Our stay was fantastic! The barn was spotless and really comfortable. Julie and her husband made us feel so welcome, which was lovely. It would be great if they could jot down all the must-see spots and activities - it’d help future guests loads. Also, the cottage info about the secure dog paddock was a brilliant touch. We especially enjoyed meeting Eric the pig and the other animals. We’ll definitely return. Thanks so much!

Tom
Northgate Manor Barn is a good place in North Devon. The location is perfect - peaceful but close enough to explore all the sights. The kitchen is top-notch, beautifully designed and well-equipped, making it easy to cook when we wanted. The beds are honestly some of the most comfy we’ve stayed in during our holidays. Coming back after a day out at Instow, Graysands, or walking at Tarr Steps and Clovellyand then unwinding in the jacuzzi, was just lovely. The views over the trees from the living room add a real touch of relaxation. We’ll definitely be back!

We had a fantastic week here in May! The place was one of the cleanest we’ve ever been toand the scenery is absolutely stunning. Our son loved seeing the animals, feeding the pigsand exploring the groundsand the owner gave us a really lovely welcome. There’s loads to do within 20 to 40 minutes by carand Quince Honey Farm is just a two minute drive away, which is definitely worth checking out. The kitchen is well equipped, so we had everything we needed for cooking our evening meals.

We had a wonderful time at Northgate Manor! The property had everything we needed - lovely views, comfy rooms, caring hosts, ample parking, a hot tuband even farm animals like alpacas.

All in all, it’s a fantastic place and we can definitely recommend it to anyone.

This cottage is beautiful and spotlessly clean! Just a heads up, there’s no downstairs toilet, which was a bit of a struggle for us since I have arthritis in both knees and my husband just had heart surgrey.
