A truly exceptional property in an idyllic working farm setting. Fantastic views. Perfect for a get together for friends (like our group) or family.

What a lovely family break! The barn was perfect for us. Far enough away to be secluded and have privacy and get some much needed peace, but central in Devon to be able to go wherever we wanted relatively easily.

Muse Hill Barn was the ideal location for our family 50th Anniversary celebrations. The facilities were all we could have wished for and the kitchen provided the ideal space for our "dine in chef" Our hosts Clare and Ian could not have been more welcoming and being adjacent to a working farm was an added bonus especially at lambing time.
Clinton
Had an amazing stay with extended family. The hosts Clare and Ian were super responsive and happy to help and offer advice.

Victoria
A fantastic house in a beautiful, silent location with lovely places to visit or walk to. The house is great and the hot tubs a brilliant addition. The hosts are very helpful. We would stay again.
Mandy
The barn is very secluded and lies on a working farm. The facilities are amazing, and the hosts Ian and Clare are very welcoming. There are a lot of areas to explore in the area, and when staying closer to home the farm has lovely walks and to relax after a long day, a hot tub looking out over the fields and surrounding countryside. A must stay for friends and family.
Hannah
We had an amazing stay at Musehill Barn, we couldn't have asked for anything more perfect. The property is set up perfectly for a big family crowd such as ourselves (including a wheelchair). The facilities were great and the views were to die for. Clare was also very quick to respond to any of our queries. We would highly recommend this place to fr iends. Thanks for a lovely holiday!
Bernadette
The accommodation is lovely. We were there on a sunny weekend and enjoyed the use of the internet and the hot tub and the bedrooms were all en-suite. There were 6 adults and 6 children aged from 13-3. We had a lovely party using both the large room and patio area. We also went on walks and the owner showed the 2 boys baby owls. We have nothing but positive memories.
Carole
Wonderful! Wonderful property in a wonderful location. Ours was a multigenerational group of 11 adults and we all had a fabulous time making good use of the pool table, hot tub, BBQ and even had success with the pizza oven. Ian and Clare were very friendly and accommodating hosts but hardly knew they were there. Thank you to you both.
Jane
Very good hot tub. Well equipped kitchen. Very peaceful setting lovely to see the new born lambs. A good venue for families or friends
Rebecca
Thank you so much we had the most wonderful stay and would 100% recommend to anyone. The barn is perfect. We loved the wood fire, pool table and hot tub. The kitchen was really well stocked with everything we needed including an American fridge/freezer with the water and ice machine. The holiday was absolutely made by Ian taking the time to take th e little one onto the farm including lambing, a tractor and trailer ride, he couldnt stop talking about it. Thank you again!
Tracy
What a prefect location for a getaway in the countryside! The accommodation was fantastic, as were the hosts. Every little detail had been thought of in the barn to make the stay enjoyable. The kids (and grownups!) loved the clay pigeon shooting, tractor & buggy rides in the fields with an added bonus of visiting the animals. Add in the hot tub and pool table and you had everything you needed to ensure a perfect stay with the most beautiful views for miles! Highly recommend!
Bryan
We had a fantastic Family Christmas at Muse Hill Barn. Six adults and 5 children. The barn was beautifully decorated for Christmas. There is so much space that you can slip away for some quiet time or enjoy the large family area with the TV and log burner. The pool table was a real hit and was in constant use and the hot tub was fantastic. The big boys and little boys played some energetic football on the gravel as the grass was a bit too wet. Ian & Clare were the perfect hosts. We'll be back!
Anthony
Beautiful everything you and plenty more lots and lots off space 100% recommend .
Stuart
Excellent break from start to finish for all 10 of us. The owners were very friendly and helpful if we needed anything including some fresh vegetables! The location of the house, the space we all had and the overall holiday we couldn't fault and will definitely book again in the future.
Ian
Brilliant accommodation. Great rooms and lovely open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area!! Stunning country side views from the Barn and the Hot tub!! Ian and Clare are brilliant - nothing is too much trouble. We all loved helping 'top' the field on the tractor and the Farm Tour - highlights of the week. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Lesley
In spite of wet and cold weather we had a fantastic week in this beautiful property overlooking countryside with walks direct from the door. Very well equipped and comfortable for 12 people. Hot tub and snooker table welcome additions and enjoyed by all ages. Property is accessible for wheelchairs with a large ensuite on the ground floor and ramped access to the patio area. Situated a short distance from the local pub/restaurant, supermarket, 45 minutes to nearest beach. Excellent hosts.

Muse Hill Barn is an exceptional property with everything provided to allow a relaxing break. Amazing location, with great walks and if required Devons beaches only a 45 minute drive away.

A fabulous place for a family gathering. All bedrooms have comfortable beds and en suites. The living area is huge with lots of comfortable sofas, a huge tv, table that easily seats 12 and plenty of room for the pool table.

The hot tub was enjoyed by adults and children alike.

Excellent all round. A great place to gather and relax. Everything you need is there and more. Hosts are amazing and easily contactable if needed. Plenary of variety for walking and things to do around about. We stayed in early December for an early family Xmas gathering and the barn was decorated beautifully for our stay and complimentary too. We cant recommend enough and will definitely return.
