Testimonials

Dear Andy and Lucy
Just a quite note to thank you both very much for our enjoyable holiday. We all had a fantastic time. Henry is still asking to feed the animals, to go the 'top room' (his name for the games room) and he told us at breakfast the other day that he loved farmer Andy!! All of the facilities were really well thought out and planned and everything was immaculately clean, which made it even more relaxing. We have recommended it to numerous friends since our return and we will definitely be back.

Just a quick email to say thank you so much for a wonderful week at Glynn Barton. Megan loved feeding the animals and the soft play area was a great hit. We are delighted with how confident both she and Charlie were in the pool. Our previous experience in a swimming pool had been very traumatic.
Hope to see you again later in the year.

We just wanted to write and thank you both for the lovely holiday we had at Glynn Barton last week, staying in the Granary. The location, cottage and facilities were excellent, and your warm hospitality was much appreciated. Sam had a wonderful time alternating between the soft play area, playroom and swimming pool, all of which were ideal for an active toddler! He also loved feeding the animals every morning - thank you Andy for your patience and kindness. If Sam had his way we don’t think we would have left the site all week.

We hope the business continues to go from strength to strength for you, we will certainly be recommending it to everyone we know and we’re sure we’ll be back in the future!

Until then, thank you again for making our stay so memorable.

We just wanted to thank you for an amazing week. The cottage was wonderful - you really have thought about everything, right down to the 'happy' eggcups, as the boys called them. Your attention to detail gave us the most relaxing week. The boys wanted to thank you for the toys and the tennis rackets. Aidan is begging to play again!! We loved the jungle, the videos and the gorgeous food!

Thank you so much. The care and attention you have lavished on the place is so plain to see. We have had many holidays where we came away feeling ever so slightly ripped off. This time, we had to drag ourselves away.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful holiday. The children loved all the facilities and Will and I felt very refreshed after our week in Cornwall. We loved staying at Glynn Barton cottages and would very much like to come again. Best wishes and thank you for making our stay such a happy one.

"The most wonderful thing though was just being able to leave the door to the cottage open and let her run in and out without having to worry about traffic, strangers or any other of the assorted dangers that we live with day to day. Thank you so much for providing such a fabulous, secure and beautiful toddler-friendly environment for us to spend our holiday!"

"Linda and I just wanted to say how much we enjoyed ourselves last week in the Grooms Cottage.

Glynn Barton surpassed our expectations and we had a wonderful time.

If we can organized ourselves around school holidays (Ben starts in September) we'd love to come back again next year. Everything was really organized, and your welcoming but not intrusive presence made us feel at home. Ben is still on a high, and I'm trying to talk him out of chickens for his birthday! He loved the animals, the new great soft play area and swimming pool and the relaxed open area where he could make new friends in complete safety."

"Just a quick note to say thank you very much for your hospitality last week. We all had a fantastic week and it is very likely we will return one day. Your place exceeded all of our expectations.

We will be recommending Glynn Barton to all our friends."

"Having returned only yesterday from our cozy home from home, the Bull Run, we felt we must say a huge thank you for helping us to have such a fantastic week's break. Having just read again the glowing reviews on your website, we couldn't agree more with them.
Olivia, our three year old, adored the swimming pool, outdoor play area and playbarn and became increasingly confident throughout the week when feeding the animals- we even saw her sneak in the occasional stroke of the chickens!

Guided by your helpful folder in the cottage, we were able to visit a great deal of Cornwall. However even if the weather had not been in our favour, staying on the estate would have been just as lovely. We hope to return soon."

"Many thanks for a wonderful 2 weeks at Glynn Barton. We all had a fabulous time and really appreciate all the advice on days out that you gave.

Hopefully you are enjoying the quieter times now that Matthew and Ben have gone and the pressure for eggs each morning has decreased!

Thanks again for a wonderful stay in a truly lovely place."

Sara, Alan, Matthew and Ben

"Just a quick message to say a huge thank you to you both for making our holiday so wonderful.

Everything was straight out of Country Living (which is where I heard about you) absolutely beautiful and couldn’t have been more idyllic.

Our son Jack was in his element, animals to feed, playgrounds, ride ons and other lovely children to meet up with and chat! There was a great crowd of people with their families which made it even nicer.

Thank you to you all again. We are hoping to come again next year, that is if you are not booked up already."

Thank you Mandy Savage

"I just wanted to tell you both what a wonderful happy and relaxing time we spent at Glynn Barton this past week.

The facilities were just outstanding and we couldn't have hoped for more. Our two year old, Izzy is a shy and sensitive little thing and has always been terrified of, amongst other things, animals an water. By the time we left on Friday she was feeding the animals on her own and was so confident in the swimming pool that she was trying to swim all on her own (usually I'm left with nail marks on my neck
after a trip to the local pool!).

The most wonderful thing though was just being able to leave the door to the cottage open and let her run in and out without having to worry about traffic,
strangers or any other of the assorted dangers that we live with day to day.

Thank you so much for providing such a fabulous, secure and beautiful toddler-friendly environment for us to spend our holiday! Very many thanks once again for a memorable week."

"Thank you for a memorable week staying in Grooms. It beat all our expectations. You make your guests feel at home. The boys just loved it. Until Next time.."

"My husband and I, along with our young son have just spent a fantastic week with you and we cannot thank you enough for making it one of the best holidays we have ever had. We were so impressed with how clean and tidy the whole setting (not just the cottages) were and really appreciated how much thought must have gone into all those little extras that make a holiday, especially one with a young child, so special. The bottle of wine left in the cottage, the large quantity of fresh towels and the great play facilities that kept our son occupied all day, made the experience so enjoyable and very relaxing. We look forward to coming back next year."

"We had a fantastic time in the Old Stables this week. You have a created a wonderful happy environment. The food, feeding, pool, playbarn, tennis and quality of beds/linen etc were all first class. We will definitely be back. Thanks."

"Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed our week at Glynn Barton over New Year. Our boys were thrilled with the animals and the great play & swimming
facilities, we had a great time.

Wishing you continued success and hope to see you again soon!"

"Thank you for a lovely week at Glynn Barton, we had a fabulously relaxing and enjoyable holiday and Ella had a ball (although she keeps going to our front door and pointing and making donkey noises and doesn’t seem to understand when she is faced with traffic!) we have recommended you to all our friends who have toddlers."

"Hi Andy & Lucy - just wanted to say thanks for providing such a lovely place
for us to spend our holiday. We had a brilliant week and feel fit, healthy and ready to plough on through to the next break at Christmas. It's really good to find places run by like minded people providing all the services and facilities that make a brilliant holiday.

Thanks again, hope to see you again"

"Just wanted to drop you a quick e-mail to thank you for a fab holiday. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves & Richard & I feel like we've had a holiday too (not just Sam) !!

The cottages a lovely, warm & comfortable & I was so impressed with the feather & down duvet I'm going to buy one. Little luxuries like that certainly make you feel that you are getting your monies worth. Sam loved feeding the animals in the morning & I'm sure has been looking for them since we got home. We had been planning to buy him a play house but having seen the fun he had in yours we will be doing that sooner rather than later.

There has obviously been a lot of thought put into your business & you should both be very proud. I'm so impressed I will be telling all my friends with small children & we will be back next year..... I've just got to decide which cottage I'd like to stay in....."

"Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our week with you. I've worked in the travel industry all my life and was Marketing Director for a luxury villa operator before I had the kids, so I do understand what it takes to run an operation such as yours. Our cottage was immaculate, and I was particularly impressed with the fact that all the facilities were fully open to us despite the fact we were your only guests for most of the week - this really adds to the impression that nothing is too much trouble. I was really impressed with your set up and have already recommended you to friends with young children. I hope that we will be able to return before too long."

Heather Moore

.........................................................................................................................................................

"Many thanks for another lovely holiday at "The Storehouse".We were very impressed with all the work you have done over the past year both inside the cottages and around the grounds, it all looks great, a credit to you both. I am sure you both now need a rest just to enjoy all the good work.

Hope to see you again."

Julia & David Farish

"Just wanted to say thanks! We all had a really lovely time. The cottage and facilities you have put together are fantastic and really thought out from a parents point of view which is such a refreshing change. We all loved feeding the animals and only wish we could have stayed another week to make use of eveything else, a week just isn't long enough. Hopefully next year!! Thanks again, I will definitely be recommending you to my family and friends and we will be back again."

Claire & Pete Marsden

.........................................................................................................................................................

"I just wanted to take a few minutes out from the mountain of post holiday washing to say a huge thank you for the most wonderful holiday. The weather was not on our side, but your beautiful cottage and amazingly child friendly facilities made it all worth while. In fact we wasted money by going out to see all that Cornwall has to offer as Molly was quite happy to stay and play on the ‘curly slide’ or use the pool. In fact I am proud to say that with armbands, Molly swam for the first time unaided in your pool!

I hope that we left the cottage as we found it (I did run the Hoover round quickly!) and that Dougie is feeling a little better. Molly was at a loose end this morning with no animals to feed and our cats are a poor substitute for Bonnie I am afraid! I have gushed to all who will listen and I am sure that you will be having lots of people heading your way (I know my parents are planning on visiting next summer) and we will see you again, although there will be four of us next time!"

"Just a quick note and a big thankyou for our holiday in 'Grooms' last week. We had a fantastic time and it was just what we were looking for in a family holiday. We were able to completely relax while the children had plenty to keep them happy, couldn't have asked for anything better. Location and cottages perfect. Thank you once again."

Lisa, Richard, James & Nina

"Thanks for the great holiday, we had a lovely time despite the weather being so disappointing. The boys are desperate to come back."

"Hello, just a note to say how much Emily, Neil and I enjoyed our stay.
Emily loved feeding the animals and has been busy decorating the eggs she
received. We were all sad to leave on Saturday morning."

Jacqui

"We would like to say that we really enjoyed our holiday in The Mill House. We were there week commencing the 3rd July. The children absolutely loved the farm and all the animals. They keep asking when we are going back."

Paul, Michelle, Bethany & Cameron Jones

"Just a quick note. Had a great week with the boys last week. The Bull Run was perfect for us. Always a hard grind coming back to London..."
