J Owens
This Barn House in Ugborough was absolutely stunning. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need and of good quality. The large king size bed was very very comfortable (we didn’t use the other bedrooms). Could not fault the accommodation at all. Excellent lighting throughout and the fire was the cherry on the cake! We were there in storm Austen and could not have been in a more comfier place to return home to at the end of each day. The village pubs are a great asset - both very different but equally as good as each other. Fantastic church with bell ringing practice on a Thursday evening. Beautiful places to visit and all seem to be within 20-30 minute drive away. Will definitely be back to explore this area of Devon further.

Lovely cottage in a great little village, very comfortable, warm and well equipped, needs some TLC and a spruce up, but otherwise great. The stairs are very steep for anyone with mobility issues. Two great pubs in the village with fantastic food, good location to explore the area.
