Cottage extremely comfortable, chairs and bed in particular so no aches and pains. Cottage was very well equipped. Location is very good for north Devon trips out. Very quiet and peaceful location. WiFi was good. Proper was very clean with an advantage of one bathroom with a bath and one with a shower.

The Red Barn was clean and comfortable and in a quiet location with lovely views; The owner, Linda, was very pleasant and helpful. However, the private road leading to the owner's property and The Red Barn was atrocious with potholes galore which has not done the suspension on our car any favours!! This is something which, in my opinion, needs to be rectified and would definitely put me off rebooking this property.
