  We both really enjoyed our stay at 1 Easton Barn.

  We were pleasantly surprised at how well equipped the property was and it immediately felt like home. The property is very well situated. Its a short drive from various beaches like Challaborough Bay, Wonwell Beach, Bantham, Burgh Island etc. Up the road is St Annes Chapel which stocks your essential and last minute items and Kingsbridge is not too far should you need to visit a larger supermarket. There was a review somewhere which commented on the noise from the pool table below and it was audible from the room, however it didn't cause us any issues. The garden area is well kept with a small summer house, inside which is a BBQ and spare charcoal we could use if needed. Bathroom facilities were good enough. I've used far worse showers! Bedroom has ample storage and plug sockets. Living room was comfortable with plenty of board games for rainy evenings and the house in general was warm. Kitchen was better equipped than my one at home. No shortage of plates, bowls, saucepans, cutlery, utensils etc. In the spirit of a fair review, There were some areas of the house that could have used a wipe, so we just did it ourselves. Overall, I didn't expect this property to be as clean as it was given the age and type of building it is so I don't feel rating its cleanliness any lower than full marks would be justified. Lastly, we would like to thank the hosts for having us. The check in process was super easy, the property was good value for money and we genuinely look forward to staying again. Thankyou, Joe, Leigh & Benny (the dog)

  We really enjoyed our time at Easton Barn.

  Located in a very beautiful setting. A vast improvement from our last booking with Sykes. Very clean and everything there you needed for a comfortable stay. We met the owner when we arrived who was very pleasant and helpful giving us good information about lovely local walks and places to visit. If you walked to the top of the garden which was quite large you could see all the beautiful countryside around you. Our Dog loved running round the lovely enclosed garden, which also had a summer house. You could also make use of the Barbecue. Well situated for trips around the South Devon Countryside and coastal regions. Bigbury on Sea just down the road. Had a lovely day in Dartmoor National Park and finished off the day with Fish and chips in Brixham on Friday before going home via Kingsbridge (which is a lovely town with walks by the river) on Saturday. Would highly recommend 1 Easton Barn.

  Our stay at ‘The crows nest’ exceeded our expectation. It’s very well equipped with washing machine / dish washer / airfryer and the private use / sheltered hot tub a welcome soak after a hard days walking. The plates / cups etc are quality and the kitchen well equipped. Location. It is remote, quiet and sitting out with a beverage just hearing birds and sheep total bliss. There’s a pub, shops and restaurants a short drive away. Not in walking distance. There is a 3.5 lovely walk you can do from the house. As you are centrally located we had a wonderful week a mix of walking, hiring bikes. You can hire SUPs or kayaks on Wimbleball lake 30 mins away. We did coastering at Hele bay and sea kayaking in the south coast. You need a car. It’s remote. It’s wonderfully quiet. You can’t walk to restaurants/pubs. WiFi is ok. Phone signal good.

  One of the best cottages in the UK we've had the pleasure to stay. Located perfectly for some countryside peace and quiet and a short drive away from lots of great walks in the Exmoor National Park. Wonderful views to the surrounding hillside while relaxing in the hot tub, regardless of the weather as it's covered. The owner was happy to stop and chat when we saw him and even gave us a little history of the farm. I would definitely recommend planning some local walks straight from the cottage, especially a beautiful circular taking in Huntsham and its lake. If you're a runner and like me you enjoy some runs while on hols then be prepared for the toughest first 400m you'll probably ever experience. The climb from the bottom of the hillside the cottage is based begins steep and then gets steeper. My lungs will testify to this :-)

  We came in order to attend a wedding of friends and made it a weekly holiday.

  The choice of the cottage turned out to be a very felicitous pick. The cottage is an old barn, placed in a garden where you instantly can see the care and passion for plants and flowers of the owners. Multiple tiers of terraces, including one with a lovely view over the surrounding areas, makes it an exiting place. We were glad to meet the owners, which are very fine persons, emanating a great deal of hospitality. The barn is well furnished and equipped with everything you need and extremely clean. Beyond the place itself, this area of Devon is just amazing and provides everything from sand beaches, national parks, coastal hikes, lovely villages and great restaurant, a mix ready to spawn a very special holiday. In short, there is nothing we would object and a lot to recommend! Kind regards, From Leonce, Sally and Jón
