The Great Barn is set in the middle of a picture postcard valley, but getting here is remarkably easy. For guests travelling by car we are just 15 minutes from the M5. Exeter St David’s train station is 20 minutes away with its high speed links to London, and Exeter Airport has an increasingly comprehensive list of destinations.
We strongly advise you to use our directions (above). If using sat nav, please approach via the B3193 otherwise it will direct you down very, very tiny Devon lanes!
Surrounded by the Place Barton private estate, exclusivity and privacy are guaranteed.
We have ample parking for over 45 cars at the back of the Barn, as well as disabled access. It is lit at night and guests are welcome to leave their cars overnight and pick them up on Sunday or Monday, or whenever suits them. Further parking can be arranged if necessary.
We can provide you with a list of lots of lovely B+B’s and small country hotels in the area, as well as suggestions for bus companies and taxis firms for those who might want to make use of the large range of hotels in Exeter.
Often our clients book mini buses to ferry guests to and from the Barn. We can help with that side of things, together with supplying you with a list of local taxi firms for your guests to book cabs in advance.
Helicopters can land on the estate if necessary so, all in all, it is perfectly possible to have a dreamy country wedding without the stress of guests getting lost in endless country lanes.
