The place is really special, set in its own little 60-acre valley - quite a find! There’s a real touch of luxury everywhere, from chilled bottles of fizz in the fridge to soft, quality linens. The layout’s perfect for family holidays with different staircases for upstairs rooms and a downstairs bedroom. Kids loved the outdoor gamesand the gamesroom, hot tuband swimming lake kept everyone entertained for ages. Honestly, we didn’t want to leave! Definitely a place to return to.
Emma Carter
We had such a lovely week here as a large family. The way the indoor and outdoor areas flow together really makes it special, especially with that stunning view from the terrace. The kids, aged 9, 9and 12, had a blast paddleboarding at the lake every day and enjoyed the games room immensely. We also took a walk up to the stag sculpture, relaxed in the hot tuband even spotted a kingfisher at the lake. Honestly, it was hard to top that week!
Emily
We had such a lovely stay at The Lazy Sheep Barn! The setting is simply stunning, with rolling hills and a gorgeous lake nearby. The house is really well equipped-plenty of crockery, super comfy bedsand lush bedding. We appreciated the little touches like dog bowls, towelsand the outdoor cushions. The fire pit was perfect for chilly evenings. Plus, the welcome champagne and white port in every room showed how much Hayley and Charlie care. Honestly, it’s a little gem!
Emma
Honestly, this place is fantastic. It’s pretty hard to find somewhere that ticks all the boxes, but this property does. The location is stunning, with loads of outdoor space all to ourselves - we loved the view of the stag on the hill! Inside, it’s super stylishand we wondered if interior designers had a hand in it or if the owners just have a great eye. The hot tub and games room were a hit, plus there’s ample seating indoors and out. The welcome drinks were a sweet touch too. We’d definitely come back!

Jane Roberts
We recently stayed here for a week with a group of friends in our 60sand honestly, it was great. The house itself was really comfortableand we loved making the most of the hot tub and games room. The kitchen was super well-equipped, with two full-length fridges and a separate freezer in the utility - plenty of mugs, platesand bowls. A few of us even dipped into the lake, though not for too long! Plus, the village of Dreadfulverton is just a short driveand day trips to Dunster Castle, Knighthayesand Sidmouth made the trip even better. We had a brilliant time!
Emma
From the moment we arrived, Hayley made us feel right at home, guiding us around without being pushy. The house itself is stunning, plenty of space for everyone, with cosy spots inside and out. We were lucky with the weatherand the lake views, along with the fields, really made our stay special - especially for the dogs. If you're considering a family getaway, definitely go for it. It’s a real gem!
