Wonderful!
Woodpecker Barn is spacious with three large double bedrooms and plenty of living space. Lovely area and outlook across the fields. The play area and games room for all aged children plus the indoor pool was enjoyed. Louise was helpful and everything ran very smoothly. Would highly recommend and would stay again if in the area.

Fantastic Woodpecker Barn
Woodpecker Barn was amazing perfect for our family with young children. Well equipped and beautifully decorated. private fenced garden was a plus. Good Location to get to places but you have to be ok with very narrow lanes as there are lots of them . Would definitely recommend

A great accommodation .
A wonderful accommodation in a small development of converted barns. The barn is pristine, beautifully decorated and furnished and has everything a family would need for a holiday. Stair gates , travel cots and a high chair are provided along with a range of indoor and out door toys and games. The garden is private and fenced so very safe for children. The on-site swimming pool, playground and games room are great for keeping everyone entertained. The views from the barn are amazing and our grandchild was delighted to see the sheep and cows in the adjacent fields. A delightful accommodation that we hope to visit again.

Lovely barn but pool issues were disappointing
Pros - the barn is comfy, well equipped, warm and was well set up for us staying with friends and children (toys, potty, toddler cutlery and plates, 2 high chairs set up as we'd requested). We also enjoyed the games room Cons - one big negative was that the pool had a mechanical fault during our stay, so it was very cold when we did go in, and then closed for the rest of our stay. We were disappointed as we'd especially looked for places with a pool for our January stay, to entertain the little ones when it rained (which it did, a lot!)

Woodpecker Barn
This is a fantastic place to stay - spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything you might need. The accommodation was perfect for the four adults and two young children. The kitchen and living room are both large and well appointed. There is a swimming pool and games room which were great if you want to spend some time on site. It is a perfect location if you are visiting South Devon, Totnes, Torquay, Slapton Sands, Newton Abbott all within easy reach. Dartmoor National Park is well worth visting . The Cathedral City of Exeter is 25 miles away. We visited both Paignton Zoo and Pennywell Farm which are great childrens attractions I would highly recommend this property for a family stay in Devon.

Superb barn, fully equipped. Lovely location. Swimming pool added bonus
Absolutely spot on with the description of the barn, couldn’t have asked for anything more. Barn was very clean. Communication with owner was good, I did have issue with oven and grill owner got back very quickly, but this was mainly on my part as didn’t read instructions properly. Overall fantastic stay would definitely stay again and recommend to family and friends. Good amount of toys for children, games, dvd’s. Lovely private garden with ample garden furniture and parasol Just a lovely relaxing stay. Thank you

Superb Location
From the moment we arrived on Saturday 26 June 2021 with the sun shining we were impressed with the property. Everything we could want was provided. Plenty of space and very comfortable bedrooms. The whole house has been very tastefully furnished. On Sunday it rained all day so a couple of us used the swimming pool and a couple had a game of pool.. The weather from there on was sunshine each day so we took several day trips, the location is ideal for touring. The garden, overlooking fields of sheep was a delight for relaxing with a BBQ and a glass of wine. The end of our week came too quickly and we were sad to leave.
