  The cottage is located in the lovely village of Winckley.

  Winckley is a quiet village with all the amenities you require including a post office, a general store, two pubs and various pop up eateries throughout the week. We arrived on a Saturday to find a Thai kitchen set up in the nearby community centre car park. This was lovely and the food was very tasty. Parking was not a problem and we managed to park near the cottage all week without any hassle. The cottage has everything you need including a utility room with a washer & drier. The master bedroom is spacious and the second bedroom was loved by our son who enjoyed the bunk beds ! There are lots of nice touches around the cottage and we would recommend it to couples and a family with one or two young children. We used it as a base and travelled to all parts of Devon from the cottage. Saunton Sands was a favourite of ours and it took about 45 mins to get there. It took us about 90 mins to get to Salcombe from the cottage too. We loved it. We wouldn’t hesitate on visiting again. My 3 year old son said he loved his holiday home !! Thank you.

  Quite frankly, the Owl Barn is far more beautiful and comfortable in person than it is in the pictures!

  ! I had a wonderful holiday! The view of the rolling hills was fantastic and it was great to wake up every morning, sit on the patio with tea and look at the countryside and forget all the worries and stress of daily labour and toil. The property is perfectly located. Not too far from a café or Tavistock, not too close to civilization. It’s the perfect sweet spot and has everything you need right there at hand. The kitchen is fully equipped and I whipped up some great meals with everything I needed. The owner, Ms Roberts, was courteous and very kind and she even left clotted cream and jam with scones for her guests so we could have an authentic Devonshire cream tea. Absolute bliss! It was the best holiday of my life and I will definitely be hiring the place again in the future to see more of Dartmoor and to relax and chill after months of work and toil. Ten out of ten, would book again!

  We had a lovely stay in Owl Barn.

  Great views and friendly neighbours in the form of sheep (and new born lambs) and horses! It was warm and cosy, comfortable beds and though it didn’t have a washing machine (or dishwasher) due to limited space, it had everything we needed. Suitable for people with limited mobility and a useful wet room. Obviously, being on a farm there were some narrow lanes to reach it, but you would expect that in a rural setting. Not a problem. The owners were helpful and friendly too. My two grandsons really enjoyed staying, and made use of the play barn. It was conveniently situated for the area i.e. Plymouth, Tavistock, Dartmoor etc, and we would have liked to have stayed longer. It would be nice to return when the weather is warmer. Overall, a lovely stay in a lovely setting.

  From the moment we arrived, we couldn’t believe the views .

  .then as we entered the cottage it was like home from home . The cleanliness of the place was exceptional. The comfort of the cottage was amazing very comfy sofas in the front room look out onto such amazing scenery as you sip on your glass of Rose! Fully equipped kitchen !! 2 bathrooms . Night time the beds were super comfy with the softest bedding . We couldn’t fault the place, even though it rained we left the patio doors open and just listened to the rain. We cannot fault this place and will definitely be booking again ..we have found our little haven .

  What a delightful property ~ so quiet and peaceful and a fantastic view !

  We were welcomed with a cream tea and box of eggs and milk in the 'fridge while Jackie and her family were charming and happy to do anything to make our stay comfortable. We came specifically to explore the surrounding area but Owl Barn and it's view together with the sheep and horses meant we were content to spend more time "at home" rather than exploring. Thank you Jackie and we hope to return sometime. The property being on one floor and having an enclosed garden was also ideal for our deaf and blind dog.
