We had a lovely stay at The Barn! Suzanne was such a warm and friendly host, making us feel really welcome from the moment we arrived. The little touches, like flowers and treats for both us and the dogs, added a nice touch. The setup was perfect for our group, aged 10 to 72, with two dogsand the paddock was a big plus for the pups. The showers were great, the hot tub was a real bonusand the beds were super comfy. The kitchen had everything we needed and the lounge was cosy with a decent-sized TV. Great location too!

Yeoland Barn really is a lovely place to stay. It’s spacious, well-equippedand having all the dog essentials like beds, bowls, blanketsand towels was a real bonus. The large, secure dog exercise field was a big plus for us. The owner, just across the street, was friendly and available if needed-though we didn’t have any issues. We also loved the scones with cream and jam. The hot tub was a nice touchand we’d happily recommend it for a dog-friendly getaway. Definitely a 5-star experience!

We really enjoyed our stay at The Hide! The dogs absolutely loved the enclosed field - they couldn’t get enough of running around and letting off steam.

Rachel
We really enjoyed our stay at Lower Yeoland Barn. It’s such a great spot for a multi-generational family trip-everyone found something to love. The grandparents appreciated the large ensuite master for a bit of privacy, while the teenagers had a blast in the hot tub. Our dog couldn’t resist chasing rabbits in the field, though never quite caught one! Suzanne was a fantastic host, making sure everything was perfect. Definitely recommend!
Jamie
We had a lovely stay thanks to Suzanne, who was always ready to help if needed-though we didn’t require much assistance. The cottage was spotless, well kitted outand in a decent spot, even if we did have to navigate quite a few country lanes, probably because of a nearby road closure. It made a great base for days out at The Big Sheep, RHS Rosemoor, Exmoor Zooand Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park. Overall, a really nice break, cheers!
James
What a fantastic stay! The house is set in such a gorgeous spot, surrounded by lovely countryside-perfect for relaxing. Our dog loved the paddockand we had a great time unwinding in the hot tub, which was really well maintained. Exploring North Devon was easy, with plenty to see and do nearby. The hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful, honestly some of the best we've come across. Definitely recommend booking here if you want a chilled break. We'll be back!
