“Absolutely wonderful cottage.”

Well stocked, extremely comfortable in the most peaceful and beautiful surroundings. The river at the Tarr Steps at the end of the lane really added to the holiday - dogs loved it and it was perfect for wild swimming. Be aware that the lanes leading to the cottage are steep and narrow - you may end up reversing a long way if you meet another car! And if you’re using the top floor bedrooms (which are very comfortable ) and it’s due to be hot weather, we suggest bringing a sheet to use instead ...

And if you’re using the top floor bedrooms (which are very comfortable ) and it’s due to be hot weather, we suggest bringing a sheet to use instead of the duvet and possibly a fan as it’s quite warm with no air flow. Overall a wonderful find if you want a peaceful time with only the sounds of the river and birds.

“Cottage is spacious and comfortable with all the equipment needed for a relaxing stay.”

The main bedroom has one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. Due to high mineral content of water, we drank bottled or boiled water only.

“A beautiful cottage away from it all.”

Peaceful and relaxing. Everything you need is in the cottage. Will definitely book again.

“Lovely family house in a stunning location.”

Great when the sun shines and cosy if it rains. Owner popped in to check all was well. One of the best walking locations we have ever been to.

Corliss April 2024

“We had a wonderful week, with Barn Cottage as our base.”

Friendly welcome from Kate, house clean and well equipped. Comfortable beds and good heating through out the cottage. Great washing/tumble facilities if needed, fridge door kept coming open, worked out door storage needs to be considered - no big milk bottles either end

“Please tell the owner NOT to hide the new wifi password on a scruffy piece of paper in the cover of the black folder.”

AND to get rid of the signage for the old wifi! This caused a lot of confusion and was only rectified by accidentally meeting the electrician!

“The house itself was fine, what was only very annoying is that the heating was on a timer.”

So you couldn't turn on the heater during the day. According to the owner (Peter), this was because a thermostat was broken somewhere on the roof, but that would be repaired the next day. We were allowed to get some extra wood from Katy the housekeper. However, the pieces of wood turned out to be so large that they did not fit in the stove. When we got home the next day in the afternoon, an electrician was working in the house and Peter said that the heating was working again. When Peter left, the electrician asked us if we actually knew what he was doing. It turned out that he was installing internet instead of repairing the stove. Finally the electrician finished at 6pm. We found this very annoying. And they think it's a shame that Peter didn't just tell the truth about installing the internet. The next day it turned out that the heater was still on a timer and that we were in the cold during the day. Peter could not be found so we bought bags of wood to light the wood stove. All in all, this experience left us with a bit of a bad feeling.

- Henk, October 2023

I am sorry that the heating had to be on a timer and that I had failed to adequately communicate the reason. The reason was that the thermostat on the hot water cylinder that closes the hot water demand valve had stopped working and I was informed that there was a risk the hot water could overheat if the control was left on permanent instead of timed. The electrician was asked to replace the thermostat as a priority and soon as possible and I understood from him that this was what he was going to work on. The upgrade to the internet (not installing the internet) was a relatively unimportant job that could be done at any time. It is regrettable that you thought we were not being truthful. At my request Kate advised you that you could help yourself to my personal store of logs. I am sorry you could not find pieces of wood small enough to fit in the woodburner. Property Owner

“We had a tremendous holiday on Exmoor with friends, family, 2 dogs and 2 Exmoor ponies.”

Barn Cottage was a perfect choice, I especially loved the location and the river provided a lovely soundscape.

Nigel June 2023

“Fantastic location.”

.. home from home ... lovely secure garden so we could let the dog and the 2 year old play outside in the sunshine.. having a 2 year old a toilet on every floor was a god send and he loved feeding carrots to the horses in the stable next door ..some great walks along the river and woods right on the door step. thoroughly enjoyed the piece and quiet at the property to escape the rat race ..

- Nigel, June 2023
Gerry June 2023

“The cottage was just what we were looking for.”

Quiet and peaceful location. Plenty of space. Well appointed kitchen. Bathroom on all floors. 5 good bedrooms. My bed was probably the most comfortable I have ever slept in. Great walks for dog owners. Overall, we had a great time there and will certainly look to book again. Thank you.

- Gerry, June 2023
Ivan May 2023

“We had never been to Exmoor before and loved this place.”

A perfect accompaniment to our previous week in a beautiful but rather cramped Cornish fishing village.....If you would like to experience mature trees; an abundance of bird life; a broad, clear, rocky river; a sense of space; and a quality pub in easy walking distance; this location is for you. A central base from which to explore Exmoor or just relax in idyllic surrounds. The property is charming but large, generally well equipped and clean. The garden is a surprisingly good suntrap……Our Spaniel did acquire a couple of ticks. Probably we should have known to pack the anti-tick kit. Maybe a few more clothes hangers. The multifunction oven defeated me, resulting in one incinerated roast (possibly not all the oven’s fault)…..Overall, we think the property is great value for a unique location. Thank you.

“It is a lovely cottage in a (very) lovely location, and there is a lot to like about the property.”

For the most part, we enjoyed the accommodation very much. However, there is a need for some maintenance which unfortunately led to a bit of discomfort. Firstly, it got too hot on the top floor. We discovered that at least one of the radiators still heats up, even when the valve is set to off. We settled for reducing the thermostat, which then meant it was a little on the cold side downstairs. Opening the windows upstairs was possible but a lot of flies were wont to come in, and letting out heat like that is environmentally not good. The beds were reported to be comfortable mostly, although the double upstairs on top floor was hard and I could feel what felt like a spring through it. It's probably time to buy a new mattress for that bed. The kitchen was good but there were a few issues: one of the oven door handles immediately came off when we tried to open it. Also the toaster was non functional, perhaps it just needs a new fuse. And there was a strange lack of teaspoons!! The lounge area was comfortable and enjoyed by all. The main issue was the DVD (and VHS!

- Joe, October 2022

Thank you for your comments. We have a caretaker on site so if anything breaks (and things do of course from time to time) please let Kate and Kamil know and they can repair and replenish immediately! Our policy on flies is not to use chemical sprays and we prefer to think of them as a sign of a healthy eco system! The mattress will be replaced asap if it is uncomfortable. Property Owner
Anton September 2022

“We had a lovely stay, very comfortable and it felt like home.”

Property looking a little tired in places noting the top price being charged. Broadband failed after day 3 and didn't return but this didn't impact our holiday. Loved the enclosed garden which was very handy for our young dog. Given all the above, we had a great time and were very reluctant to leave, could have stayed for another week :)

- Anton, September 2022
Anthony August 2022

“Lovely cottage, very peaceful great sun trap in front garden.”

It was great to walk down and paddle with the dog in the river by tarr steps followed by a pint in the pub over looking it.

- Anthony, August 2022
Gaz July 2022

“Great property, well equipped with what you need.”

Internet is slow but didn't bother us and meant kids just spent more time playing and exploring. Short walk down to Tarr Steps and the kids loved paddling in the water. The cottage is such a lovely location and great for exploring the beautiful area.

- Gaz, July 2022
Julie July 2022

“We enjoyed the beautiful location, deep in the countryside, though tricky to find.”

Please include the nearby street name so that Google maps can direct to the Hawkridge side of the Tarr steps. House is well equipped and comfortable. Great for a family holiday. The rotary washing line needs to be replaced.

- Julie, July 2022

“Perfect location for all the family.”

We really enjoyed the area walking, cycling and some beach time only 40 mins away! Would definitely come back again

Katherine April 2022

“The holiday cottage is in a beautiful location and is a lovely comfortable space to relax in.”

A couple of things could be improved. The stair gate, which is useful as we had a dog, is broken and constantly falls off when you open and close it so needs some attention/replacing. Despite there being a huge box of old vcr videos, the vcr player does not work so I suggest replacing the player or removing the videos to avoid guests’ disapppointment. Perhaps a bit of warning about the ford in the directions information would be useful as we were tempted to think travelling into the cottage from the other direction would be easier but did not appreciate that there is the river to cross that way. We also did not attempt to use the shower on the first floor as the curtain looked very old fashioned and difficult to use. Updating with a glass screen would be an improvement as otherwise there is only one shower on the ground floor which is not ideal for such a large property. But we loved the open plan layout of the cottage and we loved the location and the garden.

- Katherine, April 2022

Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback. We were unaware that the stairgate was broken, we will look to get it either repaired or replaced. The video player and box of videos will be removed, there is a DVD player in the cottage. We advise that guests follow the directions emailed to them from Sykes/Helpful Holidays, which will get you to the property without having to cross a ford. If you should choose to use a SatNav this will take you via a route where you will need to cross a ford. We will check the shower curtain and replace if necessary. We are glad that you enjoyed the layout of the cottage, along with the garden and the local area. Property Owner

We had a lovely stay and would recommend to others to enjoy the surroundings, especially the walks. Thank you for having us stay.

Hazel August 2021

“We really loved Barn Cottage, very comfy, clean and spacious for our four children and the dog.”

After a few day trips out the roads leading to the house were less daunting and we felt very happy in this beautiful secluded spot! i have racked my brain for any improvements that could be made and the only one i could come up with would be maybe more pegs for the washing line! A really lovely family holiday from Hazel, Chris, Alfie, Poppy, Tilly, Peter and Chance the dog!

“This was our 2nd visit and it did not disappoint.”

The accommodation is stunning, as well as the area. We met the lovely lady , Katie, who works hard keeping the place clean and tidy, and she was incredibly friendly. We will definitely be returning for a 3rd visit in the future!

James May 2021

“We had a lovely stay at Barn Cottage.”

The cottage itself is lovely and is kitted out with everything you could need during your stay. It is such a tranquil location and handy being near to the pub which we visited a few times during the stay. The weather was not on our side though-out our weeks stay, but hopefully will be better next time we visit :-)

- James, May 2021
Abigail April 2021

“We loved barn cottage and would return.”

Highlights: The position of the cottage was 10/10 -right by the Tarr steps and so quiet. Could not have picked a better spot. If people love wild life then this is the cottage for them! All you can hear from the cottage are the sounds and sights of nature which is a refreshing change. The cottage is secluded but not as secluded as some have stated as there is a pub 2 mins over the Tarr steps and a few houses located very near ( we could not hear any noise from the houses). The cottage was so clean and appreciated that . Negatives were that the cottage's heating was set by the owner and was cold when we entered the property. There was a box of logs that we topped up from the forest so it would have been nicer to have more logs. When we tried to contact the named person the number did not connect so unsure if that number is still correct. Think if an older couple stayed here they may have struggled with the temperature as we were not able to adjust heating. I suppose the solution would be to extend the hours of the heating or supply more logs. As other people have mentioned there is no welcome pack however appreciate that these are currently tough times for people and did appreciate the milk that was left for us. I forgot my hair dryer which I never normally do but there was not one that I could find in the house. In all cottages where I have stayed there was a hairdryer so that would have been useful. When we had a BBQ it was very nice of the owners to supply the coal etc but there was no tin foil to hand so this would have also been useful. All being said I would definitely book Barn cottage again and the positives very much outweighed the negatives and I am already looking in the diary to see when I can return. We both had a lovely time at Barn cottage and loved Exmoor.

Great for a relaxed multi family holiday. Cottage has great facilities with plenty of kitchenware for those wanting to cook.

Mandi September 2020

“We had a great time at the Barn Cottage we just found the sofas needed updating along with the chairs and most definitely the mattresses!”

Other than that no complaints. 10min walk from the Tarr steps in a beautiful setting and so so quiet!

Joanna December 2019

“Stayed here Christmas week.”

A lovely property 5 minute walk to the Tarr steps. Set in beautiful surroundings with outstanding views. Visited Dulverton with its quaint village shops and tearooms. Added bonus for our stay was meeting Ralph the deer who played in the garden with our dogs. Unfortunately we had no room to smuggle Maisy the border terrier home with us. Only slight issue was flies in top floor rooms and the temperature control in the larger oven. Ideally would have liked more oven trays for smaller oven and a new dvd player is probably needed as everything has a yellow hue. Having said that we enjoyed our stay here. Happy new year. X

David August 2019

“Barn Cottage is in a magnificent setting in the Barle valley only 300m from the Tarr Steps clapper bridge.”

It is a spacious cottage, has three bathrooms, a large kitchen and plenty of association space. It is deep in rural Exmoor and this means that steep hills and narrow roads are to be expected, and only small shops are found nearby but they are well stocked. Tarr Steps are great fun for children and there are many country walks along well maintained paths close to the cottage. For anyone who loves the countryside this comfortable cottage is the base for an ideal holiday.

- David, August 2019
John August 2019

“Despite a very isolated location and single track roads to negotiate everything was ok.”

Kettle switch broken and reported on first day but nothing done. Towel rail in ground floor shower room loose on wall. Otherwise just wear and tear and needs a little love to bring to standard. No welcome pack which is unusual!

- John, August 2019
Amanda August 2019

“Barn Cottage was a lovely base but did need some updating.”

It is also all electric which caused problems when we had a power cut one day and being so remote you couldn't just pop somewhere you really have to plan. The description mentioned the village pub, but as we found out on our first evening, don't expect an evening meal unless you've booked! With no provisions or welcome pack, and after a 7 hr journey to get there we had to get back in the car and negotiate the roads again for something to eat. It is described as remote but that is an understatement I would almost say isolated, so unless you are keen on walking I would think twice for a family. The nearest convenience store was in Dulverton which requires a 15/20 min drive down single track lanes, which proved quite hair raising at times when you met oncoming traffic, as there was nowhere to get out of the way. We did have a good week but wouldn't go again.

- Amanda, August 2019
Rodney July 2019

“Fantastic cottage with everything you need.”

Plenty of walks and a pub not too far to walk to and stumble back from! If you like peace and quiet then this is the place to stay. We were even supplied with an electric storm that lit up the sky for ages, spectacular! One thing to note is that because of the remoteness location you do need to plan your supplies in advance unless you fancy a hour long round trip. Can't be running out of G&T while relaxing on holiday. Thank you to owners who made everything perfect for our stay.

- Rodney, July 2019

Sophie June 2019

“Barn Cottage is a true find and we loved every minute of our stay.”

The cottage and its facilities are of a high standard and it is well equipped (especially the kitchen). There was more than enough space for our family seven. The real charm of the cottage is its setting; close to Tarr Steps and within striking distance of spectacular walks, good fishing and riding, there is plenty to do for those who wish to keep active. We can highly recommend this cottage and are looking forward to staying there again the future.

- Sophie, June 2019
Sue May 2019

“Location was perfect for peace & quiet would not change a thing .”

The walking was superb, you could walk from the door without ever using the car, the coastal paths only an hours drive away, if you wanted a change it was not a problem . Only thing to say was be aware that the nearest town for a big shop was a 40min drive away so stock up well for the week .

- Sue, May 2019
Rebecca May 2019

“The cottage was in an idyllic location, perfect for our holiday with friends and their dog.”

Lovely walks on the door step, and a fabulous gastro pub within a few hundred yards. The cottage was spacious, light, clean, fully appointed, and comfortable. WiFi was a bonus. Everything we needed was there, and some lovely extra touches, such as nice liquid soap in all the bathrooms. Couldn’t have asked for better.

- Rebecca, May 2019
Christopher March 2019

“Loved the house , its situation and garden.”

So near to some lovely walks and busy stables. Concerned that the house took a lot of warming when we arrived. I felt it should be warm with heating actually on, especially in March. I had to rummage around and hit the ch override. Small things, no kindling (provided later), no paper towels and napkins. Otherwise lovely. What a place to stay.

Guy October 2018

“There was not a functioning shower in the property, shower hose in bathroom missing from bathroom, shower hose in other bathroom has no fitting to hand from wall, downstairs shower in WC has non closing doors that leak water if used.”

Tap in bathroom won’t shut off, top floor of cottage has serious amount of flies/insects flying around in bathroom and bedrooms. Outside light permanently on not allowing for night time sky viewing (Main reason for our booking) trail hounds kept in stable block adjacent to property that howl and wail at night keeping you awake. We left the cottage three days early as had enough. Will not use again. Dated, worn, poorly equipped and shabby. The location is perfect, that is the ONLY upside but sadly not enough. ****Owner response**** Your feedback on the showers was very useful and we are sorry as it should have been spotted and repaired before your stay. We are glad to report that the showers have now been fixed, and are fully functioning. We are also sorry that you did not let us know about the broken tap: our very competent onsite caretaker was able to fix the tap in five minutes once notified of the problem. The attic had been left clean and spotless. We are however fortunate to live in an area of outstanding natural beauty with a fabulous abundance of insect life. The flies hide away in autumn and when there is a sunny warm day they appear from nowhere. It is however easy to get rid of them by opening a window. The outside light has been adjusted and is now on a short timer so that it only comes on briefly to help guests arriving or leaving. We are glad to know that you and your dog enjoyed playing with the hound puppies, and really sorry that you didn’t let Danielle know that the puppies’ yelps had kept you awake. Further renovations and redecoration are planned for the winter months to ensure Barn Cottage is looking its best for 2019.

Ea June 2018

“This could be a lovely cottage however, some of it is tired and neglected.”

For example, water damaged wood panelling, stained and split kitchen lino. The front door frame was splintered by the top hinge, which could have caused a big problem. We tried to use the other door instead but the handle was broken therefore it could only be locked from the inside. We reported the split door frame first thing on Monday, as soon as we realised why the door was sagging, and this was atttended to as we were leaving. We wanted to use the payphone during our stay but it did not work and we reported this also. Other people had commented in the visitors book that the TV remote does not match the TV so does not work completely. The WiFi connection is intermittent. However, the kitchen is well equipped, the cottage characterful and the location idyllic. ****Owner response**** Thank you for your feedback. We entirely agree with you - Barn Cottage is lovely and characterful, the location is idyllic, and some TLC and maintenance is overdue! The downside to our idyllic, West Country location is slower and occasionally intermittent WIFI. We have however repaired the damaged panelling and front door, and renewed the lino on the kitchen floor. There are new handles on the front door, the landline has been checked, and the new remote works perfectly with the TV. We look forward to welcoming you back to beautiful Barn Cottage.
