Priestacott Tithe Barn Reviews

Samira Collins
We had such a lovely stay! The house really exceeded our expectations-huge living spaces and comfy bedrooms made it feel like a home away from home. Everything was spotless and well thought out, which we really appreciated. The peaceful location was perfect for relaxingand the hot tub was definitely a highlight. The only thing to keep in mind is that the barn can be a bit noisy, so if you're bringing little ones who need quiet sleep, it might be a bit tricky. Still, we had a great time overall!
James
Beautiful spot, quite a trek up the lane, but thankfully no one else around, which was great.
Sam
We had a fantastic stay at this lovely spot. The place was way bigger than we expected and super well equipped for a big group. Ruth and Nick made us feel really welcome and were lovely to chat with. The location's perfect - close to Rosemoor RHS gardens, Dartington Glassand the coast. We especially loved watching the sheep, lambsand those free-roaming guinea fowls. It was such a relaxing break, really enjoyed it. Definitely recommend!
Lucy
We stayed at this stunning barn with our big family, ranging from little kids to elderly relativesand it was perfect. The place is really top-notch, super spaciousand thoughtfully equipped-those huge towels were such a nice touch! The hot tub and pool table kept everyone entertained, even in the rain. We managed a BBQ too, which was great. There's loads to explore nearbyand Ruth was lovely, always ready to help and keep the hot tub logs topped up. Definitely recommend!
Emma Carter
We had a fantastic family trip with 11 of us staying here. The place is huge and super clean, with everything you could need. The owners really went above and beyond, making us feel so welcome. Honestly, it's a top-notch spot. Would definitely recommend it for a relaxing getaway. Lovely experience all round!
Alex
This place is great for big family gatherings, offering lots of room to mingle and some quiet spots too. We really enjoyed it!
Emily
We had such a lovely stay! The space was perfect for our two families with five kidsand everything was really well thought out - the barn was spotless and finished to a high standard. The outdoor area is gorgeous, with stunning viewsand the kids loved the hot tub! The owners made us feel really welcome, which was lovely. There are plenty of nice beaches and places to explore nearby, like crabbing in Appledore and renting bikes from Bideford for the Tarka Trail. We'd definitely come back!
Alexandra
The barn was stunning, super cosy and had everything we needed. The rooms were massive, especially the bedrooms. We loved the space and comfort!
