Jun 19, 2018 #### Lovely short break Lovely accommodation and location. Small village, no shop only a pub which was closed while we were there. Ideally located for Exmoor (Tarr Steps) also the Tarka Trail. Hired bikes and cycled to Bideford and walked the trail (on another day) to Braunton. A thoroughly lovely few days away. The weather was very good which is always and added bonus! ##### Gillian D. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sabrina H. Dec 30, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cosy and close to beaches We stayed over Christmas this year and the property was extremely toasty and warm! Loads of room for everyone! Hosts were lovely. We didn't visit the pub but we did have a lovely walk on Boxing Day in Ilfracombe, which is very easy to get to and the drove back to Goodleigh via the very beautiful coastal road. If you have prey driven dogs like us be advised the garden is not enclosed, which just means you have to be vigilant when letting your hounds out. There are loads of shops in Barnstaple which is only a couple of miles away. Would definitely visit again and highly recommend. ##### Sabrina H.

A nice spacious holiday home, in a scenic quiet location, with friendly host. Was great to have 2 parking spaces, right next to the property and a small enclosed garden to let our dogs run around in and the welcome pack was a nice touch. The level of cleanliness was a bit disappointing, all floors and surfaces has been thoroughly cleaned, but the walls and ceilings were full of spiders webs and spiders. So we spent the first 2 hours of our stay cleaning. The 2 couches were extremely soft and the kitchen tap constantly dipped. Also there was no toilet paper, luckily we had brought some with us. Overall we did enjoyed our stay at the Byre and the location, with a few small improvements, it would be a perfect holiday home. ### 8/10 Good #### Sarah P. Sep 9, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The Byre An all too short weeks break. Ideally situated for a variety of activities and a lovely place to come home to each evening. We’ll appointed but a few niggles with missing lightbulbs which needed replacing. Very responsive hosts. Something for consideration may be hand rails down the steps between areas if staying with older family. ##### Sarah P. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jackie C.

Located in a very quiet location is this spacious, well equipped holiday home. Plenty of room for our group of 4 adults, 1 child and two small dogs. It has a fenced off part of the garden for the dogs complete with BBQ, a pond and a bigger open grassed area. The dining table seats 6 with ease. Two bathrooms so no queueing in the mornings. Very near Barnstaple for shopping and easy driving to numerous beaches. 2 minute walk to the pub in the village. The owner lives next door and is very discreet. ##### Martin Y. Stayed 7 nights in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sue A. Mar 15, 2018 #### THE BEAUTIFUL BYRE This beautiful conversion, way exceeded expectation. You can never really tell from a picture how big or small the accommodation is actually going to be. I was beginning to doubt my decision to book, as wondered whether there would be enough space to escape my grandchildren - love them, but they don't come with volume controls. On entering this property, I was instantly "wowed", even without doing the customary "reccy". A kitchen most people would be very proud of, and extremely well equipped. A dining area big enough for all of us to sit round and have room for serving dishes and am ample lounge area. The master bedroom was huge, the two further bedrooms were perfectly adequate. It was nice to have the choice of bath or shower. The children preferred the bath, the adults the shower - which worked and plenty of hot water. The barn is obviously well insulated - I had to keep turning the heating down. I would like to pick up this dwelling, plonk it in the middle of a nice plot of land and live in it happily ever after. ##### Sue A.
