Christmas in the South Hams

Comfortable, warm, clean, spacious (for 2). We were there during a wet Christmas so didn't explore the farm land. Access is via narrow single track roads, very messy in winter. Laura is extremely helpful and welcoming.

Perfect base for exploring South Devon

Perfect location to travel to surrounding beaches and Kingsbridge and there are plenty of beaches to visit. Absolutely beautiful scenery within the local area. Property description slightly misleading though as could barely see the sea view! Small lanes to negotiate when traveling but always worth the journey. Property was well equipped, comfy beds and a good shower, sofa had a bit of a doggy smell! Advertised as having Wi-fi, then told on arrival it was very sketchy, barely worked for us.

Lovely rural and quiet retreat

This is a lovely barn conversion with everything you need for a self catering holiday. Away from the hustle and bustle of working life, suitable for those that don’t mind being away from shops and neighbours and just want peace and quiet. The cockerels and chickens outside each morning were also a gentle reminder that you are on a farm and were lovely. The barn is well equipped and comfortable, a home from home. Thankyou

Beautiful location, extremely comfortable and well equipped property.

We were doing a spot of house hunting in the area and The Stables made a great base for us. There were some nice welcoming treats upon our arrival, including some treats for our dog. Laura, the owner, was very friendly and helpful. The property is in a good position for exploring the South Hams area and there are lovely views and walks literally from the front door.It was enjoyable seeing the farm animals around the property, and there were some beautiful night skies to be seen. We had a busy couple of days but we felt immediately relaxed and comfortable when we returned to The Stables in the evenings. The place was cozy, spotlessly clean, and so well equipped that all you need to bring would be your clothes and toothbrush!

Idealer Ausganspunkt, um die Region zu entdecken

Wir hatten einen sehr entspannten Aufenthalt in der liebevoll und gemütlich eingerichteten Wohnung. Unsere Vermieter waren sehr freundlich und begrüßten uns mit einem Korb mit ausgewählten Produkten aus der Region, so dass wir an unserem ersten Morgen ein köstliches Frühstück genießen konnten. Die Wohnung liegt sehr ländlich und ruhig und man ist mit dem Auto ca. in 15 Minuten in Kingsbridge, auch sonst sind vielfältige Ausflugsziele gut zu erreichen. Wir empfehlen als Strand den wunderschön gelegenen Bantham Beach.

Spacious, comfortable & convenient

Laura was very welcoming (along with her dogs!). Lovely setting down country lane - a pleasure to come back to each evening. Having visited the South Hams area for about 40 years, we were able to enjoy familiar places: Kingsbridge, Torcross, Bigbury-on-Sea. The weather was good but staying for only 3 nights meant we weren't able to do more. We hope to return next year.
