Raman

Everything about this place oozes class. We only stayed a week but would love to have had longer. First trip with our super-charged young Vizsla and we were all so chilled out you could have poured us into a glass. This is a stunning place to stay: both Birdsong Barn and the surrounding area. Olly and Elaine have made something quite special.

Paul

We had the most wonderful time staying at Birdsong Barn. The attention to detail was first class. It was immaculately clean on arrival and we appreciated the welcome gift of cider, biscuits and freshly laid eggs. Our little dog particularly enjoyed the jar of doggy treats left for her too! The kitchen had all the equipment and utensils you possiblyRead more could need and they were all spotlessly clean. The garden and views were stunning. The hot tub and fluffy robes completed the 5 Â experience. Hide

Rafieh

Birdsong Barn is absolutely gorgeous. We had such an amazing week there over Christmas! The owners were so kind, and the barn is so well equipped meaning it was a true home from home. We also couldn't believe how many lovely walks there were nearby - Morte Point and Heddon Valley to name a couple! We were also only 30 minutes away from Woolacombe, which is home to a beautiful, long stretch of sandy beach. 10/10 - we'd love to return to this beautiful location again!

Gorgeous aesthetic inside and out. The view is amazing and the hot tub just tops it off!! Highly recommend and will definitely return!
