Wow, what a beautiful barn conversion. A great place to stay for a large family group. We rented the barn over the Christmas period and everything couldn't have been more perfect. The large open living area on the main floor is absolutely perfect, the kitchen is exceptionally well equipped with all modern appliances and a huge island area which wRead moreas perfect for sitting around for a chat whilst preparing our dinners. The dining area has a very large table with seating for 8 people and the lounge area has two large comfy sofas and a wood burner for those cosy winter evenings. Up above the kitchen is a beautiful mezzanine floor with seating for those quieter evenings and the addition of windows in the roof allows you to gaze up peacefully at the stars. There is a separate lounge area/snug off of the main living area which also leads you to the staircase to the lower floor where there are 4 beautiful double bedrooms, 2 of which are en-suite. The Master bedroom is truly very special, with the biggest en-suite I have ever seen. Both Joanne and Simon were there to greet us soon after we arrived and answered any questions we had about the barn. They are a lovely couple who clearly have a very good eye for detail and cant thank them enough. All in all I would highly recommend this property for larger family groups who are looking for something with more class than your normal holiday rental property. Hide

Wonderful hosts providing extra logs and glassware proactively. Really loved the location and the stay was perfect for 8 of us with our dogs. It is hard to find in the dark so best arriving in daylight if you can.

A Perfect Countryside Getaway at The Barn in lower Longcombe Our recent stay at The Barn in Devon was nothing short of spectacular. Nestled in the serene countryside, this beautifully restored barn offered the perfect blend of charm and modern comfort, making it an ideal retreat for friends and family. From the moment we arrived, we were capRead moretivated by the stunning surroundings. The rolling hills, lush green fields, and picturesque views provided a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The Barn itself is a masterpiece of design, with its exposed wooden beams, stone walls, and tasteful decor creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The accommodations were superb. The spacious living area, provided a perfect gathering spot for our group. The kitchen was fully equipped, allowing us to prepare delicious meals which we enjoyed in the stunning indoor and outside dining area. Each bedroom was a sanctuary of comfort, with plush beds and beautiful furnishings ensuring a restful night's sleep for everyone. One of the highlights of our stay was the outdoor space. The Barn boasts a beautiful patio with ample seating, perfect for alfresco dining or simply soaking up the stunning views. We spent many evenings sharing stories and enjoying the star-filled sky. The dogs loved the open space to run and play, while the adults appreciated the peace and tranquility. The location is ideal for exploring the Devon countryside. We enjoyed scenic walks right from our doorstep, discovering charming villages, and taking in the breathtaking landscapes. The nearby beaches provided fun-filled days of sun and shingle, and we even ventured to a few local attractions, all within easy reach. The hospitality we received was outstanding. The owners have thought of everything to ensure a comfortable and memorable stay. Their attention to detail and genuine warmth made us feel truly welcome. In conclusion, our stay at The Barn in Devon was a fantastic experience. It provided the perfect setting for a memorable holiday with friends and family, and we left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Highly recommended! Hide
