Great Eckworthy - The Barn

Simply lovely. This was our second stay, the first with the new owners, Anna and Chris. Nothing was too much trouble. They have improved an already fabulous property. There are three good sized rooms and bathrooms so can easily suit six people with ease. The decor is lovely and high-end. It was secluded which suited us and the dog and had the added benefit of a secure field for the dog and an outside patio and jacuzzi for us. Although they couldn't control the weather for us we had a great time as it's only a few miles to the beach (Westward Ho!, Instow and Appledore) and the dog-friendly pubs (The Bell Inn - Parkham for Sunday lunch, the Instow Arms - Instow and The Beaver Inn - Appledore). Even if you don't want to drive there is plenty to do at the property, including walks, BBQ, nature watching and star gazing at night. We can't wait to return....

Thank you to our hosts for a fabulous New Year Break. The house was immaculate and very comfortable for 6 adults. The views from the cottage of the countryside were superb.

The cottage was a dream. It was a 5star home away from home, beautifully decorated and extremely clean. Anna and Chris are the ultimate hosts and nothing was any trouble. I would highly recommend Great Eckworthy The Barn, especially with your dogs as they are treated as well as we were. Would love to come back again. Carolyn and Martin ...

Having stayed in numerous holiday cottages over many years, The Barn was the most comfortable and and well-appointed, luxurious holiday cottage that we've ever stayed in. It offers everything we could have wished for and more, it certainly deserves it's 5-star rating. Anna and Chris are so welcoming and offer many hints as to eateries and local places of interest. For example, we enjoyed a great evening and meal at the Farmers Arms at Woolsery, an excellent pub restaurant, serving high quality food, with a good wine list. The idyllic rural location of The Barn has to be the icing on the cake. We will certainly be returning....
