Snaptrip says

Bridgend Barn in Devon is highly praised for its charm, spaciousness, and well-equipped nature, offering a comfortable stay with thoughtful touches. The local area is appreciated for its lovely beaches and good pubs, enhancing the idyllic location. The property boasts a well-maintained garden and ample parking, though there was a minor issue with a gate during strong winds. Guests enjoy the homely feel, with books, games, and a log burner adding to the experience.

Guests that stayed at this property said

The property is consistently described as clean, with one review specifically commending the cleaning company. No negative comments about cleanliness were noted.

The location is repeatedly mentioned as special, idyllic, and perfect, with proximity to lovely beaches and local amenities like pubs. The only minor issue was related to the gate in strong winds, which does not significantly impact the overall location score.

Guests find the property very comfortable, with a well-designed house and a particularly cool room for children. The presence of a log burner and a comfortable lounge area also contribute to the high comfort level.

The barn is praised for being highly equipped, including a Nespresso coffee machine and high-quality TV. There was a single mention of a maintenance issue regarding the gate, which slightly affects the score.

Reviews highlight the thoughtful extras like wellington boots, books, and a crib sheet of facilities. However, there was a mention of a welcome pack with biscuits past their use by date, which suggests that while thoughtful touches are generally appreciated, they may not always be guaranteed.

About this property

A wonderfully presented, three-bedroom barn situated in the picturesque village of Newton Ferrers, Devon. Set overlooking the river with a lovely enclosed rear patio, Bridgend Barn offers an idyllic base for a family of six seeking a stay in Devon. Internally, the property features a wonderful living area upstairs, enhanced with apex vaulted ceilings and ample natural lighting, with large squishy sofas, armchairs, games table and a Smart TV for catching-up on your favourite shows. Off the living area is a delightful twin room, ideal for those little ones, plus an en-suite bathroom where you can freshen up with a lazy soak. Downstairs offers an amply equipped kitchen, where you can rustle up something tasty assisted by a range of appliances, including a large gas range cooker. Gather at the dining table or take the evening outside and enjoy a meal on the patio, toasting to a much-needed escape with your nearest and dearest. The remaining bedrooms are situated downstairs and include a king-size with ensuite, and a double with family bathroom, both enjoying picturesque riverside views. Newton Ferrers makes a tranquil holiday base on the south coast of Devon, with a local shop and post office, three lovely pubs that overlook the river Yealm, and riverside walks.Within a short walk you will reach the beautiful coastal Cellar Beach where the rocky scenery is to be admired, and those history lovers will appreciate a visit to the ancient Church of St Peters. A short drive takes you to the stunning beaches of Mothercombe and Wonwell, or escape further afield to discover the wonders of Plymouth, a bustling port city where there is a selection of historic sites, including the Mayflower Steps Memorial, the Royal Citadel and a wealth of shopping opportunities. Those keen walkers should join the coastal path, venturing from Newton Ferrers to Noss Mayo, whilst north Dartmoor’s high tors and open spaces should also be explored.For a memorable holiday to the picturesque county of Devon, look no further than Bridgend Barn.

A tranquil, picturesque village in the South Hams area of Devon, on a bend of the River Yealm leading up from the South Devon coast (1 mile). The perfect haven for sailors, for those who love messing about near water and for those who appreciate stunning and civilised countryside. There is a local butcher, chemist, post office and grocer in Newton Ferrers and an organic farm shop just two miles away. The village pub, with fantastic views across the water towards Noss Mayo and the creek, serves good food and drink. The area is blessed with many walks that meander along the waterside and across the fields, while to the north Dartmoor's high tors and open spaces beckon those who love wild country. The city of Plymouth with its shops, Marine Aquarium and Barbican quayside area is just 8 miles away while beautiful Totnes with its 'alternative' view on life is a must. If the beach rather than boats is what you seek, you won't do better than the beautiful sands at Mothecombe and Bigbury just a few miles down the road. Both are accessible by road or boat from Newton Ferrers. There are a number of excellent golf courses nearby.

    The location is idyllic and walking distance of Noss Mayo & Newton Ferraris. The accommodation is immaculate and is equipped with everything you could need, the amount of books, games, dvds etc makes it feel more like a home from home. We were sad to leave and will be happy to book again in the future

    Left a note as they were soft and a glass of instant coffee was rock hard. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay.

  • James

    We love it here; the house is so comfortable and very well designed. Our girls (5 and 7) love the upstairs bedroom with its own bathroom, its such a cool room for children. The kitchen is a lovely hub of the house with wonderful views out of the windows. We love too the lounge with its log burner and awesome big television. We liked it all as much in the winter as the summer. The village is great with a few good pubs to choose from, our favourite is the Swan. In short this is a wonderful place to stay in a wonderful place.
