We booked to stay here for my birthday celebration, there were 8 adults and seven ages all varying in ages. This is an ideal house the children loved it and even had days when I’m thier words wanted an in day , the depth of the lake worried me but they happily fished it with parental supervision. The house was spacious enough that there was always somewhere to escape to for a quiet moment, the Little play room was a great hit brimming with toys and enough board games for family fun. The only fault was the garden space with the trampoline and play equipment it was unusable due to the dirty state it was in but that said I would recommend this house for a family holiday.

“We had a wonderful holiday.”

Its a lovely big house, plenty of room for all of us and very thoughtfully equipped. The lake is stunning but you can not see it from the house. Do not espect to let children out to play and keep an eye on them from the terrace or house, the play area and lawned area are not visable from the house.

- Mrs Long, August 2019
“The house and the environment was georgeous!”

!! The house was so big, you could get lost in it!! Maybe the pool table was a bit worn out but a new cloth and new cushions will do. Other than that everything was perfect!!! 9.5/10 from us!

- Mrs Apitzsch, July 2019
“The house was extremely well equipped.”

The garden is lovely and the house is so impressive to look st from the front.

- Mrs Williams, June 2019
“For young families the stairs maybe an issue .”

Would have liked to be able to recycle . Bigger towels for showering would have been a bonus . We used on line shopping which was great . All In all we had a fab time .

- Mrs Browne, June 2019
““Brilliant accommodation and location for mixed party of adults and kids” This spacious house was perfect for our group of 4 families (ages 5 to 43).”

It has a variety of seating places for retreating, whilst affording large seating areas for community eating and gathering. The fishing lake was a major success and we all battled it out on the table tennis table and pool. Xbox and PS2 available, but everyone too busy! Raised patio area provided shade and outside BBQ area. The Owner could not have be more helpful and was very approachable and accommodating.

- Mrs Hughes, June 2019
“The house and grounds were fantastic - perfect for a large family gathering.”

The only criticism was that some of the mattresses were getting a bit tired, and the zip and link beds were not actually zipped together

- Mr Edwards, April 2019
“Meadowsweet Farm is a beautiful house in a glorious setting.”

It had everything we needed for a very enjoyable stay. Plenty to entertain, extremely comfortable, gorgeous views. A real home from home. Tons of storage space. All the equipment and daily essentials you need. I would only add that a bigger electric oven would have been handy when cooking for 12 as not all were comfortable using the Aga but I loved adapting to it and it was still great.

- Mrs Humphreys, April 2019
“Fab property and great communication between Sykes, myself and contact of the property itself.”

- Mrs Carter, December 2018
“Truly amazing.”

. already looking to book again for next year.. quite possibly the best British holiday we have been on x

- Miss Moulton, September 2018
“We went with all our children and grandchildren and everything was lovely.”

The high chairs and cots were ready for us and all beautifully clean. Everyone enjoyed the house and the pool table was great in the evening and fun was had by us all! Thank you very much Jill and Martin

- Mr Waller, August 2018
“Meadowsweet farm is an amazing family house, in a beautiful setting .”

Lots of space to spread out. The playroom , well equipped with toys, was a lovely surprise for our five granddaughters. unfortunately it was too wet to use the play park but had it been better weather that would have been put to good use.

- Mrs Scotton, August 2018
“Everything was lovely except the aga cooker had to be on all the time.”

We found this unbearable in the recent heatwave and it was very hard on our dogs.Thank you for our stay would stay again. Damien.

- Dunne, June 2018
“Having stayed with family in various properties I think it fair to say this topped them all.”

The kids had a fabulous time with the games room and playground and the parents enjoyed having enough space to do their own thing. Would recommend this property to all.

- Mrs Stewart, May 2018
“Meadowsweet Farm is a fantastic house for a large family gathering.”

Loads of room for adults and children, playroom, 3 sitting rooms, baronial dining hall, lovely large rooms and a great base to explore the surrounding countryside

About the location

BURRATON COOMBE

Saltash is dominated by the magnificent Tamar Bridge, Brunel’s masterpiece of engineering taking people from Devon to Cornwall across the Tamar River, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Saltash retains much of its old Cornish charm with narrow streets rising steeply from the banks of the river, and plenty of shops and interesting inns. From the old quayside there are river trips up stream to Calstock, a pretty village with white cottages on a steep hillside. Here, the 120 foot giant 11-arched Calstock Railway Viaduct towers above the River Tamar and carries one of Britain’s most picturesque branch lines down to the coast. Saltash offers some beautiful walks along the Tamar, and is only a five minute drive from Plymouth, with a plenty to occupy visitors including the historic Barbican quayside area with cafes, shops and bistros, the National Marine Aquarium and several theatres. A perfect base for exploring the area along the beautiful River Tamar.

Note: Dogs are not permitted in the dining hall.
