We had a fantastic stay in Hastings Barn.
We accessed the Barn easily following the clear instructions in the welcome email.
Anne-Louise was a great host, she came to check we had settled in, was lovely and friendly and was quick to respond to any queries.
We really appreciated the private use of the pool and hot tub. They were just what was needed after a day of walking.
We would definitely come again, would love to try out another barn!
Thank you High Park Barns.

It was a lovely place to stay. Clean, with all the amenities you might need. Ann-Louise was also so accommodating for our unique needs. And the dog friendly nature was just amazing. The pool schedule worked really well so you had it to yourselves. Couldn't fault it at all.

Loved our stay in Hastings Lodge. So many added extras that meant a lot. The barn had everything you need, amazingly comfortable bed, to die for bathroom and a very good coffee machine.
The grounds are lovely, pool and hot tub were a luxury all to ourselves.
Wonderful well kept place. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Will certainly be back.

We have returned to High Park for the fourth time this year and have loved our time here as usual.
The check in is seamless, the grounds seemed to be updated each year with a new driveway and the addition of charging ports this year, our barn was spotless (as always), and the swimming pool is always impeccable.
My daughters and husband always look forward to the scones on arrival and we find it's the little things like this, that make the stay extra special.
Ann Marie has always been on hand whenever we have had queries and we have never had a single problem in the 4 times we have visited.

Our family of 4 had a great time at Hastings Barn. We particularly enjoyed the swimming pool and the hot tub! The location was good - being relatively short drives out to a variety of beaches and tourist locations.
We'd definitely stay again when coming to the area.

We've stayed at high park a few times and it never disappoints, providing access to a wide range of locations and activities. The barn is very well equipped, we love the swimming pool and jacuzzi. There is also Aircon in the bedrooms and a fabulous BBQ for hot days. The welcome scones are a nice touch too. The accomodation was very clean in the majority of areas, however more attention could be paid regards hovering of stairway and under sofas (sorry fussy customer). I recommend a walk to the lake, take a drink to enjoy on the decking area. Thanks for our stay!

Perfect stay in the amazing North Devon countryside!!!
Hastings Barn is an amazing place and a must visit for a relaxing stay in the middle of an amazing natural countryside location, and yet also very close to the coast and within easy access of some of the fantastic North Devon beaches. The barns are really tastefully furnished and everything is really high quality and perfect for a relaxing stay. Beds are amazing! The kids loved the indoor pool and being surrounded by nature.
Ann Louise and Paul are great hosts and created a really special experience in Devon,we will be back very soon!!

A great stay at High Park
We really enjoyed our stay at High Park barns. The cottage was well equipped, comfortable and surroundings were great. The pool was a big bonus! We loved the fact that it was only one family at a time. Thank you.

Fantastic holiday destination
Absolutely beautiful place to stay. Barn conversation has been done to a very high standard and was really relaxing and peaceful. Beds were incredibly comfy and we loved the added extras like Nespresso machine and complimentary scones.
Facilities were great with an ample sized swimming pool and hot tub with dedicated time slots for each barn so you have the whole pool to yourself.
Super dog friendly and the owners were very welcoming hosts.
Best holiday I've had in the UK for years and will definitely be looking to return in the future.

Wedding anniversary weekend
We had a fantastic stay in Hastings Barn. The barn itself was beautiful and had everything you could want and more. Ann-Marie was great, she has mastered the art of being friendly and helpful whilst also giving you your own privacy.
We would return to High Park Barn in an instant, even the dog was sad to leave.

Great location and set up
Just come back from a fantastic week. Anne-Louise has a brilliant set up -very attractive, high standard furnishings, clean, well-equipped, well-maintained cottages (washing machine, dishwasher, coffee-maker, even air-conditioning in the bedrooms.
Hastings Barn is one of three overlooking the valley. Beautiful grounds and of course the indoor swimming pool. Having individual slots for the pool was great - and it was a lovely clean (and warm) pool.
Dog and kids had an awesome time too.

Stay at Hastings Barn
We had a fantastic week at Hastings Barn. A beautiful barn to stay in close to lots to do and we loved Milkiosk. Ann-Louise was a lovely host and the barn was scrupulously clean. The pool and gardens are lovely.

July 3rd -10th '21
A very pleasant and comfortable stay, only spoiled by the constant rain, which unfortunately Anne-Louise and Paul have no control over. Hastings Barn was extremely clean with all the necessities. There was a lovely pool and jacuzzi for those rainy days and due to Covid restrictions it was timetabled so we were the only people at one time to use it. Wonderful! I suggest it remains like that forever, as the times varied and were plentiful. This means you can have a leisurely swim and no children! Very well situated for convenience of shopping and beaches. All in all, a lovely, well earned rest. Thoroughly recommended.

We had a great time
Kids loved the pool (as did we). Toddler loved the cows and the lake. One of the cows licked him on the forehead which made us laugh. Dog loved it, and she can be fussy. The barn was comfortable and had everything we needed. Lovely dog friendly beaches nearby (very close). We loved the milkiosk and used it lots. Appreciated the welcome cream tea and milk. Owners are really nice, proper grafters. They work hard to ensure people enjoy their stay. Were keen to help and even let our fur baby out for a bit while we took the kids to the zoo. Lovely quiet place to stay away from crowds and Covid safe. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect
Top quality accommodation with a host to match. Anne-Louise went above and beyond to ensure we had a comfortable stay, and ensured we had somewhere safe to store our bikes during the week’s stay. The pool and hot tub are a fantastic addition and were used daily - the rota system in place to ensure social distancing worked well and ensured safety for all. 10 out of 10 and would definitely return.

Wonderful; would definitely return
Comfy, well equipped and spacious accommodation. Pool and hot tub were wonderful. The location was perfect for us - peaceful and remote, yet within a few mins drive of several lovely towns and beaches. We had a great stay with our 3 children (7, 5 and 1 years old)

What a wonderful week!
We spent a wonderful July week at Hastings Barn - it was an absolutely perfect retreat from post lockdown London!
The barn is finished to an extremely high standard and so well equipped including all the home comforts of dishwasher and washing machine, plus a Nespresso machine and aircon! The 'sparkly new' swimming pool was a game changer and we so enjoyed (sometimes multiple) daily trips - meaning our kids had plenty to do, even after a long day of surf lessons at North Devon Surf School in Westward Ho!
The location is simply idyllic, peaceful uninterrupted views of rolling fields. It was a delight to bring our puppy and let her run freely around the ample grounds. But rather than being remote, you are minutes away from everything you could need - the Milkiosk for delicious fresh dairy, a shopping village for supplies and of course the gorgeous village of Instow and surrounding areas to enjoy.
The owners were super helpful and accommodating - we would HIGHLY recommend High Park barns, thank you again for a wonderful week!

Great location, comfortable, cosy and well appointed
I've been working in the area and staying in this lovely holiday accommodation during the week. I really appreciate the cleanliness, attention to detail (for example well equipped kitchen) and cosy set up of the cottage which is very welcome on cold dark winter nights.
The indoor heated pool and jacuzzi are a real luxury for relaxing after a long day at work.
I can imagine myself coming on holiday to here and being able to really relax with Bideford shops and restaurants very close by.

We loved the whole experience!
Lovely personal welcome, with a few nice touches to greet us as well.
Exceptionally well kitted out apartment - Lovely super king and SUPER comfy bed, we have even googled the mattress name it was THAT good to buy at home
Very clean, décor not dated nor dirty so well maintained.
Lush shower and a the necessaries like dishwasher, washing machine, coffee machine all ace.
Nice and quiet, the walls are so thick so you don't hear the neighbours.
Awesome pool and jacuzzi area, made for many relaxing mornings AND evenings with us and our 2 young boys
Would we go back.....of course we would, we even tried to book an extra night staying on 2nd, but new guests checking in on the same day, but it was on the cards
Lovely property to stay for a few nights or like us, 9 of them...great end to 2019 and a lovely start to 2020
THANK YOU FOR HAVING US :)
