We stayed in cow barn in September 2024.
The barn was easy to find, great quiet location.
Clean, comfortable and with everything you need.
The outside space was perfect with a dining area, barbecue and hot tub.
The wider farm is open to guests there is a short walk down to the river with picnic benches and space for children to play..

What's not to like? The entertainment of the 'mole patrol' and the 'chicken dinners' (who were always on the look out for a little something to tide them over between meals), the peace and quiet of the beautiful Devon countryside, the comfort, the endless supply of eggs, the very drinkable white wine, the lovely flowers or the very warm welcome. They all contributed in their own way to a very relaxing and enjoyable stay and we hope to be back.

Honestly, the most beautiful place! We’ve been coming here yearly for the last 5 years, in memory of my mother. Sylvia, is lovely, so friendly and chatty, she remembers the little things. A home away from home. Just perfect!



As always another wonderful stay!!

This time we only stayed for 4 nights but it was still as lovely and did feel like a week!
We were blessed with great weather but even if it had rained every day we would still have had an amazing time.
Sylvia goes out of her way to make your stay feel so perfect and nothing is too much trouble - thats why we always come back and would never go anywhere else!
Thank you xxx

Despite the weather we had a wonderful week in Cow Barn. It has everything you need for a comfy stay with your dogs.
Millie and Betsy loved the exercise field and especially enjoyed the river at the back of the cottages.
Thank you Sylvia for the delicious cake and other yummy trespassers s you left us.

A hidden treasure in a beautiful setting. The welcome we had from Sylvia & Kristian was superb. The Cow Barn was well equipped and very relaxing everything you would need.
We spent the holiday with some of our family who were in Apple next door, there was a gate between the two at the back which made it extra special, so we could share the holiday together more.
Our dogs were very happy and loved the fields and space, a walk down to the river and of course they played in the river just loving every moment.
Would we go again? We sure would! Graham

This is our 3rd visit to these cottages and our stay was excellent yet again. Beautiful cottage, gorgeous quiet picturesque location and a superb host. A lovely welcome on arrival was a cake, wine, doggy treats, homemade apple juice and eggs! Such a great touch. The hot tub was idyllic and the kids loved the free ranging chickens and friendly cats. Just perfect. Can not wait to return next year. Thank you so much

Been here numerous times and it’s always a pleasure, this time we escaped the madness of Glastonbury Festival at home and it was the perfect place to relax and refresh and watch it from the comfort of the sofa, the weather was beautiful, our spaniels made great use of the river to cool down and we found a gem of a forest called Bellever forest about a hour away. We will definitely be back again.

A lovely charming cottage in the peaceful and beautiful Devon. On arrival received fresh eggs, cake and lovely bunch of Tulips not to mention toys and treats for the dogs that went down really well.
The cottage is very comfortable, underfloor heating so that you do not go cold, and every comfort that you could wish for, The hot tub was brand new and a delight to get into after a day of exploring.
Sylvia is a wonderful host and the whole complex is clean and quiet and we had a wonderful time. Would definitely recommend.

This was our 7th holiday and this time we stayed in cow barn which was beautiful and perfect for us and our dog!
The hot tub was new and is the best we have ever used and Sylvia cleans the tubs every day and this is something we have never experienced at previous holiday places!
The bed was so comfortable and the bed linen was amazing!
We cannot fault Devon Country Barns and we have now booked another two holidays there!
The location is perfect for exploring Devon and Cornwall and there is so much to do and see but we always run out of time!!
The owners Kristian and Sylvia and their 3 gorgeous children make the holiday so special nothing is ever too much trouble so thank you very much to all of you for making DCB so special xxx

This was our second visit to Cow Barn as we enjoyed it so much earlier this year. Had another lovely short break. Great location for visiting the coast and Dartmoor. Lovely setting and everything you need for an enjoyable holiday. Our dogs were pleased to be back for their morning swim in the river! Thank you Sylvia for your warm welcome. Hope to be back again.

From the moment we arrived at Cow barn, we felt totally relaxed! Sylvia the owner, was super welcoming and the barn was spotless and equipped with all that we needed and more……flowers, wine and a delicious cake to name a few.
The setting of the barn and the large garden with hot tub was an added bonus for us with two energetic dogs and it was lovely to chill in such beautiful surroundings with our family.
We will definitely be returning……a very special place! Thank you

We booked cow barn for a 30th birthday long weekend getaway and my friends and I were blown away by how gorgeous it was. The interior and the garden with countryside views was a perfect little spot for us to relax in, upon arrival we were met with a yummy lemon drizzle cake and some beautiful yellow roses. The host was most welcoming and informative. The location is lovely if you’re looking to explore the surrounding area of devon with one of the best farms shops we’ve seen a few minutes drive away and the local town centre not far. We spent each night star gazing in the hot tub which is a perfect addition. Our only regret is that we didn’t stay for our last night purely as we had an event to go to in Newquay and made the decision to stay down there on our last evening. We all agreed we’d love to return.

What a beautiful & peaceful place to stay, the Barn was everything & more that we had hoped it would be! Spotlessly clean & very homely, a lovely touch to arrive to fresh eggs & a very tasty homemade cake.
Our Hosts Sylvia & Kristian were so helpful with nothing being too much trouble. All in all a great weekend enjoyed by all three of us!
Thoroughly recommend & we will be back!!!

Another stay at DCB, another lovely barn. Opted for Cow Barn this time for the extra garden space for the dog and she loved it, could maybe do with a little chicken wire on the bottom of the fence as we have a small dog who loves to take herself off for adventures, but there is a small gate that separates the grassed area if you are trying to relax in the hot tub!
The barns have everything you could possibly need and in the tranquil setting the only things you hear are the birds, we really look forward to our trips here, where we can just switch off.

Just returned from a fabulous stay of 3 nights in Cow Barn with our dogs. On arrival we received a lovely welcome from Sylvia and found the Barn to be lovely and clean and a real home from home. It had absolutely everything you could need including the most comfy bed and bedding! Lots of extras too from towels and toiletries to home made cake, eggs and flowers. The setting is beautiful, peaceful and quiet with lots of space to walk the dogs who also loved swimming in the river at the bottom of the field. It is an ideal location for Dartmoor and about a half hour drive to the coast. This was our first trip away in over 2 years and we wished it had been longer! We really hope to visit again soon.

We decided to stray from our usual barn and have a stay in Cow Barn this time. Did not disappoint in anyway what so ever. So much so that we have decided this is our spring / summer barn and Apple House is our winter venue!
Warm welcome as always from Sylvia and Christian. Nothing is ever too much trouble and Edna, our black lab is always made to feel the special guest! The cake on arrival is always a welcome addition
You leave (always reluctantly) having had the most relaxing time and ready to tackle the world again.
I cannot recommend a stay at Devon Country Barns enough.

From the moment we arrived we felt relaxed, key was in the door ready for our arrival. We started to unpack the car and Sylvia came down to say hi and made us feel very welcome. The cottage had treats awaiting us, which was lovely after a long drive. Our Cockerpoo Molly was enjoying all the new smells and when we took her to investigate across the fields she was in heaven. Molly would every day run through the fields and have a paddle in the river at the bottom of the field. The barns are central to get to either Devon or Cornwall and we had lots of fun days out. There is a good farm shop near by, and we sampled many of the pubs that Sylvia and her husband recommended on their website. We found their website really useful throughout our stay. We used to look forward to coming back to the barn after our walks and visits to local attractions. The hot tub was a real treat and we regularly relaxed and enjoyed the views over the fields. Thank you for making our stay so special and allowing us to relax in beautiful surroundings.

We have been visiting The Cow Barn since 2018 every year. In memory of my Mum who passed away 2018 and absolutely loved cows. Myself and my two aunties take the weekend away here to reflect and spend time together and it’s something we will continue to do for as long as we can. Sylvia is so welcoming! Highly recommend staying here, we will be staying an extra night from next year because we just love it so much. Beautiful place to be

What a wonderful quaint barn, set in a beautiful location. We were looking for a relaxing calm weekend away from the normal day to day life. We barely left our barn, it was just perfect!
2nd time I’ve been personally and it won’t be the last. If you have not been, you need to.
Sylvia is so accommodating and her lemon drizzle, just wow

My friends and I went to Cow Barn for my birthday and it was honestly the best place for a great girlie getaway!!
Our host, Sylvia was absolutely amazing, so friendly, welcoming and really approachable!
From all my pre booking questions to making our stay as comfortable as possible, up until we left, we had no complaints at all!!
The cottage was so immaculately clean, well organised has been kept in good order.
Our only complaint was, we didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to go back again!!

We had such a lovely time in May we decided to return. Managed to get the same barn - it’s lovely and has such a big garden which is handy for our 16 month old pup! This time we brought my parents and they loved it just as much !
We were so lucky with the weather this time meaning that Bonnie ( the pup) was able to paddle in the river at the bottom of the orchard - she had such a wonderful time splashing around.
The barn is great for visiting other areas … Bude being approx 40 mins away - we were able to take said pup onto the beach and down to the sea where she jumped waves to her hearts content. . We met up with other family members as they were also staying close by. Weather was superb! We also managed to visit Fowey, cross over on the ferry to drive round to Looe for another day out.
There is everything you need at the barn and it’s so peaceful you can sit around in the hot tub or on the patio reading a book - especially when the weather is so good.
Sylvia makes you feel so welcome and we had another lovely home made cake waiting for us. What more could you ask for… if you haven’t been then do try to get a booking ! We will certainly be going back at some time in the future

Devon Country Barns are set in the beautiful Thrushel Valley and provide the ideal base to explore the South West. Sylvia was the perfect host and the barn was comfortable and adequate for our needs.

A few issues on arrival which were swiftly resolved and the rest of the holiday was a joy. Plenty of fields and rivers to tire the dog, chickens and geese to entertain our daughter and local eateries for us to indulge.

Shame the rest of the UK was packed into the South West this year, but don't let this put you off from staying here as once you arrive, the pace of life can be as fast or slow as you like it.

The only thing missing was the sunshine, i'm sure the barns would have been even better had the weather been kinder!

Please don't book as we'd like to go back soon!

We have just returned from a much needed holiday at Cow Barn. Cow Barn is ideal for a relaxing holiday in stunning countryside on the Devon /Cornwall border, but close to all tourist attractions, restaurants etc, which was perfect for us. The accommodation is 5 star, with quality furnishings, a real home away from home, very well equipped, extremely dog friendly, hot tub was wonderful. The owners are very friendly and made us feel very welcome; nothing was a trouble for them. Sylvia, the owner, is always on hand to make your stay perfect. My only negative was, we didn't want to leave!!! I would 100% recommend Devon Country Barns and we can't wait to return in the future. Thank you DCB for a wonderful holiday.

Claire and Tom xx

A warm welcome from Sylvia & Kristian and as usual all was well. The living space is well appointed and clean, it contains all the mod cons. The barn itself sits on a generous plot with magnificent views over the adjacent countryside. The hot tub was well used and appreciated by our younger contingent. The barn is well placed for the A30 meaning Devon/Cornwall coastal resorts are easily accessible. If you want a relaxing bolt-hole this is the place for you, We took two exuberant Flat Coated Retrievers and the dogs were well catered for in a large garden and fields that led down to shallow river. All in all good time had by all and we shall certainly be back.

We booked this at Easter as we needed a change of scenery. Easy to book & Sylvia was friendly from the start. We arrived in torrential rain ( we sat in the car for 5 mins before venturing to the front door!)... once inside the barn it was lovely & homely. All you could wish for in a holiday place. Sylvia came across & told us all the do’s , don’ts & how to work stuff ..once the rain eased slightly!! The lounge / kitchen/ dining area was well furnished - nice leather sofa & comfy winged chair. On the dining table was a homemade cake, eggs and some doggie treats! Really thoughtful welcome. If it had been colder we would have used the log burner but the underfloor heating was sufficient for our stay. Upstairs the 2 bedrooms & bathroom were suitably decorated for a converted barn. The view from the bedroom windows was an added bonus.
Once we’d unpacked, the rain had thankfully stopped , so we were able to use the hot tub... we were on holiday after all!! The same stunning views from here too!
Out of the barn & over the courtyard was a big orchard where you could take your dog(s) for a run around - this lead down to a stream with a seating area ... if it hadn’t been raining so much then it would have been a good place for a splash around. Unfortunately it was moving a bit fast for our pup so she didn’t get to try it out... but she loved the sheep which were in the field next to the cottage & had so much fun watching them .
The location is great and we managed to visit Looe & Bude within an hour, on different days. Bude beach was great for our pup & she managed to have her swim after all!
We thoroughly enjoyed our break at the barn & would happily return . It has everything you need for a restful holiday.



Can't wait to return!

We had such a wonderful time we were looking for dates to return before we had left! The property is so private and peaceful it was the perfect place to have our mini moon! Sylvia was incredibly helpful and so kind, our only complaint was that we didn't book long enough! Can't wait to come back! Thanks so much again, Jodie & Mikey

Booked for our 10 year anniversary in November but had to cancel due to COVID lockdown, they were really accommodating in moving our booking to another date so we chose December. Cottage is lovely and cosy and a good location for places in Devon and Cornwall, hot tub was lovely apart from lights didn’t work so was quite dark in the evenings think an outside light would be handy by the hot tub. The whole cottage was very clean and tidy and bed was comfy! Also we have never used a wood burning stove before and couldn’t get it to stay lit so would suggest some fire starter logs to be available for novices like us! As the location is in the middle of the countryside you don’t have much signal and WiFi connection couldn’t get working which is perfect if you need to escape. Would recommend to family’s and couples looking for an escape from reality! Would love to come back again at some point with friends in the future.



A wonderful relaxing short break.

We had a wonderful short break at Devon country barns, Sylvia is absolutely lovely. The place has everything you need and some. With the fabulous hot tub it didn’t matter that it was wet and cold outside. Our kids loved it too. Can’t wait to go back again. Peaceful beautiful scenery, very quite, and very comfortable and cosy in the barn. We highly recommend to everyone.

We have just returned home from a perfect stay at Devon Country Barns. We booked this as an alternative to Cyprus due to Covid, and were not disappointed.

As soon as you arrive, the setting of the barns makes you feel like you have picked the right place for your stay. Sylvia was were there to welcome us and make us feel at ease, introducing the barn and telling us all we needed to know. We stepped into the barn and immediately it felt like home.

The decor was perfect, complete farmhouse style with modern kitchen appliances and everything you could need provided for you. A lovely welcome pack, inc sanitiser, masks, dog treats and a ball, (not to mention the homemade cake!) was the perfect start.

The bedrooms were spacious, well decorated and comfortable. We slept so well in the luxurious beds and all bedding had a hotel quality feel to them.

The bathroom was beautiful and clean. Always hot water available, and big white fluffy towels provided. As well as The White Company miniatures.

The hot tub and garden were immaculate and a very welcome addition. Sitting in the hot tub, watching the sunset with the rolling fields in front of us, became an easy daily occurrence. Completely dog friendly garden to let our little one roam, as well as our 3 year old too.

Six friendly chicken would appear at your door for a treat or two, which was very much our sons entertainment throughout the stay, and Sylvia also kindly invited us to feed the other geese and birds with her on a daily basis.

A real home from home and we can’t wait to come back!

Just returned from our first visit to devon country barns, we stayed in the cow barn, can safely say this won't be our last visit. What a beautiful place, everything you need to relax and unwind. Far enough away from the rest of the world that you feel totally alone but close enough that you can pop out to shops etc if you wish (15min drive to closest town. Sylvia and family are amazing host's and we couldn't of asked for anything more. Thankyou for an amazing few days.

We had a lovely stay in Cow Barn. It was well equipped, laid out and comfortable. The garden and views were stunning, and our young dog loved the lawn to run around on! Sylvia and family were very welcoming and helpful. The fields and access to the river were wonderful, as was the area generally.

A lovely dog-friendly barn conversion. The enclosed garden, two fields directly behind the barn and the shallow river nearby were super. We visited many places on the N.Cornwall coast but also enjoyed just having a day ‘at home’ making use of hot tub, patio chairs and barbecue. A very comfortable, well equipped house with a homely feel. Suited our party of three really well.
Host Sylvia was very welcoming. Highly recommended, we had a fabulous week.

We stayed in Cow Barn for a week on the 18th July. The property was very inviting. We had unexpected but very welcome goodies on arrival....Freshly baked cake for the children, treats for the dog and wine for the adults! We also had freshly laid chicken and duck eggs ! The accommodation was very well equipped even though we didn't do an awful lot of cooking - but there if you needed it. There was an amazing area by the river for our dog - we often took him first thing in the morning and took our coffee down too, sitting on the benches provided - while he jumped in and out of the river! The hot tub was a delightful addition, our girls loved it! The owners were very welcoming and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would most certainly recommend and go back.

We couldn't have asked for a better stay! The Cow Barn was extremely clean and comfortable, its set within a gorgeous valley with no other houses in sight, and a perfect location for exploring both Devon and North Cornwall. Sylvia and Kristian were so accommodating and friendly, and went the extra mile - from sorting a travel cot and high chair for my nephew (5 months old) to the the homemade cake and PPE bag with face masks, hand sanitiser and gloves on arrival. Thanks for a wonderful stay and we very much hope to return!

Thank you very much to Sylvia for her wonderful hospitality and very friendly welcome to Cow Barn by providing us with lovely freshly laid chicken and duck eggs which were a delicious addition to our cooked breakfast in the mornings, along with the home made iced cake on our arrival. The barn was tastefully decorated and had a very homely feeling and had everything that you needed when self catering. My partner and I were very much in need of a relaxing break and this is exactly what we had for the 3 nights that we spent in our lovely cozy barn particularly with the log fire burning in the evenings. The views of the beautiful countryside were spectacular whilst sitting in our jacuzzi in the early evening with a glass of wine. The peace and tranquillity of the setting was wonderful and we felt totally chilled in our surroundings. Loved it so much that I have already booked to go back in September this year. I definitely recommend a visit to the local farm shop which is only a short drive away if you want to buy some extra special local produce to eat back at the barn. See you again in September.

Cow barn is a beautiful cosy retreat for a wknd away. Sylvia was a fantastic host, so friendly and helpful, greeted on arrival with flowers, a home made cake fresh eggs and apple juice, the barn was spotless and the beds so comfy. We took our dog who was in heaven so much space to run around even he had a special welcome treat ! The hot tub was amazing too we will definitely be back. Would highly recommend.

We had a good few days here although the weather was poor. The good thing is that there are two large fields to walk in just a few yards from the cottage. The cottage is very well appointed with everything you need. We need to do some more research to find walks that are not a long distance away.

A short weekend visit only for a party at Lewtrenchard Manor. Barn is beautifully appointed and comfortable beds. Very quiet and sitting in the hot tub at sunset was most enjoyable!
I am now looking at investing in underfloor heating....fabulous!
Would love to return to the area for a longer stay as there is so much to do. A great escape from the usual routines of suburbia.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cow Barn. The cottage is very cosy and comfortable, well equipped with everything you could possibly need and more. Lovely welcome packages for both us humans and our dog. We all appreciated the fabulous outdoor space, all enclosed and very dog friendly. Like a home from home - only more luxurious, making our holiday all the more special and very relaxing. We were sad to leave. Big thank you to Sylvia who was so friendly and welcoming. We highly recommend and would love to return.

Well what can say a fantastic place to stay the perfect owners. It felt like living in a hamlet the other guests were friendly and polite.
Lovely field for the dogs to enjoy themselves, grass kept very tidy.
The local farm shop is selling great food, drinks and also has very good restaurant and bar.
Hopefully will be back in 2020.

Lovely place to stay and very dog friendly. Cottage was comfortable and very well equipped. Owners were friendly and helpful, providing ideas for walks and things to do in the area. Lovely views across the valley and the outside area was probably the best we have seen from a holiday cottage, with the private hot tub providing much needed relaxation after a long walk across Dartmoor! We hope to return!

It was home from home for us, just because we have a dog we still want a lovely place to stay in. It was perfect for us in every way. It was spotlessly clean, beautiful white bedding and towels. It was the first time I have slep the first night ever anywhere I have stayed. We couldn’t fault it and will definitely go back to stay again. Richard and Ute were so friendly, they even left dog treats on the door for Molly. Flowers, milk, eggs, a bottle of wine and a delicious cake were left for us on our arrival, how kind and thoughtful. We enjoyed the hot tub and the sunsets from out Patio.
It was a fabulous 5 days !!!

My family and I (wife, two teenage children and a dog) stayed at the Cow Barn for just under a week. The Barn was beautifully set up, we really appreciated all the mod cons and little touches which made us feel pampered. The hosts had thought of everything to make the stay easy and comfortable. The hot tube was a big hit at the end of the day after a long walk, or visit to the beach. Whilst the weather was drizzly there was still plenty to do within 30 min of the Barn. For example, we went horse riding, walking up some stunning locations (Yes Tor), a beach (Constantine) and we visited Lydford Gorge which had a waterfall. Our dog was able to join us for all events and seemed to enjoy it all.

The Cow Barn has a view of rolling hills, it is peaceful and feels private. The owners (Richard and Ute) are welcoming and knowledgeable. Their welcome pack was a welcome treat after the drive down. We will definitely visit again and would recommend this highly.

Fab people, Ute and Richard are wonderful, welcoming hosts. Fab accommodation, everything is quality and everything you need is there. Fab location, with a multitude of shades of green surrounding you from all the fields and trees it is a very relaxing setting. We took our 2 Parson Russel Terriers with us and they absolutely loved the instant freedom they felt from having pastures and the river at their immediate disposal (they came home and rested well for a few days!). Richard very kindly took some great photos of the dogs enjoying themselves which we will cherish. Will definitely be back again. Thanks :o)
