Devon Cottages with Hot Tubs

What our customers say about their holidays

  This is a fantastic place to stay and I can’t recommend it enough.

  Quantock Barn is exactly as you see in the pictures - the property is huge and we loved the well-equipped open-plan kitchen and lounge area. Having all en-suite bedrooms was a lovely addition and is generally a rare find with holiday lets. Everywhere was very clean and really nicely decorated. On arrival we’d been left welcome treats of cheese, milk, fresh bread, egg and biscuits which was a really nice touch. We also enjoyed the luxury of a hot tub and loved having the four goats in the paddock opposite (they were there sporadically and were surprisingly quiet so no worries of being disturbed!) We accidentally broke a wine glass while we were there, which I reported and apologised for and Izzy (the owner) was round the next day with a replacement. She also checked the hot tub was ready to use and was generally very welcoming and friendly. The barn is secluded and peaceful, but well placed for trips to the countryside and the coast (we travelled to Sidmouth and Lyme Regis and Branscombe during our stay). All in all, a real standout place to stay.

  This is a wonderful bungalow which is very modern inside.

  The views from the raised terrace are really lovely, great to wake up to in a morning. We also loved using the hot tub after days out exploring. We chose to park in front of the bungalow itself but there is also parking in front of the garage at the back. The garden is enclosed, even for our small dog, which was good. The kitchen is well equipped. A slow cooker might be a nice addition. Plenty of towels were supplied, with separate ones to be used for the hot tub. Labelled bags were left out to put laundry in on departure and instructions for recycling - very organised! One minor point for us was that the toilet paper provided was of a very poor quality and did not reflect the high standard of everything else. This is not a complaint but just something that the owners might appreciate feedback on. This was our first visit to Devon and we loved it. Some really interesting places to visit and the bungalow provided excellent accommodation for us and our little dog, Thankyou.

  This is an extremely well equipped property.

  A lot of thought has gone into the furnishings and the kitchen utensils. All the extra things I usually bring with me were not required as it is all there - extra toilet rolls, washing up and clothes tablets, baking foil etc. The accommodation is all on one level and beautifully appointed, the kitchen has enough cupboard space with a big fridge and freezer. Plenty of room for our very large dog to spread out and the field around the property was perfect for her to explore whilst we enjoyed the hot tub. The location was ideal for our day trips out to all the wonderful beaches along the Jurassic coastline and there are several farm shops relatively close for any special food shops required and plenty of little towns. Exeter City is only a 30 minute drive away. A perfect place which we would happily return back to.

  This is a beautiful and comfortable property.

  We spent a delightful week and enjoyed the peace, the views and the hot tub. It is well located for visiting the beach at Northam Burrows and other popular tourist spots such as Rosemoor (RHS), Hartland Point, Bideford, The Tarka Trail and others. The house is spacious and well equipped. My only criticism is that, despite the sloped access to the front door, inside the house there were several deep steps from the hallway to the dining room and from the dining room to the kitchen. My mother is now elderly and disabled. She uses a stick in the house and a mobility scooter when out and about. The bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor and same level were great, but the steps were a persistent problem. I noticed a recent previous guest reviewed with the same point.

  The property is not suitable for warmer months, it gets far too hot, which is made worse by there being no air con to cool it down and if you try and open a window to get any breeze through, you are attacked by countless flying bugs, it’s impossible.

  Maybe some fans would help but due to the nature of the building it would just be pushing hot air around. The bedrooms lacked storage, a set of draws would’ve been helpful rather than just one wardrobe each. The inside of the house was mostly clean, the light fixtures hadn’t been cleaned and the windows hadn’t either. The kitchen was lacking baking trays and pans (you definitely couldn’t come close to cooking a roast) but the hot tub made our nails green so we emptied it and cleaned it ourselves, it was filthy. The grass outside the property is only about mowed about a fifth (maybe less) of what the pictures display, the rest is long grass that you can’t walk through even with wellies on.
