This was the second time that we had rented the same property through Sykes, so we knew what to expect and our expectations were met

“A beautiful house in a beautiful setting.”

Lovely friendly owners. Lots to do in the area.

- Mrs Coates, August 2019
“There is a single track road to the property which may not suit some drivers and perhaps this should be advised.”

- Mrs Scarrott, June 2019
“An excellent house in a lovely location.”

Vanessa was very helpful and the "welcome" pack was a real treat.

- Mr Rospopa, June 2019
“The Barn is very well equiped.”

The hostess has made a clear document with all kind of good suggestions of walking routes, bars, pubs, restaurants, city trips, interesting places. We will definitely book the Barn again if we might visit Devon in the future. Thanks a lot

- Mr Mosterd, June 2019
“What a lovely barn in a beautiful setting!”

We were made to feel very welcome by the owner Vanessa when we arrived and really appreciated the hamper of goodies we found in the kitchen (wine, crisps, cake, coffee and tea) and the large vase of fresh flowers. There was also milk in the fridge so we could have a cuppa after our journey. The Barn was very spacious, clean and comfortable and our 5 year old couldn't get over the 'upside down' layout with the kitchen and lounge upstairs! This totally makes sense when you see the views from the front of the house! There was everything you could need in The Barn with a well equipped kitchen (including dishwasher, washing machine and tumble drier), books/DVDs for adults and children, some toys for toddler ager kids and shower gel/soap in each bathroom. There are a number of lovely walks directly from the property and you are so close great areas to explore in Devon, coastal and in the Moor. We had a lovely time at The Barn which was topped off with an Easter egg for our little boy!! A highly recommended place to stay.

- Mr Elwin, April 2019
“The Barn is in a beautiful setting with lovely views.”

It is equipped with everything you could need in every room. The bed was very comfortable meaning a great nghts sleep. The Barn is situated close to Dartmoor, Exeter and Plymouth. Good places to eat nearby. We had a great time, very relaxing and will definitely return. The welcome hamper on our arrival was an unexpected treat.

- Mr Bagg, March 2019
“This was a lovely holiday.”

Having booked cottages through Helpful Holidays before, we expected everything to go smoothly and without any problems and as usual it all went like clockwork. The Cottage was beautiful, really comfortable and cosy, proving to be the perfect base for a great holiday. Vanessa and Malcolm were the perfect hosts, with the welcome hamper, especially the blueberry cake, proving very welcome. And yes, we wouldn't hesitate to go back to the Barn, or to book a holiday through Helpful Holidays again. Thank you for a wonderful mid winter break.

- Mr Mather, February 2019
“We were at the barn for Christmas with our two girls and their aunt and uncle.”

We loved the house and location - with practical distances to Exeter, Plymouth and Dartmoor as well as Chudleigh conveniences. Our hosts unexpectedly decorated the house with tree and tasteful festive decorations and made every effort to ensure we enjoyed our stay without intruding. On Christmas Eve our 4 year old turned to her three year old sister and said “isn’t life magical?”, “yes it is magic” she replied. Would recommend the barn and helpful holidays to anyone.

- Mr Sullivan, December 2018
“Lovely host, lovely views, lovely holiday!”

- Dr Spaulding, October 2018
“It was our second stay at The Barn, so we knew what we were in for.”

however, the owners exceeded our expectations by leaving a lovely humper for us which was not expected at all. we love this house so much we have already booked our next stay at The Barn!! The kids are in love with the house, the place, the countryside and what it has to offer, and so are we adults. thank you!!

- Mr Greenslade, October 2018
“The Barn was lovely.”

As was Vanessa. A very friendly and welcoming host. The grocery basket was very much appreciated. The lads especially enjoyed the blueberry cake.......... :-)

- Mrs Gallagher, August 2018

- Mr Walker, July 2018
“This is the second time we have stayed at the Barn and it is great to return to a cottage where quality has been maintained .”

The family are lovely - the right mixture of begin available and leaving us to ourselves. The welcome hamper and the super cake were much appreciated. Thanks for a great base for our holiday. We shall be back.

- Mrs Hamill, June 2018
