Emily

We had a really lovely time! Shirley and Mike are such warm hosts, making us feel right at home from the start. Our kids, aged 4 and 8, were thrilled to get involved in feeding the lambs and loved exploring the farm animals and play area. The hot tub was a real treat after long days out. The barn had everything we neededand the peaceful rural setting was perfect for relaxing. Plus, plenty of beaches were within an hour's drive, which was great. Thanks for a wonderful stay-we'll definitely be coming back!

Emma

The cottage was super comfy and felt really homely, with all the essentials. The owners were lovely, leaving us a lovely welcome basket. We enjoyed meeting the dogs and chickens too. Honestly, we wish we'd stayed longer-next time, definitely more nights!

Emma Parker

We stayed here in October and honestly, it was such a lovely experience. The barn felt super cosy and spotless, with everything we needed for a comfortable break. The hot tub was ready when we arrived, which was perfect after a long journey. Shirley greeted us warmly and made us feel right at home, plus the homemade scones in the welcome pack were a lovely surprise. Our kids loved feeding the farm animals with Mike, who was fantastic. Just a heads up-if you're exploring around the area, be prepared for some small farm roads! Would definitely recommend.

Charlotte

We had such a lovely stay here! The peaceful vibe really helped us unwindand by the end of the week, we felt so much more relaxed. Our little one adored the play area and feeding the farm animals - she was thrilled! The hot tub was perfect for the grown-ups to kick back after busy days. The accommodation was spot on, super comfyand well stocked. Listening to the sheep, ducksand birds every morning was such a treat. The hosts and their adorable dogs were really welcoming too. We'd definitely love to come back!

Rosey

A lovely rural barn conversion that we discovered after driving down some tiny lanes in Devon. This charming old building offers a really comfy holiday retreat. You're surrounded by the sounds of the countryside - cows mooing, sheep bleatingand cockerels crowing (not so fun at 4 in the morning!!), plus the chatter of various little birds. Mike and Shirley are the most kind hosts, always up for a chat about the farm and eager to show you some of the animals. Our grandson says he'll miss Apollo and Annie, the ponies!

Avie

We spent some time at this lovely barn with our daughter and the two little grandkids. It was just right, safe for them to roam around both inside and outsideand super comfy! Waking up to nothing but the sounds of animals and birds was wonderfuland the hot tub was the perfect way to unwind after some busy days out. The location is quite rural, which we adore, yet you can easily reach most attractions, the moorland or the coast in less than an hour. Shirley, Mike Cox and family, along with the locals, were all so welcoming and helpful. We highly recommend it!

Rachael

What can we say? This holiday cottage absolutely exceeded all our expectations! Shirley and Mike were incredibly welcoming and always went out of their way to ensure we felt comfortable and happy. We really couldn't thank them enough. Those welcome scones were deliciousand the hot tub was a total godsend! Our kids were in their element and adored the animals, especially Millie and Fern, the farm dogs. If you're a fan of the countryside, you'll love it here!

Faye

This place feels like the most wonderful home from home! We're definitely going to return. It was so educational for both the kids and us adults to see how a working farm operates. Shirley and Mike are just so welcomingand those fresh scones were absolutely delicious. The house is so well equipped that it really has everything you could think of! We're quite sad to be back home and honestly wish we had booked for longer.

Sandee

The owners and their family were absolutely lovely people who really went the extra mile to include our son on the farm. We would totally recommend this place! The hot tub was a nice extraand we felt so relaxed and chilled. We can't wait to come back again!

Sandy

The barn was absolutely beautiful, so clean and equipped with everything we needed, plus it felt so peaceful and just wonderful. It was really comfortable, the water was piping hotand all the amenities were right at hand. The hot tub was a fantastic treat! The owners were lovely.

Robbie

What a fantastic place to stay! The owners were incredibly welcomingand those freshly baked scones were a lovely touch. We enjoyed a truly relaxing and peaceful week in such a beautiful and secluded spot. It was brilliant how the owners included the kids in the farm feeding routine. This experience was something special for them, giving them memories to cherish forever!

Nicola

Amazing! Our kids absolutely loved their time on the working farm. They had such a blast with all the animals. Mike and Shirley are fantastic hostsand they really connected with the kids, letting them feed the animals and enjoy tractor rides!

Suzie

We had a lovely time at the barn! It was clean and so comfortable. The warm scones we got on arrival were a great touch, along with the complimentary ciders. The kids absolutely loved the animalsand the farmer and his wife were so patient and helpful. Thankyou for a wonderful holiday, we really didn't want to come home!

Gabe

We had a lovely week at the 1450 Barn in late May with our two kids, aged 3 and a pre-toddler. The location is such a nice working farmand the host family is so welcoming and friendly. It really felt like a peaceful oasis among all the farm activity. The enclosed garden is perfect for the kidsand the hot tub is just so relaxing. The acommodation had everything we needed for our family. There are amazing beaches and fun outings all within a 30 to 60-minute drive. We're already looking forward to our next visit!

Mani

What a perfect getaway for a bit of peace and tranquillity in the countryside! The Cox family were fantastic hosts, offering such warm hospitality. This barn was lovely, cosyand really well-equipped. We enjoyed seeing all the farm animals too. The kids had a wonderful time here!

Jonny

What a fantastic spot! We felt so welcomed by the owners right from the start. The location is just perfect for exploring Dartmoor and both coasts, north and south. Just brilliant!

Vivi

What a lovely cosy place to stay! The cottage was immaculate and super comfortable. The owners were really welcoming and had left us a cream tea along with other goodies. Millie the dog was a delightful daily visitor. The weather was a bit variable but that didn't spoil our enjoyment at alland we even managed a couple of dips in the hot tub. We'd definitely suggest the Duke of York and the New Inn for a good meal out. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this cottage and look forward to returning one day.
