The Lazy Sheep Barn was a lovely spot, perfect for us all. We loved the cosy vibe and can't wait to return soon! Definitely worth it.

The place is really special, set in its own little 60-acre valley - quite a find! There's a real touch of luxury everywhere, from chilled bottles of fizz in the fridge to soft, quality linens. The layout's perfect for family holidays with different staircases for upstairs rooms and a downstairs bedroom. Kids loved the outdoor gamesand the gamesroom, hot tuband swimming lake kept everyone entertained for ages. Honestly, we didn't want to leave! Definitely a place to return to.
Emily
We had such a lovely stay at The Lazy Sheep Barn! The setting is simply stunning, with rolling hills and a gorgeous lake nearby. The house is really well equipped-plenty of crockery, super comfy bedsand lush bedding. We appreciated the little touches like dog bowls, towelsand the outdoor cushions. The fire pit was perfect for chilly evenings. Plus, the welcome champagne and white port in every room showed how much Hayley and Charlie care. Honestly, it's a little gem!
Emma Roberts
We loved the spot! The owners were super friendly and made us feel right at home. The place was well-equipped, with those little touches that make all the difference. The kids had a blast in the games room and hot tuband there was plenty of space for them to run around. Overall, a fantastic stay!
Emma Carter
We loved this spot for our family break-it's like a bigger version of 'the holiday'. Perfect for Christmas, with long walks, boardgamesand just chilling out. Everything was thought of and more. Definitely somewhere we'd return to!
Alex
We absolutely loved the place! The grounds were perfect for walksand the hot tub was a real treat after a day of golf. The rooms were comfyand the decor lovely. Everything we needed was there - a fantastic stay all round.
Jane Roberts
We recently stayed here for a week with a group of friends in our 60sand honestly, it was great. The house itself was really comfortableand we loved making the most of the hot tub and games room. The kitchen was super well-equipped, with two full-length fridges and a separate freezer in the utility - plenty of mugs, platesand bowls. A few of us even dipped into the lake, though not for too long! Plus, the village of Dreadfulverton is just a short driveand day trips to Dunster Castle, Knighthayesand Sidmouth made the trip even better. We had a brilliant time!
Emma
From the moment we arrived, Hayley made us feel right at home, guiding us around without being pushy. The house itself is stunning, plenty of space for everyone, with cosy spots inside and out. We were lucky with the weatherand the lake views, along with the fields, really made our stay special - especially for the dogs. If you're considering a family getaway, definitely go for it. It's a real gem!
