    “Generally a very nice and well appointed property.”

    We enjoyed our stay. However, there were no hangars for clothes, and not all bedrooms had wardrobes. We ran out of toilet paper and there was little consumable materials like wash ups, or washing up liquid etc, which we have come to expect in this range of accommodation. A minor issue that had minimal impact though. However, the real issue for us that warranted only 3 stars, was the 1.5 miles of very narrow, high banked access road, with almost no viable passing bays; requiring vehicles to ...

    We enjoyed our stay. However, there were no hangars for clothes, and not all bedrooms had wardrobes. We ran out of toilet paper and there was little consumable materials like wash ups, or washing up liquid etc, which we have come to expect in this range of accommodation. A minor issue that had minimal impact though. However, the real issue for us that warranted only 3 stars, was the 1.5 miles of very narrow, high banked access road, with almost no viable passing bays; requiring vehicles to reverse for up to several hundred meters, when meeting on coming vehicles, was very harrowing. We hired a 9 seater van for our trip and had to reverse several times, which made going out or returning something to worry about. This info should be available to potential renters at the booking stage. We would have booked elsewhere for this reason.

    Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback following your recent stay. We're really pleased to hear that you found the property well-appointed and enjoyed your time there. We're sorry to hear about the issues you encountered. There are wardrobes in three out of four of the bedrooms, as well as plenty of storage space for clothes. Hangers are provided and we will ask the housekeeper to check if some have gone missing. Whilst an initial supply of most essential consumables are provided at the start of each stay to help get you off to a comfortable start, please keep in mind that this is a self catering property and you will need to provide your own beyond this. Regarding the access road, we understand how challenging it must have been, especially with a larger vehicle. The high banked access road is a public road with passing places and there is a 1km long concrete track to the property, with one passing place which means that on rare occasion, reversing will be necessary - though this is of course something to be expected at times in almost all rural parts of Devon! We will, however, make future guests aware of the challenges regarding the access track. On the plus side, the long track guarantees a peaceful retreat away from busy roads! From the Helpful Holidays Team. Property Owner

The property

The Tithe Barn is a lovely barn conversion located in the Devon countryside on the outskirts of South Molton.

This vacation home is ideal for groups of friends and families since it seamlessly combines contemporary design with rural elements.

It also has light-filled rooms, a woodburning stove, and other amenities.

This pet-friendly property has plenty of off-street parking and slate steps that descend inside.

The kitchen/diner has shaker-style cabinets and all the equipment you need to make hearty meals that can be shared at the table.

After a day of exploration, guests can relax in the roomy sitting area, which has three soft sofas and a Glass Sky TV.

French doors open to the delightful garden area, where you can enjoy a glass of wine while your pets take a walk on warm evenings.

Retire indoors as the night draws to a close, then find the bathroom for a relaxing soak in the tub or a quick freshen up in the shower.

Two bedrooms are located on the ground floor (1 x double and one king-size), while a king-size with an en-suite bathroom and a twin bedroom with an en-suite bathroom are located on the first floor.

Each bedroom has a neutral colour scheme and complementary furniture to store your possessions.

An ancient market town in Devon's county seat with picturesque scenery all around it is South Molton.

It's the ideal location to experience the typical English countryside, and Quince Honey Farm is located in the town for a charming lunch.

Take use of the nearby Exmoor National Park, where you can picnic with a view and explore the wide moorland on foot or by bike.

Rosemoor Gardens can be found in Great Torrington or visit the charming harbour town of Ilfracombe, where you can stroll around and take in the sea air.

History aficionados may also see the historic Watermouth Castle.

The Tithe Barn is a great option for a much-needed getaway to Devon.
