Rodgemonts Barn Reviews

Alison
Beautifully appointed and idyllically located, we had a wonderful short family break despite disappointing weather. The spacious and luxurious summer house with it's top of the range barbeque and overhead heating were the icing on the cake, and the very large and clean hot tub added a touch of glamour. We were even provided with a chilled bottle of pink prosecco, fresh locally made scones, and many other small but thoughtful necessitates such as tea & coffee, both standard and decaffeinated. Chulmleigh is delightfully pretty and feels very remote despite not being far from the M5. Perfect for a short family break, although we could happily have stayed much longer.
Kerrie
We had a wonderful stay. We were looking for somewhere we could holiday together as a family of adults with various additional needs, with space for different ways to spend our time. This property provided plenty of options and it was one of the most relaxing breaks we have had in recent years.
Bernadette
We had a wonderful time at Rodgemonts Barn. Paul and Val were wonderful hosts, very informative about the local area, and they went above and beyond to make our stay so relaxing and enjoyable. The Barn is just fantastic, and all living accommodation is so comfortable and well equipped. They have thought of everything you could need or want. The bbq area was also brilliant, and my husband, who is a keen cook thoroughly enjoyed using the outdoor cooking facilities. We had lots of memorable family meals out there during the week. This was our first family holiday with 2 small babies, and Paul and Val were really attentive in making sure we had what we needed for them. We celebrated my mums 60th birthday there and Val even helped us with a few decorations for the occasion and a birthday card! Thank you so much, Paul and Val for making our holiday at your barn such an enjoyable, relaxing time.
Val and Paul were the perfect hosts and nothing was too much trouble. The property was beautiful, very well equipped in fact they'd thought of everything you could possibly need super clean, spacious and all the decor was lovely too. The barn is set in very well looked after peaceful surroundings in fact we saw deer and pheasant in the gardens. The relaxing hottub and cabanabbq area was a real bonus. 100 recommendation we will definitely stay again.
Our week at Rodgemonts Barn was amazing. We had four generations on our family holiday, including three young children. It was perfect! Our hosts were amazing and couldnt do enough to make us comfortable, they really went above and beyond. There was so much space for the children to play football and just exploreincluding the woods!! All the facilities are stunningly beautiful and the hot tub was so relaxing!! We were greeted on arrival and waved off when leaving. Thank you for a wonderful holiday, Paul and Val. Cant wait to come back! X
Wow! What can we say? We had the most wonderful stay at Rodgements Barn last weekend! Paul and Val were the most welcoming and friendliest hosts we have ever encountered! The small details and touches definitely didnt go unnoticed and as for the barn and grounds, they were truly stunning! The children enjoyed exploring the woods and running around the extensive grounds. The adults enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub and sleeping in the comfiest beds!! We cannot thank you enough for such a memorable weekend and we will definitely be back ! Thank you ! Nina, Rich, Blayke, Fletcher, Jack, Jade and Milo! X

This property is beautiful, the owners have thoughtfully and methodically built the properties. No expense has been spared and attention to detail is amazing, and thats just the property! The views are amazing, and there is everything for a wonderful time, the hot tub is great and secluded, the owners have thought of everything and if there is anything they may not have, nothing is to much trouble. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would come back in beat. Seeing deer in the field whilst having a morning brew was the cherry on the top! Thank you Paul and Val x x

They have a stunning Barn set in a lovely grounds with plenty to do, including a stunning hot tub and a lovely BBQ Area.

Michelle
What a fabulous property. The photos look lovely on the Sykes website but when we arrived it was even better than we expected. Paul & Val were so welcoming and went above and beyond to make our stay fantastic. We were lucky to have good weather and spent a lot of time at the Hot tub and BBQ area which was amazing. We have stayed in lots of cottages and I have to admit this has to be our favorite property and we will most definitely be returning. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality, hope to return soon.
Malcolm
Faultless property, facilities and owners, who were both genuinely friendly and helpful. The location is relatively remote, but as a result, is quiet and restful and the facilities mean that you sometimes just don't want to leave anyway. Already planning a return visit!
We were all really looking forward to our first holiday in nearly 3 years and this property exceeded our expectations. It was beautiful and Paul and Val, the owners, couldnt have done any more to make our stay more welcoming. They are a really lovely couple and we would certainly like to return in the future. Their property is stunning and our family certainly made use of the Hot Tub and the BBQ area and we even had a walk in the wood. It was really peaceful too. We all thoroughly enjoyed our week there.
Claire
Rodgemonts Barn and its grounds is a beautiful, comfort and unique property. It is immaculately cared for, with everything you could possibly need during your stay. The outdoor facilities Hot tub, lawn and BBQ hut was where our family spent every evening of our holiday... eating and playing games. You can choose to sit on the terrace in for breakfast, on the decking for lunch and the BBQ hut for dinner! It is a stunningly peaceful place with beautiful woodlands to also explore. Our hosts, Paul and Val, were exceptional hosts and couldn't have been more wonderful. They thought of everything to make our stay special and enjoyable and nothing was too much trouble for them. We would highly recommend staying here you wont be disappointed!
Paul & Val were amazing hosts. The property is gorgeous, with so much private outdoor space to enjoy. The cottage itself is furnished to a very high standard and luxurious, making for a lovely, relaxed stay. The additional double rooms with ensuites which are separate to the main cottage were perfect for our 2 older children. Fantastic hot tub and bbq area, both of which can be enjoyed in all weathers!
Yvonne
A truly superb property in a fantastic rural and tranquil location. Both the facilities and the hosts are superlative. The warm welcome, including fresh flowers, tea, coffee and a bottle of prosecco allowed us to relax into holiday mode immediately. With woodland walks, hot tub and excellent outdoor bbq, Rodgemonts is a wonderful place to stay. We hope to return.
Ashley
Amazing place Amazing people amazing time.
Absolutely stunning place to stay and will stay again in the future
Yvonne
Our stay at Rodgements was fantastic. The cottage was clean and immaculately presented with everything we needed and more. Particularly enjoyed the bbq area, hot tub and grounds. Having the two bedroom annexes was brilliant...giving us space as a family of 6 adults and a baby plenty of space to relax. Our hosts Paul and Val are lovely and nothing was too much trouble for them. The little touches like flowers and flapjacks on arrival were very welcome as was the bottle of Prosecco for Fathers Day. We will definitely be recommending Rodgements and will be returning.
Wonderful time, perfect place to stay, beautiful cottage. Amazing hosts. We will return. Thank you so much.

We loved this barn! A perfect setting for a muchneeded family gettogether the owners Paul and Val went the extra mile to ensure we had everything we needed to make it a 5 star holiday.
Paul and Val were fantastic hosts and the barn had everything you need. The garden is lovely and the woods are a bonus. The location is idyllic and very relaxing, however if you want to visit a beach you need to factor in the journey times as they are not right on the doorstep. We had a fantastic family holiday and would definitely recommend this beautiful barn.
Phillippa
A beautiful converted barn which had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in a wonderful location. The hot tub was a big hit but also the outdoor bbq area which we enjoyed using most evenings. Hosts were fantastic throughout and ensured we had everything we needed. Would highly recommend and hoping to go back!
This property has the wow factor. Great location and the owners Paul and Val went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable.Definitely will be going back. A gem of a find.
We had a lovely time at Rodgemonts Barn, we arrived very late due to a long drive and Paul and Val waited up to make sure we arrived and got settled in. The place far exceeded our expectations, it is a beautiful setting with lots of space for our 4 Children to explore and Enjoy, the Hot tub was great and the BBQ hut was just perfect, I just wish we could have taken that home!!! It felt like the place was brand new, everything was very clean and the facilities were top notch, amazing showers in every room. The separate building with 2 double ensuite rooms worked really well as it gave our 14 year old some space and the grandparents too. We would most certainly go back, Paul and Val were perfect hosts, as a family of 6 it is not always easy to find somewhere that ticks all the boxes but this did and more, 5 star.......
We had a fantastic weeks stay at Rodgemont Barns. The property and facilities are exceptional. Val and Paul the owners are really helpful and welcoming. The hot tub and bbq area is fantastic. Highly recommend.

We had a fantastic break at Rodgemonts Barn. The hosts, Val and Paul were warm and generous and extremely helpful. The space has the perfect mix of hi tech modern living and rural relaxation and exceeded our expectations. it is bigger and more luxurious than it looks in the photos There is a heated outhouse with a BBQ which creates another space to have fun in and we also went in the hot tubevery night and the diningliving space is great for cooking and watching films with stunning views on both sides we saw deer casually strolling about in the garden a few times. I highly recommend this property.
Gareth
Everything was outstanding
I have used holiday cottages across the country for 30 years. Simple, this was the best. Val & Paul were so friendly & helpful. The place itself is jaw dropping amazing. Woodland walks direct from the door, 60 Smart T.V, hot tub. We changed our plans so we could dine in every night, and loved the B.B.Q area with a thatched heated lodge with enough space for 8 to drink, dine & play games. We stayed here until 11pm every night. Also spotlessly clean. We will return.
