Barn vacation rentals in River Dart

We had a wonderful stay at Bridesmere over New Year and it was just what we needed. Peaceful, beautiful area, lovely comfortable home from home. We appreciated the enclosed garden for our spaniel, the beautiful and spacious bedrooms and the living area which was large enough for all 7 of us, two families. WiFi was strong upstairs so no issue with all of us connected and the tv had all apps we needed to watch films with no buffering. There is a beautiful walk through the forest along the river just minutes from the house which leads to a very nice pub serving good food. As other reviews mention, the kids room smells a little musty/damp but this was not a huge issue and we opened the bathroom window after showering which helped. Kitchen well stocked but knives are a little blunt! Children loved the games barn and not having to bring bikes with us was really helpful and appreciated. Overall we couldn’t have asked for a nicer stay and we would definitely return. Thank you for having us.

We have had a fantastic stay at The Swallows. This was our first family holiday with our two daughters, their partners and our one year old Granddaughter. The location was perfect and the accommodation had everything we needed. It was spotlessly clean. We loved being able to use the pizza oven for cooking and the location was perfect to visit all of our favourite haunts. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

We loved every minute in the Apple Loft! Perfect place to escape the noise, stress and anxieties of a city life. Tasteful decor and a friendly host. We could’ve been more relaxed! Thank you.

Just got back from Exmouth following stay in Kate's place. Really enjoyed our stay. Everything we needed. Place was warm and cosy. First time away with dog and no problems. After a a day of walking perfect to come back to. Would highly recommend and will be on our list to return to. Jane and family

We were a group of ladies and we loved Sarah's place. The house is beautiful, very homely with everything we needed. Comfy beds, nice bathrooms, great showers, lovely and warm. Lots of little extra touches. The pool was fab and we had fun in the games room. We would definitely recommend and will definitely return.

The views from Cider Barn are so beautiful. We watched a barn owl hunting over the fields at dusk and dawn and the sound of a tawny owl whit wooing as I was going to sleep was magical! The living room / kitchen / dining is light and open plan and when I was there the sun was streaming in from sunrise to sunset. Loved watching the sunset with the owl hunting! Really enjoyed my stay here. It's an old barn - so the floor boards are a bit creaky but it is a special place.

This is a wonderful place to stay! The accommodation was perfect and Sandra had thought of all the little extras including the best homemade biscuits! The little garden is just lovely and having the sheep, goats, pigs and chickens nearby to show to the children is such a bonus! The sense of peace and the beautiful views make this one of the loveliest places I have ever stayed :)

Penny and Paul were the perfect hosts. We have fallen in love with the Threshing Barn and all of their lovely animals. They are both incredibly passionate about their animals and are very knowledgeable about the local area, giving amazing recommendations (the Black River Inn did not disappoint!). The home was spotless and loads of information provided about things to do. We have already recommended it to lots of family and friends and we are planning our next visit. The evening won’t be the same without our trip to say goodnight to the animals !! Thank you so much Penny, Paul, George, Florence, Alfred, Pinky, Hugo, Gabriel, Merlin and all others !! X

We had a fantastic night at the Shippon. We loved the style of the property and felt very relaxed whilst there. We got some nice food from Bens farm shop which is just 10 minutes drive away. We enjoyed a couple of nice circular walks from the village along lanes and bridleways. The plant nursery up the road is worth a visit if you enjoy gardening/plants.

An absolute oasis of peace and beauty. From the setting in the midst of wonderful countryside to the absolute top notch furnishings there isn't a better place to be for quality time away from home. There isn't anything that needs to be done to make the Old Barn any more perfect, Absolutely everything needed was there. The kitchen was well equip, the lounge space a haven to relax in accompanied by the sweeping view from the balcony. The bedroom housed the most comfortable bed I've slept in and the bathroom has an amazing shower and a huge bath you can really relax in. I can't sing the praises of the property and the wonderful hosts loud enough. Looking forward to our next stay here.

Wonderful quirky place to stay with the family, lots of outdoor activities that kept us busy, sauna was a novelty. The children loved the animals especially collected and eating freshly laid eggs. Great place for a little family adventure. Beds were comfy and it was really peaceful sitting by the fire pit toasting marshmallows in the evenings.

Very comfortable stay and both quiet and peaceful. Well equipped, everything worked, a fabulous wood burner (plus electric radiators) along with an ensuite for each bedroom ensured a happy long weekend. Parking for two cars very helpful indeed. My second visit in two years.

We and the kids loved our stay in the Long Barn. Louise was super helpful and the accommodation was perfect for our week away with the family. The girls loved saying hello to the goats in morning and exploring the farm to find the geese, sheep and chickens. Lovelly place x

We are very happy and pleased with our stay at Leanne’s place - 5/5. Everything was great except that some frying pans and saucepans were dirty. The house was extremely nice and cosy and we really liked it the whole family. Leanne was an excellent host and responded immediately when we had questions. She also gave us cakes and chocolate treats when we arrived, a very thoughtful gesture 🙏.

The house was lovely, we felt right at home. Claire was responsive to messages before our check in which made finding and checking in even easier. The kicthen was lovely and clean with lots of space. The bathroom was lovely and clean. Dartmoor is so pretty, the kitchen doors led right onto an amazing view of Dartmoor with an amazing sunset. The hot tub was amazing.

Just returned from a wonderful last minute 4 night Easter break at Monty's. Everything was perfect. Maria was a great host with lots of information on how to get in and great recommendations for places to eat and things to do. Monty's was spotlessly clean and well equipped as well as being very quiet. It's a great location for wonderful walks and not far to visit the beautiful beaches around this area along with Salcombe and Dartmouth. Would definitely recommend staying here.

We really loved our stay in Otter’s Den, it was perfect for a family meet up. All of the facilities (pool, games room, park etc) were a great bonus. We also appreciated the lovely grounds (lake and woods) and meeting the animals was lovely for the kids. Otter’s Den itself is a beautiful property and we loved the big windows for sitting in the sun. It was well equipped with thoughtful touches such as kids toys, everything you need in the kitchen and various extra baby/child items available on request prior to arriving. Max and his family were also very friendly, helpful and welcoming. We would definitely recommend and love to stay again in the future!

Katie and Ruby (the family’s gorgeous 14 year old golden retriever) made us feel very welcome when we arrived and the cream tea that Katie provided was yummy. The accommodation had everything we needed and if it had been warmer we would have enjoyed sitting outside on the private patio, overlooking fields. The local area was peaceful and Tavistock was only a few minutes drive away. We had a lovely time staying here and hope that everyone else does too.

We know Marldon well with Family located very nearby. The property is small and compact but suited the two of us perfectly. If you were staying longer than a weekend you would probably look for some external space, but its perfectly formed and well thought out with the provision of its facilities,. The breakfast with its quality bread, butter jam and marmalade was a nice touch. Overall a pleasant, value for money, stay. Thank you Sally.

Loved our stay. Lovely barn with a great feel to it. Will come again

Absolutely beautiful converted barn with beautiful views of the countryside. The shower was amazing as was the hot tub! it was beautifully decorated and very clean. Thank you for a lovely stay! 💖

A beautiful and quaint air BnB, perfect location for exploring South Devon. The accommodation had everything we needed for two adults and a small dog. The hosts were very helpful when we had a query and were very friendly and welcoming when we arrived and left.

Spent the week at Michael and Caroline’s cosy barn and couldn’t have asked for a better time. Such a serene location where you’re immersed in nature. It was lovely to hear the birds chirping, the river running and the wind through the trees. The barn itself was very cosy, especially the new king size bed they’ve put in. The underfloor heating in the kitchen and bathroom was a nice surprise. The host themselves provided clear instructions on how to use the facilities and this made things so much easier. Only a couple of days into our stay we had already decided we’d be coming back.

A lovely apartments. Very spacious, more than shown in photos. Everything was spotless. Very comprehensive info pack with everything about all appliances, area, beaches etc. the property accepts pets but because of the excellent cleanliness of the property you would not know that previous users had brought their furry friends with them. It is off the beaten track which is part of its charm. A lovely group of converted farm buildings. Would def stay again.
