The owners met us on arrival and were available while we were there. The property was spotless and all the fixtures and fittings were high quality. Had everything needed for a week away. Both pubs in the village have now reopened and serve good quality food at a sensible price. Main supermarkets are 20 minutes away in Barnstaple as are pretty much Read moreany shop or eating house you could need. Some might say it's a bit remote but that's what we wanted for peace and quiet. Would definitely return. Hide

A selection of beaches were easily accessible from the accommodation and Barnstaple was in easy reach for shopping. Emma and Adam were great hosts and very friendly.

We had a wonderfully comfortable stay at Pows Barn. The accommodation was spotlessly clean, thoughtfully presented and located in a very peaceful setting but with easy access to Barnstaple approx 15-20mins drive away.
