“Very nice!”

6 of us (3 x couples) happened to visit during a very rainy week! However everything was spot on with everything clean and very homely!

6 of us (3 x couples) happened to visit during a very rainy week! However everything was spot on with everything clean and very homely! Could not fault the place and would happily return to Apple Cottage with hopefully better weather!

“Great time had by all”

Family of 6 had a great time at this cottage. Welcome pack was lovely. Space downstairs is very social with room for everyone. Games room was a great asset and kept granddaughter amused. Loads of different birds in the garden. Hot tub was a great success with everyone. We went down to the stream but with the weather it was not for the faint hearted. Lovely accommodation and would recommend to anyone

“Great Family Holiday”

We recently visited Apple Barn in the Summer. It was a lovely clean spacious cottage with room for all the family. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay. We received a nice welcome pack and the owners were lovely and were always available to ask any questions. The facilities were good including hot tub and games room and Covid 19 measures were all in place. It was set in the lovely countryside but well situated for the coast and Exmoor with access to other areas of Devon. We recommend the barn.

Mrs Dunkerton September 2020

“We had a wonderful relaxing family holiday in a lovely well equipped spacious barn.”

Beautiful views over Exmoor whilst sitting in the hot tub relaxing after a day exploring the splendid Exmoor countryside. The accommodation is very comfortable, clean and nicely decorated throughout. We would definitely recommend to family and friends. As we are now home, we wish we were back at Apple Barn.

If the internet breaks like it did on our trip there is little to no 4G or phone signal to try and make plans for the day ahead so come with plans already prepared

Miss Bailey August 2020

“We stayed at Apple Barn for a week in August there were 10 of us in the party and we had such an enjoyable time.”

The barn was amazing, super clean with everything we needed for cooking big family meals. The owners were friendly and helpful about places to visit in the local area. The hot tub was a big hit with everyone, we had such a lovely time and would love to stay again.

- Miss Bailey, August 2020

Mr & Mrs West July 2020

“The owner was most helpful and friendly/approachable, Apple barn was a great place to stay and explore Devon or sit in the garden and chill out.”

the whole family enjoyed our stay from the baby to us as grandparents. We have a lot of good memories to hold on to. Many thanks.

Mrs Parr July 2020

“It was a beautiful setting and wonderful accommodation.”

The people on site were very helpful and friendly. The accommodation was perfect for our family who loved the hot tub. We would definitely book this again.

- Mrs Parr, July 2020
Mr Edwards January 2020

“We all had a lovely time.”

The owners were very welcoming and always on hand while also leaving us to enjoy our holiday which was absolutely perfect. The bedrooms were large and very comfortable. The main living space gave us lots of room for games and fun. The kitchen had everything we needed and was a joy to use. Only partial negative point was that the ad didn't make it clear that the games room was shared with other surrounding locations so maybe alter the description a bit to make this clear (but that is a minor point). Overall a great experience and would definitely recommend.

- Mr Edwards, January 2020
Mrs Hornby January 2020

“We have just returned from a long weekend and the cottage is excellent.”

Very comfortable with a great open plan layout. We were a party of two families and it suited us perfectly. The owners were lovely and very helpful. It has absolutely everything you need. The hot tub is great and loved by us all. Would highly recommend and would very happily return. Thank you all for a very stress free pleasant stay.

Good accomodation very friendly owners couldn't have wanted more just a massive pity weather was very poor so we couldn't enjoy the area as much as possible but not the fault of the property

- Mr Pinch, October 2019
Mrs Swann September 2019

“Ten of us enjoyed a fabulous weekend in this beautiful, homely, spacious yet cosy feeling accommodation.”

We didn't get under each others feet or want for anything. The kitchen was well equipped, there was plenty of fridge space and the living area was an ideal size with plenty of space for games and a bit of dancing! The bedrooms were so cute and cosy with a lovely cottagey feel to them. We had the most amazing time in the hot tub, with its sound system and lights. The owners were also so lovely and friendly towards us, they even supplied us with a rounders kit when they found out we were a rounders team!

- Mrs Swann, September 2019
Mr Bennett August 2019

“Good location, excellent facilities for 10 people.”

Great hot tub although not as warm as expected a couple of times. Lovely variety of birds visiting the bird table. Friendly and helpful owners.

- Mr Bennett, August 2019

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry that you found the hot tub temperature a little cool. As explained on your arrival, due to very hot weather the previous week, the guests had requested that the temperature be turned down during their stay. The temperature was turned up again following your request but this isn't instantaneous taking 24 hours for the water temperature to be fully adjusted. I do hope it did not impact on your enjoyment of this facility. Sykes owner relations
Mrs May July 2019

“We all loved having the hot tub and made use of the barbeque facilities.”

Disappointed that the bouncy castle was out of action! It would have been nice to have had a map of the farm grounds that we could walk around. Apple barn was the perfect accommodation for our family of 10.

- Mrs May, July 2019

Mrs Manton May 2019

“Owners extremely welcoming which was lovely.”

Barn is fabulous and in the most amazing location. Feels like you are miles from nowhere but really only a small distance from other villages. We go back if they change the mattresses, all my family said the mattresses were far too soft and were not comfortable. This is the only issue we had , everything else was superb. Lovely homemade cakes upon arrival and comforting to have other barns nearby . Decorated beautifully. Views outstanding

- Mrs Manton, May 2019

Thank you for your lovely feedback.We are sorry to hear that the mattresses did not suit your family's taste. As mattress firmness is such a personal preference, in an attempt to cater for all our customer's as best we can, the beds in Apple Barn have a medium/firm mattress with a softer topper on top, which can be removed, if preferred.Apologies that you did not realise this and I hope that knowing this would give you the confidence to visit us again in the future, should you wish to.

Rudd April 2019

“You can not fault Apple Barn.”

It seems that its owners Cathy and Paul have noted down all those niggly little things that we’ve all experienced before in self-catering cotttages and made sure that their Cottage has none of those! We stayed at Apple Barn for the easter week for joint 40th birthday celebrations - 6 adults and 4 kids. As well as a welcoming pack of some essentials and lots of cake we were surprised to find a birthday card and bottle of Prosecco which was a nice touch. We loved the beautiful open plan kitchen equipped with EVERYTHiNG you need for your stay, well- thought out bedrooms not too far apart so the little kids can be near to mum and dad, a great living room space where everyone can gather and the hot tub and views. For the whole week we felt as though we were the only ones staying.

- Rudd, April 2019

Mrs Chalk March 2019

“Beautiful place, spotlessly clean, owners were so welcoming and friendly.”

Loved the cakes they left and the basket of goodies such a lovely touch. My children loved the games room and the garden with the football net and the trampoline. And we ALL loved the hot tub!! We had a wonderful relaxed weekend spending quality time together with the extended family. We will certainly return. Many thanks to all at Apple Barn.

Mrs White February 2019

Perfect place for 7 busy ladies to have a relaxing weekend and do absolutely nothing apart from lounge in the hot tub. The owners and family left a little welcome back which was much appreciated. Would definitely go back again.

- Mrs White, February 2019
Mrs Franczak February 2019

“Great property.”

We had a family gathering to celebrate my 60th birthday and had a wonderful time.There were three generations of the family there so the downstairs bedroom and very accessible shower in that room was brilliant for my ageing parents. Hot tub was a great success and very well maintained by the owners. Great food at the friendly local pub, The Poltimore Inn. Highly recommend

Mrs Starr December 2018

“The accommodation was charming and of the highest standard in a beautiful setting.”

- Mrs Starr, December 2018
Mrs Parry October 2018

“Everything was perfect.”

The owners were fantastic and had a very warm welcome. Loved the welcome basket, with everything we needed and a little treat too! Wish I could move in to this place! There were 10 of us, a 10 year old, younger and teenagers and adults. Everyone had their own space and something to keep them occupied. They all loved the games room and hot tub! Went out for a meal in the local village at the Poltimore Arms. The food and service was absolutely brilliant. We did phone ahead, the restaurant was full but they set us up in the bar. The locals kept our kids entertained playing pool, they even passed us more ketchup when they heard one of the kids asking. The views and local area are wonderful. Everyone at cottages were always friendly and encouraged us to relax and for the kids to have fun. Beds were all very comfy and we all slept very well. Hot tub was kept maintained at the right levels for us, so we didn't need to worry about this, as we have had to at previous places we have stayed. Cooking facilities were the best I've ever experienced. We had everything we needed and more. Loved the massive dining table for us to eat together with lots of space. We will definitely be back!

- Mrs Parry, October 2018
Mrs Ackland October 2018

“We stayed for a three nights.”

We had an amazing time. The cottage more then fullfilled our expectations. Everything was there you needed. The hot tub was great. We were met by the landlord who was extremely nice and friendly. If you want peace and quiet this is the place to be. Highly recommended

Miss Moore September 2018

“Apple Barn was the most perfect place for us to stay.”

The owners couldn’t have been more accommodating and friendly! The place itself exceeded expectations. I booked it for a surprise birthday/hen weekend for a group of 7 and we all spent the weekend saying we just wanted to live there. Thanks again to the owners for going over and above for us!! We will be back!!! :)

- Miss Moore, September 2018

Mrs Cox September 2018

“Apple Barn is the most wonderful location for a break.”

The owners are really friendly and welcoming, and the barn itself has everything you could want and is furnished beautifully. Set in a pretty rural area of North Devon, so peaceful yet within reach of local shops and a wonderful pub, and only a short drive from both the West and North coast beaches. Thoroughly recommend Apple Barn to anyone looking for a holiday in Devon.. just beautiful!

- Mrs Cox, September 2018
Mr Doyle August 2018

“Very welcoming hosts, there if you need them, not if you don’t.”

They welcome you and let you treat the place like your home, just wish it was our home. So peaceful, beautiful and comfortable.

- Mr Doyle, August 2018
Mr Evans July 2018

“Apple Barn was a beautiful place to spend the week.”

Loads of character and much needed peace and quiet. There were other groups there at the same time as us but we couldn't really tell, the lay out is designed really well. Particularly enjoyed the secluded hot tub with views out over the fields. Facilities were great and meant we could enjoy everything we wanted while there. The only small thing I'd suggest changing is the beds. Metal frame beds look great but they were quite creaky and therefore didn't help with sleep. Mattresses seemed a bit old and I'd recommend getting 5ft beds rather than standard doubles, seems the norm and makes sleep a lot better!

- Mr Evans, July 2018
Mr Harding June 2018

“The cottage was fabulous, we will definitely go again, everything that we wished for and more was made available to us.”

Would recommend to anyone seeking a peaceful family getaway with lots to do.

- Mr Harding, June 2018
Mrs Dade May 2018

“We had an amazing holiday.”

Apple Barn was exactly right for our needs in a lovely setting and with great facilities. It was well situated for a variety of trips, the beach, National Trust places and countryside. The hot tub was a great success as was the well equipped games room. We would not hesitate to recommend Apple Barn. The owners were lovely, there if needed but left us alone to enjoy ourselves. All in all a great time was had by all. Thank you.

- Mrs Dade, May 2018
Miss Gauntlett April 2018

“We have just comeback from a fantastic weekend away.”

We stayed in the Apple Barn cottage, it was very clean, comfy and homely, loads of space for 10 people. We were welcomed on arrival and had such a fantastic weekend. Hot tub, shared games room was great when there was so many of us. Great views looking out over the country side. Very nice food in the local pub and visited Ilfracombe which was a lovely area.

- Miss Gauntlett, April 2018
Mrs Baines March 2018

“The barn was stunning and extremely clean and tidy.”

“Beautiful Modern Barn Conversion”

Set back in the countryside surrounded by rolling hills is the beautiful Apple Barn. We found it relatively easy to find and loved our 3 night stay in December. The barn was nice and modern with a big lounge area. It was great to have a log fire during our winter visit. The hot tub was perfect. We ventured out a few times to go for dinner or a wonder around the local towns but we were happy to relax at the barn and watch movies or play board games. There was also a games room that was open to guests.

- RebeccaAyris, February 2018
Mr Chiritoi February 2018

“It was a fabulous holiday.”

The cottage was as advertised ( was very surprised about that). The kids had a lot of fun also. The only downside was that the hot tub didn't work on our last day ( the girls were very disappointed as it was Valentine's day ) . Overall we had great time and already making plans for a second visit.

- Mr Chiritoi, February 2018

Zarsims August 2016

“A fabulous family holiday at an amazing location”

For our first family get away in a long time we wanted something to tick all the boxes, and Apple Barn certainly did that! The owners were helpful with things to do, accommodating and super friendly, even being so kind as to lend us herbs and spices when we needed them for home cooking! The welcome pack was a lovely surprise! With ages ranging from 6 to 60, Apple Barn had something for everyone. The games room was perfect for the younger ones, and the peace and quite just what the more mature side of our family longed for! We would all highly recommend Apple Barn, in its beautiful setting and cosy but large interior. :-)

Louisa R April 2016

“Great location, clean and very cosy. Fabulous holiday house”

A beautiful holiday house which was spacious downstairs and cosy upstairs. Lovely welcome from owners who were helpful but not obtrusive. Welcome pack very useful. Lovely outdoor spaces to enjoy the fantastic views. Even on the odd cold and damp days we were able to enjoy the views from the huge windows overlooking the valley. A great base to explore lovely North Devon. Certainly would recommend this property for family gatherings. The en suite bathrooms were so useful in the mornings when we wanted to make an early start.

- Louisa R, April 2016
Mr Dagger April 2016

- Mr Fellowes, December 2015
Mrs Meredith August 2015

“The setting was idyllic.”

It was the best self catering property I have ever stayed in - it was spacious and very well equipped and the owners, who lived on site, couldn't have been more helpful.

Further afield, the resorts of Ilfracombe and Combe Martin are well worth a visit, and for some of the best beaches in the country, a day trip to Woolacombe and Saunton are not to be missed.
