About this cottage rental

Enjoying a rural village location, The Byre-Cross Farm is an ideal stay for those wishing to relax in a slice of traditional Devon, yet with all the modern conveniences of contemporary living. With its tucked away edge of village location, you are just a stroll away from the village pub that serves up locally produced ales and food throughout the day.
Enjoy some spectacular views just a short walk from the property for any budding photographer, painter or walker taking in the sites as you look down the valley over Barnstaple and up the river Taw out to sea. Some of the most awe inspiring views and walks can also be found on the rugged Exmoor National Park, and along the North Devon coastline, littered with miles and miles of un-spoilt golden sandy beaches. The principle North Devon market town of Barnstaple is just 2 miles by car and offers a wealth of local and national high street shopping brands, as well as a multi-screen cinema, theatre and super bowl plus, a 12 court tennis complex.

Lovely barn conversion just needs a bit of an update in term of decor and cleaning

A comfortable property tucked out of the way in a quiet village just 10m drive from all the amenities of Barnstaple and 20/30 minutes from beaches of Saunton/ Croyde etc. Some nice walks nearby on an old disused railway line. The accommodation is converted farm buildings with an interesting layout that may not suit everyone because of the height changes, but if you’re looking for a quiet, relaxing “inland” holiday this could fit the bill.

Just returned from a week at the Byre. Very nice property, well positioned for exploring North Devon.

A nice spacious holiday home, in a scenic quiet location, with friendly host. Was great to have 2 parking spaces, right next to the property and a small enclosed garden to let our dogs run around in and the welcome pack was a nice touch. The level of cleanliness was a bit disappointing, all floors and surfaces has been thoroughly cleaned, but the walls and ceilings were full of spiders webs and spiders. So we spent the first 2 hours of our stay cleaning. The 2 couches were extremely soft and the kitchen tap constantly dipped. Also there was no toilet paper, luckily we had brought some with us. Overall we did enjoyed our stay at the Byre and the location, with a few small improvements, it would be a perfect holiday home.

We stayed over Christmas this year and the property was extremely toasty and warm! Loads of room for everyone! Hosts were lovely. We didn't visit the pub but we did have a lovely walk on Boxing Day in Ilfracombe, which is very easy to get to and the drove back to Goodleigh via the very beautiful coastal road. If you have prey driven dogs like us be advised the garden is not enclosed, which just means you have to be vigilant when letting your hounds out. There are loads of shops in Barnstaple which is only a couple of miles away. Would definitely visit again and highly recommend.

An all too short weeks break. Ideally situated for a variety of activities and a lovely place to come home to each evening. We’ll appointed but a few niggles with missing lightbulbs which needed replacing. Very responsive hosts. Something for consideration may be hand rails down the steps between areas if staying with older family.

Property great, pub a let down.
Property great, pub a let down.
This was a great place for our stay. Comfortable warm clean and everything we needed. Excellent value. Nothing to do with the property but twice we tried to book with the pub, the second time we tried on the Monday and first day we could go was Friday, we left Friday! Surely not all tables were booked all night, we just wanted an early evening drink. BUT, this does not reflect on the Byre which was excellent . Thanks for a great week.

Nice and quiet location with superb pub/restaurant in the village. Cottage well fitted out,but let down by a few cleanliness issues which we had to do ourselves which was a pity as we expected better.
