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.

  Lovely cottage in the middle of nowhere.

  A little sanctuary and so, so peaceful. The cottage was very clean and the owner always nearby if we needed anything. Nothing was too much trouble. Only feedback and certainly not a criticism but I took my parents as a gift and my Dad is a little disabled in that his legs don’t work very well. Stairs were not an issue as he’s ok if he has something to hold on to so no problem there. It was just the seating in the living room as very low so he had trouble getting out of it. As I said, certainly not a criticism but something you don’t know until you are there. Beautifully designed house. Very minimalistic which we loved. In the middle of acres of farm which you have the freedom to walk around. There are chickens (we loved the fresh eggs!!!), sheep, cows and a bull. The stars at night are fabulous. I would definitely recommend this beautiful cottage.

  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.

  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.

  The barn was exactly as described, very spacious, warm and well equipped.

  Good beds, high quality bedding and lovely big fluffy towels. Sadly the weather was not great for our stay so we didn’t make much use of the outside space. However the peace and quiet was a real treat. Birdsong, woodpeckers and owls couldn’t hear a road at all. Ellie was on hand if needed and came to check the jacuzzi once, but text first which we appreciated. Good information folders in the property including a folder with manual for all the appliances and heating. Ellie also left an extremely generous welcome hamper - thank you! This property would very comfortably accommodate 6 and you’d not be on top of each other, would definitely recommend.
