This is one of the cleanest and comfortable places we have stayed, the owner made us very welcome and left us an excellent welcome pack which included a lovely homemade cake.. The quality of the accommodation was in our opinion outstanding with every home comfort. We visited the Devonshire Dumpling for pub food twice and were very impressed with not only the food but we also felt very ‘Covid safe’. This is a lovely quiet location for a get away from it all holiday.

Barn Shelley is an absolutely lovely place to stay.. Perfect surroundings and great location in mid Devon. The lodge has everything you would ever need and more, the scenery was perfect and the sheep neighbours are very well behaved. Audrey the owner was around when needed but left you undisturbed. My daughters helped bottle feed some lambs and it was one of their highlights of the year. We will definitely return - 5*!

Barn Shelley Lodge is superb accommodation.. It has an incredibly well stocked kitchen, fantastic bathrooms and in a quiet setting. The hosts left us a fabulous welcome package of bacon, eggs, milk and a homemade cake. Highly recommend as a base for exploring Devon

Miss Butler, November 2019

One of the best cottages we've stayed in.. Beautifully clean, spacious and comfortable. A warm welcome, thoughtful welcome package and the knowledge that the owners were to hand if needed but not intrusive. We definitely recommend and would visit again. Thank you.

This was our second stay at Barn Shelly Lodge this year and it was as nice as we remembered it.. The owners Audrey and Terry are great and friendly. Lovely home made cake and apple juice included in the welcome pack. Sykes very easy to book with once you find a place you like.

Barn Shelly lodge is one of the best places we have stayed in.. My husband had never stayed in a wooden lodge he loved it and wanted to stay. So we have booked again for later in the year hopefully without the rain. The bits left by Audrey were very faultful and much appreciated and she made us feel welcome. All the comforts of home away from home.

Mr Bloodworth

Lovely place very comfortable.. Excellent Furnishings.will return again

Mrs Shaw

Complete directions.. Spotless. Welcome breakfast kit and cake were an unexpected surprise. The lodge is furnished with everything (and more) one wants on a holiday. Setting is idyllic. I could easily live there the way it’s furnished. The owners are amazing. I would return in a nanosecond. Could find no fault in anything.

Barn Shelley Lodge was outstanding.. Everything about the lodge was excellent, the finish and the quality of everything from towels to bedding to kitchen equipment was fabulous. The surroundings are beautiful and the views from every window are gorgeous as are the friendly sheep. Audrey was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We had a delicious home baked cake left amongst other local goodies for us to enjoy which was very much appreciated. We would recommend Barn Shelley Lodge to anyone and hope to return in the future for another relaxing holiday.

Beautiful lodge in idyllic setting.. Pictures don’t quite do it justice - you just have to book it and be prepared to fall in love!!! It was exceptionally clean with high quality fittings, furniture etc. Hosts were helpful and attentive. We thoroughly recommend this log cabin! Perfectly situated to explore the whole of Devon as indeed we did!

Comfortable lodge with good facilities extra touches like clocks in bed rooms

Mr Ross-munro

Barn Shelley lodge was absolutely fantastic, I would go as far as to say it’s the best one yet ( although others have been good).. The owners were very nice and friendly without imposing. The setting was brilliant so peaceful, yet not too far from attractions. Everything you may need was included, the kitchen was above first class, it was fully equipped with high quality cutlery, crockery, pans, and utensils. The sofas were extremely comfortable and the beds gave you a wonderful nights sleep. There was plenty of literature about places to visit, there were torches should you need them. Having a washing machine and a dryer in the laundry room was a bonus as was a dishwasher in the kitchen. My wife and I said that it was the most restful and enjoyable holiday in this country that we have had.

If it’s complete rest and relaxation Barn Shelley Lodge in Copplestone fits the bill exactly. We have just returned from 2 weeks there and it is the most beautiful setting for a stunning lodge. It has everything you may need, a fantastic well equipped kitchen, 2 extremely comfortable sofas, beds that are sumptuous, an ensuite shower room with a fantastic shower that was the best way to start a day, plus a bathroom with shower over bath. The views were wonderful from the front porch which you can sit on and admire the surroundings and watch the “neighbours” (sheep). You are within fairly easy reach of several things to do, RHS Rosemoor, Powderham Castle, Tiverton for a bit of retail therapy, Bow garden centre for a very yummy Sunday lunch, Darlington Crystal and Dartmoor with the ponies. The owners were very friendly and the welcome pack was much appreciated. We returned home totally refreshed and have already decided that we will definitely be booking again for next year.

We had a smashing weeks holiday.. We enjoyed the peace and quiet but found we were in easy distance from many tourist attractions. Audrey and Terry were fantastic we could not have wished for more. Thank you Jan and Alan

Ms Nevin

Wow, Barn Shelly is fabulous.. Sheer luxury, everything is to the highest specification. It is in a terrific location, for sight seeing, for footpaths on the door step, for a vast selection of great pubs within a 10-15 minute drive, for peace and quiet. What more could we ask for? What about a welcome pack - there was homemade apple juice, eggs, biscuits, bread , tea , coffee , milk and a friendly welcome from Audrey. The lodge is surrounded by fields with a pedigree flock to keep you entertained. We loved it and we are sure you will. The brochure photos do not do justice to Barn Shelly.

During our week storm Emma and what the BBC called the beast from the east arrived.. The water pump froze so we had no water. Audrey and Terry worked tirelessly in freezing conditions to solve this problem and Audrey offered bottled water in the interim. The temperatures were sub zero and then snow arrived and we were truly snowed in. Audrey checked we were warm and comfortable throughout this bad weather and that we had everything we needed. On the day we were due to leave the snow was still bad and Audrey told us not to feel we had to leave and that we were welcome to stay an extra night until conditions improved. As we have a 4 wheel drive car we were able (just!!) to make our way to the main road. Audrey texted later in the afternoon to check we had got home safely. Audrey gave us a very warm welcome and we had a lovely welcome pack of cookies, milk, bread, apple juice & eggs. She provided excellent hospitality and comfort. The lodge itself was stunning. It was spotlessly clean and very well equipped with all mod cons you would ever need. We would certainly love to visit again but maybe in the summer next time!

Exceeded all expectations! We spent a very happy relaxing week with friends- and hope to return again. One of the best cottages we have stayed at. This cottage has it all: position, class and comfort - and fitted out to the highest specifications. Add to this a friendly helpful owner and you have the recipe for a perfect break!

We could not fault the lodge or the welcome we received.. The purpose built cabin was immaculately clean, extremely well equipped and very comfortable. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Being centrally located we could easily travel to all of the locations planned for our week. I would recommend Barn Shelley Lodge to anyone who wants a holiday cottage in Devon.
