The Bark House

Booked this trip in April 2023 but when we arrived in August, we found it had shut down! From the looks of things, it's been closed for months. Now trying to get our money back! So disappointed as it looked beautiful on pictures.

From the first point of contact Gina was extremely welcoming and helpful, and went out of her way ensure that we could get a room booked on our chosen dates suitable for the dog 🐶 I was able to completely switch off in these beautiful surroundings and slept so well! Really friendly staff, great service, super clean and lovely food, we will definitely be back!

We appeared, unannounced, half an hour before closing on a Friday evening asking for a cream tea. We could not have been made more welcome. The scones were delicious, the tea was hot, the garden was beautiful and we will definitely come again. Thank you!

We loved it here from the minute we arrived, such a relaxed atmosphere. Room was homely, clean and comfortable. Rick and Gina were perfect hosts. Welcoming, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfasts were delicious and plentiful and all local produce. A great location as a base to explore this part of Devon. We will be back.

We stayed at the Bark bb for two nights and was made very welcome nothing was too much trouble for Rick and Gena The room very clean and warm, the bed comfortable. Could not wish for more but next time we hope they can do better with the weather.

We loved this place so much we decided to come back again this year. This time we took my parents. We had the large room by the garden which was brilliant for the dogs and my parents had a really lovely room at the other end of the hall. Breakfast is really filling and there is lots of choice. On the nights Rick cooks it’s well worth you trying out the selection on the menu. All the meat is fresh and the food is excellent. You can sit in the lounge after you eat and just chat or watch tv or have a drink from the bar. The location where this is setting is really nice. You are always made very welcome and you can ask on good places to visit. There are pubs close if they are not cooking on certain nights ( food not as good as Ricks though) Thank you very much to Rick and Gena for making our stay so special. My parents have been telling all there friends so I expect they will be going soon. Sure we will be going back again next year.

We stopped for a cup of tea at the bark house. The fruit scone and shortbread were delicious. The tea was serves in chi a cups and the tea garden was lovely. Very friendly host. Would absolutely recommend stopping off.

We stopped here on the way back home. The weather wasn't good to we sat inside - inside it's OK but not as pretty as the outside. So if you are hoping for a cute place, this is it if you can sit outside.
