Beautiful quaint accommodation. The host, Elaine, was so helpful and lovely. My husband and I had a wonderful time away. Knowing our dog could enjoy the safe enclosed garden meant a very relaxing weekend for us. Will definitely be back! Thank you Elaine for being a wonderful host!
Little Barn was wonderful rural setting with excellent walks in the surrounding areas but still with great connections to surrounding towns. The host Elaine was lovely we had a great relaxed 3 day stay thank you very much Ian and Paula
We hebben een heerlijk verblijf gehad in The Little Barn. Het huisje is van alle gemakken voorzien en een prima locatie voor mooie wandelingen in de omgeving. Als je reist met een hond, is de grote en omheinde tuin ideaal en je kan er fijn wandelen langs de Otter rivier. Elaine is een fijne gastvrouw, die je privacy respecteert.
Wonderful stay - beautiful scenery , Elaine is wonderful , the public footpath lead to the river banks with fantastic views and scenery which our 2 boys loved - accommodation is well equipped. We will be back 100%
I tried to book this property and paid , a message came through that it was no longer avaliable, i then went on to book something else obviously. Next morning full payment was taken ,i contacted vrbo and the host elaine who have been very unhelpful and have basically stolen my money through no fault of my own . It may be a very nice property but if there is an issue they are not interested. Disgusting!
Wonderful little gem we will return there next year if possible.
We absolutely loved the little barn and really hope to go back next year. Its location is perfect for being away from it all, totally in the middle of nowhere whilst being close to so many places we wanted to visit. Beautiful walks around the area in the country with dog who also really loved the time we spent there. The host communicated everything we needed to know and made us so welcome. We hardly saw her but when we did she was always available for us for anything we needed or wanted to know. Managed to visit lots of wonderful breathtaking coast lines and the estuary . Branscombe beach drive down is not for the faint hearted haha but we got down there for a walk and a coffee . Loved Lyme Regis and Sidmouth the most. Next time we plan to visit the places we donât have time for this time.
The accommodation is beautiful and situated in wonderful countryside. Elaine our host was so friendly and helpful to us over out stay. We would stay there again.
Didn't want to write a review as I wanted this place to stay a secret! Elaine is a great host. Good comminication and helpful with local info. Stable was great, everything you need is supplied. Morning cuppa and evening wine on the balcony was the perfect start and end to the day. Basic BBQ but perfectly adequate for preparing food. Nice local walks along the river Otter and a pub in the village. We did think about using the local bus service but being a bank Holiday weekend the timings were hit and miss. Transport (car, motorcycle, bike) is needed. We would stay again. Thank you Elaine.
We stayed for 5 nights with our Labrador! Elaine was the perfect host and her barn was enchanting! The barn was walking distance from the beautiful River Ott and the pub ! It is compact but furnished to a high standard with an outstanding balcony and enclosed garden ! Thank you Elaine !
Absolutely gorgeous cottage in Idyllic village. Lovely walks along river Otter from doorstep. Close drive ( few miles ) to lovely places like Exeter, Exmouth, Sidmouth ( my favourite). Excellent host - Elaine.
The property is lovely and set in beautiful surroundings, Elaine is wonderful friendly, sheâs also more than happy to help with anything. Highly recommended and I will be staying again
We LOVED this place. Great for a dog-friendly couple's escape. Having an enclosed garden was brilliant (pop the dog out - job done) and the veranda and balcony were perfect for al fresco dining or sundowners. The kitchen had everything we needed. We always take our own potato peeler and knives but no need - the ones provided were great. Elaine is a superb host. Couldn't do enough and even provided fresh flowers and a welcome gift on arrival. We swam in the nearby river, in the sea and went for lots of long walks and to the toy museum in Sidmouth. Lots to do. I think this has to be the best value for money bolt hole we've stayed in. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend.
A delightful property; compact but with everything we needed, including a view over the garden and surrounding countryside. Secluded and very peaceful. The balcony in the morning sun was wonderful.
Elaine was just amazing, an incredibly warm welcome despite the very late notice which was entirely my doing (but you wouldnât have known it). This was a little piece of bliss, gorgeous walks straight out of the front door and the property was absolutely perfect, cosy, clean, warm and super dog friendly. Beautiful garden and so incredibly peaceful- I couldnât have wanted anything more. I left a little piece of my soul there and will be marking it firmly as my âhappy place!â (Will definitely be back in person soon too!). Thank you for a wonderful weekend Elaine!
We loved our stay in the little barn. Elaine is a very friendly host and the house was absolutely lovely, perfectly clean and felt very comfortable. We stayed here for a fortnite with our two small dogs. They loved the garden, and we did too!
All the other guest reviews are absolutely true! Would very much recommend!!
Such a perfect place , comfy and clean.
Lovely garden which my dog loved and I was pleased as it was totally safe for him. Stunning walks on your doorstep.
Our host was a lovely lady and we canât wait to rebook again.
Just what we needed
Beautiful location great views
Lovely host and there if we needed them
Veranda balcony my favourite just sitting and relaxing enjoying the peace and quite
Hidden gem
We loved our stay. The cottage had everything we needed. Itâs in a nice countryside with a nice community, friendly people and a great pub nearby called âThe Golden Lionâ. Lots to do in the area and a nice landlady.
We have lived here since 1980 and it is perfect for a rural lifestyle with varied walks such as along the nearby river Otter, over the cliffs on the Jurassic coast just 5 miles away and further afield, areas such as Exmoor and Dartmoor. It is, however, not completely isolated, with lovely towns not too far away.
Being able to access good walks over the road to the river Otter and up behind the property is great for dog owners. The Little Barn is in the curtelage of a 16th century thatched Devon Long House with a yard in front and three other very small converted barns. The Little Barn has the advantage of a large garden and gets the morning sun on the balcony.
