The family Bray were excellent hosts and couldn't have been more helpfull.. The converted barn was spot on. This is an ideal location for walking and cycling on Exmoor and area.

This was a great cottage for the whole family.. Our 2 and 1/2 year old grandson loved the animals and ducks. Loved every minute. It was a good base to explore Devon we spent quite a lot of time in westward ho!, instow ilfracombe and Appledore. People so friendly. Quince honey farm and Darlington class well worth a visit. We packed a lot into our week away, crabbing at appledore use bacon!!! Mackerel fishing and deep see fishing off Ilfracombe were extremely good fun. After covid a cottage holiday was the way to go with the whole three generations.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at West Bowden Farm in accommodation which is comfortable and spacious and has a well equipped kitchen.. Well away from the road, the peaceful location proved to be ideal for accessing the north west Devon coastline from Minehead through to Westward Ho and the beautiful Exmoor and Tarr Steps are particularly recommended. One of the best we have had the privilege to stay at.

People should be aware that the cottage is quite remote and it is a good idea to order a supermarket delivery of food as there are very few restaurants/pubs/shops within a 10 mile radius.. The owners are very welcoming, and the barn conversion is very well equipped. There is no private garden attached and the farm dogs can become a nuisance with their barking. This is a working farm so expect tractors and animals. However, we had a very enjoyable stay and would recommend, especially if you like walking. Most seaside resorts are within an hours drive.

What can I say, the barn was perfect for our family get away.. The farm itself is beautiful and the area surrounding had so many places to see and walk. Id recommend it without hesitation to anyone.

Lovely cottage, in attractive location.. Clean and comfortable, spacious rooms and well equipped kitchen. Excellent location to get to Exmoor and North Devon coast.

We found the holiday home very comfortable and great for relaxing.. It's a great base for exploring the many delights of both Exmoor and Dartmoor. The only issue we found is a lack of mobile phone reception and poor internet. Personally, I didn't have a problem as it was actually good to almost be "off grid".
