Fabulous place to stay!

We stayed for 5 nights with our Labrador! Elaine was the perfect host and her barn was enchanting! The barn was walking distance from the beautiful River Ott and the pub ! It is compact but furnished to a high standard with an outstanding balcony and enclosed garden ! Thank you Elaine !

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.

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.

Charming Getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property, it was so quiet except for the occasional sounds of the birds and the sheep in the field next door. Even though it rained heavily one afternoon we were still able to have a glass of wine on the sheltered balcony. The host, Elaine, was very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay.

Wonderful little gem we will return there next year if possible.

We absolutely loved the little barn and really hope to go back next year. Its location is perfect for being away from it all, totally in the middle of nowhere whilst being close to so many places we wanted to visit. Beautiful walks around the area in the country with dog who also really loved the time we spent there. The host communicated everything we needed to know and made us so welcome. We hardly saw her but when we did she was always available for us for anything we needed or wanted to know. Managed to visit lots of wonderful breathtaking coast lines and the estuary . Branscombe beach drive down is not for the faint hearted haha but we got down there for a walk and a coffee . Loved Lyme Regis and Sidmouth the most. Next time we plan to visit the places we don’t have time for this time.

A short break

A beautiful little bolt hole to re charge the batteries. Beautiful garden and balcony where you can sit and enjoy the morning sun. Elaine is friendly and easy going. Lovely walks by the River Otter 2 mins away with the nearest town 5 mins drive. Would definitely pop back. Thank you.

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.
