The Garden Barn was absolutely perfect for four adults to to have a very relaxing stay. The location is great, not to far off the A38, and quiet with great views of the Devon countryside.Ivybridge is a lovely place with shops that will provide everything you need. Most importantly there are three shops that sell amazing pasties!Great location for exploring the South Hams and there are some great walks in the immediate area.
