What a wonderful place. A magnificent adapted barn in a fabulous location for driving around North Devon. Very well equipped to a high standard, wonderful to relax in the spa/pool watching magnificent Devon sunsets. You can rest assured that if one or more of your party is a wheelchair user or has mobility challenges that this property is incrediRead morebly well adapted. For us being able to have use of profiling beds, with pressure relief air mattress and overhead tracking hoist was such a boon and a major attraction for us. The hosts could not have been more accommodating and there were even alpacas! Hide

This cottage was perfect. 6 large double bedrooms rooms with excellent facilities for my very disabled husband .There is a large main lounge and another large lounge where we played snooker , table tennis and other games . The kitchen diner is massive with a very large dinning table for all to sit round .The swimming pool was fab and had a changingRead more room beside it with a shower . As well as a garden there was a very large field where we flew our kites. There is also a path down to a lake where you can canoe and paddle board but unfortunately the weather was not that good so we didnt use the lake . There is a little play area with a swing and slide for the little ones . All in all it was superb and we will go again . We were a group of 13 aged from 2yrs to 92yrs and it suited all . Hide

Beautiful and very clean and well equipped for all levels of age & ability. We were particularly impressed with the small gestures (dish washer tabs, washing gel for washing machine, soap in every room, enough toilet roll for the week, towels galore, cleaning materials to deal with spills and daily chores which is very considerate. Very impressedRead more with how our dogs were also included in the hospitality gift and allowed in the pool and hot tub. I really cannot fault. We met the owners most days as they attended the alpacas and checked the pool, nothing was too much trouble and they are a lovely humble couple. Thank you for offering an amazing accommodation - our holiday would not have been possible without the facilities and space this property offered Hide

Karen

We had a wonderful time, 12 of us, aged 2 to 60, and a dog! The hot tub/pool was a welcome addition, usable even in the cold, wet weather, with the cover. The house and much of the grounds was fully accessible for a full time powered wheelchair user. Ilfracombe and Woolacombe close by, as is the Tarka trail.

Beautifully appointed and very comfortable. Provision for all levels of disablement but maintaining luxury. Better than the photographs, my family had a wonderful time.
