Admire the breathtaking views from the comfort of your luxury hot tub
Access to on-site facilities including an indoor heated pool and a children’s play area
Perfect base to explore Exmoor National Park, Ilfracombe and North Devon’s stunning beaches
Perched above a tranquil valley on the edge of Exmoor’s North Devon coast, Valley View Barn will make you feel at home from the moment you arrive. The location is quiet and secluded, while the barn is complete with a bubbling hot tub, a cosy living room with a wood-burning stove and five spacious bedrooms. Should you wish to explore the area, the estate offers many family-friendly facilities, or you can explore a selection of stunning beaches, including Barricane Beach and Woolacombe.
This beautifully renovated barn is adorned with a grand triple-height ceiling, exposed stone walls and a warm and welcoming living space that can only be described as the heart of the home. A collection of sumptuous sofas invites you to relax and unwind with a book in hand from the extensive library, or you can simply enjoy your favourite movie on the Smart TV with the ambience of the wood-burning stove in your midst.
Outside, there’s a large, decked area with a luxury hot tub, an outdoor dining area and a BBQ. The views extend across the unspoilt valley and provide the perfect backdrop for alfresco meals or a morning coffee. As the sun starts to set, gather around the chiminea for a cosy evening beneath the stars.
You will have access to a host of on-site leisure facilities that are shared by guests of all cottages:

The Old Barn was beautiful but as a large family group it didn’t provide the most practical of facilities. Hiking through the lounge and upstairs to eat on the deck was a mission. The dishwasher was in the most ridiculous cupboard which was a nuisance to open, as was the bin! It lacked a tumble dryer which is essential for families on wet days and we had to ask for cleaning materials such as a mop to keep the floor nice during our stay. Please also consider relaxing your rules about dogs, we found it beyond stressful trying to keep them out of the lounge and contained within the garden space, its not practical for them to be on leads all week.
With the large price tag that comes with the property and the early check out time of 9.30am, we felt it totally inappropriate to ask us to strip our own beds and empty the bins before we left - not least because the general rubbish bins are not big enough.
On the plus side, Alice and her team were lovely. Dom and his partner were a highlight and there’s no doubt Coulscott offers a lovely setting. Review completed by the family.

We went with our adult children and grandchildren (6 adults, 2 toddlers a baby and a dog). We were blessed with good weather so it made our week even more enjoyable. Pool and soft play was great and used them a lot. Drove to Ilfracombe and Woolacombe beaches very easy to get to. Went to the Wildlife & Dinosaur park in Combe Martin 5 mins drive away. Walks and feeding the goats every morning was a great fun. Hot tub was used most nights after kids went to bed. We even stayed an extra night we didn’t want to leave. It has the most amazing views and you are instantly relaxed when surrounded by such beauty. Alice was on hand for any questions and also on sight. It was plenty big enough for our 3 families with our own separate areas in the barn itself. We will definitely be returning next year!

Excellent accommodation & facilities for a multigenerational family stay eg all en-suite bathrooms and separate family areas . V spacious outside decking area with hot tub . The children loved feeding the animals & the swimming pool . The latter having rather high levels of chlorine - too much so for some sensitive eyes & skin.
Great location & walks around the property would certainly highly recommend.

Great property for a large family gathering. Plenty to keep the young children occupied when we were on site. Very good customer service from Alice. Very enjoyable holiday
