Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

The best wedding venue in the UK!!!
Where do I begin? We had our wedding held here in June for the best weekend! The accommodations, woodland, marquee, barn, swimming pool and meadow make the most beautiful setting where ever you choose to reside. We will be forever grateful for all the staff at middle Coombe farm especially Clydie and Angela who go above and beyond to make your weekend as special as you have dreamt of! We will be talking about this for years and years and recommend to anyone who wants the full package with ease and a smile! There is not enough thankyou’s we would be able to give to compensate everything that was done for us.

A unique and magical holiday location
Finding a holiday let to suit 8 children of various ages and 7 adults - 3 generations of our family - is not the easiest thing, but we could hardly have designed somewhere better than Middle Coombe Farm if we'd tried. Everyone loved it. The location is beautiful and very secluded; there is so much on site for everyone to do and all well maintained and for our exclusive use: we hardly needed outings. Angela's care of this fascinating, listed site is really inspiring, and she made us all so welcome. Both buildings - the house and the barn - are very well equipped and comfortable; the whole site felt like home for a week and we just had an amazing time.

Perfect Country Getaway
Where to start? When 19 former school friends wanted to get together for the first time in a decade we looked for the ideal place to house all of us, without everyone having to bunk in the same room, and we found that there really aren't many places that have that kind of space. And I'm happy to report there is no compromise in the quality of the stay for how much space you get at Middle Coombe. Every couple had a double room to themselves, with only two singletons needing to share a room...but both with their own beds.
Middle Coombe is countryside living, and a great getaway from the work grind. Our group all went school together in the Westcountry, but now many of us live in London and cities, so it was a nostalgic return to the countryside with old friends. With ample space, there is plenty of room to store all the food (and drink) you need in the pantry and wine rack room, so you don't need to be driving into Tiverton every day for more. But, should you wish to, its only a 15 minute drive, and there's huge superstores to do a big shop for all your stays needs.
Angela was a brilliant host for us, showing our first arrivals around the property and how to work everything from the hot-tub to the fire-pits.
We couldn't believe how much space there was. With a group of almost 20 we wondered if we'd be able to have dinner together, relax in the living room together, and just generally 'hang-out', but this was never an issue.
The games-room barn is huge, with table-tennis and pool. The kitchen has a large, long table, enough to get a big group around. And the patio out the back of the house has another large table covered with a canopy, and by an outdoor fire and chimney.
The grounds are expansive and a (literal) breath of fresh air.
We're already looking at when we can book in our next group trip back to Middle Coombe. And this time, maybe in the Summer so we can use that huge pool!!

Fabulous Stay
Fabulous property and facilities! The whole family loved it, especially the pool, hot tub, games room and barbecue area. A genuinely warm and welcoming host who immediately made us feel at ease. We would honestly consider ourselves lucky to ever go back x

Gorgeously peaceful retreat!
Fabulous weekend spent at this beautiful barn. The hosts were so helpful and welcoming. The barn was warm and comfortable with everything you could need for a self catering holiday! It was spotlessly clean, and we were given use of the pool and hot tub as there were no other guests, which was a lovely surprise!
It’s a lovely, secluded, away from it all place to be!

Fantastic Holiday House
All three generations of our family and two dogs have just enjoyed an amazing week at Middle Coombe Farm. It was an ideal location in these fraught Covid19 times. Everything was organised by Angela and her team to have the house, and everything in it, spotlessly clean. The heated swimming pool and the hot tub were enjoyed by all. We seldom left the extensive property all week other than to buy food as there is so much to do.

Tranquil paradise
We had an excellent stay at Allenstown Barn deep in the beautiful Devon countryside. The setting was quiet but not too far to both north and south Devon coast. Accommodation was spot on and we were looked after well by Angela and the team. The grounds were fantastic even in the rain and the 200 acre wood on the Doorstep was a delight. Thanks Angela

We will be back
Booked Allensdown Barn - lovely cottage with door step access to ten's of acres of countryside which our dog absolutely loved. Convenient location and not too far from the motorway which was a plus.

Perfect wedding venue
The venue was perfect, beautiful views, with all facilities catered for, even a swimming pool & hot tub, both of which had plenty of use. Friendly, efficient staff who couldn't do enough for us. Dogs (and children) are welcome, which is very refreshing. We were all very sorry when the weekend was over as we didn't want to leave such a lovely place. We sincerely hope to stay here again.

Fantastic wedding and holiday venue
We had our wedding here in 2011 and had 100 people staying with us or in the surrounding areas. Angela was an absolutely wonderful host — fun, funny, and very enthusiastic and helpful. It’s a beautiful set of buildings and things to do, squirrelled away in a lovely little valley. The reception in the woodland glade surrounded by strange little sculptures was especially memorable.
We yesterday visited again with our kids, and Angela again was extremely lovely to us. We had a wander around, and they had improved things again.
I would strongly recommend this venue for weddings, holidays, bar mitzvahs — we are hoping to go back for our 10th wedding anniversary.
