I enjoyed a week with my dog at Barn Court Cottage. It was very comfortable and well equiped. The hosts, Pam and Hugh, were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed it so much I found I was able to book a second week so extended the stay. Peaceful and quiet yet Tiverton was just 3 miles away. Highly reccomend a stay here.

Good value for money. Good sized property for the money. Owners on-site meaning that if you need anything it is sorted quickly. They were very welcoming.Excellent location. Near to the facilities of Tiverton, but very much a rural location.I would stay again
