The cottage was lovely, with a great kitchen, a comfortable living room and a great snug in the eves. The showers were good, and it was nice to have a choice of eating areas (in the kitchen or upstairs in the main room). The garden is really a small enclosed courtyard, although we also have use of the field. WiFi and smart TV worked well (a good thRead moreing, as our mobile signal was very weak!). The lane to the cottage is narrow, and the drive to the barn rather bumpy, but perfectly passable. Hide

Also needed to buy plastic kitchen utensils, toilet rolls, salt and pepper, kitchen foil and cling film, hand soap, and kitchen towels.

We had a lovely stay. The barn was so well equipped a real home from for us, I also enjoyed renewing my fire lighting skills with the wood burner. Everything was very clean and good quality, slept like a log every night. Enjoyed seeing the peacock strutting around as well as the sheep and the poultry. Great owner and a warm welcome.

All the cottages that we have stayed at in the past have had a welcome pack and the essential things like some tea bags, bread, milk, luckily enough we had these with us, but there wasn't even a salt or pepper pot, we did have a cream tea consisting of 2 scones with enough cream and jam for both scones, I don't know if it was just an oversight. BarRead moren was lovely although the stairs were quite steep, not ideal for older people. Very clean barn, tastefully decorated. A bit remote. Hide

A beautifully restored and immaculately clean barn conversion in a very peaceful spot in the South Devon countryside. Left in peace and quiet by the owner but her phone number is posted if the need to contact her does arise. The barn is equipped to live in comfortably throughout the year, never mind just for a few days.

Lovely property, very roomy and very quiet location when we were there. Well equipped. Minor issue with heating and hot water on arrival but dealt with quickly. Friendly owner. Rooms a little gloomy but building structure doesn't lend itself to more windows. Concerned about proximity of communal campsite showers to the barn. Not an issue at low seaRead moreson but could be disruptive later in year. Hide

So peaceful! We had the most relaxing stay at Harford Barn recently. Dartmoor is literally in the back garden and also within easy reach of the South Devon coast. The barn is tucked away down a quiet lane with everything you could need for a great holiday. We loved the resident pig in the field and hens clucking around the yard. For a party of fourRead more adults plus dog, there was easily enough room for us all. Days spent walking, and evenings by the wood burner in the comfy lounge - bliss. Hide
