The Little Barn has gas central heating, digital TV and a washing machine. Wi-fi is available. There is a table with chairs in the garden, as well as comfortable loungers.

Beautiful quaint accommodation. The host, Elaine, was so helpful and lovely. My husband and I had a wonderful time away. Knowing our dog could enjoy the safe enclosed garden meant a very relaxing weekend for us. Will definitely be back! Thank you Elaine for being a wonderful host!

I tried to book this property and paid , a message came through that it was no longer avaliable, i then went on to book something else obviously. Next morning full payment was taken ,i contacted vrbo and the host elaine who have been very unhelpful and have basically stolen my money through no fault of my own . It may be a very nice property but if there is an issue they are not interested. Disgusting!

We absolutely loved the little barn and really hope to go back next year. Its location is perfect for being away from it all, totally in the middle of nowhere whilst being close to so many places we wanted to visit. Beautiful walks around the area in the country with dog who also really loved the time we spent there. The host communicated everything we needed to know and made us so welcome. We hardly saw her but when we did she was always available for us for anything we needed or wanted to know. Managed to visit lots of wonderful breathtaking coast lines and the estuary . Branscombe beach drive down is not for the faint hearted haha but we got down there for a walk and a coffee . Loved Lyme Regis and Sidmouth the most. Next time we plan to visit the places we don’t have time for this time.

Didn't want to write a review as I wanted this place to stay a secret! Elaine is a great host. Good comminication and helpful with local info. Stable was great, everything you need is supplied. Morning cuppa and evening wine on the balcony was the perfect start and end to the day. Basic BBQ but perfectly adequate for preparing food. Nice local walks along the river Otter and a pub in the village. We did think about using the local bus service but being a bank Holiday weekend the timings were hit and miss. Transport (car, motorcycle, bike) is needed. We would stay again. Thank you Elaine.

We stayed for 5 nights with our Labrador! Elaine was the perfect host and her barn was enchanting! The barn was walking distance from the beautiful River Ott and the pub ! It is compact but furnished to a high standard with an outstanding balcony and enclosed garden ! Thank you Elaine !

We LOVED this place. Great for a dog-friendly couple's escape. Having an enclosed garden was brilliant (pop the dog out - job done) and the veranda and balcony were perfect for al fresco dining or sundowners. The kitchen had everything we needed. We always take our own potato peeler and knives but no need - the ones provided were great. Elaine is a superb host. Couldn't do enough and even provided fresh flowers and a welcome gift on arrival. We swam in the nearby river, in the sea and went for lots of long walks and to the toy museum in Sidmouth. Lots to do. I think this has to be the best value for money bolt hole we've stayed in. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend.

A delightful property; compact but with everything we needed, including a view over the garden and surrounding countryside. Secluded and very peaceful. The balcony in the morning sun was wonderful.

Elaine was just amazing, an incredibly warm welcome despite the very late notice which was entirely my doing (but you wouldn’t have known it). This was a little piece of bliss, gorgeous walks straight out of the front door and the property was absolutely perfect, cosy, clean, warm and super dog friendly. Beautiful garden and so incredibly peaceful- I couldn’t have wanted anything more. I left a little piece of my soul there and will be marking it firmly as my ‘happy place!’ (Will definitely be back in person soon too!). Thank you for a wonderful weekend Elaine!

We loved our stay in the little barn. Elaine is a very friendly host and the house was absolutely lovely, perfectly clean and felt very comfortable. We stayed here for a fortnite with our two small dogs. They loved the garden, and we did too!
All the other guest reviews are absolutely true! Would very much recommend!!

We loved our stay. The cottage had everything we needed. It’s in a nice countryside with a nice community, friendly people and a great pub nearby called “The Golden Lion”. Lots to do in the area and a nice landlady.

We had a great trip staying at the cottage, it was beautiful and had everything we could have possibly needed for our trip to Devon. We will definitely be booking to come and stay again. The balcony is a real treat, overlooking the large garden and farmland. Perfect for our dog who enjoyed roaming around the secure garden.

The barn was perfect for us, right from the start Elaine was amazing… from her directions to her perfect scones . Everything you needed was included, fantastic shower, selection of books and dvds. Sitting on the veranda was pure heaven, watching the birds feed from the feeders and talking to Dave the sheep next door. We arrived a stressed, tired and exhausted couple and left totally relaxed and happy.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property, it was so quiet except for the occasional sounds of the birds and the sheep in the field next door. Even though it rained heavily one afternoon we were still able to have a glass of wine on the sheltered balcony. The host, Elaine, was very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay.

A beautiful little bolt hole to re charge the batteries. Beautiful garden and balcony where you can sit and enjoy the morning sun. Elaine is friendly and easy going. Lovely walks by the River Otter 2 mins away with the nearest town 5 mins drive. Would definitely pop back. Thank you.

I don’t often leave a review but this place deserves the very best. It is perfect for two and has everything you need for your stay. I still love five star hotels but if you just want something simple this is for you. By the way thank you Elaine.

A gorgeous home with a fantastic garden, we felt like we'd found a secret paradise. We didn't want to leave the cottage, but with so many great beaches, pubs and walks nearby it was impossible to stay put. We'll definitely be booking again!

Just a wonderful property, clean and comfortable in a charming location. Great walking with excellent access to the most amazing parts of Devon. Quiet and out of the way. Elaine was lovely, and her cream tea delicious! Will be back! River Otter a stone's throw from the cottage...our pups loved it!!

We had a great week staying in this barn, it was an ideal location to be based so we could go off & explore the local area- Sidmouth, Exeter, Honiton, Swanaford winery & The Pig. & Elaine’s cream tea was lovely to come home to!

A lovely, peaceful little property in the countryside. We enjoyed our morning cuppa and evening tipple on the balcony where we were usually joined by a few finches and a very tame Robin. Brilliant location for daily adventures. A lovely host too.

We had a wonderful stay. The property exceeded our expectations. Everything was clean and worked and was as advertised 😀We arrived to freshly made scones, jam and cream which was lovely, thank you Elaine. Perfect base to explore the area ( new favourite coastal spot is now Budleigh Salterton! ) and come home to peace and quiet. Beautiful garden and balcony/veranda to enjoy the birds. Thank you Elaine.

Just got home from a lovely relaxing stay in The Little Barn, just what we needed. Would of liked to explore the area more but we had our dog with us and it was far too hot to take her anywhere. Don’t hear that often in England😃 Except on the evenings, lovely woods near by. I could highly recommend Branscombe beach which is a pebble beach. Would love to come back.
