Fantastic property. Even better than the photos. We are a 3 generation extended family with 6 children under 6yrs old. It was perfect for us. The large dining room and well equipped kitchen made mealtimes great fun. Two comfortable lounges made it possble for us to have a play/tv room and a quieter lounge for chatting. The games room and hot tub was a great hit. Lovely seating area outside for bbq alfresco eating, and great walk down to river.

As a group of 15 people (a mix of adults and kids) this property had plenty of space for all of us, the bedrooms were a good size, with comfortable beds, clean bedding and all had access to their own bathrooms which was great. The kitchen would benefit from a bit more lighting but was clean and well equipped and had a large table and chairs big enough to seat us all. The only access to upstairs was via an open spiral staircase which was a little creaky and may not be suitable for those less physically able. There are two cosy living room areas downstairs with plenty of comfy seating. Attached to the property is a ‘games room’ with a hot tub and several games tables, the hot tub was lovely however we did find that it overflowed, meaning we had to mop the floor a lot! When we arrived we are greeted by the host who was very friendly and told us about the river Taw which runs close to the property and that we could use some of their paddleboards and kayaks on it, this was great bonus for us and we really enjoyed doing this. The property is located close to two train stations so has really easy access to places like Exeter and Barnstaple. All in all we had a great time and would definitely recommend

Ideal space for a chill getaway

Stayed as a group of 13 lads for my brother's stag party (a much more chilled out affair than it sounds) the house was perfect with plenty of space for socialising, cooking and games. Were hoping to make our "Lads Holiday" an annual event and would definitely stay again!

lovely place for a get together

We really enjoyed our stay at Weirmarsh Barn. The place is plenty big enough and space enough so you are not on top of each other. We had a few issues while there such as hot tub stopped working and we lost internet but a lovely lady called Sarah was really attentive and sorted any issues out really quickly. Lovely place, recommended.

Great property

We stayed for a long weekend just before Christmas. The house is lovely and very clean. The communications with the host were quick and easy and everything was ready upon our arrival. The hot tub was really well maintained and checked everyday by Sarah who also delivered us more logs for the fire when we needed them. The property is highly recommended.

Christmas at the Big Barn

We were a party of 8 adults 4 children from 3 - 12 yrs and two dogs. We found the property to be spacious, well furnished and a fully equiped kitchen for the chef's amongst us to be happy. The Christmas meal was enjoyed and was easily prepared in the spacious kitchen. The bedrooms were comfy and warm, each with it's own en-suite which meant no quarrels first thing in the morning!! A delightful stay , thank you to Sandra and family.

Very pleased with the property. Suited all ages. Games room was a big hit. Oven kept cutting out but not a great problem. New induction hob requires more suitable pans. Shame there are not more walks direct from the property but easy access by car to sites in North Devon.

Booked for a hen weekend

The host was so tentative and welcoming, and then left us to enjoy the lovely property. There were 13 of us and we all had a lovely time. The dining arrangements in the kitchen were great and allowed us to all sit together to eat. The kitchen was well equipped and the lounge area was comfortable. The games room was the added bonus and it was lovely to sit outside on the seating area with table. The only comment was the lack of mirrors for all the women trying to get ready at once lol. The en-suites off each room was great though. Would highly recommend this property

Fabulous Family Holiday

We stayed at the barn over Christmas and New Year with our family of 14. The barn is a wonderful size and happily accommodated everyone. The online photos and description could do with updating as there have been some changes since. The barn is well equipped and has the majority of things you would need. Some areas of the barn require updating and a little TLC and I have notified the owner accordingly. I would concider staying again but only if my recommendations were taken on board and the adverts updated to show a true reflection.

Perfect!

We were a group of 9 adults and 6 children ranging from grandchildren to grandparents and everyone inbetween. The property was amazing, there were so many little extras to help with our stay, from soft teddies on the bed to ice packs to plastic cups - the attention to detail and thoughtful touches were great. The layout of the property was fantastic with a bedroom downstairs and ensuites. The kitchen/ dining area was great for meals. But the thing that really made our visit was the location, being so close to the river and other activities and the owner allowing us to use their equipment was an absolute hit with the kids (and adults)! This along with the games room meant the children were entertained for hours. We were impressed by the cleanliness. Yes its a creaky property with a few visits from spiders (and a bat) but that is to be expected with the property type. Our only comment would be to add some more hooks in the downstairs bedroom to hang things. We had a perfect stay and would love to return. A huge thank you! Highly recommend.
