  • "A real home from home, barn is well equipped and very comfortably furnished."

    Location was very quiet with good walks from the doorstep and many walks a short drive away. Local shops and really fab farm shop which had a lovely cafe attached. Owners were lovely and friendly, on hand for any questions, but not intrusive. We had a lovely week recharging our batteries and hope to return. Thank you Claire and Freddy for your hospitality.

  • "Very comfortable cottage."

    Everything there that you could need, and handily placed for touring East Devon and West Dorset. Friendly owner, nice dog walk outside and good quality furniture inside. Shame about the terrible weather, but having such a comfortable cottage to come back to each day more than compensated. Would recommend this venue.

  • "My husband and I had a lovely comfortable week staying in Oak Barn."

    Our two Yorkshire Terriers enjoyed the safety of the enclosed garden and the humans enjoyed the comfortable reclining sofas, cosy bed with luxurious bedding and soft fluffy towels. Our hosts, Freddy and Clare were friendly and accommodating and any minor issues were quickly sorted out. Great food at the two local dog friendly pubs. We would happily stay again.

The property

This inviting detached property sits in a private, secluded setting on the outskirts of Kentisbeare, Devon.

Benefitting from an enclosed garden, a well-presented interior and off-road parking, Oak Barn invites families of four and their canine companions for a country stay in Devon.

After a day of exploring the local area, kick off your walking boots and get comfortable in the living space, housing all a television, sofa and gas effect woodburner.

French doors lead out to the picnic bench where you can enjoy lunch when the sun is shining.

Move into the kitchen, well-equipped for all your home-cooking essentials, including an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge and freezer, whilst the adjacent dining room is set up for mealtimes together.

Head upstairs and enjoy some ‘me time’ in the family bathroom before retreating to the bedrooms to catch your rest, offering a king-size and a twin, both finished in neutral tones.

Within a mile there are two pubs, The Wyndham Arms and Keepers Cottage Inn, both excellent choices for a meal out, while there is an excellent farm shop a little further and offers a great range of local produce.

For further amenities, the historic town of Cullompton is nearby and boasts an award-winning farmers market, an assortment of shops, restaurants and cafés and some beautiful churches.

Cullompton is also the gateway to the outstanding scenery of the Culm Valley, much of which falls within the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it a real haven for walkers and your pooch will certainly enjoy it!

Take off further afield and discover Exeter, where you can admire the cathedral and Northernhay Garden or get your fix of retail therapy.

Choose Oak Barn and uncover the delights of Mid and South Devon.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
