This was our third year at this property (and we have booked to come back next year). The fact that we keep coming back says it all really! Lovely property in a beautiful location. And the lemon drizzle cake is a bonus!

Very well equipped with comfy beds and good bathrooms. Mike our host was very helpful and friendly keeping us informed on local issues. A great break away. ...

Cider Barn is an ideal accommodation for 2 people, nicely equipped with spacious en-suites and plenty of storage in both bedrooms. The view across the little valley to Harpford House is very pretty with a variety of established native trees. The East Devon Way is literally outside the gate and the local walking is fairly easy, especially along the River Otter in either direction. Local buses along the A3052 through Newton Poppleford were running every half hour in late April/May, and it took us an easy 30 minutes to walk along the river to the nearest bus stop and catch the 9a into Sidmouth. (We are 75yrs + and these days take in the views: anyone younger could probably do it in 20 minutes.) There is also a disused railway line within easy distance of the cottage which runs north-south between Tipton and Harpford Woods; this too provides very easy walking on flat ground. ...
