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.

Unique property in a very pretty location with a selection of walks from the door. Clean and in good decorative order . Several sitting areas for relaxing and the balcony is a huge asset. Dog friendly with garden enclosed with stock fencing. The fridge is quite small. Would certainly return

We stayed with our dog and this property was perfect. The garden is spacious and secure. The balcony is wonderful and we had choice in sitting out in the garden, indoors in the kitchen area or upstairs on the sofa. Everywhere was comfortable and clean. Lots of plates, cutlery glasses etc. The shower was hot and powerful. The location was great for exploring local beaches and towns. Elaine the host was welcoming, friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful time.

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.

What a beautiful little home which is what this little cottage is. Home from home. Elaine is a lovely person and you can tell she is so passionate about Devon and the tiny Hamlet where she lives. I went on my own with my rescue dog Simba and was met by Elaine with a bottle of bubbles in hand. “ for you to enjoy on the balcony” she said. And WOW what a balcony lovely comfy seating, a view to die for. Simba absolutely loved laying out there and in the garden which is absolutely perfect, very secure and so quiet , again plenty of seating, sun loungers and bistro set. The inside of the cottage is just as beautiful as the outside. Well designed kitchen with everything you need. Lovely modern bathroom with lovely big shower and upstairs is just stunning. Very clean and comfortable everything you need for a great stay. Again really clean and cosy and when you open the French doors to the balcony the outside just comes in. Beautiful. Lots of local walks from the cottage along the river and also to the local pub. What more could you need. Lots of places to visit nearby and further afield that are dog friendly. And value for money. And lots of places just to go and chill.

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.

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.
