Oak Barn

The cottage was very well equipped and very comfortable and a lovely sized enclosed garden ,which our puppies loved racing around in.

We could highly recommend Keepers cottage for their food,and hospitality. Freddie made us feel very welcome in the cottage and we found it in a good situation to get to many places to visit. We had a lovely week there

Lovely holiday home in an ideal location.

Nice, good sized enclosed garden if you have pets or young ones. Couple of fans would have been good in this hot weather though!

Our 3rd visit.

We love going here and our rescue dog loves the secure large garden and walks from the door. It is immaculately clean and has everything you need. Looking forward to our next visit….so is Paddy.

We spent a lovely week at Oak Barn.

The setting is quiet, but close to major roads to visit other parts of Devon. The accommodation was spacious and the kitchen very well equipped (maybe an info sheet with local GP's, vets and appliance instructions etc. would be a good idea) Very comfortable sofa and beds. Conservatory was ideal overlooking the fully enclosed garden which was ideal for our two dogs, as was access to the bridleway outside the property. Would definitely return and recommend to friends.

A lovely cottage in quiet countryside with great walks.

Well suited for visiting Devon and Dorset coast Two tiny maintenance issues which didn't cloud our stay. If we need to go down to Devon again we would certainly try to book this again.

We loved the property - it works so well.

Our only very, very minor niggle was not having a fridge in the kitchen (hence the less smiley face). An under counter larder fridge ‘inside’ one of the cupboards or possibly in the walk-in larder would make it perfect, with the fridge freezer that is in the utility for additional use. The walk directly onto the bridle way was a boon with the dogs. We and they loved the garden too being easy access from the conservatory. Freddie and Clare were so helpful about everything making it very clear they wanted us to enjoy our stay. We will definitely be booking again. For use by Sykes: we would be happy for you to publish the above but realise our minor niggle may detract other people from booking so if you need to leave that bit out please feel free to do so as we would not want the owners to loose bookings because of it.

Oak Barn is a wonderful place to stay to get away and have a complete break.

The conservatory is lovely to sit in and the garden totally dog proof so no worries there. My daughter and I are going to miss the reclining sofa and chairs! It was just what we needed after a pretty horrendous year we are having. Good Indian and Chinese restaurants in Cullompton that deliver with instructions as no signage for barn. Honiton, Sidmouth and Lyme Regis are well worth a visit as is Rosemoor gardens, although they are not very dog friendly. They accept them on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays but they are not welcomed. Would definitely return again when we get the chance. A great base for travelling as well as relaxing with a book and shutting the world off.

Beautiful house we were welcomed by the owners could walk up the bridleway to lovely walks around the local fields.

Enclosed garden really was enclosed and wonderful to sit in the conservatory and read/paint etc when the weather was too bad to go outside.

We had a lovely stay Oak Barn is very comfortable and peaceful The dogs loved the large secure garden A washing line would of been very useful it was a shame there wasn’t one there

Lovely, lovely property.

We had the best holiday, so quiet and peaceful, the cottage itself was amazing. Very clean, and comfortable, our host left us milk in the fridge which was most welcome. Lovely walks from your front door. The conservatory was so light and comfortable it was hard not to fall asleep. We can't wait to return.

Everything was better than expected, even the weather obliged.

We met the owners who were very kind and helpful and made us and Ralph the dog feel very welcome. The area was lovely, great for walking the dog and so very peaceful. I will be certainly booking again and recommending it to my friends and relations.

Loved the cottage, used to live in the area so it was lovely to spend time there with family again.

Will go back again. I would never book through sykes again, terrible company to deal with.

A lovely place which is clearly excellent on many levels.

1. location. Beautifully located in the countryside. All green hills out of the windows etc. 2. Remarkably close and easy to access the Motorway and yet once you arrive you could never guess the motorway was so close. 3. Nice little walks around and a fab Farm shop a mile or so away with cafe too. 4. It’s equipped like your own home. Great spacious kitchen, huge dishwasher. And I think everything you’d expect. TV and HIFI are top notch. Banging WiFi. 5. Summer room/ conservatory is lovely even with just a touch of sunshine! 6. So comfortable throughout. Kind of wanted to buy a sofa like that when I got home. Room for improvement? Not much! Perhaps a sign outside that says “Oak Barn” so you know you’ve arrived?

Oak Barn was lovely, we were met by Freddy who was very welcoming.

the home was spotless, fresh flowers and milk in the fridge.plenty of space for 4 but there was just 2 of us and our 2 dogs. Would happily recommend to others to stay.

Oak Barn provided the perfect base for our Christmas break.

Quiet, cosy and grateful for the well equipped kitchen. The owner was responsive and really helpful with the couple of questions we had. Thank you for a wonderful stay, would definitely recommend.

this is the best holiday cottage we have stayed in .

your directions are appalling .not everybody has a satnav. its location is only for people who dont mind travelling to get to the coast or other towns . cullompton is a ghost town normally known as a dump

This is a fantastic place to stay.

Everything you could want and more. Great secure garden for the dog, and walks right from the front door. Spacious, clean, great beds and towels, fully equipped kitchen. Parking right outside. Owners at hand if you want them or not, nothing was a problem. Loved this place and would go back in a heartbeat.

Very nice spacious accommodation next to the owners property, enclosed garden ideal for our dog with doggy walks close by.

Very comfortable recliners in the lounge. Tea, Coffee, Sugar and Milk for our arrival was most welcomed. Lovely to meet you Freddy, Claire and Wilma. Thank you BR The Petts

Lovely place to stay , our dog loved the enclosed garden and all the lovely places to walk .

House is very well equipped , cant think of anything else you could need that is not there . Little conservatory ,lovely place for an afternoon cup of tea and a snooze . Plenty of room in the house for four , handy downstairs loo . A wonderful place to get away for peace and quiet . Would say to go careful driving out from drive onto the road , traffic can be difficult to see coming from the left . Overall would definitely recommend staying here , beautiful countryside and lots of nearby national trust places to visit .

What a wonderful place to stay for our holiday exploring north Devon and the surrounding areas.

Oak barn was a lovely cottage with really handy enclosed garden for our two furry family members. It is situated right by some bridleways which were great for walking the dogs and being situated about 5mins outside Cullompton meant easy access to the motorway and local amenities! Would recommend this cottage. Was perfect for our family (2adults, 2children and two dogs) Owner lives in adjacent house and was on hand to welcome us and give us hints and tips which was great and we were left to our own devices for rest of the stay :)

Really enjoyed our stay at Oak Barn.

I have 2 dogs & it was fantastic for them, the large garden was completely safe and enclosed. I've stayed at places before that have said the garden was enclosed but anything smaller than a great dane could get out. The cottage was spotlessly clean & had everything we needed. Freddie & his wife were really friendly & helpful without being intrusive. Would definately stay here again, the location was also perfect as we have relatives nearby.

Oak Barn was a lovely place to stay clean comfortable (very important) with friendly helpful hosts, very well equipped and a beautiful garden all safely sequired so your pet can't escape.

Lovely walks or central to the coastal towns. Loved it.

The description of the cottage was exactly as described.

The cottage was located up a private lane. It was a very beautiful,peaceful setting,with a secured dog-friendly garden. The cottage was very clean and comfortable with everything required for a lovely holiday. The hosts were very welcoming and friendly, with some nice little touches such as,milk,tea,coffee and sugar. Also supplied a variety of cleaning products eg, washing up liquid,washing machine and dishwasher tablets. Also a nice touch was the vases with fresh flowers. Overall we and our little sausage dog loved it, and cannot wait to return. Would highly recommend it.

We found the cottage relatively easily from instructions received from Sykes and the owners.

They live on site and are very approachable, but busy with their business. The location is ideal for anyone wanting to visit sea-side, country or town. Although the weather was a little changeable, it did not stop us doing anything. We have no problems passing our recommendations on to our friends. What you see on the website is true to life and far exceeded our expectations. We will consider this property again when we next visit the area. Thank you to Freddie and Clair.

Beautiful well equipped cottage in a lovely countryside setting, easy to get to M5 for Exeter, Exmouth , Sidmouth etc.

Will definitely stay again and will recommend to my friends.

A real home from home, barn is well equipped and very comfortably furnished.

Location was very quiet with good walks from the doorstep and many walks a short drive away. Local shops and really fab farm shop which had a lovely cafe attached. Owners were lovely and friendly, on hand for any questions, but not intrusive. We had a lovely week recharging our batteries and hope to return. Thank you Claire and Freddy for your hospitality.

A wonderful warm welcome from Freddie.

The cottage was spacious, very comfortable and in a great location. Outstanding in every respect. Thank you

A lovely spacious holiday cottage set in a very quiet area.

Good walks from the house and a large secure garden for our labrador to exercise in. Freddy very welcoming, cottage very well equipped with a lovely conservatory to sit in and enjoy the sunshine.

What a wonderful cottage with quality amenities and cleaning products all by hand!

The owner is very nice and relaxed and the owner entire estate/ property is very well kept and offers wonderful walks. Nicely secluded property yet close to motorway amd huge Tesco. Highly recommended !!

Very comfortable cottage.

Everything there that you could need, and handily placed for touring East Devon and West Dorset. Friendly owner, nice dog walk outside and good quality furniture inside. Shame about the terrible weather, but having such a comfortable cottage to come back to each day more than compensated. Would recommend this venue.

Superb property - myself, my wife, dog and 92 yr old mum had a most enjoyable time.

A well equipped comfortable cottage, also really dog friendly with totally secure garden. Will definitely look to coming back. Thank you Freddie

My husband and I had a lovely comfortable week staying in Oak Barn.

Our two Yorkshire Terriers enjoyed the safety of the enclosed garden and the humans enjoyed the comfortable reclining sofas, cosy bed with luxurious bedding and soft fluffy towels. Our hosts, Freddy and Clare were friendly and accommodating and any minor issues were quickly sorted out. Great food at the two local dog friendly pubs. We would happily stay again.
