Reviews
We stayed here for a week with a 5-year-old and a 2-year-old. The setting is absolutely stunning, surrounded by unspoilt countryside. The owners, Mike and Nicola were wonderfully welcoming and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for them. They showed the children the lambs in the barn, let us name their new chickens and gave us fresh eggs! The location is superb - a great base to explore the local area (Combe Martin, Ilfracombe, Linton/Linmouth etc) and Mike and Nicola gave lots of great tips too. The cottage is perfectly appointed and child-friendly (including cot, stair gate, high chair). The children adored the stay here and we did too - peaceful and relaxing. (Only point to note is that access is down a long bumpy track, so best not arrive in a Ferrari if you were planning to..!)
The Byre was spacious and cosy, with a good sized kitchen. Remote and beautiful views down the valley were spectacular. A great base to explore North Devon area.Really enjoyed our time there.
The beauty of the views at this property were excellent and we had a very warm welcome from the owners.

In a stunning location, so peaceful and with beautiful views. The Byre is a cosy and welcoming cottage with everything you need. There was lots to do in the local area for adults and children and we had a lovely stay.
We were given a lovely welcome to the property. The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed and the garden was a surprise - not photographed on the site, and we loved spending sunny evenings in the garden. A delight.
A lovely holiday in peaceful and beautiful Exmoor. Ideally situated with fabulous views, the coast inky a short drive away. Very comfortable cottage, friendly owners and a cream tea to welcome us on arrival. Loved everything about this cottage and love the area.
We received a warm welcome from the owners, they were very helpful but gave us privacy during our stay.

The cottage was in a good location for exploring the beautiful north Devon countryside and coastal towns.
A lovely cottage in an excellent area. The owners were both friendly and helpful.
A beautiful cottage in a charming rural location with views of the valley from the living room. Close proximity to the South West Coast Path is a major attraction for me.
We had a great week at The Byre. Lovely welcome and tour of the property on arrival by one of the owners and a delicious cream tea awaited us too! The cottage was perfect for our family with amazing views over the valley. The log fire was a welcome addition in the cooler October evenings. We would definitely recommend this cottage to our friends and family.
The cottage was in an amazing location and it was of a very high standard, couldn't have asked for more. The owners were especially nice and welcoming. A grand place to explore North Devon.
The cottage itself was delightful and the views amazing. We would recommend this property to anyone and we loved everything about it.

We enjoyed the peace and quiet of the property, and the fantastic views from the garden. The cottage is also in a great location for the exploration of Exmoor and other areas of North Devon.
Very hospitable owners of the cottage who made us feel very welcome, yet gave us enough privacy as well. The surroundings are beautiful, it is lovely and quiet, yet close enough to beautiful villages and walking tracks. The cottage is very comfortable.
The owners were friendly and welcoming, a clotted cream tea was provided on arrival. A quiet and picturesque location for a get away from it all break. Two or three local pubs offered good food at reasonable prices.(Fox & Goose, The Black Venus).
The location of the cottage was superb, wonderfully quiet and fantastic views, within walking distance of the coast path. The owners were friendly and helpful.
Very quiet secluded rural location with lovely open views across a valley. Well equipped kitchen with friendly and helpful owners in the farmhouse close by. Nice to use the wood burning fire. Good base for exploring the coastal paths around the area or Exmoor. Good value for a comfortable stay in the countryside.
We liked the view and the silence. There are nice walks on many different footpaths.
Very helpful and informative friendly owners.
We enjoyed the fabulous view over the valley and the comfortable cottage, plus the owners were so hospitable and friendly.
The view was spectacular. We had a lovely time at this nicely furnished cottage. It had everything we needed and there were nice extra touches like milk in the fridge, a loaf of bread and a cream tea on our arrival. We were offered a stair gate for our 2 year old which was a real comfort and I felt that the owners would have gone to further lengths to accommodate our wishes if we had required it. We would definitely visit this cottage again.
We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay in The Byre during September. We were lucky with the weather which, for most of the stay, was hot. The cottage is well equipped and really comfortable. A memorable week.
