Paul September 2024

“Lovely quiet retreat with very attentive owners as and if needed.”

Only frustration was the lack of WiFi despite being advertised.

- Paul, September 2024

Note: WiFi can be picked up from the garden and the main bedroom however signal strength varies Hi, Lovely meeting you all and I understand your comment regarding the WIFI. We do state in the cottage description (copy of what is stated above) it is an ongoing issue which we discussed. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your holiday here in sunny Devon. All the best Maggi Property Owner
Neil August 2024

“All was wonderful and had everything we could possibly need.”

Weather let us down for one day so found ourselves stuck indoors, with only the TV for company, however the signal was terrible. Shower in wet room had a leak and left room smelling a bit damp, so never used it and only used Bathroom. But never stopped us having a great stay.

- Neil, August 2024
Ashleigh August 2024

“The property is situated in a beautiful place and is very clean, as previous reviews have mentioned the roads are very narrow and big pot holes but this is no fault of the owners.”

The only issue we had was the double bed creaked whenever you moved and it kept us awake at night and our baby so we didn’t get much sleep, the sofas weren’t particularly comfortable and was a bit outdated. The owners were very friendly and the surrounding areas are lovely. WIFI as stated isn’t very good but we weren’t at the property much we were out and about so no issue and does good to have some phone free time! Over all a lovely place .

- Ashleigh, August 2024
Claire August 2024

“Billy's barn is in a lovely location, very dog friendly.”

Fully enclosed garden and a lovely big field to walk the dogs.The accommodation was clean and had plenty of amenities. Just a couple of negatives, sofas were not like the ones pictured on the website, and we're not very comfortable, the double bed in the main bedroom was a bit creaky and too small for us, but we just asked for the twin beds in the other bedroom to be made into a queen size, and also the WiFi was very hit and miss. Overall, we had a lovely stay at Billy's barn.

- Claire, August 2024

Thank you for your feed back, we are glad that you enjoyed some of your stay. The settees were changed earlier in the year because I had feedback the others were not comfortable. Finding seating that pleases all is difficult and the majority say they are comfortable. The description states that we have a double bed and two single with the option of the zip link is always available, which you requested . I will check the creaky bit on the bed. The wifi is an issue for all of us in the countryside and we continue to hope that the company that promised us fibre two years ago will find us one day. Thank you for highlighting the regulations on charging EV's from the cottage it is something we need to be clear on for insurance purposes. Best wishes Maggi Property Owner
Sunny August 2024

“Billy’s Barn is a great cottage rurally located and very quiet.”

It is situated on a lovely farm and the hosts Maggi and Charlie and very helpful and friendly. There are lovely beaches nearby our favourites were Duckpool and Sandymouth and Bude is not too far in the car. The cottage is comfortable and homely with all you need. WiFi is sporadic so you might not get any connectivity, but other than that a wonderful stay.

- Sunny, August 2024
Libby August 2024

“We loved our stay at Billy’s Barn, it was perfect for our stay with a younger family.”

We loved the fact that the barn had an enclosed garden and we could give the dog a good run around in the field. It was clean and tidy and comfortable for all our needs.

- Libby, August 2024

Thank you for your feedback. Lovely meeting you all and glad you got sunshine! All the best Maggi Property Owner

William July 2024

“Excellent accommodation had a really great stay at the property.”

Billy’s barn was nice and peaceful a good place to relax also ideal for 3 year old granddaughter and dogs to play. Billy’s barn is within easy reach of the coast and excellent beaches, Maggi and Charlie were excellent hosts and we will definitely be back in the future highly recommended.

- William, July 2024

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. It is so nice to hear that you all enjoyed your stay and we look forward to seeing you all again one day. All the best Maggi Property Owner

“This is a fantastic house I would give it 12 out of 10 it's that good home from ...”

This is a fantastic house I would give it 12 out of 10 it's that good home from home the WiFi was not that good but it did us some good to be away from it if you sat in bedroom it was fine best thing they had a Reclining chair so was like home for me, there is a cafe on site very nice, the only thing nothing to do with cottage the roads were terrible lots of potholes you need something like a suv or bigger for the roads

- Dorothy, June 2024

Thank you for your lovely feedback. It was so nice meeting you both and I am so glad you enjoyed your stay. I am glad you enjoyed The Hive Cafe (it has the best signal somehow!) The wifi and potholes are out of my control but I am sure beautiful Devon makes up for it. All the very best Maggi Property Owner

Janet June 2024

“Lovely spacious cottage in the heart of beauiful countryside lots to see and do nearby ,we especially loved the Tamar lakes long quiet walks with the dog minutes away by car and the local village of Bradworthy has all you need , butchers general store etc.”

The cottage has an enclosed lawn for humans and dog alike , it was very clean and well presented would highly recommend.

- Janet, June 2024

Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay here in beautiful Devon. Tamar Lakes are very beautiful and we are so lucky to have them nearby. All the best to you both Maggi Property Owner
Jackie May 2024

“Billys Barn is a excellent getaway, stunning views, our 2 doggies loved sitting and watching the chickens wandering past the large window, Maggie and Charlie, the owners were lovely and their home was situated to the rear of Billy's Barn which was reassuring if you needed them, there was a large field where we could take our dogs for a walk and it was nice to let them run about in the enclosed garden while we sat and chilled, the shower in the en-suite was luxurious and the kitchen was very well stocked.”

the only niggles I had was no internet, I was looking forward to relaxing in the evening with my favourite hobby, genealogy, nor could I connect to listen to my talking books, due to my sight loss the Alexa I brought along didn't work and of course the smart TV could only access limited channels, there was no electric fire as advertised but it was warm enough without it, a DVD is advertised but this is attached to the small TV in the bedroom, however I would definitely return and I would bring my own CD player with me for the evenings, overall I would highly recommend. I must add though and this is of no fault of the owners but the narrow roads around Devon were more pothole than road.

- Jackie, May 2024

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay here in beautiful Devon. I am sorry the limited access to the Internet impacted on your use of technology. We do state that the best access is the main bedroom and the garden. We continue to hope that we as community here will get better access one day. The fire was removed due to being out dated and most people turn the heating on as required. We did invest in a new TV recently and found that the DVD player was not compatible. Thank you for high lighting the need to update our property description. The pot holes continue to be an issue and we all look forward to the roads getting mended one day. It was lovely meeting you and look forward to your return one day. All the best Maggi Property Owner
Aisha April 2024

“Nothing was to much trouble for the owners.”

They were very helpful and we lived our stay.

- Aisha, April 2024

Thank you for your feedback, it was so nice meeting you all and I hope you will return one day. All the best Maggi Property Owner
Linda March 2024

“We had a lovely week at Billy's Barn.”

After being let down at very short notice by another holiday cottage provider we found last minute availability at the above property in Devon. Maggi, owner, ensured the cottage was ready for us and thankfully allowed us to salvage our week away. We and our 2 labradors had a fantastic time exploring the beautiful beaches and small villages/towns of north Devon and into Cornwall. The barn is cozy, bright and very comfortable - a perfect home from home and the garden was great for the dogs to have a mooch in. WiFi reception was very poor due the the barn being so rural but the owners were upfront about this as they were about the many potholes to be found on the small roads in the locality. Devon Council really needs to sort these out asap. Maggi and Charlie were great hosts - not intrusive but there if you needed them. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in rural Devon at Billy's Barn.

- Linda, March 2024

Thank you for your lovely feedback and we are so glad you enjoyed your time here in Beautiful Devon. The WIFI is an ongoing issue for us all and we look forward to a new provider coming one day! last heard it was going to be 2023! As for the pot holes, I hope the council will listen to the concerns of us all. Lovely meeting you both and your very well behaved beautiful labs. All the best Maggi and Charlie Property Owner
Andrew October 2023

“The beautiful looking property is starting to look tired due to lack of maintenance and short cuts being taken by the owner.”

The duvet, covers and pillows in the main bedroom need immediate replacement. We wouldn't use these for our dogs beds. The sofa's are cheap and uncomfortable. The outside garden was scruffy - grass too long and needed cutting - picking up dog poo difficult. Wooden garden furnish old and very damp - not maintained with regular wood treatment. All the weeds outside the main door doesn't look good - we don't buy the excuse about feeding the bees. Your promotional pictures don't show all the weeds. We felt uncomfortable about the proximity of your property to the holiday cottage - we felt like we were being watched. Example - you came around in a flash because our dogs were off lead whilst getting into our car to go out. This wasn't handled very well. On day of departure your cleaner parked up at exactly 10am outside the front door - we were almost finished but this pressure isn't a good look. We travel within the UK regularily on cottage holidays and this was our worst experience. I just got the impression that the owner couldn't really be bothered and was just going through the motions. My comments may appear bad but we moved onto our second cottage immediately after Billy's Barn the there was a massive difference in quality and friendliness from the owners.

- Andrew, October 2023

All Feed back is important to us. We do request dogs are kept on a lead around the farm because we have animals. A field is provided to exercise dogs and all details are in the information folder in the cottage. This has highlighted the need for more signage, thank you. Best wishes Maggi Property Owner
Rachel October 2023

“My husband and I had a very relaxing stay at Billy’s Barn, which was easy to find following the sat nav.”

The cottage was lovely and clean, everything you could ask for, for a peaceful retreat. Maggi greeted us on arrival and gave us such a warm welcome and tips on places to visit. Sandymouth Bay is a definite must to visit with breathtaking views. The local pub Bradworthy Inn is also a must to visit with friendly staff and you couldn’t fault the food or service. A special thank you Maggi.

- Rachel, October 2023

Thank you so much for your great feedback, it was lovely meeting you both. It is always good to hear the local pub was enjoyed, we are so lucky to have so many different businesses just down the road. I hope you have a wonderful time on your big holiday next year! Best wishes Maggi Property Owner
Jacqueline September 2023

“Property was lovely, it was very tricky to find due to one track un named roads to property.”

Quite isolated location with not very good WiFi connection so would not be ideal for youngsters. Thank you Maggie for being warm and welcoming.

- Jacqueline, September 2023

Thank you for your feedback and I am glad you enjoyed Billy's Barn. We are rural and I do try to direct guests here as SATNAV does work for some but not all. I will put maps back in the cottages to help. The wifi is very patchy at the moment and we really do hope that the works going on round this area will improve connection very soon. Best wishes Maggi Property Owner
Sheila September 2023

“The high satisfaction rating was despite the weather - high winds and torrential rain for most of our stay.”

nevertheless we had a restful time and loved sitting looking at the view from the large picture window. It was a shame that we couldn't make use of the garden.

- Sheila, September 2023

It was so lovely meeting you both and glad you found your stay relaxing. The weather is very unpredictable this year which is a shame. Hope you will both return and you get the chance to enjoy Devon in the sunshine. All the very best Maggi Property Owner
Bridget September 2023

“This property was delightful in all respects and a credit to the owners.”

The setting is ideal and peaceful and we were looked after and advised by the owners when needed, and our stay was great. The cottage has everything you could possibly need to a very high and modern standard.

- Bridget, September 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. It was so nice meeting you both and we will definitely check out Ramblers Rest. Best wishes Maggi and Charlie Property Owner
Andrew August 2023

“We had a lovely holiday at Billy’s Barn.”

Everything in the accommodation was perfectly attended too and there was a good range of utensils, crocks, towels, etc and much appreciated tea, coffee, biscuits, milk and juice on arrival. The location is very peaceful and though as we wanted it is slightly off the beaten track everything we needed was easily in reach in 20 minutes. The Butchers in the village (Bradworthy) is recommended as is the pub, though didn’t have time to eat there. It was lovely to sit in the evening sun with a G&T looking over the rolling hills in the garden. Overall a very welcoming and well maintained Barn. The local area is great and we would certainly consider a return visit.

- Andrew, August 2023

Thank you so much for your feedback. I am so glad you enjoyed your stay and that you had some lovely weather. We hope you will return one day to explore more of this beautiful part of the world. Best wishes Maggi Property Owner
Simon August 2023

“Lovely barn in a breathtaking surroundings, very clean with spotless bathrooms and kitchen, super comfy beds.”

A nice sized garden with chairs and a table to sit at. Landlady very kind and helpful. Really enjoyed having the large window in the lounge area as you can just sit and enjoy the view and watch nature do its thing. The roads in and out of the area are very run down with potholes everywhere, and mainly single lane roads, but this seems to be a theme around north Devon as some of the roads are atrocious, I've never seen roads so poorly maintained, obviously this is out of the control of the owners but just beware as my car bottomed out a few times. The internet never really worked for us and the TV could do with updating to a smart TV but then internet seems to be a bit unavailable. All in all a great stay, and I'd recommend if your ok dealing with the roads.

- Simon, August 2023

Thank you for your feedback, glad you enjoyed your stay. The roads are in need of repair and we all hope they will be dealt with soon. The Internet is also something we are hoping will be boosted when airband are in the area. Best wishes Maggi Property Owner
Michael July 2023

“Lovely property Lovely owners Lovely views Very pet friendly Lack of internet.”

Although this would not normally be an issue, due to bad weather meant it would have been useful. However , we understand that this is out off their control and they tried their best to improve the situation

- Michael, July 2023
Susan July 2023

“We had a very lovely relaxing holiday.”

the barn was warm and a lot of home comforts, Maggi was around if we needed anything, Had great nights sleeps. we would not hesitate on booking the barn again

- Susan, July 2023
Patricia June 2023

“Lovely cottage, the extra field for walking our dog was a really nice touch.”

Watching the barn owls hunt for their young was fun to watch.

- Patricia, June 2023
Sarah June 2023

“Wonderful cottage and so quiet & peaceful.”

The animals are great to see and very amusing .Maggie & Charlie were great host always on site but not intrusive.The welcome pack was a lovely touch. Would highly recommend this holiday cottage.

- Sarah, June 2023
Elisa May 2023

“My family and I had a fabulous time at Billy's Barn.”

It was close to everything we need and wanted. We were lucky with the weather also which made the stay even better. Will definitely recommend and book again. Thanks, Maggi

- Elisa, May 2023
Michael May 2023

“The property was excelent, it was warm and had large comfortable beds.”

There was a good view from the large picture window and a well equipped kitchen area. The owner (Maggi) was an excelent host, she was polite and well mannered and she took time out to introduce us to her animals at feeding time. What more could we ask for on a relaxing break ??. The property is centrally placed for many nice locations. If I was to complain about any aspect of this holiday it would be the state of the local roads, but at this moment in time the roads, all over this country, are in a discusting state.

- Michael, May 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback. It was so nice meeting you all and the weather was perfect for showing you the animals(no mud!) The roads are hopefully going to be sorted one day! Hope you will return one day. Best wishes Maggi Property Owner
Paul April 2023

“Beautifully furnished, and fully equipped and comfortable.”

Maggi and Charlie made us feel so welcome. Would definitely recommend Billy’s Barn, ideally situated for visiting Devon and Cornwall. The Dog loved it as well.

- Paul, April 2023

Thank you for your feedback, we are glad you enjoyed your stay. All the best Maggi and Charlie Property Owner
Dianne March 2023

“Wonderful barn to stay in, we all had an amazing time, our dog Milo loved watching the birds from the huge window in the living room.”

Billy’s has absolutely everything you need from the welcome tasty treats from Maggi for us and also Milo’s bag of doggy treats. The local area is stunning and you’re never far from a long walk on the beach to a cosy tea room for scones and Devon cream. The local pub in Bradworthy is definitely worth a visit as is the local fish & chip van on a Wednesday evening in the village square. If you take pets and need a visit to the vet as we did the local vet in the village is amazing, lovely kind staff and very willing to see Milo. We had a wonderful week and will definitely book again.

- Dianne, March 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, we look forward to your return and hope the weather will be better. We are very lucky to have everything you need in the village including the awesome vets! hope Milo is well. Best wishes Maggi and Charlie Property Owner
Dave December 2022

“Our visit to Billy's Barn was very last minute, following a very disappointing start at another property.”

Billy's Barn is a wonderfull place to stay. The facilities are perfect for every type of stay. It is a real home from home. We stayed here for Christmas with no intentions or plans to do anything. So it needed to be comfortable and relaxing and it certainly didn't disappoint. The Barn was immaculately clean and tidy, it had everything and more that we needed for our stay. The location is very rural which was perfect for us, however only a short drive to the nearest shops, beach etc. The owner was lovely to chat to and also showed us around the animals they had too. We can't thank them enough for letting us stay here, at very last minute and over Christmas. We can't recomend this Barn enough, it truly was a lovely place to stay and we will definitely be returning.

- Dave, December 2022

Thank you for your feedback, so glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to your return. Happy New Year Property Owner
Amanda November 2022

“We had an amazing stay at Billy’s Barn.”

Maggi was a great host, around if needed but happy to leave you to it! We just needed to chill so that’s what we did! The barn had everything we needed. Dogs loves the freedom of the garden and the use of a large field. I have already recommended it to several family members & friends! Thank you so much.

- Amanda, November 2022

Thank you for your lovely feedback, so glad you had a chilled week. Best wishes Maggi Property Owner

Rachel October 2022

“What a fabulous week!”

A lovely warm welcome awaited us and the cottage is amazingly equipped and very comfortable. A perfect getaway with the children and lots of wildlife to see from the huge window. It was also lovely not having WiFi for a week

- Rachel, October 2022

Thank you for your lovely feedback. So glad you enjoyed your holiday and hope to see you again one day. Take care Maggi and Charlie Property Owner
Stephen October 2022

“What a superb cottage!”

It has everything you could need and the hosts were very friendly. The goats and sheep on site are an added attraction for those with small children.

- Stephen, October 2022
Denise October 2022

“We loved staying at Billy’s Barn everything we could want had been catered for.”

The views were lovely and we really enjoyed the peace and quiet. Maggi and Michael very hospitable and friendly. We had a fabulous weeks there. The dog loved it and Maggi allowed our dog to run around one of her fields.

- Denise, October 2022
Chris September 2022

Thank you Maggie and Charlie for the stay in your wonderful cottage, you have a lovely home and we look forward to coming back. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting a break from their busy lives

- Chris, September 2022

Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are glad you enjoyed your stay in Billy's Barn. Thank you so much for the flowers and chocolates, a lovely surprise. We look forward to your return with the wonderful George. All the best Maggi and Charlie Property Owner
Sandra September 2022

“We have just booked again for our 4th visit next September.”

So you can assume we love coming here. The only criticism we have had and always forget to tell you is the lack of a shelf to put toiletries and toothbrushes etc in both the bathrooms, especially the wet room !! Otherwise it is the perfect holiday home and we looking forward to next year.

- Sandra, September 2022

Hi Sandra, Thank you for your feedback and thank you for your booking for next year. It will be lovely to see you all again. I will research shelving for the wet room as the racks I have used in the past rust quickly and then are no use. We are always happy to try and keep the cottages in good order. All the best Maggi Property Owner
Ruth September 2022

“The setting was lovely and the barn was great.”

It was lovely to find some supplies in the kitchen and some dog treats for our dogs. Garden area nice and secure and the use of one of the fields for excersising the dogs was a bonus.

- Ruth, September 2022
Alan July 2022

“Very enjoyable stay, very good quality location and very welcoming hosts.”

Dog friendly with plenty of places to walk your pet safely. High spec furnishing and a wet room en-suite, very quiet location even on a working farm. Just what we needed. Close to Bude and Bideford too. Only one niggle which wasn’t huge, internet very poor, not huge as I said.

- Alan, July 2022

Thank you for your feedback, we are glad you enjoyed your stay. The internet issue is beyond our control I'm afraid. We have invested in connections to Fritillary Cottage which are working well at the moment and does service Billy's Barn when the signal is strong enough plus our own hub. We have just heard that at the end of the year we are having updates in services which I hope will remedy this. All the best Maggi and Charlie Property Owner
David Edward July 2022

“This was our second visit and everything lived up to the high expectations from before.”

Excellent.

- David Edward, July 2022
Gillian Amanda June 2022

“We found everything we needed was available in the cottage .”

On the the whole though we felt relaxed and comfortable. Lovely spot to stay and close enough to Bude . Thank you x

- Gillian Amanda, June 2022
Susan June 2022

“My husband and I found the cottage very suitable for our needs as we both have problems walking.”

The cottage was well laid out, light and airy and the kitchen area was more than adequate. Our small dog, Willow (Ruby CKCS) just loved laying on her mat in the large lounge window looking out and sleeping in her dog crate. The views from the cottage were extremely beautiful. We found the cottage to be peaceful and relaxing considering the location was on a working farm. Maggi and Charlie were around to offer help and support if necessary, which they offered on at least two occasions when we were in need of some help. Overall, we enjoyed a pleasant and relaxing time here.

- Susan, June 2022
Wayne May 2022

- Laura, March 2022
Stephen March 2022

“Maggi and Charlie are friendly and on hand to answer any questions, the barn is spacious, very well equipped and the beds are comfortable.”

You can sit back and relax Infront of the picture window whilst watching the farm animals. If you want peace and quiet this is perfect. I can recommend Widemouth bay for dog walks and watching the huge waves and surfers, 70p for 2 hours, toilet and a cafe, only 30 min drive. Our dog loved the farm and country walks, lots of sticks and smells. The grassed area is attached to the barn and is a good size with a picnic table.

- Stephen, March 2022
Susan January 2022

“Home from home, peaceful relaxing break yet not too far from the coast, had everything we needed, comfortable bed and roomy, lovely hosts.”

Justine July 2021

“The cottage was just perfect!”

Everything you could think of was provided and it was spotless. The garden was fantastic for our dog. Loved the open plan kitchen/living area which made the most of the gorgeous views. Can thoroughly recommend the pub in the village too (so friendly). Thank you so much Maggi and Charlie!

- Justine, July 2021

“Although the weather could have been better we had a lovely holiday at Billy's Barn.”

So relaxing and the wonderful dawn chorus was something not to be missed. The owners were very friendly and we were even given a little tour of the farm animals at feeding time. A beautiful place that was more than home from home!

- David, June 2021

Graham April 2021

“South Worden Farm is a wonderful place.”

Add Billy's barn, Maggie and Charlie's hospitality and the gorgeous view from the lounge window, you have the makings of a fantastic holiday. Thankyou Maggie for making Billy's barn such a warm and cosy place to stay. The extra touches meant so much and was the difference between a holiday home and feeling at home. We can't wait to come back next year and see you both and all the animals xx

Sarah August 2020

“Maggi and Charlie the owners gave us a very warm welcome and nothing was too much trouble.”

The barn is beautiful and very dog friendly with a fully enclosed garden which is important to us when we holiday. Alan the ram was very entertaining and if you’ve children there’s plenty of animals to see : goats, geese... There was everything you could possibly want and the surrounding country side is stunning. There’s lots to do locally too with plenty of walks and places to visit. We will be back xxxx

- Sarah, August 2020

“The wonderful view from the garden.”

And so peaceful, we relaxed immediately. We had a super holiday and loved the cottage so much we ate in every night. Maggie and Charlie are lovely warm hosts who are there to help but let you have your privacy. Would highly recommend to anyone

“Billy's Barn was everything we wanted and more.”

The Barn is very remote, with spectacular views and is based on a small farm. Very comfortable accommodation, all you need from a kitchen and the ensuite was an added bonus for a family. The hosts were so helpful and were on hand for any questions and very informative about the local area. They even invited the children to help feed the animals one morning, which literally made their holiday! The Beaches are truly out of this world, with the closest beach about 20mins away. Bradworthy is a 5min drive and has a great pub with amazing food and a great fish and chip van on certain nights. A fantastic family holiday, with so many memories made. Thank you Charlie, Maggi and Alan the sheep!

“A beautiful cottage with breathtaking views, exactly what we were hoping for from a late October getaway.”

Even when we had rain it was just a lovely place to be, watching the world go by. The owners were around just enough to ensure we were comfortable, but not overbearing at all. The range of meat available for purchase from the farm is amongst some of the nicest we've ever had, and we'd highly recommend anyone staying in the cottage take advantage of this!

“This was my first experience of this type of holiday as for years my husband and I caravanned or used a camper.”

This time I went with a friend and we were very impressed. I have two dogs and all their needs were met. The Barn owners were very kind and helpful.

“Billy's Barn is a fabulous location to base a holiday in the southwest, finding it was easy and we were greeted at the farm gate.”

Billy's barn exceeded all are expectations from the moment we saw it with a secure garden for the dog and a view that took your breath away. Inside it was clean and modern with all the facilities you require for a stay. All the appliances were clean and easy to use and a lovely welcome pack was a surprise. Also catering for our pet there were bowls and treats if we needed them. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable the added on suit was a nice touch. Overall a fantastic stay.

“Billy's Barn was a wonderful property.”

Very spacious and luxurious. Maggi was a brilliant host, from the welcome basket of goodies to the guided tour around the farm. Great area - so many places to go, including the beach at Bude, short drive to Dartmoor and Tamar Lakes down the road. Sykes sent regular correspondence and helpful ideas. Would highly recommend everything about this holiday.

“We had a lovely week.”

Our two dogs were able to go out into the garden which was fully enclosed. We needed to put the heating on when it turned chilly in the evenings, the barn warmed up very quickly and kept us warm. The beaches nearby were beautiful, with long stretches of sand. Families with children would especially like it here, plenty of farm animals to meet. A very quiet rural place although shops are not too far away.

“The cottage is lovely and we had a great time.”

It has been thoughtfully equipped with everything you'll need for a weeks stay and finished to a high standard. The surrounding views are beautiful and the kids loved seeing the farm animals. It would be great if it had its own WiFi though, as the shared signal is weak.

- Richard, August 2018
Sarah July 2018

“It's a lovely cottage in a great location.”

Very tranquil. The only negative was the garden is not totally enclosed as described in the description . We specifically choose accommodation that has an enclosed garden where we can allow the dogs to come and go freely. The garden wall can be cleared your dog can jump 3ft. Having dogs that have high prey drives ours were constantly trying to catch the free range chickens .They had to be supervised at all times outside. This is something that could easily be rectified by the owners but did restrict the time we spent and the dogs spent in the garden.

“Billy's Barn has everything you wish for.”

Five star accomadation and the hosts go that extra mile to make you feel very welcome. A welcome basket of coffee wine fudge and flowers greets you. Everything is catered for from fresh towels games for children and even treats for your dog. The view from the lounge window is amazing especially to watch the sunrise and set. The animals are lovely to watch in the paddocks amongst the beautiful countryside setting. The garden is fenced off and perfectly safe. The best self catering we've visited and will be returning to frequently. Can't wait till we visit again.

Ian June 2018

“Billy's Barn is clean comfortable and well equipped.”

The owners live on site and are lovely. Always available for a chat but pretty sure they'd leave you to get on with your holiday if that's what you want. It's on a small quiet farm with a few pigs, sheep, chickens, goat and a couple of dogs. Go and see the animals - or not. Like the owners, they're available but your choice if you see them or not. Definitely highly recommend a holiday here and would go again.

“Billy's Barn was a fantastic cottage, clean, comfortable, was in a lovely location, and the animals on the farm were a treat.”

“Excellent accommodation, very comfortable everything provided.”

Enjoyed sitting the in the sun in the lovely enclosed garden overlooking the beautiful Devon countryside. Friendly and extremely helpful owners, who really care about the comfort and enjoyment of their,guests.

Rodger March 2018

“Billy's Barn is the perfect place for a relaxing holiday with as much or as little to do as you please.”

The setting is idyllic and opening the lounge windows each morning and seeing new born lambs frollicking in the field was such a tonic. The owners Maggi and Charlie were also a delight, very helpful and so welcoming. The cottage had everything we needed and Molly our Golden Retriever enjoyed the secure garden and we could relax knowing she was safe and sound. There were so many interesting places to visit that our week flew by and it was lovely to find so many dog friendly places to eat like the lovely Urchins in Bude and The Market Kitchen in Appledore.. We can highly recommend Billy' s Barn and we look forward to visiting again.

“We had a lovely relaxing break at Billy's Barn with our dogs.”

The accommodation was perfect and the owners, Maggie and Charlie were very helpful and friendly. Unfortunately, we had to leave a day early due to the snow that was heading our way! Maybe we should have stayed, it would have been a very comfortable and cosy place to be snowed in at! Will definitely recommend to friends and family.
