  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Luccombe Barn. Our excellent hosts (in the adjacent barn conversion) Bill and Betty made sure that we had everything we needed. A spacious and well equipped kitchen diner and a very comfortable lounge provides an excellent base to relax. Together with a utility room and downstairs loo there is everything that you would possibly need. Upstairs is equally impressive with a large double bedroom and another large bedroom with 3 singles (and more floor space for another!) With a good sized bathroom with bath and separate shower you can't go wrong. Another plus is that there are windows on both sides of the kitchen and lounge so you get the benefit of morning and evening sun. The garden is great with lovely views over the lake. Not too far from the Exe Estuary cycle trail - a brilliant cycle (or walk) in alongside the canal to Exeter Quay and an amazing cycle track alongside the river and railway in the direction of Dawlish. Not to mention ferries at Topsham, Turf and Starcross ....enjoy!

  We chose Luccombe Barn not only for its proximity to Exeter (15 minute drive), but also because it's one of only a few holiday homes that accept dogs but aren't based on working farms. The barn is gorgeous - spacious, well laid out, and furnished with everything we needed for a short break. All the fittings are of a high standard and the place is kept spotlessly clean by the two wonderful caretakers, Bill and Betty, who live across the yard. Nothing is too much trouble for them, and while they're quite happy to keep out of your way they're also great company and have plenty of advice on things to see and do locally. If you're a dog owner or not, this is a great place to visit. It's worth driving for 5 minutes to get to the best local beauty spots as there's only a fishery right on the doorstep, but we honestly couldn't have hoped for a better base. We very much hope to be back, if there's still availability this year!

  The woodshed is an amazing place, so peaceful and tranquil with heavenly views across the rolling Devonshire hills and patchwork fields .

  The property is small but incredibly well equipped, very comfortable beds, cosy lounge and all beautifully handcrafted. The only problem we had seems to be a little misunderstanding with the garden which I was told was dog friendly and fully enclosed, not quite the case if you have a dog with a tendency to squeeze through hedges after rabbits or likes to chase chickens!! A fabulous place for a couple, not much in the village but Exeter only a few miles away. Second bedroom very small but probably well suited to younger children. Local pub was closed when we visited but looked beautiful, and Bob and Issy have put together a fantastic and comprehensive guide to Devon, pubs, beaches, attractions for walkers, children etc. Absolutely idyllic.

  We truly loved every minute of our stay at Lucombe cottage. The cottage its self is equipped with everything you could possibly need and is so cozy but spacious. The cottage is located a short distance from a Tesco express and a larger Tesco is within a reasonable distance. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and the private garden to the rear is the perfect place to sit and relax and enjoy the wildlife. The host’s gave us a lovely warm welcome and were available throughout our stay if needed. There are so many beautiful places to visit locally and would highly recommend Torquay and the river side walk into Exeter. We will definitely stay at Lucombe again in the future. We were so sad to leave and were not ready to go home.

  Wonderful welcome and continuing care by the Landlords Bill and Betty. Quite a large cottage so no shortage of space and of course the fishing lakes are on the other side of the fenced in garden - garden great for dogs. My only slight disappointment was that I would have liked to have seen more spent on the bedding as pillows and small duvet not conducive for goods night sleep, especially given how much it cost for the week. I know that the Landlords were having the shower fixed as the water pressure is low and it needs a water pump except we booked late so they couldn't do it but I'm sure it'll be done for the next guests. Overall pleasantly surprised and hope we'd be welcome back next time. 9/10.
