  • "Wow is all I can say."

    the barn is just perfect from having everything you need and more, being very comfortable, being spotlessly clean, amazing showers, well kept gardens, the large hot tub and the very peaceful location. the large gazebo being either fully open or closed and having lights and heating was a big hit with us all a lovely extension to the barn. there was seven of us four adults and three teenagers but it was just perfect everyone had their own space when required and enough room when we were all together. but the icing on the cake were the owners Paul and Val two of the nicest people you could wish to meet, from making you feel very welcome the moment you arrived, showing and explaining everything in and around the barn, ideas of places to go and even leaving us fresh supplies in the fridge the perfect hosts. we've stayed in many properties over the years but we all agreed the barn along with the owners ticked all the boxes and we would return in a heartbeat

  • "Beautifully appointed and idyllically located, we had a wonderful short family break despite disappointing weather."

    The spacious and luxurious summer house with it's top of the range barbeque and overhead heating were the icing on the cake, and the very large and clean hot tub added a touch of glamour. We were even provided with a chilled bottle of pink prosecco, fresh locally made scones, and many other small but thoughtful necessitates (such as tea & coffee, both standard and decaffeinated). Chulmleigh is delightfully pretty and feels very remote despite not being far from the M5. Perfect for a short family break, although we could happily have stayed much longer.

    Delightful comments and thank you so much Alison. It was a delight to have you visit. Kindest regards. Val & Paul. Property Owner

    Paul and Val were wonderful hosts, very informative about the local area, and they went above and beyond to make our stay so relaxing and enjoyable. The Barn is just fantastic, and all living accommodation is so comfortable and well equipped. They have thought of everything you could need or want. The bbq area was also brilliant, and my husband, who is a keen cook thoroughly enjoyed using the outdoor cooking facilities. We had lots of memorable family meals out there during the week. This was our first family holiday with 2 small babies, and Paul and Val were really attentive in making sure we had what we needed for them. We celebrated my mums 60th birthday there and Val even helped us with a few decorations for the occasion and a birthday card! Thank you so much, Paul and Val for making our holiday at your barn such an enjoyable, relaxing time.

    Thank you Bernadette for your lovely feedback and kind words. It was delightful to meet all your family and the beautiful new additions.

    The property was beautiful, very well equipped (in fact they'd thought of everything you could possibly need) super clean, spacious and all the decor was lovely too. The barn is set in very well looked after peaceful surroundings - in fact we saw deer and pheasant in the gardens.

A further two bedrooms are tucked above the separate garage across the lawn, both enjoying their own access, one with a spiral staircase, featuring double beds and boasting en-suite wet rooms.

Back in the barn, the stairs bring you up to the first-floor open-plan living space, a lofty, stylish room where you'll relish relaxing on the quality furnishings, with three beautiful sofas to lounge on before the huge wall-mounted Smart TV.

A long dining table with fabulous plush seating in rich, earthy hues is perfect for coming together over a delicious home-cooked meal, all beneath the high vaulted ceilings with exposed beams adding a rustic feel.

The kitchen is a lovely space with integrated appliances tucked behind muted grey cupboards including a dishwasher, washing machine, double electric oven and fridge/freezer.

About the location

CHULMLEIGH

Winkleigh 6.3 miles; Barnstaple 18 miles; Exeter 25 miles.

Chulmleigh is a delightful village in the heart of Devon, with a real, old-fashioned community spirit. With its narrow cobbled lanes, rows of thatched cottages, courtyards and welcoming inns it is a pleasure to wander here in this relatively unspoilt part of Devon. It is a year-round destination, with summer gardens and winter walks to enjoy. The 180-mile Tarka Trail starts in nearby Eggesford Forest, which is on the banks of the River Taw, and follows a pretty route through woodland, and offers some spectacular moorland views. Chulmleigh is particularly good for birdwatchers, who can spot kingfishers, cormorants, goosanders and dippers along the quiet riverbanks. Fishing is a popular sport in the area, with salmon and sea trout in the rivers and coarse fishing on Catham Lakes and Huntacott Water. Chulmleigh is midway between the national parks of Dartmoor and Exmoor and within easy reach of the rugged north Devon coast.
