After being let down at very short notice by another holiday cottage provider we found last minute availability at the above property in Devon. Maggi, owner, ensured the cottage was ready for us and thankfully allowed us to salvage our week away. We and our 2 labradors had a fantastic time exploring the beautiful beaches and small villages/towns of north Devon and into Cornwall. The barn is cozy, bright and very comfortable - a perfect home from home and the garden was great for the dogs to have a mooch in. WiFi reception was very poor due the the barn being so rural but the owners were upfront about this as they were about the many potholes to be found on the small roads in the locality. Devon Council really needs to sort these out asap. Maggi and Charlie were great hosts - not intrusive but there if you needed them. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in rural Devon at Billy's Barn.

The cottage was lovely and clean, everything you could ask for, for a peaceful retreat. Maggi greeted us on arrival and gave us such a warm welcome and tips on places to visit. Sandymouth Bay is a definite must to visit with breathtaking views. The local pub Bradworthy Inn is also a must to visit with friendly staff and you couldnât fault the food or service. A special thank you Maggi.

The duvet, covers and pillows in the main bedroom need immediate replacement. We wouldn't use these for our dogs beds. The sofa's are cheap and uncomfortable. The outside garden was scruffy - grass too long and needed cutting - picking up dog poo difficult. Wooden garden furnish old and very damp - not maintained with regular wood treatment. All the weeds outside the main door doesn't look good - we don't buy the excuse about feeding the bees. Your promotional pictures don't show all the weeds. We felt uncomfortable about the proximity of your property to the holiday cottage - we felt like we were being watched. Example - you came around in a flash because our dogs were off lead whilst getting into our car to go out. This wasn't handled very well. On day of departure your cleaner parked up at exactly 10am outside the front door - we were almost finished but this pressure isn't a good look. We travel within the UK regularily on cottage holidays and this was our worst experience. I just got the impression that the owner couldn't really be bothered and was just going through the motions. My comments may appear bad but we moved onto our second cottage immediately after Billy's Barn the there was a massive difference in quality and friendliness from the owners.
