Foxglove Barn Reviews

Foxglove Barn is an absolute gem. Howard and Suzie are perfect hosts, gave us space to relax but also happy to help with any queries. All the little things that are usually missing in a holiday let have been thought of and made it feel like a home from home. The house is so cosy, well equipped, comfortable beds, space to relax, plenty of bathrooms and a fabulous hot tub. The welcome gifts were incredible, really made us feel welcome and were super helpful for our stay. We would 100 recommend Foxglove Barn and look forward to booking again in the future. Thank you!
Stephanie
We had such a wonderful stay at Foxglove cottage and would recommend it highly. We stayed with our 10 and 8 year old boys and none of us wanted to leave. It was a great base for exploring the area and beyond and also for a cosy home day too. The owners are lovely and nothing was too much trouble for them, they gave a gorgeous welcome arrival with home made biscuits and home made bread, which was very well received. We would definitely return.
Amanda
Really beautiful cottage, very accommodating hosts. Lovely personal touches and welcome treats. Would highly recommend foxglove barn.
We absolutely loved staying here! It was peaceful and so relaxing especially having the hot tub to chill in. The barn had everything we needed, and it was lovely and so thoughtful to have goodies there when we arrived. Foxglove barn was so spacious which we didnt expect. We would definitely stay again in the future! Thank you for everything!
Joanna
Owners very friendly and have gone that extra mile of leaving fresh bread, milk and cookies and not forgetting the fizz to welcome us, very thoughtful. Hot tub great and cottage very comfortable and cosy.
William
Excellent location for access all over South Devon. Lovely comfortable clean modern accommodation. Will likely stay again in years to come. Hot tub was important to us and we were worried it was overlooked by the buildings nearby actually there's trellis and plants all around which made it very private. 1010
Beautiful barn in a stunning location. This wonderful property has everything and more than you could possibly need for your stay. Its charming features provided a relaxing retreat after a day of exploring around the wonderful Devon countryside. The magnificent welcome pack was quite simply the icing on the cake!
Fantastic super hosts lovely treats on arrival, very friendly and accommodating, venue gorgeous. Thank you for a wonderful stay
Fabulous property, very beautiful place which is owned by very a lovely couple. Hot tub was really great and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Great kitchen which was very well equipped. Lovely lounge area, and very comfortable beds. Small downside is second bedroom ensuite has an electric shower but no basin, or toilet. However, we had a really lovely time and would definitely recommend the property.
