We have just come back from a week staying at blue bell barn to celebrate my birthday. The barn is to a very high standard, well equipped and all the little extra added touches do not go amiss and we even had milk in the fridge and homemade flapjacks when we arrived. It has a lovely hot tub in a secluded garden but unfortunately the weather was not kind to us so could not make the most of this but when we could it was so relaxing . It is quite a central location for some lovely walks and days out in Devon or Cornwall. I think it says it all as we have already rebooked for next year .
