Lovely hotel set in nice grounds. We stayed overnight as we were attending a wedding nearby, both the hotel owner and his son were friendly and helpful, letting us check in early and even helping us get back to the hotel when the local taxi man decided to not answer his phone. The hotel decor felt a bit dated to me, but there wasn't anything wrong with it, it was clean and tidy. The room we booked was en-suite and was a good size with a nice view of the lawn. The only slight gripe was that the shower didn't have very good pressure, but it's not enough to mark it down to a 4 star review. Breakfast was good, a good choice, locally sourced food and very tasty. If you're looking to stay in the area then I definitely recommend it!

Absolutely loved my stay here, Robert and Tim were absolutely lovely from start to finish, even going so far as to offer to pick me up from a wedding reception if I was unable to get a cab back.The room was delightful, and the bath after riding my motorbike in the rain from London was really appreciated.The decor is in keeping with the country house vibe, and the room was spacious and well catered for. The breakfast was awesome. And Bude is about 20mins up the road.I loved my stay here and would definitely go back if I found myself in Devon or Cornwall again 😊

Back again after a fortnight! The Court Barn has become a firm favourite but last time we had booked to eat elsewhere. Put that right on this visit and the food is as fantastic as the rest of the experience. The location is tranquil but only a short drive to the Atlantic coast and highway on one side and the main A30 on the other. The place is spotlessly clean, comfortable with large well equipped rooms but the father and son team, Robert and Tim, are the real reason people come back time and time again. Nothing is too much trouble from complimentary tea and home made cake on arrival throughout your stay. There is plenty to do in the grounds from pitch and putt to croquet and lots of games and a well stocked library and comfortable lounges should there be a rainy day. An ideal location to tour Devon and Cornwall we simply cannot recommend the Court Barn Country Hotel and restaurant highly enough

Great little father and son run guest house/bnb. Very freindly, good size rooms, clean and tastefully decorated. Complementary tea and cakes on arrival was great, good size breakfast and cooked fresh. Crockett and a small putting green in the garden, and board games in the day room downstairs. Tea and coffee in the rooms with biscuits. I would say it is more of a couples or for the single person wanting a quiet break than for families with children. Tho my 6yr old enjoyed it there. But we only stayed for the one night. However Bude with its beaches and nice family pubs are nearby.
