“Considering the times we are in with Covid at present we think everything was very good and very well organised.”

- Mrs Crouchman, September 2020
“We had a realy relaxing time, so peaceful , the cottage is lovely just what we neaded, Boycombe Barn is quite a amazing house, with lovely walks around the grounds.”

The owners and helpers are welcoming and helpful but leave you to enjoy your stay. We are in our 80 's so found the roads a bit of a challenge but what you would expect so out of the way, and we did get lost a few times, but very happy days , plus very good pubs close by and supermarket . Just one great holiday.

- Mrs Carruel, September 2020
“A perfect little place to stay, so comfortable and quiet, a very relaxing place to be.”

Thank you

- Mrs Kossowicz, July 2020
“First time we had holidayed in a self catering cottage, and we were not disappointed!”

A beautiful, clean, fully equipped cottage and comfy bed. Fabulous surroundings very peaceful, yet easily accessible to the coast. Charming hosts made very welcome. Hopefully we will return!

“Photos don't do it justice- lovely stay”

A very comfy, away from it all cottage with quality fabrics and furnishing, huge comfy bed and choice of pillows. Wonderful views on all sides with sheep, alpacas and a horse. Horsey theme throughout and well equipped. Log fire ( plenty of logs in the lean to next door) makes it cosy but can't be turned down ! Very compact kitchen only 66cm ? wide but had all you needed and workable. Beautiful stained glass window between kitchen and hall. Photos do not do it justice and can not show the feeling of tranquility and peace around the area. Very, very quiet except for owls and sheep. The owners are delightful and on hand should you need them. Was not used to the smart meter stressing us out about reaching budgets (puzzling when you had been out all day) however electricity is included so not a problem. In conclusion a perfect cottage in a convenient location for Exetor (park and ride easy), the coastal villages and many walks. Be prepared for many uneven single track roads which are challenging in wet weather. We were there in February during the storms but felt safe and warm.

“Beautiful comfy,converted barn, frontage deceptive for size.”

Quality fabrics and furnishings throughout and a huge comfy bed with a choice of pillows. Bath and shower available with a radiator and heated towel rail, seemed to be plenty of hot water when we needed it. Loved the sheep, alpacas and horse. Horsey theme throughout and well equipped, lovely high beamed ceiling in the main room. Log fire ( plenty of wood in lean to next door) makes it cosy quickly but can't be turned down! Very compact kitchen,only 66cm wide? but had all you needed and workable. Stained glass window between kitchen and hallway. The photos do not do it justice and can not show all the fabulous views and the feeling of peace and tranquility around the area, very, very quiet except for owls and sheep ! The owners are delightful and on hand if needed. Was not used to a smart meter, stressing you out about nearing budgets (puzzling when you had been out all day) but electricity was included in the price so not a problem. Well located for Exetor and coastal villages, some only 15/20 mins away, but be prepared for many uneven single track roads which are challenging in wet weather. We were there in February during a stormy period but felt warm and safe. Weather forecast is not reliable and despite showing heavy rain all week we had windy but bright dry weather mostly during the day so were able to visit many of the interesting places within an hours drive. A very enjoyable out of season, away from it all holiday.

- Mrs Cieply, February 2020

The owners are very friendly and helpful

- Mrs Tuttiett, September 2019
“This is a lovely cottage for 2 in a beautiful peaceful location but no more than 30 minutes from the East Devon coast and the park and ride into Exeter.”

- Mrs Flynn, September 2019
“We thought Boycombe Barn was very comfortable and well equipped.”

Lovely quiet location, beautiful countryside. The owners were very welcoming.

- Mrs Attwood, September 2019
“Charming cottage and everything you would need for kitchen and dining.”

Very much off the beaten track, but if you don't mind that, a perfect choice for two people.

- Mrs Read, August 2019
“Just amazing the owners were superb .”

Great setting

- Mr Hayes, July 2019

- Mrs Cave, June 2019
“The cottage is lovely, everything you need for a peaceful holidayThe owners are very welcoming and always available but not at all intrusive.”

The cottage is well located for visiting the attractions in the area. Would we recommend Boycombe ? Certainly. Would we return ? Definitely:-) Thank you.

- Mr Hayes, May 2019
“A wonderfully quiet location.”

Lovely hosts who made us feel very welcome.

- Mrs Thomson, November 2018
“Boycombe barn is a beautiful little cottage set in stunning countryside.”

The barn conversion is excellent quality and has everything you need for a couple to relax and enjoy some time away from it all. The owners are very friendly and the cottage itself is very private with great views. Honiton is only a ten minute drive away with everything you need and the coast is only 20 minutes away. We loved it and would definitely return.

- Mr Marriott, October 2018
“Brilliant”

Beautiful place to stay everything was perfect, the cottage was first class nice comfy and cosy. The owners were their to greet us and because they had finished getting the cottage ready early we were allowed in early which was a bonus. It was lovely to be able to go and just watch the horses and stroke them once they were brought in for the night and also watch the chickens just roam around they also have a turkey ( No he is not for xmas I already asked that question and neither are the chickens ) it's just so-funny watching this turkey wonder around he is tiny and I honestly thought he was already for the oven due to lack of feathers. Lots of places to visit each day sidmouth seaton exmouth otter st Mary are all well worth a visit. Just make sure you follow the owners directions to the cottage it's far easier to reach than the standard directions.

“Tranquil rural retreat”

Boycombe barn offers a wonderful 'get away from it all' location. A cosy welcoming detached barn conversion with vaulted ceilings and woodburner and views of the Grade II listed manor house opposite and across fields to streams. Our hosts looked after us very well, providing eggs laid by their hens (who also came to visit us!) and plenty of wood for the fire. We enjoyed meeting the alpacas and watching the horses in the yard. Although located in a secluded valley Boycombe barn is also only a short drive from the wonderful East Devon coast and other places of interests. It is close to the East Devon Way and there are many wonderful walks you can enjoy on your doorstep.
