Norwood Barn Reviews

Lucy
We had a wonderful stay at Norwood Barn, it was warm, cosy and romantic, perfect for a week stay. Emma and Nikki have thought of everything, from offering an air fryer and boiling water tap to Netflix and the hot tub. Plenty of wood for use on the wood burner, which helped to warm up after a dip in the hot tub. The location is down narrow country lRead moreanes, but thats expected of Devon and did not stop us from exploring the local area every day. Thank you again! Hide

We stayed over Christmas which was wonderful! The house was decorated, had everything we needed, and the comfy sofa and fireplace were ideal in front of the TV (great for the Christmas food coma).

Really clean and comfortable, very much home from home. Spacious, impeccably clean and the extras such as hot tub were perfect for after a days walking. You cant do much from the accommodation, but a short drive to lots of fabulous beaches so well located to explore the coast of north Devon.
Beverley
Barn was immaculatly clean, and beautifully decorated. Patio doors onto the paved patio with hot tub was perfect and worked really well. Bed was comfy too. Host was lovely and very considerate.
Beth
A beautiful accommodation with everything you need to make a home away from home. The jacuzzi was the icing on the cake. The owners are friendly and helpful. A bit of a drive down one way tracks but worth it for a great place to stay.

Raymond
Our most relaxed holiday ever. With our son's dog first time. Worried how to cope. They are used to dog/not dog - perfectly. Dogs stay downstairs and everything starts spotless and is easy to clean. Facilities second to none/all working, includes: log fire/heating, Iron/board/dressing gowns/slippers/all kitchen utensils and equipment (very modern - including water heater, microwave/full oven) and of course hot tub. Parking outside door. Perfect hosts always available not nosey. Do it.

We went to Norwood Barn for a Christmas break. When we first arrived we met Nicki & Emma, they were very welcoming. The owners had made the barn look amazing, with a beautiful Christmas tree and decorations. There was also some lovely Christmas treats for us on arrival. The location is stunning, nothing but green fields and so peaceful. The hot tub was an added bonus. The hosts were lovely, nothing was to much trouble Very dog friendly. We will definitely be back.
Juan Pedro
This cottage is superb! Attention to detail and very well equipped. The hot tub was really nice and very good instructions provided. The wall plugs had usb connectors to charge our devices. This little thing is just something that gives a premium feel to the cottage. The curtained were covered with black out so it was dark during the morning which was good to stay sleeping. The bed and lined really good and comfy. Nikki was very helpful and we recommend this place to anyone.
Jane
Lovely well appointed clean barn When we stayed the hot tub and heating werent working making it a really cold barn and no hot tub disappointing Also very isolated single track roads to navigate to get anywhere Otherwise a pleasant stay
Phil
