The barn set in a perfect location away from traffic noise with beautiful views from the lounge.The kitchen was spacious with complimentary tea/coffee/sugar/milk and biscuits for us when we arrived. There is plenty of crockery and utensils and you will find everything you need. The lounge has a vast variety of dvd's toys games and books and a lovely wood burner which we made good use of, with plenty of room for us 6 adults and our 20 month old granddaughter All the bedrooms had plenty of storage, the bedding and towels were immaculate and rooms were decorated lovely.The swimming pool are was kept clean as were the changing rooms and we made use of the playroom a couple of times too. We would not hesitate in returning to this lovely homely barn.

Stayed here with my husband, 21month old daughter and both sets of our parents and we were extremely satisfied with everything woodpecker barn had to offer. The kitchen is huge and the living room is cosy. The wood burner was great as it was quite cold. Facilities were outstanding and the added extras were much appreciated from kids toys, DVDs, games, travel cot, stair gates. Owners were very quick to respond and friendly. Would absolutely stay again!

We had a problem with our original booking for the barn which was sorted out by the owner Louise in exemplary fashion. The barn is tastefully finished and equipped to a very high standard and lacks for nothing. We bought toys and games with us but need not have bothered. I have no hesitation in recommending Woodpecker Barn as a perfect place to stay to enjoy the peace of the Devon countryside with facilities that also cater for the needs of energetic children. I must also add that as the site is small and secluded they can be left to explore in safety.
Thank you Louise for a wonderful holiday.

We live in a 15th century thatched cottage in Suffolk so when I say Woodpecker Barn is a really lovely home from home it has a lot to match up to - the location is stunning, the attention to detail is excellent and masses of space. With a swimming pool, BBQ and games room it would make a great family holiday location. We 5 adults are here to chill, go to a wedding and see some sights or I may just sit around and watch the House Martins and Swallows.
Great value to

We had a fantastic holiday at Woodpecker Barn in December 2014 our party consisted of four adults and three children 7, 5, and 7months, it was so comfortable and homely, the log burner was a great bonus for that time of year. The children made great use of the heated swimming pool and games room as did the adults, the outdoor area is well equipped but wasn't used ( it was very cold ) and the swimming pool was always a first choice anyway, everywhere is so safe for the children as all cars are left in the car park. The barn itself is very well equipped and spacious and extremely clean you certainly didn't feel on top of one another and the views were amazing. There's so much to do in the area we visited Torquay, Paignton, Dartmouth went on a Steam Train ( which the children loved ) as well as visiting the local villages. We will definitely return and thank you Louise for being so helpful when making our booking.
