Very well appointed detached conversion in a lovely quiet location.. Rural but easy driving distance to Barnstaple. Open plan layout suited our needs (six month old baby) perfectly. Beds very comfortable and sofa perfect to relax on at the end of the day. The lake was a nice surprise! Highly recommended.

Though nice the location was too remote for us.. Easier to get to during the day but harder at night.

Spacious cottage with modern interior.. Immaculately decorated and beautifully clean. The owners are extremely helpful and pleasant. Everything you could wish for has been catered for. Situated just 5 Miles from Barnstaple. Would definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful week in this beautiful cottage.. We were welcomed warmly and shown around the property and grounds and treated to homemade brownies. Carole and Geoff were very friendly and dealt with a couple of very minor issues immediately. We loved the light airy barn conversion. Our grandchildren played happily with all the toys and games available and especially loved being taken around the lake in the rowing boat. There are lots of lovely beaches in the area and lots to do for families. Probably the best family holiday we have had in a long time - we recommend this property highly.

Wow, this is a truly wonderful holiday home. The owners were friendly and welcoming. This is definitely a 5 star barn, from the spacious, spotless accommodation right the way down to the complimentary toiletries. There was everything a family of four needed for the week. The children's bunk bedroom is super cute: beautifully decorated and filled with teddies and toys. The upstairs bedrooms are very spacious and comfortable with built-in wardrobes and even clothes hangers. The kitchen is well equipped with plenty of cutlery and crockery, including an electric whisk and a set of scales. We had a brilliant week in Devon. The barn is handy for lots of great attractions. We visited The Big Sheep, Exmoor Zoo, Arlington Court as well as Appledore and the beach. I would definitely recommend a stay at Cross Syke Barn.

Had a wonderful time at Syke Barn, not too far out from Barnstaple in a tranquil part of Devon.. The barn was immaculate and furnished beautifully. Great countryside where you could see trees and hills around you. We even saw sheep outside our windows. Though it was cold and rainy outside there was enough to do inside for all ages. All types of games were available as well as space to play football and bat and ball. Lived the electric train set and Lego. The wifi really helped with the teenager's need to stay in touch with friends. The kitchen was well equipped we even cooked a roast one evening. The log fire was really cosy in the evening. The bedrooms were all reasonably sized and far enough apart that there was space for the 6 of us. Just be careful if you have a teenager they can use up the hot water! Glad it only happened once. We enjoyed trying out Alexa! to get the weather and listen to music. It was easy to get around with trips to Barnstaple, Woolacombe, Morton Hoe and Arlington Court. Tesco also delivered to the house which really helped. The owners were lovely and left us an amazing lemon cake. Definitely felt spoilt, they were on hand but left us to ourselves. Couldn't ask for more and catered for our different age range.

Perfect choice for a trip to the Devon countryside. Cross Skye Barn is modern, super comfortable, surprisingly spacious and in a really beautiful setting. Kitted out with everything you could need and more, including games for nights in, and a beautiful pond/lake with a row boat, perfect for the summer time. stunning places for walking and really beautiful beaches a short drive away. We had an amazing time and would highly recommend a visit!

This is a wonderful, modern barn with beautiful views and country walks on the doorstep. It’s modern yet very cosy and perfect to relax in on a winter evening. It’s clearly very well looked after and the owners are welcoming and accommodating. We brought our 6 month old son and he loved it. Everything was very clean and tidy (important with the little man in tow!) and the location is perfect for nice country walks up and down all sorts of trails and pathways. There’s even a big stock of DVDs, toys, games and puzzles to focus on in the evenings. We can’t recommend it highly enough for a family-friendly country holiday. We will be back!
