Great Eckworthy - The Barn

We just completed an incredible stay at Great Eckworthy cottages in the 6 sleeper with our family from the US and UK and our fur baby Well before our arrival, Anna contacted me with recommendations of the surrounding areas, which really helped us plan our visit in advance. Upon arriving, we were enthusiastically greeted by Chris and Anna, who gave us a very warm welcome and a tour of the beautiful cottage. They also left a tray of fresh local eggs, coffee, and milk with a handwritten welcome note. This was a lovely personal touch, which was greatly appreciated The cottage itself was impeccable. It was very pet friendly and had a fully enclosed backyard for our fur baby to roam freely. We had 3 good-sized rooms and bathrooms , a lovely, spacious living and dining room and a fully spec'd kitchen. The cottage contained everything we needed over the weekend, including dog throws and bowls, games, books, and the softest gowns that we wouldn't even find in a luxury hotel. We especially loved the hot tub and the fact that the hosts refilled it on the second day of our stay. During our stay, we made the most of the recommendations given to us by Anna. We did a walk in Hartland Quay and had gorgeous dinners at the Black River Inn and the Royal George Inn in appledore. It was an all round amazing, good-for-the soul stay, and we already can't wait to return. A huge thank you to Chris and anna...

Simply perfect. We travelled together as a family of three couples, so having three superking bedrooms with three shower/bathrooms was ideal for us and exactly what we wanted when considering accommodation in Devon. The property is just as described on the website and very well looked after. It is spotlessly clean and well equipped with tasteful furnishings and extra little touches which make it a special place to stay. The outside space has a hot tub and sunloungers, with a dining table and chairs - perfect for alfresco relaxing. We had beautiful weather in mid May yet had the added benefit of the logburner for chilly evenings. Anna and Chris are really welcoming whilst giving their guests complete privacy. We all loved The Barn at Great Eckworthy and can't wait to return - it is simply perfect for us and ticks all our boxes. ...

Perfect accommodation for three couples who want privacy, exceptional accommodation in and outdoor, with five star attention to detail.

Simply lovely. This was our second stay, the first with the new owners, Anna and Chris. Nothing was too much trouble. They have improved an already fabulous property. There are three good sized rooms and bathrooms so can easily suit six people with ease. The decor is lovely and high-end. It was secluded which suited us and the dog and had the added benefit of a secure field for the dog and an outside patio and jacuzzi for us. Although they couldn't control the weather for us we had a great time as it's only a few miles to the beach (Westward Ho!, Instow and Appledore) and the dog-friendly pubs (The Bell Inn - Parkham for Sunday lunch, the Instow Arms - Instow and The Beaver Inn - Appledore). Even if you don't want to drive there is plenty to do at the property, including walks, BBQ, nature watching and star gazing at night. We can't wait to return....

Thank you to our hosts for a fabulous New Year Break. The house was immaculate and very comfortable for 6 adults. The views from the cottage of the countryside were superb.
