Another great week at Virvale Barn.. The week went so quick and the weather was fantastic. From having breakfast on the patio which catches the sun in the morning to the fire in the evening in the living room. If you want peace and quiet with a fantastic view down the valley this is the place to go.Ideal for the visits to the beach and another gem found at Lee Bay. Don't bother looking elsewhere in Devon for your perfect accommodation and location it's here!

Virvale Barn is a fabulous place, set in amazing countryside and wonderfully peaceful.. The hosts made us feel very welcome and couldn’t be more helpful. I’d recommend this place wholeheartedly.

All of it.... The cottage was one of the best equipped cottages we've ever stayed in. The cottage was so peaceful and quiet and the owners were so welcoming. It is highly likely we shall return to this property for another holiday in the not too distant future.

Peaceful relaxing surroundings.. Outstanding location .Access lane to property a little bumpy. A few what i would describe as 'Speed Bumps " So drive slowly on approach. Maybe marking with Yellow line paint may help. That was my only complaint.
Mrs Peerman

We very much enjoyed our stay.. The barn was lovely and both the humans and the dogs had a great break! Thank you very much!

It was a lovely, quiet location to holiday in.. the only issue was the intermittent wifi ...it might need to be upgraded as we had some access problems. Other than that it was fabulous.

We have been staying at various cottages in Devon and Cornwall for the past twenty years and this is by far the best.. The location is brilliant being only ten minutes away from the coast and fantastic beaches at Woolacombe and Saunton beach.The barn was spot on with all the amenities you need and the view from the large window was amazing.The hosts Sharon and Greg could not do enough for you so friendly and always there to help with any questions you needed answering.The farm was lovely and fun feeding the pigs and watching the deer at dusk on the hill.

Wow a fantastic barn conversion finished to an exceptional high standard.. The owners took time to have a chat about the local area and some things to do. The animals on site made it a nice place to stay especially sally the dog and the horses. I would highly recommend this property to families and couples looking for that quiet getaway .
Mr Moffatt
May 2017
This property, and it's extremely welcoming and friendly owners cannot be faulted.. It was probably the nicest, most private and secluded property we have ever stayed in - and we will definitely be back!
Ms Jones

Virvale Barn is a stunning holiday property.. It is very stylish and comfortable. The location is amazing being at the end of a private road and overlooking the edge of Exmoor. But Combe Martin is close by , Exmoor is on the doorstep and some of the main coastal North Devon resorts a short drive away. Sharon and Greg are friendly and welcoming. One of the best holiday homes I have ever stayed in.
Mrs Spratt

We had a very relaxing time at Virvale Barn and thoroughly enjoyed staying there, it is ideally situated for visiting various beaches and for countryside walks as well as Exmoor Zoological Park.. The owners made us feel very welcome and the views were stunning, will definitely return for another visit.

Virvale Barn is in a very tranquil position surrounded by working farms with no passing traffic. Very friendly owner who was not intrusive. The sitting area was at first floor area with good views. Generally a good retreat from the hurly burly but near to seaside and local attractions.
Mrs Sears

The barn is a lovely conversion, done to a high standard and is perfect for families and couples looking for a quiet romantic break. The owners are lovely and really helpful. The barn is close enough to the larger towns of Llfracombe etc. and there's plenty of things to do in the surrounding area. Overall, a great holiday and we're likely to come back next year.

A very quiet peaceful location with many good walks and helpful hosts. It was clean and comfortable and had a light and airy lounge with good views. Good TV and internet.
Mr Meredith

Virvale Barn was our ideal holiday home from the position and quality of the accommodation. In addition the warmth of the reception and care we received during our stay was exceptional. We shall have happy memories of our stay at Virvale Barn and hope to return again soon.

The Barn was very well maintained and very comfortable homely. The owners were very helpful and friendly. The Barn was in a secluded position which was ideal for a quiet, peaceful break.
Mr Watkins

It is rare that you obtain the combination of excellent accommodation and perfectly welcoming hosts. We cannot speak highly enough of the owners and their efforts in realising a lovely holiday for me and my family. The provision of lovely touches, a welcoming cake, dogs bowls and the freedom to roam across the grounds made the week for us. We shall certainly return.
Ms Huston
July 2014
The Barn was lovely and homely and had everything we could possibly want. The owners (and their pets !) were all very welcoming and friendly and the property was very conveniently situated to see all of Exmoor and the coast.
Mrs Pickett
July 2014
A great property, we were made to feel very welcome by the owners. Loved the access we were allowed to their farm fields.
Mr Bassett
May 2014
The idyllic country setting and the remote quiet setting of the Barn was exactly what we sought and we were not disappointed -it was just perfect. The Owners extended to us a warm welcome and after offering us their undivided services left us to settle in. The Barn, decorated to a pleasing country standard is very well equipped with all that was needed to offer to us the comfort we sought. The country setting, the quietness and even the sunny weather all contrived to make this a memorable week's holiday. We will certainly be checking the calendar closely for any availability when the time comes for a second holiday break. Days out to a variety of coastal locations and other sites added to our enjoyment of our week in Devon.
Mr Matthews

This holiday property is by far the best that my family and I have stayed in for many years. Being on a farm with plenty of land it was great for our young grandson and two dogs. Five days of bliss in the lovely surroundings in a most beautiful part of the Devonshire countryside. The owners who live close by are friendly, made us very welcome and were on hand for any help we required. Excellent.
