Farmstay vacation rentals in River Dart

We had a great stay in this lovely barn on this beautiful, friendly and welcoming farm. Piers and Sue were absolutely great hosts and we couldn’t have felt more welcome.

Absolutely perfect stay! Having first stayed here in 2019 we returned and have just spent three nights at this beautiful rural Airbnb and couldn’t have asked for more. The bed was incredibly comfy, ensuring a great night’s sleep after long coastal walks. The hosts were warm, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. The property had everything we needed, and the garden was a peaceful spot to relax. We loved the walks to Hope Cove and also did a fantastic 10km hike along the coast to Salcombe. Can’t recommend this place enough. We’ll definitely be back!

We had an amazing weeks stay at the barn. Steve and Tessa were such amazing host, the barn is immaculate, clean, comfortable and very welcoming. They both went above to ensure that we were comfortable, providing extra dog towels, Steve instructions on how to find the barn, checking that we were warm enough and had everything we need. The barn is surrounded by beautiful tranquil forest and miles of walking routes. Thank you so much for having us .

Serendipity is a lovely house with stunning views. Marks has designed and refurbished his house beautifully and very much with his guests in mind. The downstairs is spacious with a very large table so we as a party of nine could sit all together or in separate groups inside and outside. Well done to Mark. He is a very considerate and welcoming host.

The views from the cottage are just stunning. It’s such a peaceful area in the heart of Dartmoor. Miho has clearly put so much love into her garden too, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The organic vegetable garden was fantastic, and the kids enjoyed collecting things for our supper. We saw wild animals walking so close to the cottage and it was magical. The beds were super comfy, great shower, great selection in the kitchen and some lovely throwback films to choose from too. Thank you. I’m sure we’ll be back!

Great location and base to explore the surrounding areas and scenery! Very clean and has everything we needed, including a brilliant dog secure garden overlooking the fields and horses. Would definitely recommend for a rural stay in South Devon. 🤩

Stunning location with exquisite views. Really tastefully decorated and fully equipped. A delightful little hideaway. The first evening listening to the evening bird chorus and owls was wonderful. The second evening was less peaceful although it didn’t spoil our evening as there were a lot of voices and laughter coming from somewhere for a while but it did finish well before bedtime. Would definitely recommend as a stunning base for visits to Salcombe and surrounding areas.

Fantastic spot as a base to go and explore. House was very homely and had everything that we needed. Flowers were a lovely touch in each room Thank you to Clare for her hospitality and kindness. Hope to return

We had a wonderful stay, such a nice weekend. The house was just fantastic. Lots of things to keep everyone entertained. The pool table and dart board were great for the kids and the garden and the surrounding views were just beautiful. The house is so well equipped and Francis was on hand to help with any questions. We were a party of 10 plus two dogs and there was plenty of room for everyone.

It’s a beautiful, very private accommodation with incredible views over the countryside. We loved our stay, especially the hot tub, and would definitely return. The hosts were absolutely brilliant too.

My friends and I stayed at Louise’s place for a long weekend, and it was a wonderful time. The house fit 11 adults no problem. Lovely and quiet, the pool was so much fun, and we made good use of the fire pit to have s’mores. Harry gave us a tour of the dairy farm & beehives, & let us see the calves which was lovely. Louise was a fab host, very good communicator and always at hand if needed. Great stay overall!

We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend at Swallows Nest. Lucia and Dan met us on arrival and also left a card and bottle of bubbly for my birthday which I thought was very kind. We have a four year old and one year old so it’s not always easy finding somewhere suitable but Lucia kindly set up a cot for us and supplied a high chair. The upstairs is open plan with a gate across the stairs so very safe for our baby crawling. Our four year old absolutely loved being on a farm and going to collect fresh milk from over the road. It’s so peaceful day and night. It was our first time in this part of Devon and we were blown away by the landscape, pretty little villages and many beaches in such lovely unspoilt settings. We would love to stay again!

Amazing coach house . Very clean and tasteful decor. Felt at home straightaway after Karen and Steve greeted us. Had a lovely couple of nights and enjoyed watching the alpacas with our dog. Great location. Enjoyed walking into the village and had a lovely meal at The Saddlers, 5 min walk.

Jenni was very welcoming and the property was clean and cosy, with easy parking right outside! I had a great stay and would 100% recommend.

We loved are stay at no3, lovely quiet location and so peaceful, very friendly layback atmosphere in the village and being able to walk straight onto the moor, a real bonus, found parking spaces easily near the cottage. The, Taw River Inn, in Sticklepath and, The Tor, in the village were great for food. Ledford Gorge is definitely worth a visit, just magical.

Absolutely beautiful location. Very tasteful decor. So cosy and weather tight ( we had very strong winds & torrential rain but we were safe & cosy in the cabin). Stunning views and perfect for a walk to Bantham & lunch in the sloop inn! We definitely will return

We’ve stayed here a few times now and feel very much at home! A great locations, some fabulous walks to Bridford where you will find the Bridford Inn, which is very friendly and welcoming.

Shirley (and Roland) were very friendly and helpful. The place you stay is a separate little house. It is well arranged and very functional. Parking is easy and very close to the door. You don't need the TV, the ducks and chickens will provide entertainment. You get great views of the English countryside but the roads are very narrow.

We had an amazing stay at Hollycroft Barn, from the moment we arrived Tracey was so helpful, showed us around and made us feel at home, she even baked us a beautiful welcome cake! The barn is absolutely stunning, and so homely, we didn’t want to leave, the grounds are amazing, Tracey even brought down the lambs so we could bottle feed them! Fantastic host and fantastic property, would highly recommend and we will definitely be returning!

Thank you so much for an amazing stay. The barn was beautiful and spacious and perfect for socialising with friends or family. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here, our only gripe was that we wish we had booked longer!!

We had a very enjoyable stay at the Cider Barn. It was peaceful with beautiful views and we were lucky that the weather was good so we were able to make use of the pretty garden at the back. The house had a well equipped kitchen, a comfortable bed and a good shower. It was lovely to meet Sandra who was very friendly and the homemade oat cookies were delicious and much appreciated as were the eggs and milk. We would love to come and stay again in the future.

Thank you for a lovely stay. Lovely accomodation in a beautiful, peaceful setting. We enjoyed walks around the farm and we were joined by one of the hosts dogs a couple of times which we loved. We even managed to see an otter down at the river on our first night! Bird and hedgehog watching from the hot tub with a glass of bubbly… bliss.

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautifully presented property in fantastic surroundings. The house was extremely well presented with great facilities and a beautiful garden to relax in. We enjoyed exploring the beautiful coastline and had a delicious meal at the local Rise and crown. We would love to stay again.

Ian’s place is great. The surrounding area and immediate vicinity are picturesque. The cottage is warm and homely. Ian’s dedication to making your feel comfortable is very welcome. Ian’s level of organisation, in particular, is outstanding; his guidebook covers everything you can think of and more - military precision. 10/10 recommend!
