Owls Barn Reviews

Debra

Beautiful cottage and good location. Near to Tesco and coastal towns. The upstairs suite was beautiful but not accessible to all as narrow metal spiral staircase. Lovely large beds, very comfortable. Unfortunately the weather was terrible the whole week we were there, high winds and rain so we werent able to use the hottub at all.It was hard work wRead moreith dogs to keep them out of the carpeted lounge. A wider temporary gate for the kitchen door would have be helpful.Better summer holiday property Hide

Bryn

Owls Barn is a lovely cottage. Very high quality bathrooms, and the kitchen is excellent. Was really impressed with the welcome pack, which we were not expecting. The living room is spacious with comfy sofas and a lovely hanging egg chair. TVs in all bedrooms were a real bonus too. The location is superb, within a few minutes of Ilfracombe, and wooRead morelacombe. Also some lovely pubs that provide food. Hide

Josh

It was perfect in every way. The cottage was very well kept, clean, tidy & well equipped. The beds were very comfortable & the cottage in general was too. The hosts were incredibly hospitable & helpful and easy to contact if required. The hot tub was fantastic with amazing views of the fields opposite. We will 100% be coming back!

Susan

A beautiful house in a beautiful setting, everything you could need and very dog safe garden.

Helen

What a wonderful place to stay, the barn was exceptionally clean, lovely bed linen, well equipped kitchen, lovely garden and views, safe for our two sogs. BBQ was great, fantastic location close to all the beaches, we would definitely return. Highly recommend a stay here

Hannah

We have just stayed here for a week with our two young children, my parents and their 3 dogs and it really was perfect. Hot tub a fantastic addition to help wind down in the evenings! The cottage was so clean on arrival and beds were very comfortable. Our toddler loved being able to go on the swing every day and run around the garden with the dogs. We cant wait to come back next year!

Richard

Lovely cottage, very clean and comfortable. Will stay again.

Viki

We absolutely loved our stay at Owl Barn. The location is perfect to get around to all the local attractions, there are great take aways and restaurants near by and the views are beautiful. All 3 dogs settled in immediately (usually takes them a day or two!), and we all felt at home straight away. Lovely touch of scones, cake and soft bubbly on arr ival. The entire house was very clean and well presented. Ive already recommended it to friends and we will definitely stay again!

Nadine

Pristine cottage. The place was spotless. The facilities were perfect, hot tub, gorgeous big garden with swings...and the views, I didn't realise you got a sea view until we got there! The location was just perfect, Ilfracombe and Woolacombe just 10 minute drives. One highlight was the horses, which came to visit over the fence in the garden one ev ening and stayed for lots of strokes! The stay exceeded our expectations, and we would definitely come back to stay again.

Owls Cottage is lovely. With a good size enclosed garden with the sea in the distance a peaceful rural location but close to so many beaches. Beautifully presented and a super welcome of cream scones and bucksfizz. The jacuzzi was welcome after a days walking and the cottage had everything we needed being very well equipped. We loved our week and w ould definitely recommend.

Ann

Just came back from this gorgeous Holiday Cottage Owls Barn Ilfracombe The place is immaculate and so spacious the wildlife is very calming. The cottage is exactly as advertised and the owners are on hand if you need them. The hot tub was a bonus, the cottage has lots of gorgeous features inside and the outside space is so pretty, room for private parking. Quad biking nearby loved watching them go up the sheep hill. The horses came to say hello every day.

Mark

Stayed here for a week (Feb half term) . 2 adults , 2 kids and a dog. Great spacious property, with a large enclosed garden. Everything you need is provided Decent sized television in the lounge and hot tub a bonus Nice views to sea, and to Wales beyond. Feels like you are in the middle of nowhere ( a bonus) , but you are only 5 mins away from a su permarket and a few more minutes to the centre of Ilfracombe. Quad bike track nearby, but didnt bother us as we liked watching them.

Sarah

A wonderful weeks stay at Owls Barn with toddler, twin babies and 3 dogs. The barn was very clean, well equipped with a lot of thought put into it. We never worried about little hands reaching things. Lovely touches from the owners on arrival. Secure Garden and utility room was fantastic for the dogs. Great location with many nice beaches within ea sy reach. Would recommend Note- Keypitts backs on to the garden, we personally enjoyed watching the quads and having livestock behind the fence.

Ian

We had a lovely week in late Oct/early November. Cottage was clean and tidy. Generally well equipped. Just lacked a few essentials (e.g cloths for wiping sides/washing up). Easy drives to the amazing beaches - Woolacombe, Staunton Sands and Croyde. Surfed at Staunton with Surf Staunton and would recommend. Hot tub a bonus.

Stephanie

Beautiful clean cottage within a short driving distance from shops and beaches. The garden was stunning for the dogs to run around and lovely and secure. The hot tub looks onto beautiful views of the sheep and horses in the fields. The kitchen is well equipped and the showers were extremely powerful and hot which was a huge bonus. The cottage was l ovely and warm with easy adjustable heating. The owners were on hand with any additional requirements we needed and super friendly. Loved the stay.

Came back this year. Had a lovely holiday. We love Owls barn. Weather was great. Owners left us milk scones jam and clotted cream. Tea coffee sugar also available. Very clean and comfortable.

Geoff

The property and location made for a perfect holiday. We all had a really nice time.

Mandy

I cant say anything negative about this property. The owners have thought of everything you could possibly need and everything was spotlessly clean!! As I previously mentioned about everything you could need there was even a hot water bottle that was a blessing as we had to use it, due to someone not feeling very well. There was a total of 8 people and our dog staying at Owls barn. Our 2 grandchildren that are both aged 2 years old had a wonderful time running around and enjoying the hot tub.

Katie

We had the best stay! Very dog friendly! We would stay again

5 adults & 1 dog for a week at Owl Barn, perfect! A lovely welcome treat on arrival made a great start. The property is finished to a very high standard, with great detail to the additional touches.
