Norwood Barn Reviews

Norwood Barn really feels like a cosy escape, perfect for exploring North Devon’s stunning beaches, forestsand woods. The place is beautifully decorated, super welcomingand keeps you warm. We loved relaxing in the hot tub after a day out. Our dog was right at home tooand we’re already planning our next visit-can’t wait!
Emma
This place felt just like home, super comfy furniture, everything we needed was thereand it made our holiday really special!
Lucy
We’ve stayed at quite a few dog-friendly places, but Norwood Barn really stands out! Nikki and Emma clearly put a lot of effort into maintaining high standardsand it shows as soon as you walk in. The peaceful setting was just what we needed, though having a car is essential for exploring. The hot tub was a real treat after a day walking in Devon. Everything we needed was provided-absolutely lovely stay!
James
The place was really comfortable and nicely furnished. It’s tucked away in a peaceful spot, though the access road is quite narrow and winding.
Emma
We loved staying here! The place is lovely, well-equippedand perfectly situated for exploring Devon’s countryside. It’s peaceful and quiet, with just the occasional tractor passing, which really adds to the charm of country life. Would definitely return!
Emma
The place was really lovely, super clean and had everything we could ask for. The bed was comfy, the kitchen well-stockedand the hot tub was a lovely bonus. Would definitely stay again!
James
Really peaceful spot, perfect for unwinding. If you venture out, North Devon has some cracking places to explore. Definitely worth a visit!
James
We had a fantastic time staying in your lovely barn! It was spotless, beautifully decoratedand super modern. Emma and Nikki were so friendly and accommodating - really made us feel at home. Definitely recommend - thanks for a great stay!
Emma Clarke
We loved Norwood Barn - the hot tub really made our day after walking around!
Emma
Honestly, we didn’t realise the owner’s property was right next door, which was a bit of a surprise. The garden and hot tub area weren’t as private as hoped since it was overlooked by the neighbours. Also, the garden gate didn’t lock, which felt a bit odd. Parking was a nightmare for anything larger than a small car-really tight! On the plus side, the place was spotless, well-equippedand felt cosy. The homemade cake was a lovely touchand we appreciated the early check-in. Not bad overall, just some quirks!
Emma
We've been lucky enough to stay in lots of places, but this one really stood out. It was so clean and well-equipped, with top-notch fittings. We had a fantastic time and definitely wouldn’t hesitate to return. Truly a great find!
Emma
This place really exceeded our expectations! The house is spotless and well-equipped. We loved relaxing here after days out visiting friends and family. Definitely a spot we’d return to!
Emma Clarke
The furnishings and decor were really lovelyand the bed was super comfy-made us feel right at home. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and log burner, such a treat! Just a heads-up: the place is quite remote, so plan plenty of time for your trips. The roads are mainly single track, so drive carefully. Peaceful farming area, very relaxing!
Emily
We really enjoyed our stay at Norwood Barn. It’s such a cosy little place, perfect for a week away. Emma and Nikki have thought of everything - from the hot tub and Netflix to the handy air fryer and boiling water tap. The wood burner was great after a dip in the hot tuband there was plenty of wood supplied. The location is a bit tucked away down narrow country lanes, but that’s typical of Devon and didn’t stop us exploring daily. Thanks again!
Jamie
Great spot, definitely recommend!
Oliver
We spent Christmas here and honestly, it was just perfect! The house was beautifully decorated and had everything we could possibly need. The comfy sofa and fireplace made for a cosy spot to relax after all the Christmas feasting. The place was spotless, with plenty of logs for the fireand the hot tub, while not super powerful, was a lovely bonus. Huge thanks to the owners-we’re definitely planning to come back next year!
Emma
The cottage was spotless, beautifully maintainedand nicely decorated. Everything we needed was thereand the owners were really friendly. We’d definitely return for another stay!
Emma
Spacious, comfortable barn with stunning views, loved it!
Emma
We had such a lovely stay! The place is really cosy and perfect for a chillout. The open plan downstairs makes it feel spaciousand the garden being fully enclosed was a big plus for us and the dog - no worries about escapes. We also loved how close it is to dog-friendly beaches and pubs, the owners’ tips were spot on. It was quite warm during our visit, so we didn’t need the log burner, but I bet it’s fantastic in winter. Definitely recommend!
Alexandra
Our stay at Norwood Barn was lovely. The place feels super cosy and well-maintained, both inside and out. The garden was perfect for our dog - very secure. Emma and Nikki were really helpful and made us feel right at home. Plenty of sandy beaches nearbyand we’d definitely return again someday!
