The location is highly praised for its quiet, picturesque setting and proximity to local attractions, including beaches, pubs, and shops. The rural charm and wildlife are particularly appreciated, although some guests noted the challenge of narrow roads.

Dog friendly with lovely upper garden where our dog can run around. We've only ever been over new years and also so central heating or log fire you still feel so warm with many heaters around. Kitchen equipped for sitting round the lovely farmhouse table. Games rooms. Laundry room. Towells and fresh bed included all in the price. We hope to return again for sure! *Small faults we had was the WiFi was rather slow and new years morning ( after the obligatory late night for the new years count down). Someone from 9pm was using a chainsaw for about an hour which woke both our children.

Lovely friendly pub( Pickwick Inn)and very good shop half a mile away .Great food place at Bigbury on sea looking over to Burgh Island and all so beautiful as was Bantham Beach- worth every penny of the £5.00 parking charge. Lovely friendly church at Ringmore with a fascinating 14c mural. We went home feeling blessed by our holiday

It had everything we needed for our stay. The downstairs area smelled a little musty, but it is probably to be expected in this type of property, with thick walls etc. Also, lots of cobwebs, again to be expected in a barn at this time of year. On the whole, it was very clean. The velux windows could do with a clean but difficult to get to. My gripes are minor and would not put me off staying again. I can definitely recommend this holiday rental.
