Fantastic stay at Little Owl Barn. Comfortable, spacious, well equipped and spotlessly clean. Excellent communication with owners. Large, secure garden/outside space so perfect if you are travelling with furry friends. 10/10 from us humans and our dogs, and we will definitely be planning another stay.

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Highly recommended

We very much enjoyed our stay here at Little Owl Barn, and even got a good look at two real little owls in a tree we could see from the window. The property is smart and well presented, the owners were very friendly and helpful, the view and location is great, the local pub was lovely, Wellington is near enough to be convenient but the property is remote enough to be a quiet haven. I would gladly visit again, or recommend this to our friends and relatives. It is in a good location for visiting all of Somerset and Devon.

Wonderful property in great location

Little Owl barn was a great find. The property was very clean and spacious and had wonderful views over the surrounding countryside. The garden and adjoining paddock were very secure and ideal for letting our dog wander. It's position was ideal for visiting the coast (either in Somerset or Devon) and it had good access to the West Somerset Railway. Philip the owner made us very welcome when we arrived. I would thoroughly recommend this property
