A relaxing week in this comfortable cottage, we loved the peaceful location ideally situated to visit the sights of Devon, Dorset and Somerset. We also enjoyed the generous welcome pack. We would be delighted to stay again in the future.

The Barn was lovely and no problems with the accommodation, but we had a major problem as the EV charger was not working. We contacted you and were put through to a local property manager who we talked to but never came back to us. The occupants of the other property on the site were in the same position. It was very fortunate that we had recharged a bit on the way down as it was a long journey from Buxton and the battery was quite low when we arrived. The journey down was stressful, finding the charger did not work added to this. The main reason for our visit was to visit our son's grave so we were pretty stressed out anyway, and this added to that. We did manage to get to the grave the next day but then had to find a charger that was not being used. We did this eventually in Lyme Regis but had to wait for one of them to be free and download an App - none of which wanted to work, so we were pretty cheesed off and upset by this time. It wasted several hours of our holiday. We also had to go back to Lyme Regis on the day before we left to get the car charged up again, so went to the museums etc but this was not what we had planned. This really did detract from the week's break. Someone left us a bottle of wine on the door step, but we don't feel this was a true reflection of the angst the failure caused. We would have preferred a working charger.
