“Had a fantastic time at the farm very clean and plenty of room.”

...

On our arrival Hilary had made some treats for us so they went down well. (Thank You) Would stay again but I will bring a fan next time as it was hot when we were there and there isn't one available in the house.. Cows, Sheep, Toffee the dog & cats all very friendly. Lovely Gardens that are kept neat and tidy. All for your own use. The Pool & Jacuzzi were excellent & all the Games Rooms too. The only negative if i can think of if any was the odd fly or two that came in but fly spray got rid of them. I would recommend this property. 10/10 it was brilliant.

“Wonderful accommodation and the owners could not have been more helpful, we would love to return.”

The children didn’t want to leave, there was so much to do. The house and gardens were pristine, everything was made easy for us to relax. We also loved being on a working farm. Thank you for a lovely holiday! I would also add that Sykes were very easy to deal with even during the chaos of the pandemic, thank you.

Mrs Bennett August 2021

“We all had a fabulous holiday, although the weather wasn’t that great .”

Paul & Hilary were very helpful and friendly if we had any questions. Everything you needed for all adults and children, we loved having the pool to ourselves and the children enjoyed getting the fresh eggs every morning. We going back next year we can’t wait. J Bennett

“Brilliant venue and facilities for a long overdue family holiday.”

The cottage catered for children of all ages. Fantastic play facilities from the games room to the swimming pool. Also wonderful to be surrounded by the farm animals and tractors if you have little ones in tow. Owners were very helpful but not in the least intrusive. Can not recommend this property highly enough!

- Mrs Russell, July 2021
Miss Parker June 2021

“This place is fantastic!”

We have just had a weeks stay here with our children and they didn't want to leave. So peaceful and quiet, and Only a 20 minute drive to one of many beautiful beaches in the area. Hillary and Paul are lovely friendly people, and happy to help and have a chat whenever we needed them. We will definitely be coming back.

- Miss Parker, June 2021
Mr Booth June 2021

“Wow. What an amazing time place.”

The kids loved the swimming pool and being on a working farm and seeing the animals was also great. For bigger kids there’s pool, snooker, table tennis too. It’s a 20 min quick drive to Bude along a nice wide road. I would come back here.

- Mr Booth, June 2021
Mr Exeter May 2021

“We have just returned from an excellent week at Yellowland Farm.”

The facilities are top notch. Large comfortable farmhouse, children's playareas, gardens, snooker room and of course the indoor swimming pool which was a bit hit with us all. Hilary and Paul were very pleasant and friendly and made us feel most welcome. The homemade cookies left as a welcome treat went down very well. There were cows, sheep and chickens for the children to be fascinated with and we were allowed to collect eggs every day. We had the bonus of lovely weather but you could enjoy staying here any time of the year. All set in the peace and tranquility of the North Devon countryside A cracking holiday. Thank you all. All in all a superb stay enjoyed by everyone.

Mrs Pavord May 2021

“We spent a week at Yellowland Farm for a much needed break.”

Despite not having the greatest weather the facilities were everything we needed. We only ventured out on a few days as our girls (6&3) spent most of the time in the pool. The pool, grounds and facilities were amazing. Hilary and Paul were really helpful without being intrusive. Locally the Waitrose provided everything we needed. Would highly recommend and we’d love to return!

Mr Prandle-smith October 2020

“What a wonderful stay.”

Yellowland farm wonderful place with magnificent facilities. The owners a very friendly and helpful. The games room and toy room were a big hit. But the warm wonderful pool and jacuzzi were the big winners of the week. The kids loved it. The owners brought sheep down for the kids to feed, and eggs to pick from the chicken coop. Can’t wait to re book for next year.

Mrs Chappell September 2020

“Had a lovely week at yellowland farm.”

Whole family were delighted with the indoor pool and hot tub. The cottage was clean and comfortable, the homemade biscuits left for us were a big hit. The children were all fighting over them. Toffee the dog was a delight, she was very patient and gentle when the younger children were stroking her. The only drawback was the cats, we are not cat people. We had to keep the doors shut and could hardly open the windows because of them, but this was too be expected being on a farm. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a nice and comfortable place to relax in the gorgeous Devon countryside

Mrs Brinkley August 2020

“It was wonderful that our family could get together at this very well organised, clean friendly property.”

The owners made us so welcome and we'd love to go back again. couldn't have had a lovelier place or location. No down side at all for this property. Thank you so much. for anyone going there is enough for all ages not to have to leave the property at all and in these times that would be a reat lus for families.

- Mrs Brinkley, August 2020
Mrs Draper August 2020

“We enjoyed all the extra facilities: the games room, definitely the swimming pool and jacuzzi.”

Outdoor areas were great and our children loved the freedom of the play area and gardens, ideal for our treasure hunt. The courtyard by the swimming pool was the best place for evening drinks and made the surprise party a great success.

Mrs Causier February 2020

“We couldn't have wished for anywhere better to celebrate my sons 21st birthday !”

With three generations of our family meeting up we were all happy with the cosy comfortable accommodation, we could all be together yet if we needed a little rest from the fun and frivolity we all had our own space too. Our hosts Hilary and Paul spoilt us with their thoughtful touches throughout the farmhouse and nothing was too much trouble, everything you could possibly need was included. Set in a lovely rural area the scenery was stunning. The indoor heated swimming pool and jacuzzi were the star of the holiday we were in every day sometimes more than once The children were delighted with the play barn, outdoor climbing frame and trampoline while the adults enjoyed the snooker barn and we all enjoyed the games barn, we spent a wonderful week enjoying being together and being able to relax and reconnect. Toffee the dog was a most welcome visitor and we all enjoyed feeding him titbits and we would have loved to take him home with us ! All in all we had a wonderful holiday and would highly recommend staying here

Mrs Levens January 2020

“We booked Yellowland farm to celebrate my 30th birthday.”

We can only say positive things about Yellowland farm, it was brilliant, we all had a fantastic time and didn’t want to leave. Hilary and Paul were very friendly and helpful. The homemade biscuits were a big hit on our arrival. The house was very spacious and was very clean and cosy. There were endless things to do and we never got bored, there was something for all ages. We enjoyed the heated indoor pool and jacuzzi, which we used numerous occasions each day of our stay. We had fun in the games barn with pool table, football table and table tennis. The toy barn was a big hit with the younger children of our group, which had every toy you could think of in there. The full size snooker table was a big hit with the adults of the group. We only ventured out for a walk on the beach in Bude. We all had an absolutely amazing time and didn’t want to leave! We would highly recommend Yellowland farm.

Mrs Hughes August 2019

“We celebrated my 70th birthday at Yellowlands Farm and had a fantastic stay.”

We all thoroughly enjoyed all the facilities on offer, especially the indoor pool. This was loved by all the children from 6 months through to adults. Paul and Hillary were really friendly and very helpful and we would certainly go again. Great place for a family gathering.

- Mrs Hughes, August 2019
Ms Riley August 2019

“We booked the farm to celebrate our Golden Wedding with our family.”

Nine of us in total - ages 74 to 3 and perfect for all of us. The house itself was ideal with plenty of room for all of us. It was comfortable, very clean and well decorated with everything you might need, including hair dryers, games, books, videos and toys. The children (11, 8 and 3) couldn't wait to collect the eggs in the morning and were out of the house in their pyjamas. They adored Toffee the very friendly dog, fed the sheep and met the cows. The facilities were impressive, not least the swimming pool which was a huge hit with everyone, plus the newly acquired full size snooker table which was used most evenings! As the weather was kind to us we were out most days, so didn't have enough time to enjoy everything. We had a barbeque one evening sitting outside in the pretty garden till dark. Hilary and Paul are lovely hosts, really friendly and nothing is too much trouble, you feel instantly at home when you meet them and Hilary's home made biscuits and lovely flower arrangements were so thoughtful and welcoming. We had 4 cars in total and parking was not a problem. Great value for money and wouldn't hesitate in recommending it.

- Ms Riley, August 2019
Mrs Chilton July 2019

“Overall, we had a fabulous holiday.”

The hosts, Hilary and Paul, were so friendly and pleasant. On arrival, there were fresh flowers throughout the cottage and some gorgeous home-baked shortbread cookies to welcome us. Hilary and Paul stopped many a while to pass the time of day despite having a working farm to tend. Our youngsters loved trying to feed the sheep (but they weren't hungry this time) and watching the chickens. Toffee, their dog, was very friendly and popular Our group ranged from 7 years to 70 and there was something for everyone. Plenty of seating, crockery, space - all very well organised and co-ordinated. Free wifi was available, but we struggled for a signal in the lounge area. Everywhere else was okay. All the bedrooms and bathrooms were comfy, spotless and well equipped. Parking for our 3 cars was plenty and the environment was lovely, safe and free from the expected farmyard smells. The pool and hot tub were used everyday - just a pity we couldn't use our sinkers and inflatables etc for insurance reasons which we understood. Plastic beakers were thoughtfully provided for use in the pool area - obviously you can't risk glass or crockery breaking in a swimming pool. The games room was extremely popular - table tennis, pool and table football (although the football table had sagged a little so the players couldn't kick the balls). The separate, full-sized snooker table was excellent, as was the play room with lego, mats, bikes, trikes, balls and much more. There was even some gym equipment. The photographs on the website are a little misleading. The wide angle shots make the rooms look bigger than actual sizes. Having said that, we were still very pleased with everything and had more than enough space for three families. One slight downside was the number of flies in the cottage. Fine mesh screens at the windows would resolve this but fly spray was effective. Also, couldn't leave the patio doors open as there were cats on site which we were asked not to let indoors as they aren't house trained. The gardens, play areas and outdoor seating arrangements were exceptional and used fully most days, thanks to the glorious weather for 6 out of 7 days.

- Mrs Chilton, July 2019

Thank you very much for your feedback, we’re so pleased to hear all about the great holiday you had! We’d just like to clarify for future guests that inflatables are allowed in the swimming pool (at your own risk) – it’s just that the owners don’t provide any, so you will need to bring your own. We’re sorry you had a few problems with flies; as it’s a farm environment this can happen occasionally, however it’s usually very short lived and as you’ll see from the other feedback received, not a regular occurrence. We very much look forward to seeing you again soon! Property Owner
Mrs Stiles May 2019

“We have just had a truly wonderful week at Yellowlands Farm.”

We would not change anything about our holiday except maybe the weather. Even that didn't matter as the swimming pool, games room and comfortable cottage kept all three generations of our family happy. By the end of the week the youngest family member could swim and we all went home reluctantly but relaxed. Good places to visit locally. Recommend the otter sanctuary, Bude and Launceston steam railway.

- Mrs Stiles, May 2019
Mr Lethaby May 2019

“Very nice in every way, had a great time and the owners were lovely.”

On arrival there were some flowers which lasted the whole of our time there and we were greeted with some home made cookies which were fantastic. A lovely place, very friendly and lots to do.

Mr Murphy December 2018

“This holiday cottage was perfect for our family get together, the cosy cottage provided ample space for relaxation, the heated indoor pool and jacuzzi provided all the entertainment needed for a cold winters week.”

The country farm settling was beautiful and our little people loved seeing the animals and collecting freshly laid eggs from the chickens, Toffee the dog is adorable!

Mrs Cade August 2018

“Another fabulous holiday at Yellowlands!”

This was our 5th stay here. It has everything you want, it’s a home from home, excellent pool and jacuzzi and the location is perfect. This holiday offers something for everyone, wether you want a relaxing break or the comforts of home after a busy day out. Collecting the eggs, feeding the sheep, playing with toffee the dog or even a game of pool in the games room there is so much on offer. Mr and Mrs Cheers are friendly and welcoming and can’t do enough for you. We can’t recommend this holiday enough.

- Mrs Cade, August 2018
Mrs Belfield August 2018

“The owners were extremely accommodating of our needs.”

They were very relaxed and seemed keen for chidren to experience the 'farm feel' e.g. collecting eggs. The holiday provided the wide age range : 5 months - over 60's with complete entertainment, especially on a wet day! Very successful. The younder adults found the double beds a little too narrow. The range cooker ovens proved difficult to get up to adequate temp. There seemd to be an idiosyncrasy according to which oven was used first.

- Mrs Belfield, August 2018
Mr Davis August 2018

“Paul and Hillary had the right balance of being helpful and leaving you to your holiday.”

Having the children collect eggs and feed the chicken's, feed the sheep out of there hands was an added touch that they will remember. also when the children wanted to stay more than go to a theme park it is a good indication of how much they enjoyed it there.

- Mr Davis, August 2018
Mrs Hall July 2018

“Had an absolutely amazing week at Yellowland Farm, wanted for nothing.”

Hilary and Paul were very welcoming and friendly. Grandkids and adults alike enjoyed feeding the sheep and chickens, the fresh eggs were delicious. Would definitely recommend for a relaxing and chilled holiday. Would go back again with no hesitation. The cottage was beautiful.

- Mrs Hall, July 2018

“The owners were very welcoming and the property had everything we needed.”

The facilities on site were all excellent for a family and it was lovely for the children to help feed the animals.

- Mrs Singleton, May 2018
Mrs Hawkes April 2018

“We had a lovely weeks stay at Yellowland Farm, the pool and jacuzzi were excellent and used everyday along with the play area and games room.”

The cottage was very comfortable. The children enjoyed feeding the chickens and collecting the eggs with Hillary the owner. Toffee the dog was very friendly and enjoyed all the attention she got from us all. We would have no hesitation booking again in the future.
