Guests that stayed at this property said

Guests consistently note the property's cleanliness, mentioning it was warm and clean upon arrival. The hot tub was also cleaned during their stay, indicating high standards of hygiene.

The location is described as amazing, with beautiful rural scenery, secure views for children, and proximity to local amenities in South Molton. It serves as a great base to explore North Devon.

Numerous reviews highlight the comfort of Apple Barn, with comfortable beds and sofas, and a warm, homely feel. The property is spacious enough to accommodate large groups without feeling crowded.

Facilities are generally praised, especially the well-equipped kitchen and games room. However, some guests mention minor issues with heating, hot tub chlorine levels, and Wi-Fi coverage, which slightly lowers the score.

The hosts' thoughtfulness is frequently mentioned, with welcome packs including cake and eggs. While these gifts are greatly appreciated, it should be noted that such extras, while common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

About this property

The lawns at the front of the cottage overlook the sweeping river valley, and provide a glorious, sunny spot to prepare holiday plans together on summer afternoons. There is also the welcome addition of a 6-seater hot tub, perfect for an evening soak under the stars. A wonderful, spacious property for a holiday to remember.

North Molton, an ancient community, is a great place to start exploring Exmoor and North Devon's spectacular shoreline. The village has a welcoming pub, Post Office, and a village shop selling home-grown fruit from nearby farms and exquisite home-baked items, while South Molton, a few miles away, has a variety of shops and a twice-weekly market. This charming community, which is conveniently located near both coastal and inland beauty sites, is guaranteed to appeal to guests of all tastes. Forests, moors, rivers, and beaches are all nearby, as are churches and other historical structures, and the Exmoor National Park's border is only a mile or two away. The South West Coast Path provides excellent walking opportunities, and the North Devon shoreline is varied and interesting. Watersmeet Gorge, Valley of the Rocks, and the funicular cliff train are all National Trust properties. Exmoor has a variety of treks for all levels, as well as beautiful locations to explore such as Tarr Steps, Landacre Bridge, and the delightful tiny settlement of Withypool. Further afield, the towns of Ilfracombe and Combe Martin are well worth a visit, and a day trip to Woolacombe and Saunton is not to be missed for some of the best beaches in the country.

    The property is well equipped it has everything you need, great kitchen, we had 4 adults and two children under 5, with the owners supplying two stair gates, bed guard, travel cot and highchair, very accommodating, ample space. The are 5 bedrooms, 3 of which have there own bathroom and showers and also a bathroom with bath. The hot tub is lovely too. The owners were on hand for any help too and very friendly, would definitely come back in the future thanks we had a really lovely time over New Year.

  • Claire

    Stunning views & beautiful accommodation. We had 9 ladies stay & had plenty of space. You just have to be careful all showering as we ran out of hot water on our first morning but no trouble the next day (there was more hot water later that day). The fresh eggs left for us were amazing along with the cake. We would definitely return!
