We spent a lovely relaxing week at the Imaginary Barn. A gorgeous property: well-equipped, extremely clean and comfortable, with beautiful decor. A ‘welcome pack’ awaited us on arrival; a very thoughtful touch.The barn is situated in a very peaceful area, not far by car from Hartland village and Hartland Quay. It is also very close to the coastal path accessed by a footpath near to the property. We enjoyed many local walks with wonderful views over the rugged coastline. Highly recommended. Thank you Mandy and Mike.

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
