Otter Pool Barn Reviews

Emma Clarke
We had a lovely stay at Otter Pool Barn. The place is super clean, warmand feels really welcoming. It's so easy to get around, even with a wheelchair, thanks to thoughtful design and the downstairs hoist, which was a real lifesaver. The kitchen is well stockedand there's plenty of hot water for everyone. We loved relaxing in the jacuzzi dailyand the outdoor space is just gorgeous. Our dog especially enjoyed his morning run around the lake, spotting wildlife like a barn owl. All in all, a fantastic break for everyone in our group!
Emma
We had such a lovely stay at this charming converted barn in North Devon. The location is perfect for exploringand the place itself is super well-equipped, making it easy to relax. Watching sunsets from the pool was a real highlight! For anyone with mobility needs, this property is genuinely thoughtfully designed-profiling beds, pressure relief mattressesand an overhead hoist made a big difference for us. The hosts were incredibly friendly and accommodating, which made all the difference. Ohand we even got to meet some adorable alpacas, which was a lovely surprise! Overall, a fantastic getaway that we'd happily do again.
Emma T.
Wow, what a fantastic place! The house was really spacious and had some quirky touches that made it feel special. It was spotlessly clean and well-furnished, with everything of good quality. Outside, the hot tub and hydro pool were perfect after a day outand the BBQ area was handy for evenings. The kids loved the play zoneand we enjoyed a lovely walk to the nearby lake, spotting alpacas along the way. Parking was straightforward too. We had a brilliant stay and definitely want to come back!
Emma
Plenty of space for everyone, really comfy.

Really enjoyed our visit! The setting is perfect for unwinding with loved onesand the cosy vibe makes it a great spot. Location's spot-on for exploring lovely nearby sites.
Emma T.
Wow, what a fantastic stay! The cottage had everything we needed and more. The six double bedrooms were spacious and perfect for our large group, especially since my disabled husband's needs were well catered for. We loved the huge main lounge and the second lounge where we kept ourselves entertained with snooker, table tennisand other games. The kitchen-diner was massive, with a big table that fit everyone comfortably. The swimming pool was a real highlight, complete with a changing room and shower-such a bonus! The garden was lovelyand the field next door was great for flying kites. We also took a walk down to the lake, where you can canoe and paddleboard, though the weather was a bit gloomy, so we didn't get to try. There's a small play area for kids, which my little ones adored. Overall, it was brilliantand we definitely plan to return. We ranged from 2 to 92 and everyone enjoyed it!
Emma
Honestly, we had a really lovely stay. The place was spotless and had everything we needed, no matter our age or ability. We appreciated the small touches like dishwasher tabs, washing geland plenty of soap in every room - it made things so much easier. There was also an abundance of towels and cleaning supplies, which was a nice surprise. Our dogs felt welcome too, thanks to the thoughtful hospitality gifts and being allowed in the pool and hot tub. The owners were genuinely friendly and checked in on us regularly, but never intrusive. They even helped with the alpacas and pool maintenance, which we thought was lovely. We truly couldn't fault the accommodation - it made our holiday special and stress-free. Thanks for a great stay!
Emma
We really enjoyed our stay, with 12 of us ranging from 2 to 60, plus the dog! The hot tub and pool were fantastic, even in the rainy weather thanks to the cover. The house and grounds are fully accessible for a wheelchair user, which was great. Plus, Ilfracombe, Woolacombeand the Tarka trail are all nearby-definitely recommend!
Emma
The place looked even better than the photos and was super comfy. It had thoughtful features for everyone, including those with disabilities. We loved it!
Emma Carter
We really enjoyed our stay at this property! The house was super spacious, so nobody felt crampedand having ceiling hoists was a real bonus for us. The pool and hot tub were definitely highlights, everyone loved them. Plus, the electric car charger was a great touch and good value. Everything we needed was thereand we'd definitely come back. Thanks to Kate and Simon for a lovely stay!
Emma Clarke
We recently returned to Otter Pool Barn for a family gathering and honestly, it's just perfect for us. Our son has complex mobility needsand the place is thoughtfully equipped with fantastic accessibility features, which made a huge difference. The pool was a hitand we spent ages on the lake paddle boarding. The great hall is such a lovely space to hang outand the owners are genuinely friendly. The house is well-stocked with everything we needed. Can't wait to come back!
Emma S.
The place is really well kitted out, perfect if you need special stuff like hoists or profiling beds. Everything's easy to reach and accessible throughout the house.
