Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Barnstaple

A beautiful home, very cosy and within walking distance of the bus station, the railway station and the town centre

Beautiful, spacious, unique place, with lovely decor and finished with elegance. Well thought out accommodation with everything you need. The place suited us perfectly for 9 guests. Exactly as described on the site. We struggled a bit with the amount of people to number of bathrooms, (1 bathroom, plus 1 en-suite) but not really an issue, just a bit of planning. The host, Rose was great, really responsive, approachable and friendly. We would definitely recommend this place and love to book again.

We had a wonderful stay at Tricia’s place. The house is amazing and has everything you could need. Beautiful views and an easy walk into Ilfracoombe. Tricia left a lovely welcome package for us and was so responsive. We’ll definitely be coming back!!

We had a lovely stay. The house was beautiful, and had everything we needed. It’s in a great location, walkable distance to local restaurants, shops and pubs. We felt at home right away!

A really lovely week, marred only by a couple of days' rain (which of course was nobody's fault!). Taryn was extremely efficient and responsive. Barbara was charming and helpful, and explained so much about the lambing process. The house was roomy - great for a family party of nine. My granddaughter loved visiting the lambs, and even holding a newly-born lamb in her arms. Wonderful rolling hill farmland to walk the dog. Visits to the sea, Exeter and Totnes were great too. Thank you, Barbara and Taryn.

Audrey's place was charming and lovely. We were only there for one night, but found it so quiet and restful with lovely soft beds. It is far off the beaten track and hard to find in the dark -- highly recommend arriving in daylight to make that a little easier! But Audrey was with us via text message every step of the way - she was incredibly helpful. Highly recommend!

We absolutely loved the house! It was very well appointed and the décor was so nice - very warm and welcoming. The outside space was a bonus (weather permitting!) and the lounge was really cosy. 10/10 for us!

Absolutely lovely house and location! Incredible views and the house was beautiful! Really helpful host, highly recommend 😊

Really a lovely and beautifully clean caravan, with towels and bedding and all the cleaning supplies etc so no need to bring too much from home. Stunning location you fall in love with straight away. Quiet in winter but you feel safe.

Lovely bright and clean accommodation in a peaceful neighbourhood. Short walk into the town with cafes, pubs and shops all within a couple of minutes. The host was helpfulf and responsive with some great local recommendations and will definitely visit again!

Thankyou for being a great host Rowan. Skyfall was immaculate and even better than the photos , would highly recommend to everyone. Rowan’s communications & recommendations were excellent Will definitely be booking another visit soon

Well located for centre of town and also the hospitals. A really lovely comfortable well equipped and stylish apartment. Anna Lisa was very responsive to any queries responding straight away which was great .

We stayed in The Schoolroom in Barbrook, North Devon – a stunning historical building that's been beautifully renovated. The space was once an old schoolroom, and you can really feel the history all around. Our hosts, Carolynn and Roland, were absolutely wonderful. So friendly, welcoming, and available whenever we needed anything. We ended up chatting loads during our short stay and honestly felt more like we were visiting friends than staying with hosts. Carolynn even arranged a lovely local dog sitter for us, which was so thoughtful and kind. The Schoolroom itself was peaceful, spotlessly clean, and finished to a really high standard – underfloor heating, a spa-like bathroom, log fire, comfy bed with soft sheets, and all the home comforts you could want. The location is incredibly quiet, with the soothing sound of a river just outside, and a fantastic dog-walking path right along the riverbank. It’s also very dog-friendly, which was a huge plus for us. A truly memorable experience.

Truly stunning apartment and perfect for my stay - loved the style and space much. Oh and a jacuzzi bath tub was a lovely surprize. Only thing I'd say is there's no number on the door so we had to kind of guess which door it was - I may have missed some instructions though

Had a wonderful stay in this beautiful apartment with stunning views of the coast. The apartment was spotless and really well appointed for a longer stay if that was required. We enjoyed a short break over Easter but the check in and out process was seamless as William communicated really well. A real joy to stay in such a lovely property in such a stunning location. Thank you so much, we will be back.

We had a wonderful stay in Woolacombe to celebrate my mum’s birthday, and this Airbnb was absolutely perfect for the occasion. The sea views were stunning, and the accommodation itself was decorated to a really high standard—beautifully clean, super comfortable, and fully equipped with everything we needed. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful, with clear and thoughtful communication throughout. The welcome pack was especially impressive—full of useful information and little extras that really exceeded our expectations. We also really loved the local photography by Tory on the walls -it gave the place a really personal and thoughtful feel, and added to the sense of connection with the area. My parents loved it so much they were tempted to extend their stay for the rest of the week (if only we didn’t have to go back to work!). We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place and will definitely be back. tip for fellow guests: don’t forget to log out of your streaming services

The comms and welcome were perfect. Great position with amazing views across the bay. Walking distance to everything you need. Very clean and tidy. Beds were good enough. Seems a little bit expensive for a fairly old style caravan but we had a great time and knew what we were getting so overall very happy with this booking. Thank you for being so friendly.

Rose Cottage is a lovely, old fashioned, quirky cottage - with lots of interesting objet d’art to discover throughout your time there. I loved how it is tucked away from the street, making it a really private space. Danielle was really informative about the surrounding areas and was on hand for queries. The living space downstairs is really relaxing (two of us learnt how to play chess in the lounge!) The outdoor space is really valuable as, I should imagine, in Appledore having a big garden is a real treat. The location is amazing - a minute’s stroll down to the quay - with the wonderful local shop, John’s, a stone’s throw away. We had fantastic weather, having lots of hot beach days in Croyde and Saunton Sands, but also loved catching the 5 minute ferry across to Instow village and beach. The attics bedrooms were a little warm (it was a very hot week), but Danielle kindly provided us with a fan which certainly helped on the top floor. Appledore is a magical place with beautiful cottages, great restaurants and Sylvester’s fish and chips are scrumptious - the first time I think I have ever managed to eat a whole battered cod! Thanks Danielle for a truly wonderful week’s holiday with the family.

Had a wonderful time. The place felt very secluded with amazing amenities and stunning sea view. Neil was very friendly and helpful too and even left us chocolates and champagne to help us celebrate a special occasion. Would love to stay here again sometime.

A madcap feast for the eyes! If you want a standard Airbnb filled full of IKEA then this place isn’t for you. If you want an authentic (and original) experience in a great location - then book it. Open fires, art, antiques, the sea all make up the DNA of Appledore and typify Myrtle Cottage as a microcosm of North Devon’s prettiest fishing village (that you don’t have to pay to visit!)

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely home! The house is incredibly spacious, making it perfect for families or larger groups. There was more than enough room for everyone to relax and enjoy themselves. One of the highlights was the large parking area—plenty of space to comfortably park up to 5 cars, which made things so convenient for us. Inside, the house is well-equipped for families, especially those with kids. There were lots of toys to keep the little ones entertained, which was a huge plus. The dining table is impressively big, allowing everyone to sit together and enjoy meals as a group—something we really appreciated. We were also pleasantly surprised by the generous complimentary breakfast items stocked in the house. It was a thoughtful touch that made our mornings easier and more enjoyable. The outdoor space is just as inviting as the inside. The back garden features a fun trampoline for kids, and a gas barbecue that’s perfect for enjoying meals outside.

The house was everything expected and more. The amenities were over and above and made it so easy to feel at home and enjoy our holiday. We were a group of friends including multiple couples and there was lots of social space to be together as a group but still be independent with big spacious well thought out rooms. The house would suits friends or family looking to stay together,is suitable for kids and the fact it was dog friendly was a bonus for our 4 legged friend. The location was perfect, a short walk to the harbour and the sea view was beautiful. I had the master bedroom on the first floor and waking up to those views was amazing. Oliver was a fantastic host, quick to respond or confirm anything I needed. I would 100% recommend this home and everyone that joined us said the same. The home made our 40th birthday celebrations even more special. Thank you Oliver
