Fantastic stay at Little Owl Barn. Comfortable, spacious, well equipped and spotlessly clean. Excellent communication with owners.

I am not going to go on about this beautifully sorted and quite lovely little place, as there are plenty of reviews that have already done just that. What I CAN add is that, rather than just 'doing what it takes', Philip & Sarah really have gone 'above & beyond'. There were all sorts of little touches that made our stay so much nicer, which so many other places do not do. Thank you!!!

A lovely rural oasis, quiet and peaceful. The two large fields were heaven for our dog to run around in at her leisure. Philip was very helpful about the property and the milk, tea and coffee on first arrival were very welcome. it's well situated for visits to the coast and the country.

Lovely house, extremely well-equipped, and with the most genial hosts you could wish for.We had two weeks at Little Owl Barn in July/August 25, and found it to be really comfortable, with everything you could need (in fact the most amount of kitchen equipment of any house we've rented), in a lovely setting. Very conveniently close to Wellington and Taunton, whilst still completely in the countryside.The hosts are fantastic: really friendly and approachable.We would totally recommend this place for a relaxing holiday in comfort.

VERY IMPRESSED

We have just returned from a very enjoyable stay at little owl barn. We were very impressed by the barn very clean and well equipped, we would definitely like to return. Our 3 dogs also enjoyed racing round the paddock with no chance of escape. Little Owl barn is in a good location for exploring Devon and Somerset.

Beautiful barn that lived up to expectations.

Really super property with great facilities and excellent for dogs. We stayed over Christmas and had everything we needed in the kitchen for a full Christmas lunch! The barn is very comfortable cosy and warm the Christmas tree was a great touch along with the doggy gift! Our hosts were fantastic and answered all our pre visit questions very quickly and the recommendations for eating out were very good. We’d love to return when the weather is nicer to explore more.

What a find!

Quiet spot overlooking hills, super clean upside down living with everything you need and open plan lay out. Heating and hot water very responsive. Had 2 dogs with us who enjoyed the 2 large paddocks secured by hedge and fences. The charming host was keen to help with anything and we chatted to him over the paddock gate.
