The property is just as described, spacious and quiet and beautiful. Views from the lounge are breathtaking and as it's summer we spent a good deal of time with the patio doors open and the dog coming in and out. The yard is extremely well fenced (our beagle always checks). The house was well-stocked, clean, and easy. We had ZERO issues or nitpicks. The wifi was excellent, the dishes clean and plentiful, the appliances all worked (including an excellent washer/dryer), even the toilet paper was good quality. Philip was truly helpful and responded quickly when I had a query about getting a delivery. You should also know the location is superb, too superb really as there are so many interesting things to do within a 90 minute drive area that you will not possibly be able to do them all unless perhaps you stay for a month or more. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend it. Thank you to our hosts for such a magnificent trip.
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.
Lovely spacious property, very clean, beautiful views and very peaceful, just what we needed. Great garden for our dog very secure, he loved it! Lots of places to visit within half an hour and local town for shopping. Would highly recommend.
Have just had the perfect week in Little Owl Barn. Sunshine every day. Our 3 dogs loved the huge secure garden. Barn was very clean & had everything you needed. Coast only 45 mins away. Vey quiet & beautiful location. Hosts very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back. Canât fault anything.
We had a lovely stay. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The barn was very roomy, well equipped with beautiful views out of the patio window. Our granddaughters loved playing in the paddock, a real asset to the property. Its surrounded by beautiful countryside and the nearest village is only a
The barn was spacious and comfortable. The two bathrooms were a big plus. The kitchen was well equipped. The outside area was lovely and our dog - had she come - would have loved it. The place is very calm and relaxing. Philip was very helpful and responsive when we needed support.
The pillows in the master bedroom were rather flat. Intermittently, pressure in the shower was very low and/or the water was cold.
This spacious converted barn was perfect for our stay. Larger than it looks in the photos.
Well equipped kitchen with plenty of plates, glasses and cutlery. The hosts provided tea, milk and coffee supplies upon approval which was appreciated before going to a bigger shop at the nearby grocery store. There was also salt and pepper. Plenty of soap and detergent too.
The location is in a peaceful setting with lovely views. In additional to the large tv in the living room which includes a dvd player, there were smaller TVs in the bedrooms. We also enjoyed the board games.
Hosts were helpful. Thank you for a pleasant stay.
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.
Weâd love to return when the weather is nicer to explore more.
The booking process was really easy and great communication from the owners before our arrival inc. great directions and nearby shops. The checking in process was easy and we were fortunate on this occasion to be able to enter the property earlier than originally planned. The property is as lovely as it looks on the pictures and all facilities that you need are provided. The outdoor space was certainly safe for my 2 dogs to run around and they loved it. The beds were incredibly comfortable also. There is plenty of space to sit at the kitchen table and eat or you can sit on the bench outside (weather permitting) and enjoy the views. There is ample room for all of your clothes, food and belongings and plenty of parking. The road in and out of the Little Owl Barn is a little hair-raising with some blind bends. We were able to visit Weymouth, Ilfracombe, Woolacoombe, Exeter and Exmouth within an hours drive of the Barn, but again some typical scary Devon country roads to contend with! The Barn has high ceilings upstairs which allows for lots of light to come in which is lovely. The bedrooms downstairs are cooler and darker allowing for a good nights sleep. Despite it being an old barn, there are no creaky floorboards or stairs and being quite remote it is very peaceful and tranquil. I would definitely recommend Little Owl Barn, great place, great hosts :-)
Wonderful holiday home with very friendly and helpful landlords.
A very beautiful house in a quiet location. Little owl barn was super clean and nicely decorated. A lot of space in the house and a huge garden. Also ideal for dog owners. The landlords Sarah and Philip were very friendly and helpful. An accommodation that we can recommend without any restriction.
Thank you for everything!

Very clean and felt comfortable. Very peaceful with amazing views across fields to the Monument. Well equipped kitchen with more than enough for our needs. Friendly hosts made us feel welcome and answered our questions. Good instructions on how to get to the house and helpful information on restaurants.
This place more than met our expectations! Its easily the nicest place we have stayed as a group of 4 adults and 3 dogs. The dogs were in heaven with their wonderful grounds. It was well equipped and very comfortable. Philip was so helpful. We are looking forward to returning next . Thanks đ
We stayed here for a week from Easter Saturday. We had our 2 dogs with us that absolutely loved the garden and paddock to play in. The home was spacious,light, clean and very well equipped. We will definitely wish to return and recommend anyone to stay here.
We have just spent a fabulous nine nights at Little Owl. Marchâs weather is always a bit hit and miss but we had a glorious day of sunshine on the beach in Sidmouth. Most days were spent with crisp but dry walks with the dogs in the locality. You have to see the zombie rams in a local farm, aesthetically challenged but very calm as we walked through their field with three dogs. A ten minute drive takes you to Culmstock Beacon and stunning panoramic views . Heddons mouth and Hunters Inn is just over an hour way, but well worth a visit. The house is beautiful, clean and well equipped, the huge garden and neighbouring secure paddock are a godsend. Our dogs are small terriers but were still unable to escape . I went riding about 45 mins away at Pine lodge , which was chilly but beautiful. Paul celebrated his 60th birthday during our stay and Phil and Sarah kindly left us a chilled bottle of Fizz in the fridge, which was very kind. We will come again .
The barn was beautiful with fantastic views of the countryside. I found it was very well equipped with everything we needed for the week. The host was really friendly and helpful. Highly recommend a stay here
From the communication with Phillip & Sarah before we arrived to the day we left everything was excellent. The house is lovely and exactly as described, it was the perfect base for our holiday and the dog loved having the huge enclosed garden to run around in. The owners have created a wonderful property and base to enjoy Somerset from or just to relax in a beautiful house with stunning views.
What a beautiful barn conversion. Philip was so welcoming and called to make sure we had settled in and had everything we needed. We really enjoyed our stay. Everything was top quality and very clean and tidy. There was plenty of space for the five of us both inside and out and the garden/paddock had beautiful views over the hills. Ideal for children to play or dogs to exercise. Location was excellent and so close to Taunton with many places to visit. Thank you. We would certainly have no hesitation in recommending this lovely find.
Great week relaxing at Little Owl Barn. The weather was amazing, the boys and our dog Percy made the most of the fantastic garden space - it was relaxing, comfortable and had everything we needed. The most amazing view from the patio where we had the pleasure of seeing the moon rise each evening and on our last night a super moon. Whatâs not to love!
I honestly cannot fault our weeks stay. Property is more than we could have asked for. Exceptionally clean, spacious, comfortable and the gardens were perfect for our dogs. Not 1 paddock but 2! It is perfectly located for trips out. We visited Devon (North and south) Dorset and areas of Somerset and nowhere was more than an hour away. The owners have thought of everything you would want and need. Absolutely exceptional. I have already had enquiries from dog loving friends and would thoroughly recommend. Thank you Philip and Susan.
Excellent barn / House. Facilities and cleaning top notch and the house is really good taken care of. Nice view and a perfect place for exploring summerset and Cornwall.
Just back from a weeks stay in this gorgeous converted barn with family of 3 plus the pooch.
First impression was that the barn was extremely clean and tidy and very well equipped. The upstairs open plan living space is huge, and the bedrooms are roomy and beds are super comfy.
Owners Philip and Sarah go above and beyond to make sure your stay is as pleasant and comfortable as possible, nothing seems to be too much trouble. From the tea, coffee, milk and bottled water provided to linen, towels and even toilet rolls,
We enjoyed some very much needed family connection time and thoroughly enjoyed sitting outside with a glass of wine playing a few card and board games. We also relaxed on the reclining sofas on some evenings and watched a movie.
The enclosed paddock has stunning views and was a just the perfect place for our 2 year old vizsla to run around, especially with the heatwave, it meant he could still run around without the risk of burning his pads on hot pavements.
We did a few local walks that Philip had recommended and they were beautiful. Highly recommend this barn if you want some relaxing down time and to completely unwind.
Definitely plan to revisit and have recommended to a few friends already.
Thank you Philip and Sarah, it is rare to find a holiday rental so clean and accommodating
First impressions when we arrived was wow! Parking excellent and everything perfect when we arrived. We have three dogs and as soon as we went upstairs to the main living area and they saw a rabbit in the huge enclosed acre of field they flew out and we hardly ever saw them.
Normally at home we walk them twice a day. No need here. It was so hot that we wouldnât have gone out with them anyway but saying that we relaxed fully knowing they were so safe.
The barn itself was everything we needed. Comfortable beds and two bathrooms.
It would be perfect for families too as the children have freedom to explore.
Area perfect. Appears isolated but within a couple of miles of everything you need in Wellington. Close to Taunton and we hit the cricket Twenty/20. Beautiful little ground compared to our huge Old Trafford.
Walks in area are fab for dogs.
We didnât hit local tourist haunts due to having 3 dogs but we were chomping at the bit to explore as so much to do.
We didnât realise Somerset was so beautiful. Iâd like to rent this place all summer and go home during the winter.
Sadly we returned home. Dogs very subdued and we just want to return.
We will be back.
