The Barn is in a wonderful position with glorious views. Cutcombe is very central to all of Exmoor and despite the weather we got to explore lots of lovely places. We appreciated the underfloor heating which we shouldn't have needed in May !! Mary the owner is very helpful if advice is needed.

The location of Putham Barn is perfect for those who love peace and quiet whilst only being a short walk to the local pub which serves great food. (Take a torch if walking there in the dark) The barn itself is beautifully situated at the end of a lane with a small terrace at the back but plenty of space to sit outside the conservatory doors to catch the late afternoon sun and admire the view. Inside it is compact and very clean and well equipped. The bathroom has a great shower and is a good size. The living room is cosy with a day bed and chairs and a TV. The mezzanine bedroom is bright and airy with space and enough storage for clothes. Mary, the owner, is very friendly and helpful and goes above and beyond to help. Also she is very knowledgeable about places to walk and visit. I'm sure I will be returning as it was a very relaxing stay.

Fantastic location, went down the hill to Wheddon Cross and took a different direction every day. Each direction was a delight. Cleanliness of the barn wasn't great and we spent a while removing cobwebs full of flies and hoovering. I'd also recommend a blind for the bathroom as although the barn is certainly wonderfully remote, it isn't deserted and several dog walkers and the local farmer regularly walks past! Gifts of milk, eggs and marmalade were a nice touch. Sitting watching deer in the garden room was a wonderful end to each day. The Rest and Be Thankful pub at the bottom of the lane does great food.

Beautiful location in the hills. It was lovely to watch the changing weather. A herd of deer spent most of the day in a nearby field. Peaceful get away. The barn was cosy and well laid out. Lovely having the sun room to look out onto. Would definitely stay again

The cottage was the perfect location for us. It was quiet but close enough to access local amenities by car. We were able to drive to Devon and surrounding areas with ease. Mary, the owner was the perfect host and she answered questions we had as well as giving us her expertise of places to visit. Clean and cosy accommodation. Will stay again.
