Smart barn conversion, great location, easy access to beaches, moors & Cornwall

Delightful property set within farmland but only five miles from the city of Exeter. Far reaching views to Dartmoor and close to A30 for Cornwall. Wonderful touring destination for walkers and families with beaches half an hour away. High speed internet and all mod cons. Private courtyard garden and use of shared grounds. Perfect comfort at the end of a long day exploring the beautiful Westcountry

Lovely barn conversion
The property was very nice and as good as expected.Well equipped bar a dodgy can opener and a rather difficult ceramic hob for someone who has never used one. Peaceful location, close to a local pub and the only downside a barking dog early in the morning. The hostess responded immediately to any problems.

Really lovely barn conversion
We were really surprised at how lovely the barn conversion was. Although it is a little off the beaten track it is ideal for exploring the area so close to all the busy commute roads, It is so quiet in the countryside you can really chill. Would definitely recommend to others and hope to visit again

Great Stay
Our extended stay at The Barn was all we hoped it would be and an excellent reintroduction to life in the UK. Christine and Shaun are terrific hosts, aided and abetted by Tango the cat who loves his tickles and sheep who deserve a role in any remake of "The Great Escape"

We were welcomed warmly with an umbrella in the dark and pouring rain as we arrived at the barn. That was so appreciated - thank you Christine! The accommodation was everything we had expected and we were very grateful for recommendations on things to do in the area. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Very good Barn Conversion
We were very comfortable staying at this property. The sitting room furniture could do with an update but the beds were comfortable and the kitchen very well equipped. The host was very welcoming and we found everything as we’d expected. Located in a very picturesque part of Devon.

This is a wonderful place to stay!
We loved staying at this farm! Beautiful scenery and quiet but close enough to town. The inside is an adorable cottage, and very clean and tidy. There is a kitchen, we cooked some meals, two bathrooms and two large bedrooms upstairs. If we go to Exeter again we would love to stay here again. The owners are very kind. They are available if you need anything.

Home away from home
This is our second time staying. It is a lovely cottage in excellent location, you are deep in the countryside but also very close to the city of Exeter so the best of both Worlds. No negatives, all good. My only criticism (not really) is that there were 2 lovely sheep soft toys at the property, and my 3 year old son took a liking to them and decided that they were coming home with us. I lost count of the amount of times that we had to dig the sheep out of his suitcase... He was determined to have them, but he didn't succeed at the end, we checked! Now more seriously, thanks for everything, lovely stay.
