This is a good cottage, spacious with all the facilities. Sadly, the pictures, taken some 7+ years ago, are somewhat misleading and in need of updating. The views are unfortunately, spoiled by overgrown trees, shrubs and vegetation. If the trees were trimmed back and the gardens maintained, yes the views would be spectacular. The cottage is well equipped, with all the appliances needed for a comfortable stay. As an electric car driver the EV Charger was very useful and reasonably priced and in a good location for charging. The cottage has a lot going for it, in a quiet location, good parking, however, is beginning to look in need of maintenance, particularly the decked terrace! The access from the main road is approximately 2 miles down a very narrow road which is steep in some areas. Kevin, the owner, was helpful and available when needed. Overall, there is nothing particularly wrong with this cottage, it is in an ideal location, we just feel let down by our expectations of the views and cottage....

What a find! My dog and I enjoyed a lovely relaxing week at Larch Barn, surrounded by the beautiful sights and sounds of nature. Outside: fabulous views from the terrace and fields behind (very handy for a pre-breakfast dog walk); inside: clean, warm and luxurious. Location was perfect for us - The Donkey Sanctuary and coast just a few minutes easy drive away. On top of that, Kevin was such a welcoming, friendly host. I highly recommend Larch Barn and wouldn't hesitate to return - my dog agrees. ...

Larch Barn is a wonderful place to relax and get away from your busy life! The barn is very comfortable and has everything you could need. The beds are comfy, bathrooms have plenty of hot water, the kitchen is fully equipped and there is lots of space (we had three adults and a pup). The log fire was a welcome addition on the wet and windy evenings. The views are just wonderful and the deck is a great space to watch the world go by! I can’t recommend it enough and am looking forward to our next stay. ...

The barn is in a beautiful location. The surrounding trees were full of birds even in gloomy February. I watched bullfinch fight, deer crop the grass and jays bob about. There is no light pollution and the stars were superb, with the Milky Way visible. The day time views were also superb. The accommodation is lovely with all the rooms opening onto the elevated decking. It was the most comprehensive set of kitchen utensils I have seen for a while in a rental property (Including knife sharpener!). The host was very helpful and accommodating. Thank you! ...
