Bydown Barn Reviews

Grace

Fantastic stay at Bydown barn, amazing location, excellent cottage/barn. Our hosts were very polite and welcoming and told about the area and places we could go to (which we did and we loved). 100% will be going again and definitely will bring my dog with us next time. Thank you so much again.

Lucy

Overall, the property was cosy and clean, and the hosts both extended a warm welcome. The surrounding landscape was beautiful and the barn was cosy. However, it should be made much clearer that the property is literally on the owner's frequented driveway next to the main house. The balcony overlooks the kid's play area. Overall less private than exRead morepected. Also, there was no separate bathroom at all - it's all one room with a bedroom. There was also no storage space for clothes (only one rail). Hide

Ali-rae

An incredible place with beautiful design that matches the beauty of the surroundings. The hosts are friendly / available as needed without feeling like they are in your space. Great location for enjoying Devon and to feel like you're in the countryside. Would highly recommend!

Alastair

Fantastic place to stay to relax and unwind

Tracy

Had a lovely stay but would not say dog friendly. We always take our dog when we go for weekends away but this was the least dog friendly place we have stayed and I wouldnt recommend to my friends with dogs Owners live on site and were very friendly on arrival but be aware their house is very close so if you are looking for privacy this is probablyRead more not the right place We had a lovely stay and the accommodation is nice but for the price not the high end we expected Hide

Eleanor

We had a wonderful stay in this charming characterful cottage. The surrounding fields and scenic view were peaceful and pure bliss. The cottage was a great place to relax and unwind. Me and my partner thoroughly enjoyed our stay. However it was not at all mentioned anywhere that we would be staying on the hosts family residence. Nick, Jen and the cRead morehildren gave us a very warm welcome and made sure we were comfortable/well connected to the surrounding areas. All in all a wonderful trip away. Hide

Tracey

Really lovely barn. Jen and Nick were very friendly and gave us plenty of ideas and places to visit. The location of the Barn was perfect too, nothing was to far away for days out. We would definitely recommend Bydown Barn. Thank you Jen & Nick for making our holiday perfect. Tracey & Gary Glover.

David

Beautiful building in a beautiful location. Silent at night, just the hoot of an owl to be heard. Spent lovely dark, starry nights in a secluded bubbly hot tub. The hosts are a lovely family & there for us if we needed anything. The barn seems basic at first but for us, had everything we needed. Had some lovely walks & drives around the county.

Samantha

We was unlucky with the weather but not unlucky with this holiday. Really lovely hosts, we made the most of the hot tub, one of the nicest ones weve been in. Location is close to many different places as long as you dont mind the country roads. Really lovely place to stay, bed was comfortable and considering it was dog friendly my allergies where nRead moreot triggered which is a credit to the hosts cleanliness I think. Ill second what someone else said about the lack of privacy with the toilet. Hide

Paul

Had a 2 night stay at the end of July We wish it was longer as we had a wonderful stay The property was comfortable and full of character Nick and Jen were great hosts and went out of there way to make our stay comfortable They gave us great tips on places to visit in the area If your looking for a unique place to stay in wonderful surroundings I c ouldn't recommend this more highly

Emma

We loved our stay at Bydown Barn. It had everything we needed and the hot tub was an added bonus! The owners were helpful, kind and accommodating. It was lovely to be able to take the dog with us as well. The barn is in a beautiful rural setting and it was lovely to hear the cows and sheep in the morning! We would definitely come back again to stay . Thank you.

Storm

Fantastic little slice of country side paradise! Remote, but not too isolated. Spacious, quiet and comfy. Amazing hot tub. Brilliant hosts and very dog friendly. 10/10 would visit again.

Julie

If you want a relaxing environment, rest and a piece of paradise with fantastic views. This is the place to be. The barn is stunning and extremely comfortable

Cheuk man

The stay was amazing, we were warmly greeted by Nick and Jenny as we came into the barn. The Barn itself is very spacious, modern and clean. Very nice area and very convenient as it was ~30 minutes drive to bideford and westward ho beach and ~15 minutes to supermarkets. The hosts, Nick and Jenny (and their dog Dexter) was very friendly and accommod ating making sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Highly recommend this stay and will come again if the chance pops up!

Joseph

Fabulous place to stay, loved everything. Great location, recommended!

Lee-Ellen

Absolutely gorgeous stunning little country escape. I adored my time there, you could stay at the cabin and not leave the whole stay. If you wanted too. Take a supplies with you, a great kitchen, strong efficient oven! You have everything you might need to cook. The design is just fab a super comfy bed. The perfect setting for unwinding and distres sing.

Steven Jay

Fabulous place to stay but for couples you need to be comfortable with each other as there isn't much privacy for toilet times apart from that I wouldn't change a thing

Martin

Fantastic location and owners were lovely and very helpful

Georgina

Bydown barn was such a lovely place to stay. The owners Nick&Jen were so attentive and kind. Would definitely recommend!

Molly

Lovely little place for a getaway - very quiet and tranquil. Hosts were very helpful with suggestions of places to visit. Hopefully, will be returning!

Graham

Great place, comfortable, peaceful didnt need for anything. Nick & Jan really friendly and helpful great recommendations on where to visit and eat. And I mustnt forget Dexter the dog who is happy to come and say hello and have a belly rub. And a biscuit x Thanks Guys, we had a great time.

Linda

The owners gave us a warm welcome and live close by. We loved the cottage's quirky rustic style. The Victorian spiral staircase was a beautiful feature for example. Some luxuries were also included such as an enameled slipper bath, a very comfortable bed with quality linen duvet cover and pillowcases. The lounge-settee and flooring were also high e nd luxury items. Set in the rolling hilly meadows of rural Devon but only a short drive from coastal areas and lively towns/villages with loads to do

Elizabeth

The hosts were amazing. Beautiful property and location, once you get used to the roads in Devon. The bed in the property is great, best sleep we have had in a long time, helped by the lack of noise and no street lights A great pub in walking distance. We travelled all over the north of Devon and into Cornwall. Travelled to Lynton and Lynmouth, Ilf racombe, Clovelly, Tintagel Castle, Sandiford vineyards, all within 1 hours drive. Would recommend the curry on the beach in Woolacombe.

Gary

A fantastic barn conversion in an idyllic spot. Nick and Jen were wonderful hosts who went out of their way to ensure everything was OK. Will hopefully revisit soon.

Lesley

Cottage was so nice and we had a relaxing stay. Owners were lovely and helpful, nothing too much trouble. We found lots of things to do within a fairly short distance of where we were staying. Would definitely recommend x

shawn

Beautiful setting, lovely property and helpful hosts.

Jules

Hosts Jenny and Nick were fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble. The accommodation was extremely comfortable.

David

Really great place to stay, not too far from the coast and other places to go, clean, comfy and the hosts were very nice and welcoming.

Caroline

Lovely barn conversion very tasfully done felt like no expense spared ,. A shame the barn isnt facing the fields and the sun doesnt reach balcony so evening when we hoped to sit in golden hour it was shaded and chilly , a broom for deck would be great to sweep leaves away so you can walk on decking with out bringing back in half a tree .if we were to stay again we would request the lodge which is more isolated south facing and has a hot tub ,barn not suitable for hot tub as no sun on balcony
