Absolutely lovely location so central to coast as well as Barnstable and Tarr steps, which was a must see if you have dogs or children. The accommodation was lovely with stunning huge windows .We were also luckily enough to have had a band practicing one evening, luckily they were very good. The owners are very nice and we’re on hand if we needed anything. All in all we had a great time and have passed on their details to friends and family.

We had a good time at the Barn Cottage. Margaret and Chris gave us a warm welcome. The first few days it was a bit rainy, but reading a good book near the big windows or a cardgame is a fine way to spend those days. Outside there’s a beautiful big garden to roam around in. Also rolling hills in the background.

About the host

Hosted by Chris

Host profile image
The parish of Brayford is situated on the south-western boundary of Exmoor and includes a part of the National Park. Brayford is in a highly picturesque location, bounded by green fields and woodlands, and situated in a steep sided valley, with the River Bray running through the middle of the village and acting as a focal point. The River Bray rises on Exmoor, near Challacombe, and tumbles down to 470 feet above sea level where it flows through the village, then joins the River Mole south-west of South Molton, and finally the River Taw which eventually sweeps through Barnstaple to the sea.

The hills are populated with livestock as this is well known sheep and cattle country, and the famous red deer of Exmoor are commonly seen too.

The nearest pub is the Poltimore Arms, a short drive east from the village. This is the "local" pub and sometimes provides food. The Station Inn at Blackmoor Gate and The Black Venus at Challacombe are well respected and reliable restaurants/pubs.
