• "Great accommodation and well situated to go places."

  Certainly reccomend. My only criticism would be the electric hob but I am used to gas and most people will eat out anyway. Good Sunday lunch at the halfway house in Willand too

  This was our third stay, ideal for us visiting family in Tiverton. Plenty of dog walks from the door. Range of dog friendly eateries both in walking distance and further afield. Have already booked for next year!

• "Nice place to stay - there were a few spiders and cobwebs but generally clean and tidy."

  Bed was comfortable and it was the perfect base for a few days away in the countryside. Would echo other comments regarding a washing machine would be a better option than a dishwasher but other than that we enjoyed our break.

• "The property was exactly as described."

  Wonderful location, Ideally placed to explore Devon's South coast. If you don't fancy driving everywhere Tiverton Parkway railway station is a 12 minutes drive away; this gives access to Paignton, Plymouth etc. The hosts. Tom and Sarah, are very pleasant, approachable people. Shortly after arrival Tom explained that they would not be intrusive but should we need anything-just ask. Really enjoyable holiday, could only be improved with a non stick frying pan

• "Such a shame that this potentially lovely property feels so unloved."

  The location is good, it's warm, quiet and the bed is very comfortable but it needs a really deep clean especially in the bathroom which is full of black mould (shower, tiles, windows etc) and some investment in repairs and maintenance of the building and equipment. The window blinds are grubby and fraying, the pillows totally flat, the TV cable needs renewing from the booster box to the TV, the duvet stained, the sofa tired and faded, the light bulb in the fridge not working and many other minor issues need attention. Disappointing overall when all the items needing attention require so little time, cost and energy to put right.

  Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback - it's really helpful and a score of 75/100 is OK although less than we normally get (average of 92 in the last 6 months). We do a deep clean every quarter which includes re-grouting the shower. We agree that the blinds need replacing and are actioning this. We are also looking for a replacement sofa. We live next door to the property and are always happy to try our best to rectify any issues if the holiday makers contact us during their stay. Thanks. Tom and Sara Property Owner

• "Would have given 5 stars but for small problem of tv reception, had to refit loose Ariel connection on booster box 3 or 4 times for adequate picture quality."

  Also no coffee table for cups, etc, when sitting on the settee. Not a problem for us as we had brought our own fold up coffee table after reading reviews. Top marks for our host Tom. Who had left milk in the fridge, chocolate biscuits, tea, coffee and sugar for our arrival. He recommended a lovely pub called Ash Hill Inn about 2 miles away. Great food and atmosphere. He also arranged for an electrician to call the next day to replace a faulty light switch which had failed, can’t fault the service. As far as we are concerned a very nice place and area. A definite near 5 stars.

  It is very quiet and there is good access to the owners garden and the surrounding countryside. One of the things we would have liked would be a coffee table in front of the settee although I appreciate that it would encroach on the space available. We had a very pleasant stay although we didn't make the most of the nearby attractions as we were visiting relatives in South Devon. We slept well !

• "We mostly enjoyed our much needed break at the barn which was in a lovely, rural location."

  The owners were friendly and helpful and it was perfect for the 2 of us and our dog. Just a couple of niggles that need noting, we had to thoroughly clean the shower cubicle as there was a lot of black mould where the door track meets the shower tray and on the shower head and the plug in the basin only worked by pulling the bar at the back of the pedestal. Also, we did not use the microwave as, although we cleaned it out, the inside of the oven looked rusty and passed it's sell buy date.

• "As others have said."

  ..a full size dishwasher is not needed in a cottage for 2 people. With Covid 19 and the need to wash face coverings and the British weather a washing machine would have been useful. Otherwise a lovely quiet retreat from the stresses of life at this moment. Owners pleasant and helpful but not intrusive.

• "Looking at the picture of barn we thought it was detached and a little more isolated."

  However owner was a lovely man and the barn was very clean. Bed had a firm mattress and I felt it was a little too firm however my partner who suffers from a bad back had lovely nights sleep. So this obviously varies on the individuals choice. As does my feeling that a washing machine may have been more beneficial than a family sized dishwasher for 2 people. I say this because there are some lovely walks down by the river and we had to wash trousers that were muddy in the sink on return back to the barn. Small fenced of courtyard was a bonus for the dog and secure. All in all lovely place and lovely owner.

  The added bonus was the sucure back yard for the dog to play in whilst we enjoyed a glass of wine in the sun trap. Plenty of nice lesurely walks in the area especially down by the river. We found the barn made for an exelent base when attending an event at Westpoint in Exeter, itself being less than 10min from the motorway and 30 min from the venue. I hope enyone else who goes on my recommendation enjoys it as much as we did.
