  • "We had a lovely stay in High Park Barn."

    It is cosy, comfortable and equipped with everything we could need. It is ideally situated for walking and visiting places of interest. We were made very welcome and would recommend it to other couples and their dog. Thank you.

  • "I had a most enjoyable week with my dog, the cottage was cosy and spotlessly clean, it had everything I needed and a good fenced patio area for my dog."

    The countryside is beautiful and we walked in lots of lovely places within easy distance. A big thank you!

    Ideal property for exploring local attractions. Clean & tidy - would recommend to others.

  • "Would have given 5 stars but for small problem of tv reception, had to refit loose Ariel connection on booster box 3 or 4 times for adequate picture quality."

    Also no coffee table for cups, etc, when sitting on the settee. Not a problem for us as we had brought our own fold up coffee table after reading reviews. Top marks for our host Tom. Who had left milk in the fridge, chocolate biscuits, tea, coffee and sugar for our arrival. He recommended a lovely pub called Ash Hill Inn about 2 miles away. Great food and atmosphere. He also arranged for an electrician to call the next day to replace a faulty light switch which had failed, can’t fault the service. As far as we are concerned a very nice place and area. A definite near 5 stars.

    We enjoyed views from the rural countryside especially seeing the various,birds, farm animals and nature around us. Neighbours and the hosts were very friendly . Lovely community spirit we felt walking around the village and the country side roads . Barn is adequate equipped for a couple to share with a dog especially.

  • "The cottage is small but comfortable."

    It is very quiet and there is good access to the owners garden and the surrounding countryside. One of the things we would have liked would be a coffee table in front of the settee although I appreciate that it would encroach on the space available. We had a very pleasant stay although we didn't make the most of the nearby attractions as we were visiting relatives in South Devon. We slept well !

    I could quite happily live here. The host was very welcoming but non intrusive. The accomodation was small but very comfortable and perfect for me and my dog.

  • "We mostly enjoyed our much needed break at the barn which was in a lovely, rural location."

    The owners were friendly and helpful and it was perfect for the 2 of us and our dog. Just a couple of niggles that need noting, we had to thoroughly clean the shower cubicle as there was a lot of black mould where the door track meets the shower tray and on the shower head and the plug in the basin only worked by pulling the bar at the back of the pedestal. Also, we did not use the microwave as, although we cleaned it out, the inside of the oven looked rusty and passed it's sell buy date.

  • "As others have said."

    ..a full size dishwasher is not needed in a cottage for 2 people. With Covid 19 and the need to wash face coverings and the British weather a washing machine would have been useful. Otherwise a lovely quiet retreat from the stresses of life at this moment. Owners pleasant and helpful but not intrusive.

  • "Looking at the picture of barn we thought it was detached and a little more isolated."

    However owner was a lovely man and the barn was very clean. Bed had a firm mattress and I felt it was a little too firm however my partner who suffers from a bad back had lovely nights sleep. So this obviously varies on the individuals choice. As does my feeling that a washing machine may have been more beneficial than a family sized dishwasher for 2 people. I say this because there are some lovely walks down by the river and we had to wash trousers that were muddy in the sink on return back to the barn. Small fenced of courtyard was a bonus for the dog and secure. All in all lovely place and lovely owner.

We found the barn made for an exelent base when attending an event at Westpoint in Exeter, itself being less than 10min from the motorway and 30 min from the venue. I hope enyone else who goes on my recommendation enjoys it as much as we did.
