What a great 2nd trip back at Great Ash Barn! As per our previous trip, we arrived to a lovely fresh baked cake with the other welcoming treats, such as apple juice and milk. That was really appreciated.
We have had an incredible family holiday, all 3 generations loved being here and our daughter Ellie (two & a half) especially enjoyed being with the animals and playing with all the toys, inside and out.
Special thanks to Thomas and Steph for taking us on the goat experience. Ellie loved feeding, walking and getting to know how to stroke goats. Steve kindly took Ellie for a trip round the field on one of the tractors (she was nervous at first but now she can't stop talking about it!). We all miss the morning walk out to see if there are any fresh eggs in the barn for breakfast too.
The cottage is so well equipped, we couldn't ask for more. Thank you all for being so welcoming and for a great time. We can't wait to come back!

Just wanted to say thank you again for a wonderful stay at Great Ash Barn. We had a really lovely few days and as always everything was great.
I'm sure we will be back as it is a place we have come to really enjoy being.
Thank you.

We have had a fantastic week away at Great Ash Barn. On arrival our expectations were instantly exceeded with the lovely cake, apple juice, milk and eggs. Our 22 month old daughter Ellie was very excited to see all the toys to play with indoors and out. We have all thoroughly enjoyed watching the animals and going to see the hens to collect eggs. We also really appreciated being able to walk around the fields to take in more of the stunning views. The cottage is so well equipped- we couldn't have asked for more. We would love to come back again as the holiday has given us so many wonderful memories. Had a tasty meal not to far away at the New Inn, Coleford and enjoyed meeting Captain the Parrot. Cant wait to come back for another amazing holiday.
Thanks to Steph And Steve.

We have very much enjoyed out time here. the brilliant location meant we could take our dog on lots of exciting walks. The cottage is very dog friendly and the owners are very friendly too. All of the rooms were very nice aswell, the open plan loving room and kitchen is very nicely laid out. Once again our stay was absolutely lovely and we will, certainly consider coming again.

WOW! What can we say other than a huge thank you. The cottage is truly amazing, you have thought of everything! We were made to feel so welcome by your whole family and thanks for letting us share your farm with us. It has been truly magical. We cant wait to come and stay again. Thanks.

Purfect, perfect space to spend a couple days. Enjoyed the chickens pure tranquillity, pouring rain with a few rays of golden sun in between. Beautiful bulls, cows, geese, lovely. Thank you. Downstairs space idyllic.

We had an amazing time this week. We enjoyed the long walks seeing the cows, day trips to Crediton and Exeter and spending time as a family. The house is lovely it had everything we needed for the week. We really loved the cream tea to celebrate the coronation. It was made to perfection. We will defiantly be coming back to this beautiful house for a third time.

What a fabulous week!
This place is simply amazing and so relaxing. And neighbours: Highland Cattle, chickens ducks are so lovely. Loved the attention on arrival, cake apple juice and so on, all these things make a trip memorable. Thanks you so much for everything and see you soon for another fab holiday.

We have stayed at the farm a number of times now, as a couple as well as with offspring and dogs at times. Each time we fall further in love with the farm, people and surrounding area. We come from a built up area, with all the husle and bustle, stress and nonsense that's comes with it. The sense of release you find arriving at such a tranquil location, walking into such a beautiful, well appointed and spotlessly clean cottage is staggering.
The place is better in the flesh than any photograph can show and we all find it washes away all the tension of our daily lives.
Steph, Steve, the boys and Bramble (pooch) are genuinely lovely and make you feel so welcome. Tom's egg supply is endless (both Ducks and Chickens) and we particularly love a cuppa on the patio, first thing in the morning with the complete serenity (plus the odd moooo) and fantastic views over West Dartmoor.
It comes to something when you don't want to leave a review, as it will encourage other people to come and intrude on what feels like our little secret! Visit once and I guarantee you will feel the same!

We've just got back to Portsmouth, having spent a fantasticly quiet and restful week at Great Ash Barn and can truthfully say that it's the a fantastically well appointed holiday let in an area without the distractions of modern living. Many thanks and hope to return next year.

Great holiday, fantastic accommodation with amazing views and some wonderful local walks. Definitely stay again.
