had a lovely weekend we enjoyed our stay.

the barn was beautiful and we had everything you needed, we would return again. The only thing I would mention is that the pub was more than 1.3 miles away from the property. We went to the Thirsty Farmer for Sunday lunch which was delicious and well worth a visit.

A fabulous conversion of a barn, very tastefully converted.

Stylishly , practically and comfortably furnished. Beautiful sunny garden. Two electric charging points, which in Devon are almost a must! We were a group of 12, and had such a great week here.

The lower marsh barns were amazing.

As described but better. Totally safe, very clean with all the facilities available. A great venue for a large party group offering space in designated zones for everyone
