We had a lovely stay at the barn, despite some pretty rubbish weather. It was large, comfortable and well equipped, and very peaceful. It is set in the middle of a working farm, and our kids made friends with the farm dogs and cat and we're very sad to say goodbye.

What a lovely, relaxing place to spend a holiday. You can't help but feel calmer and happier as the week progresses.

A very rural barn conversion found after travelling along tiny Devon lanes. This ancient building makes a comfy holiday retreat. All around you are the sounds of the countryside - cows mooing, sheep bleating, cockerels crowing (not so welcome at 4.00 in the morning!!) and the chatter of numerous little birds. Mike and Shirley are the kindest hosts Read moreand happy to talk about the farm and show you some of the animals. Our grandson says he will miss Apollo and Annie (the ponies)! Hide
