A excellent and beautiful place to stay, spotlessly clean and everything you need. Lovely size garden which our dog enjoyed. Grandson was in awe of the deer than came to the field at the back plus the squirrels. Totally worth the money nice and quiet and so peaceful. The Sidmouth. Arms pub 5. Miles up the road was great to for food. All had a great time staying here, with the added bonus of a wonderful cake left by the owner's as a welcome gift. Can't fault the barn at all, many thanks to Mr & Mrs Bowey for a wonderful stay

My family loved the Apple barrel barn! My sons enjoyed the garden, peace and quiet of the cottage/barn. The host was very kind and left us cake which my boys LOVED! My dog loved the garden and the sheep in the neighbouring field. My youngest enjoyed the toys in the shed/laundry area. We had so much fun and would consider staying there again! My oldest loved looking at the stars at night.
Thank you for a great relaxing week!
