About this property

Converted Barn On Thatched Devon Longhouse Grounds At The Foot Of Rolling Hills.

The Little Barn is situated in a yard in front of Lower Court, a medieval Devon Longhouse. The Barn was converted some time ago, but has recently been updated. A number of period features have been retained. The barn has a tiled floor downstairs and has a pine floor upstairs with an oak balcony. There are chairs and a table on the balcony. The Little Barn has gas central heating, digital TV and a washing machine. Wi-fi is available. There is a table with chairs in the garden, as well as comfortable loungers. Nearby activities include walking, fishing, golfing, swimming, riding, tennis, sailing and much more. Situated in the heart of East Devon with the Jurassic Coast and Ottery St Mary on your doorstep, it is a haven for walkers. Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks are not too far for a visit and Torbay is a similar distance. You will be spoilt for choice when deciding how to spend each day.

A cute and cozy English cottage

We loved our stay. The cottage had everything we needed. It’s in a nice countryside with a nice community, friendly people and a great pub nearby called “The Golden Lion”. Lots to do in the area and a nice landlady.

5 Star Stay

We had a great trip staying at the cottage, it was beautiful and had everything we could have possibly needed for our trip to Devon. We will definitely be booking to come and stay again. The balcony is a real treat, overlooking the large garden and farmland. Perfect for our dog who enjoyed roaming around the secure garden.

Wonderful stay In the little barn

We loved our stay in the little barn. Elaine is a very friendly host and the house was absolutely lovely, perfectly clean and felt very comfortable. We stayed here for a fortnite with our two small dogs. They loved the garden, and we did too! All the other guest reviews are absolutely true! Would very much recommend!!

Perfect stay

The barn was perfect for us, right from the start Elaine was amazing… from her directions to her perfect scones . Everything you needed was included, fantastic shower, selection of books and dvds. Sitting on the veranda was pure heaven, watching the birds feed from the feeders and talking to Dave the sheep next door. We arrived a stressed, tired and exhausted couple and left totally relaxed and happy.

About the host

Hosted by Elaine Paget

Host profile image
I retired several years ago and enjoy welcoming guests and their dogs to this beautiful part of Devon.

Why they chose this property

We have lived here since 1980 and it is perfect for a rural lifestyle with varied walks such as along the nearby river Otter, over the cliffs on the Jurassic coast just 5 miles away and further afield, areas such as Exmoor and Dartmoor. It is, however, not completely isolated, with lovely towns not too far away.

What makes this property unique

Being able to access good walks over the road to the river Otter and up behind the property is great for dog owners. The Little Barn is in the curtelage of a 16th century thatched Devon Long House with a yard in front and three other very small converted barns. The Little Barn has the advantage of a large garden and gets the morning sun on the balcony.
