Roughtor Barn

Our shirt stay at Roughtor Barn was lovely, the perfect venue for a 60th birthday get together.

The spectacular view from the dining table and patio made a celebratory meal a really special occasion. The open plan kitchen, dining, living spaces were well equipped and tastefully furnished, we enjoyed the old school record player and other thoughtful touches. Comfy beds too. The bumpy track to the remote location might not suit everyone but is worth it to really get away from it all and experience the peace and wilderness of Bodmin Moor. Be mindful if you have a dog that there is no enclosed garden, the doors open directly onto the moor where there are sheep and ponies. We were very lucky to have hot, sunny weather and great view of the solar eclipse, however a winter break with the log fire lit would be great too.

The property was lovely and very well set out.

The views are amazing and we loved our neighbours (cows horses sheep). In was nice to wake up in the morning to see who had come to visit. Very quiet and relaxing. The directions that were provided were excellent and took us straight to the property. The cake on arrival was a lovely treat and very nice. Enjoyed by all. The milk,tea and coffee was also vey much appreciated after the long drive down. (Thank you ) The only problem we had which wasn’t a big one was that the patio doors were a little hard to close as some of the door seal had come away and we had to keep pushing it back in.

Great stay at Roughtor Barn.

Amazing views, peace and quiet just what we needed. Enjoyed the different animals visiting us outside. Great Moorland walks on doorstep. Highly recommend, thank you.

Extremely charming place with gorgeous views and and very rustic feeling cottage.

Place was very clean when we arrived and we did our best to keep it clean and tidy during our stay. Was fully stocked with all the things one would expect (cutlery, cooking utensils etc...) as well some utensils for baking if you wanted. There was helpful guide book with information on surrounding areas as well things to do, and any information one would need for their stay. We did have an issue with warm water but we were able to call someone to get it looked and they fixed it the same day we called. Also, the guide mentioned different coloured bags for separating any waste, but these bags were not provided nor could we find them anywhere in the cottage. We did do our best to separate the waste when we left, however. Final thing, though not inherently a downside, the cottage is really out of the way, and to get to it you need to drive for a fair bit on an old road with lots of rocks and gravel, may not be the best for cars not suitable for harsh roads, something to consider if you go for this cottage. All in all, it was an enjoyable stay and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get away 4/5 stars

Beautiful location Excellent place Lovely decor Quality

This is the first time we have booked through Sykes and I can honestly say we couldn’t believe how amazing this place was when we arrived.

The location is simply outstanding and made such a pleasant change from being cheek-to-jowl with other holiday makers, this place looks out onto open fields and the mountain in the distance. The property is really well appointed with everything you could possibly need, even the thoughtful touch of a wildflower arrangement and cream and scones to welcome you to your holiday. The property has obviously been extensively refurbished to an incredibly high standard with bespoke handmade furniture, oak floors with lovely underfloor heating, artisan light fittings and a very cozy log burner. My favourite part was the decking that steps out into your own field which is visited regularly by roaming sheep and wild horses with their foals. This was an amazing space for morning yoga and landscape painting in the afternoon. We wanted to get away from it all and it certainly gave us the peace and tranquillity we wanted. However, when we did want to step out into the outside world there was a huge choice of places to go within a half hour drive, and the village of Camelford 5 mins away had very handy shops and restaurants. I can’t recommend this place enough and for sure the photographs certainly don’t do it justice! An absolute gem.
