We had a fantastic stay at Riverside BarnThe barn is really well equipped with everything you could possibly need. A real home from home. The bed is super comfy.Huge kitchen with large fridge/freezer, washing machine, dishwasher and centre Island. It was lovely to have lots of space for our own food. Large bathroom with an amazing shower.Sarah and David are amazing hosts. They left us scones with cream and Jam and a pint of milk. Also tea and coffee. Which really went down well after a long journey as I had forgotten to bring tea with me.It was lovely to know the dog was safe in the small enclosed garden.Sky sports made it even more special that we were able to watch F1.2 mins walk to the river and lovely walks from the Barn to the sea, beaches and town.I can't recommend Riverside Barn enough. We even booked for an extra 3 nights while we were there as we were having such a lovely time.

This was a perfect base for our holiday walking a section of the South West Coast Path & various other outdoor activities. The cottage is well-equipped, extremely dog-friendly, and David, our host, was very helpful and accommodating.
