An Excellent Barn conversion renovated to a extremely high standard, a credit to the owners. Ideally located for exploring the Devon countryside/beaches. We had an amazing week, enjoying the hot tub, garden with the views at the bottom of the garden. Hope to return in the future.
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 ­ experience. Hide

Beautifully appointed and private, quiet and with lovely views. Great for the dog too p, safe enclosed garden and cosy; generous wood for the log burner and a gorgeous welcome pack. Can see why it gets booked u p months ahead. Thank you so much.

Very special place to stay. Extremely clean and well presented. Comfy bed and nice decent size sofa. Would highly recommend, but then I dont think they would have any vacancies!! Very peaceful location and wonderful that the owners are close by.
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!
Kevin
Amazing!! By far the best place we have stayed and we have holidayed in North Devon for over twenty years!! Facilities are fab, comfy and everything you want is to hand. Gorgeous aesthetic inside and out. The view is amazing and the hot tub just tops it off!! Highly recommend and will definitely return!
