Our second stay at the Imaginary Barn, and we will be back again next year. The weather was a bit hit and miss during our stay, but nonetheless we enjoyed our time here. Highly recommended, thank you Mandy and Mike!

Excellent place to stay. Quiet location. The barn has everything that you need. Only complaint was that the blinds in the twin room were very thin and did not keep out the sun - not ideal for kids trying to sleep

We had a wonderful week away in this lovely, peaceful spot in North Devon. The location is beautifully secluded, which was ideal for us as we were looking for a quiet and relaxing break. The accommodation was spotless — cleanliness was definitely 5 stars, and it was extremely comfortable and well-equipped with everything we needed for our stay.Although local amenities aren’t within walking distance (about 2 miles away in Hartland), we didn’t mind as it added to the sense of peace and privacy. The property offered great value for money, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to unwind and enjoy the countryside.Overall, a great holiday in a tranquil setting — we’d happily return!
