Sam
We really enjoyed our stay at The Hide! The dogs absolutely loved the enclosed field - they couldn't get enough of running around and letting off steam. After that, we all relaxed in front of the cosy burner, having lazy snoozes which made for a perfect end to the day. It's a place we'd definitely return to soon. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a peaceful getaway with pets included!

We had such a lovely stay at this charming cottage. The owners were genuinely welcoming and nothing seemed too much trouble - they even left logs, foodie giftsand dog beds, which was a lovely touch. The hot tub was fantastic - spacious, cleanand warm enough for six. The secure dog paddock was a real bonus! The cosy atmosphere kept us warm during the stormy weatherand the comfy beds were perfect.

We had a lovely stay! Suzanne was really friendly and made us feel at home, especially with a thoughtful welcome pack since we arrived late. The barn was super cosyand the log burner kept us warm. The hot tub was a real treat after walking all day in the cold. Our dogs loved the beds, bowlsand treatsand the enclosed field was perfect for them. Would definitely come back!
Rachel
We really enjoyed our stay at Lower Yeoland Barn. It's such a great spot for a multi-generational family trip-everyone found something to love. The grandparents appreciated the large ensuite master for a bit of privacy, while the teenagers had a blast in the hot tub. Our dog couldn't resist chasing rabbits in the field, though never quite caught one! Suzanne was a fantastic host, making sure everything was perfect. Definitely recommend!
Jamie
We had a lovely stay thanks to Suzanne, who was always ready to help if needed-though we didn't require much assistance. The cottage was spotless, well kitted outand in a decent spot, even if we did have to navigate quite a few country lanes, probably because of a nearby road closure. It made a great base for days out at The Big Sheep, RHS Rosemoor, Exmoor Zooand Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park. Overall, a really nice break, cheers!
James
What a fantastic stay! The house is set in such a gorgeous spot, surrounded by lovely countryside-perfect for relaxing. Our dog loved the paddockand we had a great time unwinding in the hot tub, which was really well maintained. Exploring North Devon was easy, with plenty to see and do nearby. The hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful, honestly some of the best we've come across. Definitely recommend booking here if you want a chilled break. We'll be back!
