We had a lovely week here despite the weather. The hayloft is fully stocked with everything you would need for a comfortable week. It is spotlessly clean and has very comfortable and good quality furnishings. The garden is pristine and such a joy to sit in and watch all the birds. We had a lovely welcome and cream tea on arrival. The location is great and is very peaceful. The surrounding area is beautiful with great access to local walks and beaches. The pub is just down the road which serves beautiful food. I would have no hesitation in recommending this lovely and extremely good value for money cottage. Thank you

We have just spent a week at The Hayloft, a lovely barn conversion, with the added bonus of its own small private garden. Everything was clean and well presentedA cream tea awaited us on our arrival which was much appreciated. The village of Berrynarbor is small but does have a small community shop/post office. Be prepared to drive a bit more sedately the roads are extremely narrow, but you soon get used to them. Our hosts were lovely and only too happy to give you local information if required.

Very cosy cottage with everything we needed for a comfortable week’s holiday. Ann, the owner, greeted us on arrival and made us feel very welcome, also helped by the cream tea in the fridge!With the weather being rather cold and damp it was great to have excellent heating available in the cottage.The location is wonderful for exploring Exmoor, North Devon and much of Somerset too if you wish.
