  Just an outstanding property.

  Langdale barn is beautifully furnished and in a gorgeous village with a lovely enclosed garden, ideal for our dog. The footpath leading from the garden to the beautiful lakeside walk was a huge bonus. We loved the comfy sofas, the supremely comfortable bed, the fantastic shower and everything else in between. All the little extras provided by the wonderful hosts, Mike and Julie, were very much appreciated. From the delicious cream tea on arrival, to the bath robes and toiletries. We had a wonderful walking holiday, so much beautiful countryside to explore in the area. We ate at the fantastic New Inn, a few minutes walk, 6 nights out of the 7. A massive plus to have this gorgeous pub on the doorstep! Mike very kindly refilled the number of bird feeders in the garden part way through the week, the variety of garden birds we saw was amazing. We could have sat for hours just watching them! Also loved the wildlife cameras - another lovely touch. We loved it so much we booked for next year before leaving and can’t wait to go back.

  Really lovely stay - warmly welcomed by the host who went above and beyond to share the wildlife with us and responded quickly when we couldn’t find something in the house.

  Absolutely fabulous natural light with those gorgeous windows, loved sitting and feeling part of it all! The shower was the best of my LIFE; the kitchen was well-equipped for preparing food (including Tupperware for picnics!); and we loved the big table for craft activities, pile of blankets for snuggling, decent speaker for music, massive telly for film nights, comfy beds, matching robes, a fire to warm ourselves by with a good supply of wood and the well-stocked birdfeeders which brought in a wonderful show of birds! (Listening to owls in bed at night was a treat and then seeing footage of one in the bird box the next morning was a highlight!) Well-located for trips to nearby places and reachable by good roads (only got narrow as we entered the village, which was not busy at all in November) and a dedicated parking space was much appreciated. As a mother and daughter going for a week away together it was perfection. Huge thanks to our wonderful hosts!

  A nice place to stay with everything we needed, well positioned too.

  This was first time we'd gone anywhere with our dog and he was made welcome. I would recommend it as a nice enough place to stay without a dog too! All I'd question is that the living room is upstairs and kitchen downstairs which makes it difficult to persuade a dog to go back downstairs to sleep if you've been watching TV upstairs together. Hence ours slept upstairs in the living room. We had covers in case he went on the sofas. But he could nudge open our bedroom door easily so we had some disturbed nights. I did find the lounging chair very comfy to sleep on during those nights. On windy nights the light kept going on outside which shone into the living room spooking the dog. There's a washing machine but you need to check the owners aren't already using it. It's a bit ancient and is used a lot. Lovely owners though. Helpful. Chatty. Generous. Thoughtful. I'd go back, but without the pooch.

  Fantastic experience.

  Great communication before, during and after our stay from the owners. The Only disappointment was that we didn’t get to stay longer. This beautiful Property is set on a small holding in a really peaceful village, the only humm is that off the odd tractor working the fields or that of the of wildlife that surrounds us. If it’s peace and quiet you want then this is the place. We stayed as a family of 4, with a 6 year old and 5 year old, they had access to a lovely garden to play in, and with the property all being on one floor we felt they was alway comfortable and safe. They especially liked visiting the animals that where accessible from the property. Both the owners are really accessible, friendly and helpful we felt very welcome there. Thank you. I hope we can get booked in again soon.

  Absolutely beautiful.

  What a stunning location for a relaxing break. The accommodation had everything you could possibly need. The sofas and the beds are probably the most comfortable we have come across in the 30+ years of self catering holidays. We loved the peace and quiet and watching the birds on the feeder and the antics of the cheeky squirrels was just wonderful. The daily updates from the wildlife cameras were great. Lovely cream tea on arrival and the fresh eggs were great. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again next time we come to Devon. Loads of places to visit in either direction and great beaches for our dog to run for miles, especially Saunton Sands. Thank you for a wonderful break.
