North Gate Stable Reviews

Peter
Beautiful luxurious cottage, extremely clean with all the amenities you require! Heated floor and shower/bath were lovely and WI-FI was good enough to stream TV on. Location was beautiful and hosts really friendly and kind. The animals on site are an added bonus too especially Eric the pig!
Deborah
Lovely cottage, great location & friendly helpful owners. We loved the animals, the hot tub & the dog running field. Definitely would recommend as a great place to spend a relaxing holiday.
Wayne
Open plan single floor old stable building. Laid out very well and very spacious. Stone floors throughout which is a bonus when you have dogs. Very close to two main roads for easy access to the surrounding area, but set back away from the road in peaceful surroundings.

The location is great for exploring. We really enjoyed our morning visit form Clive the cat who always joined us for breakfast and taking our food waste over to tRead morehe pigs. This place is a joy to stay at I can't fault it in any way. Thank you Graham and Julie for another wonderful holiday stay. Hide

The grounds of the manor are all beautifully kept and you can walk wherever and look around..nice to meet the farm animals too!!

This was one of the best properties we have stayed at. Lovely high beams, really great bathroom, kitchen and bedroom and well stocked with equipment. The owner had put a lot of thought into it.

Ron
Just book your stay you wont be disappointed in any way! We couldn't have wished for anything better or indeed anything more from our stay here. We needed a relaxing break from our busy working lives with our 2 dogs. Super hot tub to relax away the evenings after long days visiting the many nearby beauty spots. Recommend Tarr Steps and Wollacombe b each in particular. Julie our host made us feel so very welcome and nothing was too much trouble, felt like we made a friend rather than met a host.
Laura
The accommodation was cosy and welcoming. It was well equipped with everything you needed for your holiday, the beds were really comfortable. The location is perfect for exploring a lovely part of Devon, it was close to all amenities including a brilliant farmers market and great pubs. The hosts were fantastic, friendly and welcoming. Nothing was t oo much trouble and they happily introduced our children to the various animals they have on location. Which was a wonderful family experience.

The animals, especially the baby goats and little Eric were fabulous. Jacuzzi was well used. Cake and tea on arrival. Julie and family were very welcoming and friendly. Julie also helped us tremendously as my dad injured himself and gave us some great advice. Would definitely recommend. Fab location to lots of different areas in Devon.

Prosecco, chocolates and cake when we arrived. The cottage is spotless, spacious and perfectly equipped. Very comfortable beds, good hot water pressure, and the heated floors are excellent if you want to visit in the colder months. Location is great for either Exmoor, the coast or local attractions. The owners were lovely and around to show the chi ldren the animals in the farm, which they loved, specially Georgie the sheep!. We will definitely go back!

Just returned from a lovely week at Stable Barn. The barn is well furnished and very comfy and spotlessly clean. The fenced garden was ideal for our puppy to play out in. Many thanks to Julie and Graham who were excellent hosts, very friendly and helpful but not intrusive. We loved seeing all the animals and feeding them scraps. The weather was a b it wet and windy at times but we headed for the coast most days where it was sunny. All in all a great break away.

This is a gem of a property nestled in a stunning part of the country. An excellently equipped and comfortable base for touring the local area.

We cannot recommend this highly enough

Abigail
Amazing accommodation and owners. We had everything we could possibly need for a self catering holiday and the property (and hot tub) were immaculately clean. The prosecco, chocolates and mince pies were a lovely touch and went down very nicely! This is a great place to stay for easy access to lots of great places but you could also just enjoy the grounds and the lovely animals
Vasile
I would highly recommend it! The cottage is clean, the kitchen equipped with necessary cutlery, plates and pots. If you are looking for a quiet place for holidays or a change of scenario from the city life this is the place.
Rachel
Wow! What an amazing place. We had the most amazing week here, we were so sad to leave. Such a lovely warm welcome by the owner when we arrived. There's so many places nearby to explore. We were recommended to go to Tarr Steps by the owner and so glad he did, it was so beautiful. I would highly recommend going to see the valley of the rocks and Sau nton sands too. Couldn't recommend this place enough, so peaceful, surrounded by beautiful countryside and the owners are just so lovely.
