“Beautiful home in a beautiful location.”

We were over the moon we could stay here at such short notice!

We were over the moon we could stay here at such short notice!

- Miss Mills, September 2020
“Amazing spacious barn in countryside setting, would Highly recommend.”

The only downside was in the height of summer it can get very hot in lounge/kitchen area as little insulation in barn roof.

- Mrs Gould, August 2020
“One critique - floors were slippery, especially noticeable on the stairs.”

- Mrs Granger, July 2020
“Gorgeous home from home”

This place is a home from home. Perfect location for exploring the area and so cosy and warm to come back to after a day out. We didn't need to use the fire as the place is warm enough. Place is in a quiet location so you don't hear any traffic noise. The owners of the barn greeted us and lived in the farmhouse next to the barn if you had any issues. Would love to come again

“We had a fantastic two week holiday at Yondhill barn.”

It had everything we needed, it was clean, finished to a high standard and the hosts were very helpful if needed. The barn is also very child friendly which was perfect for our little 3. And there is a lovely pub at the end of the driveway :D Thank you both for a memorable family holiday.

- Mrs Whitmore, October 2019
“This was a lovely barn, it was very comfortable and had everything we needed.”

The owners were very welcoming and helpful. There is also a pub 2 minutes walk away where we had a very good meal. We would definitely recommend it

“Absolutely perfect country-vacation property!!”

I have stayed in any number of rental properties while visiting various locations in the UK (some better than others). I will say that this property was absolutely perfect....and I don't say that lightly. The interior is stylish, totally updated, perfectly clean, and wonderfully functional. The kitchen was stocked with every pot, pan, and implement you would need to make a full meal. And it included a French Press for your coffee. Be certain to take a tour of the local countryside, as it is amazingly beautiful!! Local pub just up the lane if you want a break from cooking but don't want to drive.

“It's a fantastic barn a really lovely conversation with lots of character.”

It has good facilities including great showers. Location is good for getting out and about . I would recommend some form of signage on the little lane that leads to the barn as it was difficult to find first time. The owner is very welcoming and helpful and was very quick to arrange repair of the TV which had no reception due to an issue with the outside cables. We had a lovely week and would highly recommend this barn for anyone looking for a place in the area

- Mrs George, July 2019
“The cottage was ideal for us as it was fairly central in North Devon It gave us easy access to the moors for our walking plus the North coast also was easy to get to .”

This cottage was first class and we were more than pleased with our stay .

- Mr Mountford, April 2019
“We had a lovely week long family holiday at Yonhill Barn.”

The hosts made us feel very welcome and were quick to install a baby gate for our little boy. The Barn is in a stunning place to stay, surrounded by the beautiful countryside with plenty of activities to take part in nearby. We would love to stay here again in the future.

The property was fantastic, comfortable, clean and a home from home, it was situated about 90 mins each way to north and south beaches

“This was our second visit to yondhill barn.”

The first time was two years ago when the new owners Adrian and Darrell took ownership. I can honestly say this experience was just has good. The barn was super clean with nothing out of place. The kitchen is fully equipped for a good size family or group of friends. Two of the bedrooms had double beds with the family bedroom now having a double bed plus two single beds. We found all the beds very comfortable and the sheets clean and fresh. All the bathrooms very clean and modern with very good water pressure for the showers. During our stay we didnot light the log burner, due to the barn being very warm with just the heating on,which was nice. The barn is 5 to 10 minute walk from the new inn pub that served good pub food. (Tip if you want Sunday lunch you would be advised to book in advance) This barn does not have a wet/dog room. Our dog one day got really muddy so we washed her outside in the rain with a bucket then dried her with a hair dryer. It was worth doing, so that the barn does not get marked or damaged which is a good thing. The barn does have a DVD player but is not blue ray, so don't do like we did and bring blue ray and then find they don't work ha ha. Over all this is a great place to stay with great and warm owners. I would recommend this place to anyone and I am sure we will be back for our third visit very soon.

“We found the stairs going down to the bedrooms were on the slippery side as our daughter did fall down them, I think they could do some grip on them.”

This is no detriment to the cottage but we feel you needed to know this.

- Mrs Bowden, October 2018
“Excellent very modern conversion in lovely surroundings”

Once you'd found it (satnav took us to the next village!) it was hard to find fault with this beautifully converted barn with superb accommodation and all mods cons. - including wifi for the children! It had everything you could wish for, with a very well equipped kitchen and laundry facilities. The only small criticism is that there's only comfortable lounge seating for six - any more would have to use the hard kitchen chairs - or the floor.

- SuffolkCameraman, September 2018
“Heel sfeervolle en goed uitgeruste woning in een landelijke omgeving.”

Goede uitvalsbasis om veel dingen te bezoeken : de stad Exeter (kathedraal en oude huisjes), mooie, verrassende kusten ten noorden en ten zuiden, Jurassic Coast (zoeken naar fossielen), Lydford gorge (kloof met waterval), Dartmoor en Exmoor National Parks (pony's en schapen), vele natuurwandelingen, lekker uit eten. Het huis was tiptop in orde : mooie vernieuwde inrichting, heel netjes, goed uitgeruste keuken, 3 slaapkamers met elk aangrenzende moderne badkamer. We vonden het een schitterende week!

“Amazing”

Beautiful property in scenic grounds. Everything you could ever want and a definite home from home. Could someone please tell me which mattress is on the upstairs bed as I have never had such a good sleep?! Beautiful!

About the location

SAMPFORD COURTENAY

Okehampton 2.5 miles.

Midway between Sampford Courtenay, a sleepy but picturesque Devon village, and Okehampton, a thriving community known as ‘the gateway to the moor’. The whole area is a country lover’s dream. The high tors of northern Dartmoor dominate the scenery and provide a splendid backdrop to Okehampton nestling in a valley where tumbling moorland rivers join before heading to the sea. For miles around, the area is famous for its country pubs that between them provide welcome rest after a day exploring the paths, cycle ways and stunning countryside. On a clear day the view from the top of High Willhays (the highest point south of the Pennines) will take your breath away. Country pursuits and crafts are a way of life and a trip to the Dartmoor Visitor Centre and country museum in Okehampton are musts. Look also at the pretty moorland villages of Chagford, Belstone and Sticklepath to savour a way of life that’s becoming increasingly rare.
