“Thank you for the wonderful time at Stone Barn. We thoroughly enjoyed our honeymoon with our daughter and two dogs.”

“Thank you for the amazing stay at Stone Barn. It exceeded our expectations, loved the hot tub and fresh hot cross buns! Highly recommend all the walks in the Little Book of Walks and a day at Lynmouth is definitely suggested by us. The barn was beautiful and immaculate. Thank you for making our stay so comfortable and homely.”

“The Stone Barn was perfect. Everything needed to have an enjoyable stay. You’d thought of everything. Garden was perfect for our little Haggis, not too big, not too small. The location was very good too (apart from the way back up from town!!). All in all a great week.”

“A lovely long weekend spent here. A fab house, very clean and everything we needed. The weather was kind, so we had some lovely walks. Thank you to the team.”

“This is our fourth stay at Lucy’s cottages, and we have now sampled all of them! Stone Barn was excellent and just what we needed to escape a bleak January. The hot tub got a lot of use following challenging walks on Exmoor and the surrounding countryside. We are very pleased to have discovered Exmoor Character Cottages!”

“Thank you to the team for another fantastic stay at Stone Barn. Just what we needed – a nice relaxing stay with everything right here to celebrate the New Year. This is our second stay at Stone Barn, and it is just as amazing as I remember, so thank you so much!”

“We couldn’t believe that this house was still available for a Christmas week last minute booking instead of our planned holiday to Dubai. Walking into the kitchen I was taken back a bit as the Barn has the same kitchen as we do, so it really was a home-from-home! The Christmas tree is the perfect touch for the kids, and the little extras on arrival just top it all off. I forgot to buy Christmas crackers and it was like you had read my mind, what was waiting on the table…Christmas crackers! Not many holiday houses cater well for dogs, but you have certainly made ours feel at home with a biscuit and bowls and a safe garden to explore. We visited Minehead, Dunster, Taunton, Lynton, Blue Anchor, and the Valley of Rocks, which was a family favourite with stunning views and peaceful walks. The hot tub was an added bonus and was used every day. We would stay again, we had a very relaxing Christmas break.”

“Thank you to Lucy and her team for a wonderful pre-Christmas getaway. Stone Barn is a beautifully restored cottage and the finishing touches made it extra-special, the lovely Christmas tree and the mince pies were good! We all had a great time at the arcades and a lovely walk around Dunster. The kids love the barn so much they would live here. Thanks again and I’m sure we will be back!”

“Our expectations were completely exceeded – the accommodation is incredible and the area is beautiful. We didn’t need or want to venture far because we enjoyed staying the beautiful Barn so much. Superb from start to finish. The Elf Experience was fab too!”

“We have had a lovely relaxing week in Stone Barn. Well-equipped, great décor and very clean. A real home-from-home. A great secure outside space for the dog and the hot tub was just what we needed! Great location, very quiet and the views are amazing. Walking distance to town and the beach, and you get used to the hill back! Thanks to the team. Fantastic.”

“What a fabulous find! Excellent facilities. Lucy made sure we had everything we needed. Really enjoyed exploring the area, so beautiful. We would highly recommend the cottage.”

“We have had a lovely holiday here at Stone Barn. Even the weather has been kind to us! The cottage is very comfortable and has everything we needed. This is our return visit to Exmoor after nearly 10 years and we are happy to see that there has not been too many changes to this wonderful area. Thank you.”

“We are back! Another lovely week in Stone Barn and delighted to finally get to our postponed holiday. As always, so well-equipped and we enjoyed the addition of the Nespresso coffee machine 😊. The hot tub was put to good use and the dogs loved the garden (especially stealing the fallen apples and figs). We enjoyed a lovely afternoon in Dunster village, and a quick visit to the beach there too, would definitely spend more time there next time. Romino’s pizza delivery was brilliant and had a brilliant evening at the Alcombe Tandoori. We will be back again, hopefully with all of the kids next time.”

“Had a lovely week at Stone Barn. The accommodation is excellent, well-equipped to make it feel like home. The attention to detail is second to none. Our dog Lola also loved it, with the safe and secure garden for her to explore. We did a few of Lucy’s Walks, Dunster was our favourite. Also Countisbury where we ate at The Blue Ball Inn, food and service excellent. Had a takeaway pizza from ‘Romino’s’ in Alcombe, which was delicious and speedy delivery. Also had fish and chips from Seafare in Alcombe, the best ever! Thank you Lucy and team for our lovely break.”

“We have had a wonderful week at Stone Barn. The accommodation is just lovely, and we love the attention to detail in all parts of the Barn. It has the best equipped kitchen of any we’ve stayed in. Great décor and very clean. This was a much-needed relaxing break and the hot tub was an added bonus – as was the weather for the time of year. It was super for our dog Jake, very secure and with plenty of room for him. The milk, chilled water and cake was as nice touch too. We enjoyed the views, the beaches and the great food at The Old Ship Aground and the Wheelhouse restaurants in Minehead. Thank you, Lucy and team!”

“We have all had a great week at Stone Barn. A fine mix of sunshine and showers! The accommodation was spotless on arrival and is fully equipped with everything we needed. The power cut was an unexpected adventure and many thanks to the whole team for checking in with us and assisting us with extra touches. Looking forward to revisiting in the not-too-distant future.”

“Wow! What a wonderful holiday and stay at Stone Barn. So peaceful, comfortable, and quiet, everything we needed was here. The hot tub was a bonus and a real treat! As a dog owner the property was brilliant, as well as safe for furry friends! A beautiful standard of property in a great location, we will be back! Thank you”

“Thank you, Lucy, Steve and your team for all your help and effort to ensure we were able to have a wonderful break in your lovely cottage. We arrived a little late due to my injury and you were so kind and accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble! The boys loved relaxing in the hot tub and Arwen and I enjoyed the lovely views. We will be back, hopefully when I can walk around a bit more and we can climb the hills!”
Catherine, Richard, Aidan, Nathan and Arwen, August 2021

“Many thanks to Lucy, Steve and the team for a lovely, relaxing and stunning place to stay. Thank you for the cake and milk – a great start to our holiday! The barn is superb, with clean, comfy beds, a well-maintained garden and the hot tub was very clean! Lucy’s pre-arrival briefing call was very useful before our holiday and it was so nice to meet Steve. We enjoyed our stay very much and we hope to return in the future. A great holiday – thank you. Everything was so clean – spotless!”
Andy, Elaine and Jasmine, July 2021

“Many thanks for a lovely stay. Beautifully decorated and equipped and spotless. Weather was glorious and the views over the rooftop were a treat! We enjoyed our stay very much.”
The Chapmans, July 2021

“Thank you, Lucy and team! What a lovely place to have a holiday. The Barn was superb, we all enjoyed it immensely. Molly says thank you for her biscuit! The boys had a lovely time in the hot tub – just what they needed. Would love to come again when we can. And thank you for the welcome cake which went down very well.”
The Payne family, July 2021

“What a fabulous place to stay! The bedrooms were very sumptuous – they even impressed two 16-year-old boys and they spent a lot of time in bed! The hot tub is immaculate and very well-kept by Steve who gave us some tips for the hot tub we have just bought at home. It was a delight to talk to Lucy before our stay. Her recommendations were spot on. We had an awesome time paddle boarding on the river, and clay shooting was the best. Parker our dog loved the walks and the garden, which was perfect for my morning yoga – especially with the sunshine. The cake you left for us was so delicious. We have had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend Stone Barn. It is so well-equipped, and the furnishing are top notch. Definitely a place we’d like to visit again.”
Julie, Josh, Toby, Max and Parker the dog, July 2021

“Wow! Thank you for a lovely relaxing and stunning place to stay. We had so much fun exploring just within a 20-mile area, and it was great to be so central to everything. Comfy beds, sparkling bathrooms, modern kitchen and a quiet restful garden, not to mention such a luxurious hot tub!! We hope to return in the future. Keep up the great work!”

“Wonderful cottage and beautiful gardens. Spotlessly clean, very comfortable and thank you for the lovely welcome. Great view from the living room. We’ve had a very fun week and I’m sure we’ll be back!”
Chloe, Julian, Oscar and Darcy, June 2021

“Thank you, Lucy and your amazing team, for our much-deserved break after a few horrible weeks. The Barn and gardens are immaculate, and the photos really don’t do it justice. We had everything we needed and more…The garden was perfect for the pooches. Thank you again, we will definitely recommend you.”
