The house was perfect for what we wanted, a family birthday celebration. We could eat together in the dining room and the outside space was lovely. The owners were so helpful and even decorated the house for us before we arrived. The hot tub was lovely and is cleaned and checked regularly.

Outstanding house. Good communication throughout from booking to arrival - all additional questions answered quickly and thoroughly.Clear directions - street view also helped as driveway near to a turning in the road.Rooms prepared as requested - mix of single and multiple.Greeted by fresh scones and milk in the fridge. Lots of information in the welcome package - we needed information for induction hob! clear instructions for heating if needed.Hot tub was used and enjoyed by all.We all rated the property very highly and have already recommended it.Great value for money

We found Barwick to be a amazing place to stay , it had everything we could of asked for and more .Okehampton was only a ten minute drive away for shopping . The red lion had a food truck outside on the Friday evening ,which was good.
