Shearing Shed Reviews

Emma J.
We loved our stay! The beds were super comfy and the hosts provided a cot and a next-to-me crib for our 5-month-old, which was great. The rooms were spacious with excellent bathrooms and all the facilities we needed. The hot tub was a real highlight for everyone. Coombe Martin nearby was stunning, plus there's a handy Co-op supermarket. We also enjoyed visiting the Wildlife and Dinosaur Park close to the house. It was a perfect family getawayand we'd definitely come back!
Chris
We had a fantastic time at the Shearing Shed! The location is spot on for exploring local attractions and beachesand the cottage itself had everything we needed - plus some extras. We loved the hot tub, which we used daily. It's such a spacious place, perfect for our family of four adults and two kids. Our eldest grandson's 8th birthday was special; Sam and Rose went above and beyond by sending a card and gifts. Really thoughtful hosts!
Emma
The location is stunning and the grounds are perfect for dogs, who really enjoyed exploring. All amenities worked welland the thoughtful touches like treats and blankets made our stay special. We'll be back!
Emily
We stayed at this charming cottage during a particularly rainy week in Devon and it was a real lifesaver. The place is beautifully decorated and super spacious, perfect for relaxing. The hot tub was a lovely touch after a long dayand the animals in the field kept our dogs entertained all week. Ilfracombe is great for fish and chips, especially in winter. Overall, a peaceful spot with minimal noise, especially when the windows are closed. Definitely recommend!

It's our second time here and honestly, we loved it just as much as the first. The Halloween decorations really added a cosy vibe, making it feel extra special. We're already planning to return again soon!
Emily Carter
We just finished a week at the Shearing Shed and honestly, it was fantastic! The place is so spacious and spotless, with a lovely big garden that's kept really nicely. It truly felt like a home away from home. The welcome hamper, along with the dogs' beds and blankets, was a lovely touch. The hot tub was just what we needed after a day out exploring. Samantha and Mel were brilliant hosts, making sure everything was perfect. We had a great time and would definitely tell our friends and family about it!
James
Really appreciated the friendly service and comfy stay, definitely coming back soon!
