We had a wonderful stay & would love to return again one day. We were 2 families staying with 5 children and the space worked so well. The barn was well equipped, immaculately clean & everything was finished to a high standard. The owners were so welcoming and friendly. The outdoor space and views are wonderful, the children especially enjoyed the hot tub! Lots of lovely places & beaches to visit a short drive away, crabbing in Appledore & hiring bikes from Bideford for the Tarka Trail were fun!

Sian
Priestacott Tithe barn is a fabulous space for a holiday. Beautifully appointed and provided with an amazing range of kitchen equipment it is perfect for large groups or families who know each other well., all rooms bar one are very generously sized and all have en suites, with a cloakroom as well. Two rooms are mezzanine which means sound travels to and from them but the occupants still slept well. The barn is beautifully decorated, has comfy seating for 12 in the lounge and dining room.
Rebecca
What an amazing property, in a beautiful location, run by helpful, kind people. We couldnt fault our stay. The barn is way bigger than expected; the kitchen is the particular highlight as it never became crowded even with all of us in it. My favourite part was sitting in the hot tub every evening watching the stars. Ruth has thought of everything a nd the house is very well equipped, even with things like black out blinds and steps for children. We cant wait to come back soon!
Christine
My husband & I & our group of friends stayed for a long weekend at Priestacott. What a beautiful property this is! Every room is decorated to a very high standard.

Bedrooms, beds, linen, showers all of a very good standard. Ruth was very welcoming and easy to contact. Thoroughly recommend.

Wow! We were really impressed with the barn.. Ideal for family get togethers. Spotlessly clean, and really well equipped., cant recommend highly enough. Ken & Ruby
Graham
What a fantastic place. I can't fault anything. For a large family gathering it's ideal. It's massive inside, the kitchen is huge and you can get lost in the other parts of the barn. Hot tub with views of dartmoor, a garden for the little ones to run around in. Big parking area and loads of great places within easy reach, beaches, surfing, hiking. Value for money and memories that will last forever. Thank you.
Rachel
We absolutely loved this house and the views were stunning. We had all we needed to cater for our family group of 12 and the hosts were really helpful, very friendly and gave us a warm welcome. We cannot fault this property and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone who wanted to get away from it all and just properly relax. Thankyou well be bac k!
Meralyn
The photos on the website (although very good) doesn't do the property justice. It was absolutely a beautiful barn conversion and everything you could need was there. It was spotlessly clean and there was ample room for all of us to chill out. The children particularly loved the hot tub and seeing the sheep. We would all love to stay again.
