October 2023

Hi Claire, so glad you all enjoyed your stay in Apple Barn. You should have let me know regarding the hot water as the boiler comes on twice a day 6:30am until 10:30 and 4pm until 10PM. If you are late risers :) there is an immersion for extra hot water that is shown in the book. We look forward to seeing you all again soon. Many Regards, Damon & Karen Property Owner
Theresa September 2023

“Lovely house, the family enjoyed our stay, there were 10 of us with plenty of space in the house.”

Cake, milk, eggs, etc etc, there waiting for us. Very accommodating owner , nothing was a problem. Would definitely stay here again.

- Theresa, September 2023

Hi Theresa, thank you for you lovely feedback, we look forward to welcoming you all back again soon. Many Regards, Damon & Karen Property Owner
Karen September 2023

“Lovely property in scenic location.”

The owners looked after us very well and attended to any issues very promptly. Only one criticism is that 4pm is very late to have access to the property on arrival. 3pm would be more favourable.

- Karen, September 2023

Hi Karen, 4PM as discussed is to allow us time to change over all of the properties to the excellent standards of cleanliness and comfort we normally achieve. We did say you could arrive a little earlier at 3:30 to set up but your party turned up earlier and we worked around you. Thats why arrival time in nearly all larger properties is 4PM with no flexibility given. Regards, Damon Property Owner
Gabrielle August 2023

“Apple Barn was a lovely property in a beautiful setting, and the kitchen was well equipped.”

There was plenty of room for our party of 9 people and we all commented on how comfortable the beds were. The games room and the hot tub outside were greatly appreciated as the weather during our stay was so awful!

- Gabrielle, August 2023

Hi Gabrielle, so glad you all enjoyed your stay, sadly the weather was a bit on the damp side to say the least. Lambscombe and North Devon as a whole are even more stunning when the suns out. We hope you will all come back again soon to experience it. Kind Regards, Damon & Karen Property Owner
Beverley August 2023

“Our four generation family has just had the most amazing week staying in Apple Barn Cottage.”

So much thought has been put into making this cottage as comfortable as home and lovely little touches such as the welcome basket ( which included a chocoate cake!) and fresh milk in the fridge have made this our favourite Cottage ever. Oh, and the hot tub was a great hit, especially with the grandchildren!

- Beverley, August 2023

Hi Beverley, we are so pleased you all enjoyed your break in Apple Barn and it was a pleasure to host you all. We look forward to welcoming you all back soon. Kind Regards, Damon & Karen Property Owner
Kirsten July 2023

“We had a fantastic girls weekend away at Apple Barn.”

Gorgeous property with the perfect kitchen, dining and living space set up for a really sociable weekend. The hot tub was great - well-maintained, warm by the time we arrived and just tucked to the side of the house. Lovely little garden and super friendly and helpful hosts. Would definitely book again.

- Kirsten, July 2023

Hi Kirsten, thanks for the lovely feedback and so glad you all enjoyed yourselves, we will look forward to seeing you all again. Regards, Damon & Karen Property Owner
Peter June 2023

“We had a fabulous weekend break celebrating a special family birthday.”

All 3 generations loved Apple Barn and enjoyed the great facilities and wonderful location. It is so tastefully decorated and although the weather was a little unkind the full length windows meant that we could enjoy the outdoors from indoors. We did a super walk to North Molton, loved the hot tub, made full use of the brilliant games room with lots of pool and table tennis, and played cricket on the spacious field. Damon made us very welcome and was kind and thoughtful as our host. We were only sorry that our stay was so short. Thank you.

- Peter, June 2023

Hi Peter, it was a pleasure to meet you all and so glad you enjoyed your stay. Hopefully next time will be a bit longer and you can explore Exmoor and North Devon more. Many Regards, Damon & Karen Property Owner
Rosemary June 2023

“As a family get together, we had a lovely stay.”

- Rosemary, June 2023

Hi Rosemary, so glad you enjoyed your stay at Lambscombe, we hope to see you all again soon. Many Regards, Damon & Karen Property Owner
Andrew June 2023

“An absolute Gem of a place set in some of the most beautiful surroundings!”

The house and facilities were perfect. We stayed for a Stagg weekend and the owners were awesome and very understanding. Some great things to see and do locally. Not to mention the food, delicious! Highly recommended!

- Andrew, June 2023

Hi Andy, glad you all enjoyed yourselves and were all so understanding of the different groups onsite. Would welcome you all back in a heartbeat. Thanks also for leaving Apple so clean its much appreciated. Kind Regards, Damon & Karen Property Owner
Amanda April 2023

“Apple Barn was a home from home.”

We had a long drive to get to the property and we had a warm welcome from a delicious cake, farm eggs (double yolks) and Easter treats! We had three boys under 5 with us and they were all catered for with stair gates, travel cots, high chairs and bath mats. The property was warm, clean and very spacious, the garden had beautiful views, secure for the children and included the hot tub which was cleaned at least once whilst we were there. Damon and Karen were very friendly and quick to help us with anything we needed ie Damon retrieving a toy rocket on the roof. We would highly recommend Apple Barn we were very sad to leave

- Amanda, April 2023

Hi Amanda, it was fantastic to have you all and even more so to hear how much you enjoyed yourselves. Hopefully we will see you all again and when the weather is a little kinder. Just for note- every hot tub is checked daily using photometer to ensure the water is at its best throughout your stay. (my ninja skills sometimes work against me :) ) Have fantastic Summer all of you. Many Regards, Damon and Karen Property Owner
Rebecca December 2022

“The property was beautiful, all the home comforts you could ever need and want, well equipped and we had a wonderful stay and perfect Christmas.”

Loved the extra touches like decorated Xmas tree and cake, eggs, milk etc. Our kids were outside playing football and Damon noticed and brought over a goal net which was really kind and thoughtful. Really couldn't fault anything and would return in a heart beat, would highly recommend. Thank you.

- Rebecca, December 2022

Hi, so glad you all enjoyed your stay at Lambscombe, we would love to have you all back again especially when the suns out ;) Many Thanks, Damon & Karen Property Owner
Michael December 2022

“We had the most amazing time, the owners were so helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble for them.”

The location of the property is amazing and the facilities of the house were superb. We had a wonderful stay.

- Michael, December 2022

Hi Michael, so glad you all enjoyed your stay at Apple Barn, even if the snow made things a little interesting. And a huge thank you for leaving the barn in such a beautiful condition its much appreciated. We look forward to welcoming you all back soo. Have a great Christmas. Damon & Karen Property Owner
Herbert November 2022

“Just had the best 12 day stay at Apple Barn.”

This home was perfect for our needs - great kitchen with open-plan dining area and living room with a wood stove. Lots of windows overlooking the hills and fields. The owners were around if needed and were very helpful in providing local information. The town of South Molton was an easy drive for good grocery stores, butchers, bakeries, fire-wood suppliers etc. This is a great base to explore North Devon - we saw lots of beautiful rural scenery as well as rugged coastlines and charming waterfront villages. All very very special. A huge thank you to Karen and Damon ! We will so grateful for your warm hospitality. We wished we could have spent Christmas at Apple Barn. Gwen, Carlos, Herb.

- Herbert, November 2022

Hi Herb, thank you for your very kind words and so glad you enjoyed your stay at Lambscombe. We are spoilt with beautiful scenery and fantastic places to visit on our doorstep and there are still more places for you all to see. Have a great Christmas and hopefully next year will be at Lambscombe. Many Regards, Damon & Karen Property Owner
Sharon November 2022

“2nd time we have stayed at Apple Barn.”

Had a relaxing long weekend with friends and family. It's well equipped and comfortable with everything we needed. Only slight niggle would be the heating. Sat morning was a slight frost and radiators didn't come on until approx 11am. Following day it was warmer and came on early. We enjoyed the hot tub and the perfect location. We hope to be back.

- Sharon, November 2022

Hi Sharon, Hi Sharon, so glad you all enjoyed your stay and we look forward to welcoming you all back. Regards Damon & Karen (the boiler for Apple Barn had tripped out on Friday evening (first time). We live onsite at Hall House and each barn has a handbook supplied that has out of hours contact information. If we had been informed by these routes on Friday it would have been fixed straight away. As soon as we viewed the email informing us of the issue it was resolved in 15 mins. (radiators came on at 11am when boosted) Heating is set during the winter 6:30am to 11AM - 12:30-2:30 and 4:30 to 10:45 at 22 degrees. Property Owner
John October 2022

I would definitely recommend this place.

Geraldine August 2022

“This was a lovely cottage and could not fault anything - the views sitting in the hot tub and the owners were so helpful - never met people so accommodating and helpful to the point of collecting our takeaway Indian!”

! We had a lovely time and would recommend this place - it is very peaceful and we never felt on top of one another - there was six adults and 3 children

- Geraldine, August 2022

Hi Geraldine, thanks for the lovely feedback and glad you all enjoyed yourselves. Hopefully see you all soon. Regards, Damon Property Owner
Alison August 2022

“We absolutely loved our stay at Apple Barn.”

The view from the garden is wonderful and there is ample room for the kids to run around. The welcome pack was much appreciated, especially the cake and eggs. There were nine of us in the barn and there was plenty of space. Play room is a great idea, our teenagers loved pool and ping pong. The owners were so lovely and couldn’t do enough for us.

- Alison, August 2022

Hi Alison, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay in Apple Barn, we would love to see you all back soon. Kind Regards, Damon Property Owner
Gill July 2022

“Everything was really lovely, Damon went out of his way to make us comfortable.”

He provided us with a fantastic fan in the two hot, hot days of our stay. The only reason I didn’t give five stars for facilities, was that the Wi-Fi didn’t extend upstairs and my husband couldn’t play his computer game in bed. However, it is a good thing to get away from the internet, so, mixed opinion on this.

- Gill, July 2022

Hi Gill, so glad you all enjoyed your stay, sorry about the wifi old buildings and Wifi don't mix very well. However you can pick up one of the other Wifi links in the upstairs rooms in Apple. We have also just added new circuits to Hawthorn and Oak cottages which will provide even more coverage. Hopefully see you all again soon. Kind Regards, Damon Property Owner
Abbie July 2022

“A beautiful property with everything you need for a wonderful stay.”

We had a brilliant family holiday here … perfect location, weather, and hosts. Would 100% recommend and would love to return. Damon was a brilliant host and nothing was too much trouble. We’ve been home a week and still miss one of the best holidays we have ever had.

- Abbie, July 2022
Alison June 2022

“Lovely accommodation , hosts very friendly.”

Had everything we needed and we all had a lovely stay. Beautiful location. Would definitely recommend

- Alison, June 2022

Hi Alison, thank you for your lovely feedback, we will look forward to welcoming you all back. Many Regards, Damon and Karen Property Owner
Andrew May 2022

“Overall, our stay was really pleasant.”

The cottage itself is beautiful, it had a perfect blend of modern and old style, the outdoor seating was great, the hot tub area was great, and the surrounding countryside was perfect. There was plenty of room in the car park. All the beds and sofas were comfortable, and the kitchen was a good size, and the fridge/freezer was a perfect size. The games room was great, and we were grateful the owner gave us binoculars to see some deers. We also enjoyed the complimentary eggs, milk and cake (which were delicious). However, there are a few minor suggestions we would make that would take this cottage to a 5 star level: 1) The owners did not nearly give enough toilet roll, kitchen roll, bin bags or dishwasher tablets. 4 toilet rolls between 8 people for 6 days is very stingy. We would prefer more of these essentials than the cake and eggs. We had to buy more of each of those things which we feel we shouldn't really need to do. Also, why weren't the loo rolls already in the toilets rather than in the basket in the kitchen? And why weren't the towels already on the beds? 2) there was no Compost bin or recycling boxes at the cottage. Initially, this forced us to use more black bins before we decided to go get recycling boxes from the car park. 3) the hot tub always had too much Chlorine which gave a few of us bad skin reactions. I have a hot tub at home myself and I can tell you there was way too much Chlorine in there. 4) the kitchen was not very well stocked. There were no decent knives, there weren't enough breakfast bowls for everyone, and there were no smaller ovenproof dishes. 5) the dishwasher wasn't very good - our dishes would often come out dirty. Also, you asked us to ensure we put any dishes through one last clean in the dishwasher, but you didn't give us enough dishwasher tablets so we couldn't. 6) the 2 pieces of wood you gave us didn't fit into the fireplace. 7) the shower in the bottom bedroom would often overflow, and it ran of hot water pretty quickly. The shared bathroom upstairs was hard for some people to lock as the door is quite stiff. 8) if you can, please get better Internet as it was very weak, and when more than 3 people connected to it, it wouldn't work. The Internet didn't reach some rooms at all. We hope you take these minor suggestions on board as we would love to come back again. Thanks for a great stay.

- Andrew, May 2022

Hi Andrew, we are glad you liked the property in general and the surroundings, we took over Lambscombe in December and are constantly updating our offering to guests. Can I please point out that Lambscombe as are all other Sykes properties are self catering and not hotels. The welcome pack is exactly that it provides our self catering guests with some essentials to last them until their own shopping etc. arrives. Since covid most guests prefer toilet rolls etc. in the welcome pack and old rolls removed to avoid any contamination etc. the same goes for towels which demonstrate they are freshly laundered before each arrival. We also provide black sacks and clear sacks for towels and bedding so that guests can strip their beds before leaving. (this is again standard for self catering and protects our team from any potential transfer from bed linen, all properties are fogged before cleaners enter). Regarding waste etc. there is a recycling area where guests separate their waste into glass, plastics, metal and cardboard this is stated within the welcome booklet. I have separated your waste for collection we encourage our guests to recycle as much as possible. As this is a rural area bins are kept away from properties to avoid unwelcome pests. We use Bromine and not Chlorine in our tubs as it is far less likely to cause irritation. The chemical levels are checked daily and fed via a dosing system, sometimes if the tub is not in regular use by guests levels can build up but were within recommended testing levels. I will look into the knives and sharpen as required although there is a knife sharpener provided in the utensils draw, we will also perform another check on bowls etc. as quantities were in line with Sykes guidelines. Apologies on the wood as we stop providing log baskets at the end of April although guests are of course welcome to use the woodburners at any time. I will speak to the changeover team as to why any wood was left. I will also take a look at the bathroom door and the lower shower, if you had reported the issue I would have dealt with it straight away. We have individual broadband connections for each cottage via BT but unfortunately only receive around 5MB on each due to the distance from the exchange. We have enquired about alternative connections but no line of sight means wireless is out and fibre to the premises is still being rolled out in Devon. Hopefully these minor points didn't spoil your experience of the tranquility and stunning surroundings at Lambscombe Farm Cottages.We look forward to welcoming you all back soon. Yours Sincerely, Damon Williams Property Owner
Michael May 2022

“We was there for a long weekend and everything was perfect , everything we wanted the owners were very helpful and friendly , we will 100% be booking again.”

Ty February 2022

“Had a great week staying in Apple Barn.”

Damon was an absolute star, always happy to help even through the difficult weather conditions ensuring we had everything we needed. Even let our son use his telescope on the rare clear night we had. The fresh eggs and cake were a lovely touch and a nice surprise. The Barn itself was very well equipped and a lovely place to stay to watch the wild birds and Squirrels. Beds and sofas we very comfortable for a rental property. Will definitely consider staying again and would recommend.

- Ty, February 2022

Hi Ty, many thanks for your positive feedback it definitely was a challenging week weather wise. Glad your son enjoyed the telescope he can give us some lessons next time. As you know we are in the process of renovating the complete site and adding some more features to make a stay at Lambscombe even more enjoyable. Hopefully see you all again soon. Regards, Damon & Karen Property Owner
Kerri January 2022

“We recently had a great weekend at Apple Barn, it was the perfect break in a place that felt so homely and comforting to 7 overworked adults in desperate need for some TLC.”

Our only feedback would be that the single beds in the far end room were incredibly noisy and the boys in there kept waking themselves and each other up through the night, the signage out front is impossible to read on a dark winters afternoon. And the hot tub could do with a little extra lighting. Very minor points and only mentioned to help you improve. Thank you for a perfect weekend.

- Kerri, January 2022

Hi Kerri, so glad you all enjoyed your stay, as you know we have only just taken over so any heads up are appreciated. We look forward to seeing you again at Lambscombe. Kind Regards, Damon Property Owner
Dawn December 2021

“Apple Barn is a perfect guest house for a large family.”

The layout enabled all to socialise together with plenty of room and space. The hot tub was a particular attraction, which was very well maintained.

- Dawn, December 2021

Hi Dawn, many thanks for your lovely feedback. As you know we have only recently taken over at Lambscombe and are making changes. Including all new bed linen etc. and towels etc. as well as commencing general upgrades to ensure that Lambscombes extremely high standards are not just maintained but improved on. We hope to see you again when the sun is shining. Kind Regards, Lambscombe Team Property Owner
Clare December 2021

“We had a great holiday at Apple Barn, the property was lovely & had everything we could have needed.”

We stayed over Christmas & were impressed with how well the kitchen was equipped & the gorgeous Christmas tree. The owner was lovely & really helpful too. I would highly recommend staying here & really couldn’t fault it.

- Clare, December 2021

Hi Clare, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Lambscombe, and hope to see you all back again when the sun is shining. Have a happy new year, Damon and Karen Property Owner
