Reviews

Warren Hayloft is just past Cockwood harbour, on the Exe estuary. This beautiful property is one of two converted barns which is approached by wooden steps and has the living-area on the ground floor with the bedrooms below.

Steps lead up to the sitting-area, with a ‘living-flame’ fire, dining-area, and kitchen on the far side. The owners, who live elsewhere on the farm, have used exposed bleached beams and a soft pastel decor to reflect their proximity to the sea and long beach at Dawlish Warren.

Downstairs are two bedrooms and the bathroom (accessed only through the main bedroom). Outside the front door is a little wooden deck with a table and chairs and views over surrounding gardens and 50 acres of grazing land and the Exe estuary.

Customer reviews

Good or bad, we publish all the reviews left by the guests who have stayed at this property.

Mrs Bennett

We have just spent a month at the Hayloft. From our initial enquiry to booking, arriving and sadly leaving, we received the best customer service from Classic and the owner Richard. We felt like family. The property is in a fabulous location. The south facing garden, the space inside and the views and space outside is more than ample and a joy to have. The views of the Exe are idilic, the local infrastructure made for getting around so easy that we left the car on the driveway and there are so many great places, trails and beaches, we ran out of time. We would highly recommend in a heart beat and we will return many times.

Mrs Regan

We loved staying on the farm and seeing cows and sheep through the window on one side and a sea view on the other! The property is lovely, clean and in a good location. There's a lovely cycle/footpath up to Powderham Castle or down to Dawlish Warren (0.5 miles) where we hired bikes from Exe Cycle Hire. I would recommend the Anchor Inn at Starcross bridge for great food overlooking the harbour. There is also a local Trainline going through Dawlish Warren. We had another lovely stay with Classic Cottages thank you!

Mrs Cope

A well presented cottage in beautiful location.

Mr Kingslan

Lovely conversion. Set on a working farm. Owners very helpful. Village just a short walk away with an excellent pub.

Ms Flood

We really enjoyed our stay at Warren Hayloft. Everything in the cottage was of a high standard, from the kitchen, very well equipped to the comfy beds. The cottage was very clean. We particularly enjoyed sitting in the garden listening to the birds and enjoying the beautiful surroundings with a cup of tea or glass of wine. We met the owner once, he popped by to make sure we were happy. We were! Easy walk to the train station with good destinations. We only used the car one day, other days we used the train.Local pubs were okay, but we ate in most evenings. We really had a great week and hope to return in the future.

Mrs Sabini

Excellent location. The property has everything you could possibly need for a lovely holiday. This was our 2nd stay, we will definitely be returning- thank you

Mr Croft

Hayloft Warren offers everything you need to make a holiday enjoyable. In a perfect location. You never tire of the beautiful views. With so much choice of nearby places to visit. It made our second holiday here just as good as the first.

Mrs Stuart

We had a great week at Warren Hayloft and will probably book again.

Mr Blachford

Outstanding cottage in a superb location whether you want to explore the coast by foot, cycle or car. Stunning sunrise above Exmouth and picture postcard views of the estuary from your window. If you just want to relax you can just chill.

Mr Turnbull

Lovely barn conversion on a farm in beautiful surroundings and anyone looking for peace and quiet. Pub, train station beaches nearby and ferry at Starcross across to Exmouth. Great for walks and cycle rides. Richard welcomed us and was there if needed. Although this did not distract from our stay some areas required more attention to detail in cleanliness. (Oven, microwave, lots of cobwebs, dust under some appliances and surfaces. The bathroom could do with an upgrade, although completely serviceable. Dog friendly but the garden is not secure.

Mrs Mathew-Byrne

This is a lovely cottage which has been refurbished to a high standard with creativity. There is everything you need in the kitchen including a welcome bottle of wine! The beds are very comfortable as is the sitting room and lovely dining area. Nestled on the farm with beautiful gardens and can sit watching the cows or sheep who tend to be in the next field. Highly recommend this cottage with plenty of walks to keep our busy Border Collie happy.

Mrs Windsor

A lovely property, convenient for visiting the local area. Well equipped and comfortable.

Mr Croft

If you want a quiet peaceful place to stay with a wonderful view but not too far from the many places to visit by bus or train, then Warren Hayloft is a clean and very comfortable property and will suit your requirements. It is a pleasure to stay there.

Mrs Byrne

A lovely peaceful property in an area good for easy walking and watching wildlife.

Mr WOOD

Thoroughly enjoyed our week at this quiet and well furnished property. It offers great views of the estuary across to Exmouth. Plenty of easy walks. An excellent location/base for touring the region. Attentive hosts. We would highly recommend this lovely holiday accommodation.

Mrs Tuck

A very nice stay was had by all of us at Warren Hayloft. Excellent and beautiful location and views. The layout of Warren Hayloft worked well for the three of us as a holiday home. It was nice to have the bedrooms downstairs especially in the hotter weather and went some way to keeping us cooler. Easy access to the Exmouth Trail opposite property and easy walk from there to either Cockwood or Dawlish Warren. Great seeing the trains go by.

mrs wallis

Lovely barn conversion with everything you could need. Very comfortable with some lovely views. Be aware there are quite a lot of stairs.

Miss McBride

Great place, lovely quiet place, but minutes from lots of tourist towns & activities & 25 mins from Exeter . Perfect central location , and comfortable Wifi is not to be relied upon - phones it's fine, but laptop didn't like Wifi security - so be warned But that allowed me to switch off even more , so not complaining at all. A welcome escape

Mrs Fawcett

Warren Hayloft is a gem of a place. Ideally placed with some lovely views. The owners are lovely and they allowed our granddaughter to feed the lambs. If it’s peace and quiet and country/sea air you are looking for you’ll find it at Warren Hayloft. If you are not good with stairs or have very young children then the stairs may be an issue. I would very much like to stay there again.

SIR BUDD

A quite remarkably well furnished property.

Mrs Mcgranaghan

The cottage is outstanding, perfect location and private garden area. Very well maintained. We had a great holiday as a family so would like to thank Richard and his wife.

Mrs Patterson

A well furnished and well equipped cottage with lovely views of the Exe estuary and the farm fields and woods. We enjoyed walking on the Exe estuary trail and along different stretches of the south west coast path. The cottage is a relaxing base to return to with a patio which gets the afternoon and evening sun. We hope to return sometime.

Mrs Cox

Warren Hayloft is set in a great area, you don't need to use the car all the time as you can use the train to Teignmouth etc and walk to Dawlish along the coast wall and it's not far to Dawlish Warren itself. The accommodation is very comfortable and the farm extremely quiet and peaceful. All in all just what you need for a wonderful holiday!

Mr Clarke

Awesome barn Really good views peaceful and relaxing everything you need for a good holiday And the two pubs in cockwood are amazing both good food and good service.

Mrs Miller

Beautiful peaceful location. Highly recommended

Mrs Holland

Huge thanks for a fantastic stay. It was a picturesque location with views out to the trains, boats and Exmouth in the distance. It was wonderful to have a well stocked cottage- things like washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets etc were all made available and access to clothes washing facilities. Great location with access to lots of wonderful spots and walkable even with two young kids to the beach. Richard (the owner) allowed the kids to walk up to see the sites ponies and llama which the children loved. The area was very peaceful and quiet and ideal for a relaxing stay.

Mrs Cowen

Warren Loft is a lovely accommodation in a great location. Well equipped & comfortable. We would stay again if we visit the area again.

Ms Hooper

Classic Cottages continue to provide gold star service and offer lovely properties. Warren Hayloft ticked all the boxes in terms of location - just 1 minute from National Cycle Route 2 which allowed us to explore the beautiful Exe Valley and walking distance from two thriving village pubs.

Mr Ferriday

Great accommodation in a fabulous location.

mr Cowan

Beautifully appointed barn conversion ,lovely views very peaceful surroundings.Decor and appliances fantastic ,would highly recommend the loft to people who enjoy peaceful surroundings but still being close to the local area and coastal towns.We will be back

Mrs Robinson

All round we were very pleased with the property and it’s location. The main difficulty was entering the road from the driveway due to a blind bend to the right. A pole mounted mirror opposite would alleviate the problem.

Mrs Wilson

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Its in an ideal location and the views are fantastic. A really welcoming feel and a bottle of wine was very appreciated.

Mrs Crouch

We loved everything about the Hayloft, comfortable, cosy, a little quirky with great views! Will be returning for sure!!

mr armstrong

Very cosy little cottage decorated to a high standard and in a nice private setting.

Mrs Holroyd

Lovely comfortable property in a nice area. Owners are very friendly and helpful but also will give you privacy. The area is great for exploring, walking, lots of dog friendly places

Ms Carr

Quirky cottage which has been thoughtfully converted from stables. There are 3 steps up from front door to each of lounge/dining area and kitchen so constantly up and down as well as quite steep stairs down to bedroom/bathroom. Lovely views from communal seating area over Ex estuary as well as the surrounding fields.

Mrs Warren

very relaxing and I recommend this cottage to anybody wanting to get away.

Mrs Anstey

Lovely setting, with views of the estuary and an easy walk to two pubs. The accommodation was perfect.

Mrs Kirchin

The owners are lovely and helpful. A great cottage with stunning views and well thought out decor. Perfect for a peaceful holiday but also close enough to amenities . Would certainly come back again.

Mr McManamon

Our 2nd visit to this lovely cottage, it won't be our last. Perfect location, lovely interior, really nice owners

Ms Thorne

Comfortable, tastefully decorated property with slightly quirky open plan layout, very light and airy living area. Very peaceful position on quiet farm with pleasant outside area overlooking garden and land. Seating area and main windows face west so benefit from the afternoon/evening sun. Great location for all parts of the estuary, its nature reserves, towns, supermarket, train line, beaches, walks and cycle rides. The best aspect for us was the cottage being right on the cycle path running up/down the estuary - take your bike with you! - and having so many places to go within only a few miles. We recommend visiting the waterside area of Exeter, Topsham's museum, architecture, nature reserve & cafes, Exeminster & Dawlish Warren nature reserves & beach, Turf Hotel on the Exeter canal. Many thanks to the owners.

Mrs Perschky

We had a lovely weeks holiday, the Hayloft is really comfortable and the owners have decorated this tastefully and provided a well equipped kitchen. The views overlooking the Exe Estuary are attractive and the setting peaceful. The Hayloft provided us with an excellent base for trips out to Dartmoor and the Torbay area. We also enjoyed visiting the dog friendly beach areas at Dawlish Warren and Babacombe Bay and the sandy Exmouth via the ferry from Starcross. The local pub at Cockwood harbour is within easy walking distance and an ideal place for a drink and some cheesy chips.

Mr Scott

Good holiday home, excellent pub in village, good food.

Mr Ward

Ideal spacious cottage for family very well kitted out

Mr McManamon

it's a fabulous property, in an idyllic location, highly recommended

Mr Hamilton

The cottage is well maintained and in a very quiet location, with a lovely view over the estuary. It is located within a mile or two of Dawlish Warren itself where there is a very nice beach and promenade. There is a restaurant on the promenade which serves very good meals at a reasonable price. There are other restaurants nearby. In all it is an excellent location to spend a holiday and we look forward to staying there again next year

Mr Wilson

Fantastically well-equipped cottage in a lovely location - and great weather provided as an added bonus. Good pubs within walking distance, plus wifi in cottage. Blissful holiday for us.

Mrs Wilford

It was like staying in a brand new property. Also, everything was of the higtest quality, which is not always the case in rented properties! Once again, a very positive impression from Classic Cottages. We would not hesitate to use you again.

Mrs Warrington

Loved the cottage and location.

Mr Murphy

Excellent tucked away position but good links to local attractions.

Mr Hart

Nicely presented in a lovely farm location. Didn't find anything that would cause disappointment. Would be happy to recommend and look forward to another visit. Loved Liam (he's a llama).

Mrs Brand

This could be a very pleasant property with a bit more attention to cleanliness and general issues.

Mrs Furber

Perfect Holiday for us with small dog, with such lovely walks. We have had many cottages over the years,but this was the best ever. So well equipped and clean. Love classic cottages !

Mrs Winstanley

Warren Hayloft is a modern and very comfortable holiday property. We enjoyed having barbecues in the garden in the evening and my little girl liked seeing some of the animals on the farm.

Mrs Lister

Idylic. Views out the back with personal seating set the tone for an enchanting quirky barn conversion. We loved staying here for a romantic week away. Loved the bottle of wine on arrival.

Mrs Tyrrell

This was the perfect accommodation in the perfect location Thankyou

Miss Craggs

We stayed here for the third week of our honeymoon and it was perfect! The farm it's self is very well kept and you don't even notice the animals! Lovely view over looking the harbour too. The property was spectacular,very comfortable and the furnishings were lovely , very modern with a rustic twist. Our dog loved it too! Definatley a 10 out of 10

Ms Collins

We had a fantastic holiday at Warren Hayloft. It is a wonderful location and is right on the Exe cycle trail. We spent a fantastic day cycling the Exe estuary. The cottage is fabulous and the grounds are wonderful - including the lama! Peace and tranquillity coupled with tons to see and do....perfection!

Mrs Rundlett

Bright and airy layout Decor Extremely well-equipped kitchen Comfortable beds Superb location, restful environment, great battery-recharging break!

Mrs Smith

You can't beat the best and we had it

Mrs Eacott

A faultless place to stay that was very artistically designed and close to lots of holiday resorts.

Mr Charlesworth

This is without doubt the best holiday home I have stayed in and I'd warmly recommend it to anyone seeking a peaceful, relaxing farm stay. With several decent walks close-by (safe walking for dogs too) , buses to and from Cockwood Harbour and train stations both at Starcross and Dawlish Warren, this is a perfect getaway for someone with or without a car. Plus you're only 12 minutes from outer Exeter.

Mr Eaton

Decor and furnishing very nice .Good location for this part of South West Devon

Mrs Courtenay

We had a lovely week at this excellent cottage in a beautiful setting,a place to go if you want a thoroughly relaxing break.
