Lovely cottage in a very pretty thatched village. Warm, comfortable and quiet. Beware the smoke alarms - they are super sensitive and VERY loud. Opening the door of the log burner set them off. As did grilling some sausages for breakfast. Good to know we'd wake up if there was a fire though!! Nella was a pleasure to deal with, quick with communication and sorting out a set of towels for us very promptly. The pub served great food and the cottage was close to family we were visiting. Great stay thank you.

Really relaxing and enjoyable. Lovely walks and so quiet!

Had the best time in Nella's beautiful cottage! The location is just perfect and the cottage is beautifully decorated. Nella's driving instructions to the cottage were invaluable and the welcome basket was a lovely touch! We also would like to thank the lovely Heidi for helping us out at literally a moment's notice! Would definitely stay again!

Loved everything about rose cottage! We were so comfortable, cuddled up on the sofa with the log burner blazing, everything was so clean and we felt at home from the moment we turned the key in the door. Kings Nympton is an excellent location, the local pub is a real gem and there are plenty of little walks nearby. Underfloor heating in the bathroom, plenty of cooking utensils and a proper comfy bed set rose cottage apart from every other place we have stayed in Devon. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

One very amazing find in the heart of North Devon. We loved staying here in the (URL HIDDEN) is everything you could ask for a country escape, providing modern amenities including an upgrade kitchen and bathroom. Everything is in the cottage that you need for an enjoyable stay, including a great welcome pack with a few essentials. A very nice touch. Just along the road is the Grove Inn, an excellent pub and restaurants.... great food, some of the best I had while in the UK along with a huge selection of local and regional beers. I can see why they have won several awards, defiantly worth a visit. The village is a short drive from South Molton and Chulmleigh, both great Devon style towns providing everything you need. Will defiantly consider booking the cottage again when next in Devon. Highly recommended

Nella's cottage is precisely as she describes it. It's clean, quiet and the private garden in particular was a godsend during the warm spring mornings. Watching the robins and listening to the birdsong - hard to beat! The food and company of the locals in the Grove Inn was also brilliant - much to be recommended!

It is a very cute cottage and it has a fantastic new bathroom. The cottage is located in a very picturesque village and we loved the local pub. The church is also interesting to see. We were visiting family in the area, and unfortunately didn't have a lot of time to enjoy the cottage.

Lovely rustic cottage in a very friendly village; great pub. Cottage was tucked away so make sure you read the 'how to get to' instructions. Facilities great especially the welcome pack. Wonderful views from the village over the rolling countryside

A lovely quaint cottage in the countryside of Devon. A bit remote for going out to dinner or picking up bread and milk. Lovely hosts, good communication and very welcoming and helpful with information on day trips around the local area. The house was warm and comfortable, great for a quiet weekend getaway, my kids loved the sheep and the swings. Lots of board games and playing cards provided, plenty of scenic walks and just a cozy place to unwind. A bit outdated with furniture and decor dressings, but overall a lovely weekend getaway for couples and families.

Effie's place is well located to visit the North Coast of Cornwall or Dartmoor National Park. It is secluded and for those who want to get away from city craziness, it delivers. We visited when the farm had many lambs and trees were in bloom, it was very beautiful. The cottage offers basic level of comfort in terms of amenities, heat insulation or entertainment. The weather was mostly nice when we visited but I would recommend travelers with children to plan for entertainment in case of rain (eg. no wifi, no books, no games nor toys). Supermarkets are very far so bring your food with you.

Ken & Gail were great. Very helpful & kind. Fantastic location ,wonderful views & very peaceful.

We had an excellent time staying at the Shippen. The barn was even better than it looks online- lots of space, an amazing view and everything you might need. The barn had a great feel to it and we especially enjoyed having the wood burner to tend to! The barn is in a great location with amazing views but close enough to villages and other sites if you want something to do. Gail and Ken are really lovely and interesting people as well as being the perfect hosts, they made us feel right at home. We would definitely recommend staying here and can't wait to make another trip back ourselves!

Gail and Ken were so welcoming, friendly and helpful. The location was secluded and peaceful with no one else in sight, with beautiful walks through the countryside nearby, perfect for a relaxing getaway.

What a lovely spacious converted barn with fantastic views across Devon. Really well equipped and Gail and Ken were extremely welcoming.

The listing was accurate and Gail and her husband made us feel very welcome. They are a lovely and interesting couple. The accommodation is fantastic with a magnificent view from the decking. There is a clear view of the rolling hills in the distance which can be seen while relaxing on the sofa or sitting at the dining table. It is tastefully furnished and decorated with lots of attention to detail. There is lots of light from the windows and the space has a nice ambience. The kitchen is well designed with good utensils. We were able to unwind and relax there and enjoy the peace and quiet of this beautiful part of the country. There are plenty of lovely walks around the area and we fell in love with the place and want to come again.

Gail was a fantastic host - we felt very welcome, and the strawberries and fresh flowers from her garden were a lovely touch. The barn is as described and the view is ridiculous - you can't see anyone for miles! Really lovely big sitting / dining room to enjoy the views. Tip to other travellers - bring lots of socks, even in summer - the floors are cold!

This place is Devon heaven, even better than the photos show! The Shippen has been inspiringly converted into lovely, secluded living accommodation with long windows on three sides of the lounge ... enabling you to look out onto an uninterrupted view of the countryside all around. From the lounge you can walk straight out onto the decking, and even push the folding windows right back ... the only sounds are some mooing cows! I felt relaxed straightaway and a very comfortable bed helped even more later! The kitchen was well equipped and Gail had added extra little touches there and also fresh flowers around the place. Little details that were most appreciated by me. Gail was a very kind, thoughtful and generous host, making sure I had all the details of how to get to the barn, meeting me on my arrival and also texting me to make sure I was OK and had everything I needed on the first evening, but never intruding. She and Ken were such lovely hosts, an added bonus, and I very much enjoyed chatting with them, in the kitchen of their rather unique house, over hot drinks one morning. This is a place to remember and hopefully visit again.

If you want peaceful, you've got it! The barn had spectacular views of uninterrupted rolling fields - the nights were pitch black and silent - there's a very comfortable bed, a lovely space to relax in, and a really fantastic wood burning stove! Ken and Gail are great hosts - interesting people to chat with and also very helpful. We had a lovely 3 days of relaxing and recharging, and would highly recommend staying at the Shippen.

Hillside is a magical spot. The house feels like it has been lifted from a fairytale and the wider areas is totally charming - beautiful countryside and gorgeous nearby village with everything we wanted - shops, cafe, pub, even a super-friendly golf-course. The house was wonderfully comfortable with everything we needed - great kitchen set-up, toys for the kids, lots of wonderful books, plenty of beautiful interiors touches and a fabulous garden. We were perfectly located to explore the Devon countryside and coastline. Josie was the perfect host, helping us with all our questions. We hope to come back again soon!

Katherine was the consummate host, very quick to respond and incredibly welcoming and helpful whilst we were at her Barn. The Barn itself is fantastic, a really well done conversion with plenty of space and afforded some good solitude yet also close enough to the sights of mid Devon. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely stay at Ford Barn. Katherine made us feel most welcome and let us know they were nearby should we need anything, but gave us the space to enjoy our stay without feeling watched. The barn itself was spotless clean, and beautifully furnished. The welcome pack went down very well, (bacon and eggs on local bread for New Years breakfast!) would happily stay again.

My husband and I stayed with our two young daughters (6 & 4). The host and her family were lovely and always there if we needed anything. The barn is absolutely beautiful, it is new, well fitted out and very spacious. We had family come for dinner one night and there was plenty of room for everyone and they were very impressed by the space. The barn was a great place to rest after a busy day of touring, I highly recommend it! My girls loved their time here and loved exploring outside and watching the geese. We were all sad to leave!

Ford Barn is a great place to stay. We had a family weekend there as one of our sons was getting married nearby. All the family loved the space. It was so warm and cosy with the wood burner. The bedrooms are comfortable and the bathrooms high-end and efficient. The living area and kitchen are very spacious and there was plenty of room for everyone. Katherine is very welcoming and provided us with great local produce for a lovely breakfast. The location is really deepest darkest Devon with lots of narrow lanes to drive, but this added to the adventure. There are geese and ducks roaming around the barn which are very entertaining.

We were greeted with home made scones, jam and cream - very welcome after a nine hour drive. The host was not at all intrusive but always available to answer questions or provide advice. The location was excellently positioned for exploring the many sites and attractions in North Devon. An added bonus was that we visited during the Chumleigh Old Fair which was an excellent experience. Ford Barn has been well converted, is clean and modern, and an ideal size for our party of six (plus two dogs which were made to feel very welcome). Kitchen is well equipped, and the open plan design of the downstairs makes for a very social environment. very peaceful setting, with ducks, geese and horses strolling around to make it a truly authentic countryside experience. would fully recommend Ford Barn to other Air BnB users.

We had a really lovely stay. Alison was very helpful in advance and during our stay. Delicious cupcakes on arrival. We had ordered a supermarket delivery which arrived just before we did and it was kindly unpacked for us. Alison's daughter helped out with babysitting too. The house is exactly as described - very well appointed and comfortable. We spent the week exploring the local beaches and attractions - of which there are plenty. We hope to return again soon.

艾莉森是一个奇妙的主机,没有什么是她太麻烦了。房子是美丽的,我们都彻底享受自己

Absolutely fantastic! The house is beautiful and very well furnished with 3 sofas in the lounge and loads of light. The underfloor heating is by room. The kitchen is perfect. The beds are very comfortable. I can't recommend this accommodation enough. Homemade scones with homemade cream and jam on arrival!!!! Thank you Alison

Highly recommended

Very happy with the stay

Fish Cottage is absolutely magical. The house itself is charming, full of character but with lots of lovely quirky touches. We loved all the drift wood door handles, artwork and amazing lighting. The sun room was the perfect place for dinners and conversation that went on long into the evening. The kitchen was well equipped and we made good use of the BBQ. The garden was a huge highlight of our stay. The photographs don't do it justice. We had some lovely meals out there, lounged on the lawn, roamed through the flowers and made crumble from the rhubarb and apples growing in the kitchen garden. Chumleigh is the nearest place to stock up on food but make sure you don't go on sat or wed after 1pm as the deli and butcher close early! If you're looking for a slow pace, total relaxation and a break away from everything then Fish Cottage is definitely for you.

We had an excellent stay. Fish Cottage is beautiful, comfortable, cosy and warm (with a wood burner and an open fire). A real home away from home. Michael and his housekeeper were extremely helpful and answered every question I had, including recommending local stables from which to ride out onto the moors. I expect we'll be back before too long.

I cannot recommend Fish Cottage enough for those wishing to experience the pleasures of a weekend away from it all. The cottage itself is a treat, beautifully decorated, functional and sunny (with a fantastic library) and it is located in an idyllic setting (think not only sheep and horses but pheasants, fish and wild deer!). We stayed at the Easter weekend and despite having quite a bit of time on our hands, chose to venture out for one day trip only (to Exmoor - highly recommended!) and spent the rest of the time tooling around the nearby country walks and reading by the fire. I would highly recommend picking up your groceries for your stay in Barnstaple on Butchers Row (try the pork and laver sausages and fresh clotted cream!). The Mole Valley farmer's store just outside South Molton also has a fine selection of produce and prepared foods such as pies. Michael and Julie are responsive and accommodating hosts, thanks to you both!

The cottage was in a lovely peaceful location and just a mile from Eggesford Station, so we could get about without a car. Inside it was beautifully decorated and looked out on a lovely garden.

Fantastic place, exactly as described and shown on the listing. Excellent host, very understanding.

Dies ist ein magisches Refugium in der Mitte von Devon - auf halbem Weg zwischen Exmoor und Dartmoor. Es ist so charmant und komfortabel wie die Bilder vorschlagen, voll von skurrilen Details, Gartenblumen, matschig Sofas und gut bestückte Kamine. Wir fühlten uns sofort wie zu Hause und waren traurig zu verlassen. Der Garten ist auch sehr gepflegt, und ist voll von Vögeln, deren Gesang holen Sie rechtzeitig für Ihren nächsten Spaziergang wecken. Sehr empfehlenswert, wenn man von allem wegzukommen wollen.

Wahrscheinlich mein Lieblings Airbnb bisherigen Erfahrungen. Fisch Cottage ist ein schönes Refugium in einem schönen Ort. Das Interieur ist eine herrliche Sammlung von Möbeln, Bücher, Lampen, Teppiche und Bilder. Die abgelegene und sehr lange Garten ist ein perfekter Platz für Außen Faulenzen, hören Vögel und fangen einige Sonne. Darüber hinaus, die Mitte - Devon Landschaft bietet Waldwege, einfach Kontakt mit Stränden (wir gingen zu Instow) und hübschen Städten und Dörfern. Kontakt mit Michael per E-Mail und Lenice telefonisch war alles in Ordnung und wir schnell und ohne Probleme ließen sich in. Ich denke, dass wir innerhalb von 15 Minuten zu Hause gefühlt, und danach war es einfach nur Spaß zu erkunden. Wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder, vielleicht im nächsten Jahr!

wonderful house in a lovely area- we had a great holiday. Thank you Michael.
