Guests say

Bridgend Barn in Devon is highly praised for its charm, spaciousness, and well-equipped nature. Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches, cleanliness, and the property's idyllic location. The barn is well-furnished with a range of entertainment options and is within walking distance of local amenities. While there is a mention of a minor maintenance issue, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests eager to return.

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 beaches, pubs, and local attractions. The picturesque setting by a river adds to the appeal.

Comfort is a highlight, with guests finding the property very well designed and comfortable, including a children's bedroom that was particularly liked. The presence of a log burner and a large TV in the lounge also contributes to the comfort.

Facilities are highly rated, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen, entertainment options, and extras for the beach. A minor issue with a gate during strong winds suggests a slight deduction for maintenance.

Guests appreciate the thoughtful extras such as wellington boots, books, and a welcome pack. However, there was a minor issue with the welcome biscuits being soft, indicating that while gifts are a lovely touch, their quality may vary.

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.

  • Deborah

    Gorgeous location, and a true home from home with board games, books (even a children’s selection in the kids room), cds, dvds, and so many tiny details that I haven’t had in a cottage before. The kitchen was so well stocked and the place was spotless. Lovely bottle of Prosecco and biscuits on arrival and a real effort to make our holiday enjoyable. We would absolutely go again. My kids couldn’t believe how lucky we were to stop in a place which overlooks a river with ducks and swans!

  • Steve

    Owners responded quickly to our queries. House was well furnished, clean, in a fantastic location. Good walking from house and very good pubs/restaurants/cafe/shop also within walking distance. Would thoroughly recommend Bridgend.

  • Martyn

    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
