| Cottage Review:
The property was very spacious and much larger than we had expected. The rooms were all lovely and clean and spacious. Everywhere was clean and the owners have thought of everything (even down to the outside lights coming on up the steps if you arrive home or leave in the dark) and stairgate outside the single bedrooms. We would def recommend it. We thought it good value for money for a Sept break. |

A wonderfully secluded and charming house & garden with plenty of space for a family whilst also being very homely. Close to Mortehoe village yet tucked away with lovely sea and country views. Kate & Roger have done a great job with Yarde Farm and offer a very warm welcome! |

Yarde Farm is a lovely place to stay. It is well laid out and has everything required for a successful family holiday. We had a great time, even on the couple of days when the weather was not so good. Kate and Roger have thought of everything so there is plenty to keep children - and adults - of all ages amused. The location was great too. We could walk to Woolacombe beach if we wanted to and there are many other lovely walks in the vicinity. We will definitely stay there again. |

Yarde Farm is lovely with lots of character. There is plenty of room with comfortable furnishings. The setting is beautiful with lots of walks from the cottage. The gardens are an added bonus, especially with children. Kate and Roger are superb hosts who will always "go that extra mile". |

| Cottage Review:
We were the first people to stay in the Long Linhay after its completion - what a privilege! Excellently and thoughtfully equipped, tastefully decorated and comfortably furnished, this cosy holiday let even has a large private garden. With stunning views and peace and quiet, this is an ideal getaway for two. |

| Cottage Review:
Yarde farm cottage is without doubt exceptional in every way. Tastefully restored to a very high standard with original features preserved, squeaky clean and spacious. The owners have provided every facility you could wish for. Cosy log fires in the evenings . . . . what a find. . . it is idyllic. Within walking distance to Mortehoe Village and surrounded by spectacular countryside and sea views what more could you want. The local beaches are beautiful - there really is no need to leave the area if a relaxing holiday is what you are looking for. We highly recommend Yarde and will be going back for sure. Kate & Roger made us all feel so welcome and the homemade cake was delish. |

We are a three generation family and the accommodation provided space for us all. Both gardens are private and safe for children of all ages to have fun and of course to have BBQ,s under the stars. We have bought back some wonderful memories - I'm sure you will too. |

Without doubt the best cottage we have stayed in, we are a 3 generation family and the cottage suited us perfectly, the facilities are superb the welcome fron the owners warm and friendly. Yarde farm is wonderfully situated with walks from the door and safe gardens for young ones to play in, in fact you could not ask for a better more luxurious base for a holiday in this lovely area, we hope to visit again. Thoroughly recommended |

We've stayed in a number of cottages over the years and this is beyond a doubt the best we've stayed in. Plenty of space, excellent facilities, great hosts and a good location. The children loved running/crawling/hiding around the cottage too. |

This is, without a shadow of a doubt, the best base for a family holiday we have yet come across! The accomadation is spacious and tastefully modernised and is as exactly as advertised (it's gorgeous!). It was such a pleasant surprise to start the holiday without having to give the place a once over, it was squeaky clean, a real pleasure to find. There are so many walks available right from the back door that our 7, 5 and 3 year old were able to manage without difficulty. The village of Mortehoe is a shortish walk away with several pubs and a village shop that is quite amazing (it has everything!). A short drive away takes you to Woolacombe (with its amazing beach) or in the other direction Ilfracombe with rockier attractions. Even Exmoor isn't that far a drive really, as said above, a superb base. When it rained we didn't feel cramped at all pottering around the house (there are loads of nooks and crannies for hide and seek lol!). Kate and Roger were the perfect hosts with amazing attention to detail and making you feel truly welcome. We just can't recommend this place highly enough, you'll have a fantastic holiday here. |

All the reviews are spot on. Yarde is the most beautiful holiday home and Kate and Roger are the kindest 'hosts'. Our family has enjoyed three extremely happy summer holidays at Yarde and guess what - we're looking forward to going back in 2011! Yarde is far more than a holiday home - it's better than home.

| Cottage Review:
Yarde Farm is by far one of the best holiday cottages we have ever stayed in. A beautiful old farmhouse, lovingly modernised with good taste - with an open fire in the winter, offers four clean, comfortable and well-furnished bedrooms, an excellent lounge, large dining room, BIG kitchen, and the oh-so-useful wetroom and boiler drying room for boots, clothes, coats etc. It really has everything you need in a wonderful location. A gentle stroll takes you into Mortehoe with the very well stocked Mortehoe Village Store, and a short drive will take you to the exceptional beach of Woolacombe. If you're undecided, stop reading this review and pick up the phone! You really wont be disappointed. And do you like cake? You'll find out what I mean when you get there. . . . |

Not much more to add to the other reviews, everything they have said is true and Kate and Roger have a truely special place that is a fantastic place for a family holiday. The house is massive and the beds are the most comfy we've ever stayed in. The spot is beautiful and so much to see and do nearby and if you want surf then croyde and woolacombe are ideal. we particularly enjoyed the morthoe scarecrow festival, everyone very friendly and lovely part of the world. We really hope to come back in the future and adults and children alike loved it, thanks kate and roger |

Yarde Farm is one of the most beautiful cottages we have ever stayed in. Firstly location - perfect for those who want to escape from the world but close enough to the local village and towns to keep in touch with civilisation. There are lots of places to visit within close proximity of the cottage. The cottage itself is very tastefully decorated, spacious and extremely clean. It was fully equipped - even for those with young children like myself. The farm has a beautiful safe garden again fully equipped for BBQs, sunbathing etc. The owners of the cottage were extremely lovely people and the perfect hosts. We very much enjoyed the cake on our arrival. We really hope to return to Yarde Farm in the future and couldn't recommend it enough to others. |

Yarde was a great spot for our New Year break. The farmhouse itself is wonderful, a lovely welcoming place to come back to after any number of coastal walks that you can do direct from the front door. There is plenty of space for 2 couples with 1-2 children, the 4 bedrooms are ideal for this. The property is stylishly appointed and hosts, Kate & Roger available to help in any way. A super start to the new year |

This was our second visit to Yarde. We stayed for Christmas and had a magical time! Kate and Roger had gone to so much trouble to ensure that our stay was perfect. The cottage was beautifully decorated for Christmas which only added to the charming and relaxed atmosphere of Yarde. We particularly like the open fires, the large farmhouse kitchen and the space and comfort the cottage offers; especially with 3 teenagers in the family! We are very much looking forward to our next visit to Yarde; Winter time or Summer Yarde is a very special place. |

Yarde Farm is a beautiful old farmhouse, renovated by the owners in 2008. It really is in a stunning location, in a countryside valley. There are four bedrooms and the house sleeps six people. It was extremely clean and welcoming and the house was full of character and had lots of interesting features. As we have a family we especially appreciated having our own outside space where the children could play. We enjoyed our stay so much that we have booked again for next year. |
