We all had a lovely stay in this wonderful property. Perfect for a big family get together and the dog loved it as well. Everyone was very impressed with the place and lovely surroundings. The enclosed garden/ drive was a real bonus so we didnt need to worry about letting the dog out to play.

Lynne

Amazing holiday cottage!! The beds were so comfortable and they supplied us with a cot and a next to me crib for my 5 months old granddaughter. Very large bedrooms and bathrooms with very good facilities. Everything you need. We were a family of six adults and a baby and all our needs were catered for. We all really enjoyed the hot tub. Nearest towRead moren was Coombe Martin which was beautiful and had a very useful Co-op supermarket. Visited the Wildlife and Dinosaur Park Close to house, Amazing!!!! Hide

Wendy

We have just returned from a week at the shearing shed. It is by far the best equipped holiday home we have ever stayed in. The hot tub was amazing and the obvious welcome for our 2 dogs was brilliant. Everything has been thought about which made our stay even more special. If you get the chance book the shearing shed, you will not regret it.

Paul

Beautiful cottage, good location to get to attractions and beaches.Cottage has everything we needed and more. The hot tub was used everyday.This is our 2nd year coming to the Shearing Shed as our 2 grandsons love it here. The cottage is so spacious and was perfect for our family of 4 adults and 2 children.

Yve

This is a lovely cottage its well equipped and very clean, its is situated on a farm and feels remote, however having said that its not far from Combe Martin where there are some good pubs for food particularly The Pack of Cards, which also has a nice garden. Would recommend this cottage especially if you have a dog as they are well catered for by Read morethe owner . Hide

Sue

Fantastic cottage, one of the best cottages I've stayed in

Russell

Amazing stay for our family of 5 plus dog cottage is well equipped , spacious and very clean and well kept . Beds are very comfortable and bedrooms are well decorated to a high standard. Highly recommended stay.

Holly

We spent a wonderful four nights at the Shearing Shed. It was the most spacious and comfortable holiday rental weve ever stayed in! It had everything we needed. It was so warm and cosy, and having the hot tub to jump into after a blustery day out was amazing. The area was quite quiet as it was out of season, but we really loved spending time explorRead moreing the local beaches and villages. Hide

Lauren

Lovely place in a lovely location. We had a great time using all amenities. Our dog loved the grounds surrounding the property and, the dog blankets and treats were a lovely touch.

Sara

Beautiful, well presented cottage. We had a very wet week in Devon, it was lovely to come back to a very warm, spacious cottage with a hot tub. The horses, cats, sheep, dogs all came to visit (in the field adjoining the property) during the week which entertained our two dogs! If you are looking for fish and chips by the sea, in winter season IlfraRead morecombe is your best bet! Generally a lovely quiet cottage, especially with the windows shut, minimal firework disruption for the dogs! Hide

Kirsty

This is our second visit. We loved it so much we came back again and it didnt disappoint. The beautiful personal touches for Halloween made it feel even more homely and special. We will definitely be booking again

Justyna

We have just spent a week at the Shearing Shed. I think its safe to say we all loved the cottage! Its spacious, well equipped and very clean. Big, well kept garden. It felt like home away from home. The welcome hamper and dogs beds and blankets very a lovely surprise. The hot tub was superb and very needed after a day of exploring. Samantha and MelRead more were great hosts, nothing was too much trouble. We had a wonderful stay and would most definitely recommend the Shearing Shed to friends and family Hide

Alan

Absolutely Fabulous! Superb standard of holiday accommodation and, whilst somewhat out of the way, in terms of local amenities, it was a great base for exploring the north Devon coast.

Michael

Exceptionally comfortable accommodation in a very peaceful setting. Spotlessly clean with many thoughtful touches throughout. Would definitely return!

Luke

Was very well looked after, Thankyou very much. Would stay again xx

Duncan

The Shearing Shed is a lovely place to stay just outside Combe Martin. It is in a great location with easy access to the surrounding areas of Exmoor, Ilfracombe, Woolacombe, Saunton Sands and Barnstaple. The property itself is big and spacious with plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 children. It is maintained to a high standard and is very comfortab le with a big garden, plenty of space to park and a great hot tub. We had a great time and would happily go back again.

Emma

Just stayed for a week in July. Beautiful house, perfectly located for exploring the area and a relaxing break. So much to do in all weathers. Our kids loved the 2hr guided sea kayaking at Surfside (Combe Martin) (theyre aged 14 and 16) (book early). Dog beaches; Westward Ho! (car park at Northam Burrows Park), Saunton Sand. Dunster castle & villag e (via Porlock Wier), Lynton and Lynmouth incl Valley of the rocks. Great visitors centre in Combe Martin. Recommend the Sawmills for food.

Duncan

A great cottage with the added bonus of a hot tub (if that's your thing) Access is easy with a large parking area. The location is not great as its on the edge of a farm yard which has multiple mobile homes located on it which make lots of noise.So if you want a nice quiet secluded place to stay then this isn't it! Generally the place is great and very large and spacious. Facilities were good and a nice little welcome pack when we arrived. Not sure we stay again due to the noise.

Tim

beautiful inside and out

Dean

Just returned from a week in the shearing shed, what a place in the most wonderful picturesque setting! Everything was faultless from cleanliness to equipment provided. This really is a gem of a place to stay if your looking for a relaxing holiday and we will definitely return for another visit. Also great to have a large enclosed garden for the do g to run around. Overall fantastic place and great value.

Paul

Lovely cottage, well equipped. Beautiful location. It was perfect for 4 adults and 2 children age 7 and 3 lots of space. Bedrooms beautifully decorated. Hot tub was lovely and was perfect at the end of the day to chill in. Garden was brilliant for our grandsons to play in safely.We were there for 2 weeks and we had new towels and bedding for our 2n d week. We are thinking of booking again for next year.

Stephanie

We were all so happy with the cottage. The amenities were spot on, everything thought about down to the smallest detail. The house and garden was spotlessly clean, and beautifully presented Layout is lovely, the setting is gorgeous, and the garden is secure, which was important for us with a toddler. The house is spacious and beautifully done and w e made full use of all the facilities. Everybody had a wonderful holiday, huge thanks to Samatha and Mel, and the care they took of everything :)

Ann

Lovely property clean and comfortable, Ideal situation, and plenty of room

Gill

Lovely location and beautiful house and enclosed private garden ideal for families with small children and pets.Hot tub was great and easy to use. Great for me to do exercises in as rehabing from a serious illness.

Jamie

Lovely place and very spacious. Log burner and hot tub really make the place. Very impressive round the clock heating and space for dogs and children to play however, I would Request for the hot tub to be prepped the day before arrival and put at 38 degrees as we lost out on the first day. Our autistic child didn't understand it was too cold to ent er the first day WiFi not great either so ensure plenty of data on phones. I work from home so this was quite important for us We would stay again

Pam

We would not recommend this cottage as we want it to be a secret and available for us to visit again.

Stefan

Book this property now! You will be thrilled when you arrive. It's beautiful, so spacious, spotlessly clean and has literally everything you need! Had the best time staying here. The hot tub is superb! Clean as a whistle and so relaxing. The views from the property are stunning. Absolutely loved our stay here and will definitely be back soon! Owner s are very helpful and friendly so would 100% recommend.

Robin

Dont look any further this is the property you want spacious, clean, plenty of options to do around and a great place to take a deserved break.

Just spent a totally relaxing week at the Shearing Shed. The property has everything we needed. Maybe more wardrobe and drawer space in all bedrooms, but for 2 of us it was fine. Second time we have stayed there and would love to return again

Tracy

I would recommend this property within any hesitation at all to anyone. It was absolutely fabulous and you literally could have just moved in as everything you could possibly require was provided and to a high standard. The property itself was spotless wit beautiful linen/ bath towels etc. We would definitely stay here again if visiting the area a gain.

Lovely, clean and comfortable property. Great setting and lovely outdoor space.

Would book this property again. Family of 4 (kids aged 11 and 4)

We had a great week at the Shearing Shed! The accommodation was brilliant, very clean, well equipped and beautifully finished. The welcome pack was very kind and much appreciated and was a nice touch. The biggest hit with the teens though was the hot tub! Will definitely be back for a stay!!

A wonderful place to stay. My family of 4 (2 children) enjoyed the peace and quiet and the house is only a 10 - 20 minute drive from most things. If youre new to the area and you have day of nice weather, check out Woolacombe Beach... just stunning!
