The Tall Barn is comfortable and well equipped, with very tasteful furnishings. It is located on a farm, with the owner and other residents in nearby buildings. It was nice to see birds, rabbits and deer on the property. We enjoyed our time there, however found that we had to drive a lot due to the location.

As stated above , the barn is very good . Disappointing that official access on arrival is 17.30pm . I wonder if this is because it takes so long to clean after guests with dogs leave a mess .

What an AMAZING HIDDEN GEM. The house was beautiful - very well equipped - super comfy beds. The gardens and fields are an absolute bonus. I definitely hope to come back. The local town of South Molton is worth a visit - especially the markets and cheese shop! Could not recommend this house more!
