The Experience

The barn sits demurely in a little village surrounded by green hills and farmland. There’s a pretty courtyard garden to one side with benches, tables and chairs for a cup of tea or a glass of wine, and a huge paddock full of wildflowers in spring and summer which you’re free to potter around. Should it be chilly you can retreat to the sitting room with squishy sofas, plenty of books, pictures and ornaments.

Bedrooms (one on the ground floor, one upstairs) have clouds of goose down, thoughtful lighting and smart en suite bathrooms. Breakfast starts with a kefir shot, a plate of fresh fruit with Greek yogurt, and croissants. A full English includes local sausages and bacon, oven-roasted tomatoes and eggs cooked as you like. Omelettes are offered and vegetarians and vegans happily fed too. It’s a spoiling sort of place.

Walk, cycle, explore Honiton, visit gardens, treat yourselves to dinner at The Pig at Combe, 10 minutes away.

Reviews

From the moment you step into this beautiful barn, you will be wowed by the spacious and luxuriously appointed rooms. The setting is very peaceful with many walks from the doorstep. Anthony and Lance are such welcoming hosts, nothing is too much trouble. The breakfasts are out of this world so prepared to be spoilt. I could stay here forever and be pampered.

We recently stayed with two friends in the Terrace and Courtyard Suites at Underhill Barn B and B. We had the most wonderful time. The accommodation is superb, with the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in! The property and its location are beautiful and the breakfast outstanding. Many thanks to our fantastic hosts, Ants and Lance. We were sorry to leave!

Where do I start?! Probably one of the best B&B stays I've ever had and almost certainly one of the best breakfasts I've had (Ants' scrambled egg is next level!). Ants and Lance provided a cosy and comfortable stay at Underhill Barn; my large room was immaculate and the huge bed was super comfortable. There was cake on arrival and the most delicious home-cooked breakfast both mornings of my stay. The accommodation is perfectly situated for exploring beautiful East Devon. A truly memorable stay!

Underhill is the most beautiful bed and breakfast in a stunning setting. Our hosts Ant and Lance were so attentive and charming. Nothing was too much trouble. Ant thought of everything to make our stay so perfect. I had my elderly Mum with me who was celebrating a birthday. She has major mobility issues. Ant gave advice on where to eat in the evening and where to go in the day that would be suitable which was invaluable. His breakfast was amazing - beautifully presented and cooked to order. The courtyard garden is a sun trap. It felt like a home from home, and I cant recommend it enough.

Ants and Lance were very welcoming - they obviously take great pride in making sure that everything is as perfect as they can make it for your stay. The barn has been beautifully converted and is spotlessly clean. Our room was very spacious with everything we needed and an extra private seating area just outside. The bed was extremely comfortable with luxurious bedding and we both slept exceptionally well. The breakfast was fabulous, setting us up for the day and we took our danish pastries out with us each day to have for elevenses. Ants and Lance's local knowledge was very helpful too.

Location

The neighbourhood

There are footpaths from the door but start by looking at the sweet church with its 12th-century font and ancient treble bell. Colyton is two miles away and has three pubs, a café and a couple of small shops. Honiton, four miles, an ancient Lace Town, has bigger shops and a lively street market every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Blackbury Camp is nearby and the south coast beaches are a short hop.

Local points of interest from Anthony Letcher

  • With access to coast and country pack your walking boots and swimming cozzie. Blackberry Camp is a 45 minute walk, whilst Branscombe beach is just over 10 minutes by car.
  • Explore the South West Coastal Path in East Devon and nearby Dorset. Particular favourites are the walks around the Golden Cap, one of the highest points on the Southern coast.
  • The Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site runs 95 miles east from Exmouth to Old Harry’s Rocks near Swanage in Dorset and is easily accessible at Beer, Sidmouth and Branscome, fancy paddleboarding or sea canoeing?
  • Eat delicious local produce from nearby sea and land that will get your tastebuds tingling and check out some amazing farm emporia at Greendale and Darts Farm that stocks the best of the Southwest. Visit the Darts farm website for more information.
  • Star quality dining; East Devon and nearby Dorset has some amazing places to eat. Glebe House is above us and Robin Wylde, The Oyster & Fish House and Lympstone Manor are all between 20 and 40 minutes drive from Underhill Barn.
  • Along the A303 to us, the National Trust have some great attractions en-route, Stourhead & Tintinhull Gardens or if the weather isn’t so great, Montacute house or Lytes Cary Manor.

Introducing

Anthony Letcher

Anthony and Lance live in the other half of the barn and are extremely friendly and helpful. They wanted to move to the West Country for many years but busy careers in London along with family commitments got in the way. They look after you with aplomb and are very happy to be here, along with Tilly the tabby cat, who also prefers Devon.
