Summary: We've just returned from an amazing stay in Barn End Cottage. On arrival we were welcomed with some delicious home made scones and locally produced cider which got our trip off to the perfect start. The accomodation itself is gorgeous and has a very traditional cottage style, but comes with all modern amenities plus the added bonus of a gaming room which my daughter loved. The cottage literally has everything you need and more for a perfect holiday (one day we had fresh popcorn for breakfast using the machine my 9 y/o spotted :). The cottage is also located in a beautiful part of North Devon and provides a great base for visiting some exquisite beaches and some great traditional pubs for some nice food. Nathan, Helen and family were also great hosts and were always on hand to ensure that you had the perfect stay, We will defintely be back!

Summary: We had a lovely few days staying in Barn Cottage. Nathan made us feel really welcome and provided us with all the info we needed. The cottage is gorgeous and has everything in it - from an arcade game machine to a popcorn maker. We loved it. Bedrooms were spacious and beds comfy.

Summary: Just got home from a fab time in this beautiful cottage. Owners Nathen and Helen so friendly and made us all feel so welcome. The cottage has everything and more you need for your stay. Christmas tree and decs were beautiful and the home made scones melt in your mouth 😋😋. From the beautiful decorated cottage, really comfy beds, amazing views from hot tub too. Dogs enjoyed their stay and cooking on a Aga for first time with tips, and guides given we had a perfect Christmas roast. I could of stayed longer, truly relaxing time. 😁

Summary: Five of us came here from Exeter for a relaxing break before the school holidays finished and we all had to go back to work. We wanted somewhere cosy to play board games by a fire but with enough space that we could spread out and do our own things during the day. Stairway to Devon gave us all these things and threw in a brilliant hot tub as well! Helen and Nathan were fantastic hosts, making sure we had everything we needed including information on how to cook with an Aga (we got the hang of it). As we left one of our cars wouldn’t start and they were incredibly kind and got help from a neighbour who helped jump start the car so we could be on our way. Highly recommend for some quiet time away at any time of the year - even if the weather is bad there’s plenty to do! Thank you Helen and Nathan!

Summary: Awesome place. Wonderful hosts. The house is very well equipped. Easily the best place we have stayed at. The hot tub, fire-pit, arcade and popcorn machine were all big hits. We loved it.
Frances C. Aug 11, 2023 03:22:11 AM
Summary: We had such a lovely stay at 'Stairway to Devon'. Nathan and Helen were very welcoming, with a few ciders and scones ready for our arrival. The house was beautifully presented and had everything we could possibly dream of. The games room kept the children (2-7 year old) totally entertained and the adults loved it too. Little touches like the popcorn machine and corns to pop and the ninja blender for some yummy cocktails made it a wonderful stay and far and above any house stay I have experienced before. As with any British holiday, you run a risk of having bad weather and unfortunately we had a lot of rain but with the hot tub and endless things to do in the house our spirits couldn't be dampened, despite the rain's best efforts! Thank you again, you have thought of everything!!!
