• "What a truly amazing property, it was spotless and really stunning."

  Our host was so welcoming and explained everything so well, she left a short guide which contained all relevant information, we arrived to a bowl of fresh fruit, milk, tea and coffee. The property is set on a working farm, our children enjoyed watching the horses and spotting tractors, it is so peaceful and countryside for miles. We had such a great week here, I can’t fault anything and would highly recommend for families or friends.

• "Cottage is stunning."

  Outstanding facilities and fully equipped with highest quality fixtures and fittings. Deidre the host communicates with such passion and is available when required for advice. Lovely centre for our holiday and made the week special.

  Mr Robert BlackburnAug 2024

• "A stunning spacious property, furnished to the highest standard and fully equipped with everything that was needed for a perfect family holiday."

  The pretty garden was enclosed and safe for our dog to run around and there was plenty of space in the house for our family of 5 (including the dog). The location was rural/peaceful (with the occasional tractor going by as this is situated on a working farm), excellent for exploring South Devon and crossing over to Cornwall. A wonderful stay at Cider Barn.

  Jackie KnightJul 2024

• "Thank you and what a truly wonderful Barn."

  We loved our stay despite the weather. The barn was so spacious and beautifully presented. The towels were luxurious and all those thoughtfyl little extra essentials provided, which we were not expecting, like salt and pepper mills, the amazing fruit bowl, milk in the fridge and some fizz too. We were truly spoilt. The view was fabulous and walks with the dog wonderful. We will be booking again!

  Mrs Alison LadymanMay 2024

• "An exceptional property which we loved staying in."

  Beautiful and very spacious bedrooms and bathrooms with very comfortable beds with high quality linen. Spacious and lovely living area and everywhere was spotlessly clean. Situated on a farm and close to some great pub restaurants and within easy access to picturesque places like Dartmouth,Salcombe and Looe. Deirdre is a lovely host who made us feel very welcome. I have stayed in a lot of holiday homes and this was the best I’ve ever stayed in. I’d like to return in Summer time and enjoy the properties lovely garden. Thank you Deirdre for allowing us to use your beautiful house.

  Deirdre is such a lovely lady and nothing was too much trouble. when we arrived there was wine/milk in the fridge and on the table a beautiful bowl of fresh fruit. even though our week of weather was pretty awful we had a fabulous stay and would like to thank Deirdre for letting us share her AMAZING BARN with us.

  Hi all Just had a fab week at the cider barn from when we arrived and was meet buy the owner deirdre who showed us around the barn and also left us a massive bowl of fruit and and a bottle of prosecco The pictures don't do it justice Good quality fixtures and fittings its massive from the rooms and kitchen to the extra large bedrooms everything we needed was on there for us to use To say its on farm it was very quiet loved it will be going back 5***** THANKYOU

  Mr Paul GrayshonOct 2023

• "We received a lovely welcome from Deirdre."

  A huge fruit bowl and a bottle of Prosecco was on the kitchen table. The house was warm and spotlessly clean, lovely and spacious. The kitchen had everything we needed for our stay. All cutlery, china, utensils etc were clean. Bathrooms were beautifully presented and had fluffy white towels. So many bathrooms are a little grubby on inspection but the 3 en-suites were super. The underfloor heating was great. Always had hot water for the shower. Beds were so comfortable and had lovely warm duvets and looked new. The conservatory was lovely to sit in and enjoy the sunshine. Warm on cooler days. The barn is obviously very well looked after. It makes a change to find somewhere that really is clean and well presented. We heard owls and saw pheasants and enjoyed watching the calves in the field behind. It was lovely to be in such a lovely quiet rural area where it is also dark at night. Walks from the barn to the beach were enjoyed. A lovely relaxing break for our family.

  Mr David HopkinSep 2023

• "We stayed at The Cider Barn 24th August to 1st September."

  We are a family of six plus a small dog and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was lovely and the pictures online very accurate. It was spotlessly clean, spacious and very well equipped. The views and walks were fantastic. Dierdrie the owner very welcoming and hospitable. We would highly recommend.

  Mrs Ann SharplesAug 2023

• "Absolutely outstanding property, we've loved every minute of our stay, there is an iron and ironing board available, the listing doesn't state this."

  It's in close proximity to the centre of Plymouth. The owner is amazing, we had a slight problem with the bath but she had it fixed immediately. Can't fault anything, I hope too be back someday

  Ms Sarah AmeryAug 2023

• "Since my partner Caroline got her Guide Dog Jack we have taken to staying in this country for holidays and have stayed in quite a few different properties via Sykes and Airbnb, and I can easily say this is the best one."

  It is so quiet and peaceful with loads of space for 3 couples and dogs. No expense has been spared on the decor and facilities, if it’s not in this barn you don’t need it. The owner Deidre is one of the nicest and friendliest person you could meet. Thanks Deidre for everything Kind Regards Wayne Mr Wayne Brookes

  Mr Wayne BrookesJun 2023

• "This is the best holiday barn/cottage we have ever rented, and we have rented many."

  The quality of the accommodation is first class, extremely spacious downstairs, with effectively three lounge areas, and three beautiful bedrooms with en suites to rival the best hotels. The kitchen is very large and fitted with top quality appliances, as is the utility room. It is co located with a farm, which has very little activity, so it doesn't disturb your stay, and it's down a lane, so its about as peaceful as you can get, with stunning views across the countryside. The owner Deidre lives alongside the barn, and made us very welcome. There was a huge bowl of fresh fruit and a bottle of Prosecco waiting on the kitchen table. You could not better this accommodation, highly recommended.

  Mr Peter FugeMay 2023

• "Our stay at the Cider Barn was an absolute delight."

  The accommodation, space and comfort were first class. Two lounges, two television sets, DVD player, radio, wi-fi, plenty of USB ports, huge induction oven, microwave, fridge/freezer and more than enough crockery, cutlery and glasses. Immaculate bathrooms along with extremely comfortable bedrooms. Bottle of fizz and wonderful bowl of fruit to welcome us. Immersed in the country with easy access to Dartmoor, Plymouth and the South Devon coast. Extremely considerate host who deserves a five star rating( or even more). Thank you for helping to make our week so memorable.

  Mr Michael GriffinApr 2023

• "This property exceeded our expectations."

  It was perfect. Well equipped, spotless, beautifully appointed, really a home from home. Plenty of living space so you could curl up with a book in one room and family could play board games in another. Great walks locally & nearby and on rainy days plenty of entertainment options in Plymouth, we enjoyed indoor golf, escape rooms….. There are two very nice pubs nearby, staff lovely and food very good. No disturbance from the farm on our stay, we enjoyed seeing the cows being fed and the local wildlife, hedgehogs and pheasants, also lucky to see Peregrine Falcons on Sustrans 27 cycle route. Memorable stay in a beautiful home, in a lovely location. Thankful to the owner who was a delightful lady, for creating this lovely holiday let.

  Mrs Elaine StreetinApr 2023

• "We have had many cottage holidays, but must say this one was amazing and of such high quality and very quiet."

  Will definitely be back

  Mrs Elizabeth WiltonMar 2023

• "A beautiful well maintained barn conversion situated in a quiet location on Home Farm."

  Cosy and warm even if the weather isn't kind. Deidre gave us a warm welcome and was very helpful during our stay. Wembury beach and Heybrook Bay close by, coastal path and Erm-Plym trail are easily accessible for those who enjoy their walks. There are 2 good pubs nearby. We would love to return and thoroughly recommend The Cider Barn.

  Dr Terence TarrMar 2023

• "The Cider Barn provided an excellent holiday retreat for us Essex ladies - we could not have wished for more!"

  You have thought of everything Deirdre & this reflected in the comfort warmth & cleanliness throughout this stunning property - indeed better than home-from-home in some ways! We would happily return in Spring Summer Autumn or even Winter so we hope to see you again! Well done & such a credit to you

  Mrs June EasonNov 2022

• "Had a fantastic week at the Cider Barn."

  The property really felt homely as soon as we arrived with absolutely everything you could possibly need ...there was even a welcome fruit basket & bottle of Prosecco! Beautiful views, horses in the fields opposite and lots of pheasants. The beach wasn't too far to walk too and there were some lovely walks along the coast. Highly recommend a stay here.

  Mrs Helen BlackleyNov 2022

• "An absolutely stunning property, well equipped and with beautiful views of the countryside."

  Deidre, the owner, was very welcoming. Thank you for the fruit and wine which was a lovely touch. We can’t wait to come back!

  Mrs Julia DandoOct 2022

• "Highly reccomend this property!"

  Great location, lovely host. Everything you might need is provided to a very high standard. Hard floors were excellent Mr Tony Edenfor fluff emitting labradors. Definitely going to return!

  Mr Tony EdenOct 2022

• "We had a wonderful week at The Cider Barn which is a stunning property with everything you need for your stay."

  We've been booking with Sykes for a number of years and this is by far the best property we've stayed in. Deidre was very welcoming and the bowl of fruit and Prosecco were a lovely touch. The property is so spacious and the finishing touches are of such high quality. Spending the evenings with a glass of wine looking out at the ample garden where our dog and the kids could play was the perfect end to every day. Can't recommend this property highly enough!

  Mr Matthew LandmanAug 2022

• "We all had a wonderful stay, the accommodation was first rate."

  It was in a beautiful setting and would recommend it to anyone wanting a peaceful bit of luxury in a lovely part of the country.

  Mrs Ellen RotheryJul 2022

  Mrs Nicky HampshireJun 2022

• "We had a very enjoyable stay at the cider Barn recently."

  .each room is spacious & comfortable..Deidre the owner has made the barn homely & inviting. We especially liked the "Garden Room" upstairs overlooking the lovely garden with trees,shrubs,flowers & birds. Swift's to the front quite amusing..saw a woodpecker clinging to the old barn ☺️ a couple of pheasants seem to be resident there Ha! We highly recommend this lovely holiday home in Beautiful Devon..looking forward to next year. Kind Regards from us all. Chris & Marion & Catherine

  Mrs Marion EasonMay 2022

• "Beautiful spacious house , which was very well equipped with everything you need ."

  Lovely walks round the grounds and close to several coastal walks . The owners was very friendly and provided a lovely fruit selection and Prosecco. Really enjoyed it and would definitely love to go back , highly recommend .

  Ms Anna LockyerMay 2022

• "If there was a 10plus for scoring this most certainly would have been scored higher than the 10 This has to be the best quality holiday rental we have ever had."

  The cottage is in a beautiful location, its peaceful and restful with lots of space if you need time alone to relax. We (six of us) had a lovely week away in this cottage and never got under each others feet. The quality of furniture and beds are amazing and we all slept really well, the two lounges and snug had very comfortable sofas. The kitchen was so well equipped and had a great seating area made lovely family meal times, lovely inclosed garden which was so peaceful. There are some beautiful walks around the area as well as the beach, your in a great location to get anywhere.

  Mrs Nicola BallardMay 2022

• "Charming and comfortable property which is very well equipped, exceptionally clean and has everything you need and more."

  The garden is gorgeous and private and our toddler grandson enjoyed seeing the cows and the tractor pass every day. The views are amazing. The owner is very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed exploring the area and there is a lot to do including some very nice pubs within a short drive.

  Mrs Susan KingMar 2022

• "The property was in a stunning area and extremely clean throughout."

  The furnishings were of a very good standard as was the general inventory of items. Beds very comfortable. Lovely and quiet, plenty of bird life, and it was a pleasure to see so many stars at night and see a bat flying around. Would definitely return.

  Mr Geoffrey BroomMar 2022

• "A beautiful property finished to a high standard with great attention to detail."

  Everything we needed was there. We were made to feel very welcome from the minute we arrived. The safe enclosed garden a real bonus with a lively springer spaniel.

  Mrs Kathryn KeyMar 2022

• "This property is simply stunning."

  Spotlessly clean, it’s huge, so warm and comfortable. Don’t think I have ever stayed in such wonderful holiday accommodation. The owner is such a lovely lady, who makes you feel very welcome , if you book this house you will be delighted with your choice

  Mrs R DochertyFeb 2022

• "What a stunning property in a beautiful setting."

  The Cider Barn is warm, comfortable, equipped to a very high standard with very comfy beds, good quality bedding and superb HUGE fluffy towels. The furnishings are all comfortable and practically new. Tasteful decor, well thought out design, spotlessly clean....we didn’t want to leave! Even little touches like tissues and hand wash provided made such a difference. Deirdre is so welcoming and helpful too. Ideally placed to explore Devon and Cornwall - we covered Dartmouth and Dartmoor area plus both the South and North Cornish coasts and Bodmin Moor. Polzeath is only 1.5 hrs away. I can not recommend this place highly enough and believe it is greatly underpriced for the standard of accommodation offered. Well done Deirdre you have created a gem!

  Mr Timothy WarrenDec 2021

• "A Great property with lots of space, very comfortable and quiet we really enjoyed our stay and we would go back again."

  The owner was lovely and helpful and very approachable and respected our privacy.

  Ms Cheryl RileyNov 2021

• "An absolutely beautiful property."

  Very spacious and well equipped with stunning views from every window and a very well kept generous garden. It was really interesting to learn about the history of the barn and nice that they’d turned the well into a feature. An extremely comfortable property with everything you need. The under floor heating was definitely a luxury that everyone enjoyed (including the dog).

  Miss Alison SmithOct 2021

• "Wow what a fantastic property."

  Large, spacious, ultra clean and fresh. All modern amenities in an old historic barn. Lovely welcome hamper with excellent wine too, thank you. Situated on the quietest working farm known to man in Devon's lovely rolling countryside. A shortish, 1 mile, walk to the local beach and coastal walks down a steep country lane, very invigorating early morning. Local pubs offer excellent ales and fantastic foods and amazing staff. This cottage has to be sampled to be truly appreciated. Thank you Deidre for a fantastic week in your lovely Cider Barn and your lovely Devon County. Definitely Highly Recommended.

  Mr Nigel BowlerOct 2021

• "Beautifully kept property in a lovely location."

  Host Deidre made you feel very welcome and provided a lovely welcome basket of fruit, wine and coffee. The Cider Barn is warm, comfortable and very quiet with stunning views despite being a working farm. You are spoilt for choice as to which room to sit and relax in but whichever room you choose you can guarantee you will be comfortable. There is absolutely everything you need to self cater with, a true home from home. Loved the Barn, just wish we could have stayed longer so will be making a return visit at some point.

  Mr Kevin PoleOct 2021

• "The Cider Barn is a beautiful property."

  The rooms are spacious and furnished to a standard that goes far beyond the average holiday home. The attention to detail is astonishing. Arriving at the property was a jaw-dropping experience and it quickly became a place you looked forward to getting back to after a day out. The beds have oh-so-comfy mattresses and the bed linen is cool and crisp. Towels are fluffy and generous. With each bedroom having its own bathroom, you feel just as though you are having a country house hotel break. The kitchen has a huge table where everyone can gather for meals or simply sit talking, drinking, playing games. A lot of thought has been put into providing all of the equipment you could possibly need to whip up a tasty meal for your guests. And then there are two separate living rooms, both with TVs, so there’s no need for squabbling about what to watch. Our favourite was the delightful room with the log burner- complete with a basket of logs. We all enjoyed relaxing there. I could go on and on about this property. It delivers on every count. And I haven’t even mentioned the surprise space at the top of the stairs which has yet more sofas and a view of the enclosed garden. This was my favourite go-to with a mug of coffee and a good book. We had a fabulous week in this lovely environment, walking to the beach, visiting local hostelries and exploring Plymouth. A huge thank you to the owners for a wonderful stay. You are sharing something very special with all of your guests. Julia S, October 2021

  Mrs Julia SandyOct 2021

• "An absolutely stunning and spacious property, in the most beautiful and peaceful location."

  The Cider Barn was very well equipped, immaculately clean and very tastefully decorated. Some lovely beaches nearby, a nice pub in Down Thomas serving great food and also close enough to visit parts of Cornwall too. Deirdre is a very kind and helpful host and we enjoyed learning some of the history of the property and local area, our daughter loved her daily walk to visit the farm animals too! One of the best properties we have ever stayed at and we will be back!

  Ms Helen WalkerAug 2021

• "This is a lovely property."

  It has been done to a high standard, is lovely and spacious and in a great spot. The view out over the fields as the sun rises is absolutely gorgeous. Very peaceful and would thoroughly recommend.

  Mr Christopher JayMay 2021

• "Probably one of the nicest holiday homes we have stayed in."

  Exceptional quality and comfort. Deidre was so welcoming & the fruit bowl & bottles of wine were a lovely and welcome gesture. Lovely walks straight out of the door down to the beach and fortunately we were blessed with lovely weather. A fantastic place to escape the madness of the world we’re living in at the moment. Would highly recommend The Cider Barn.

  Such a beautiful Barn with everything you could possibly need. Spotlessly clean. We had a wonderful time and plenty of restaurants to visit which served amazing food. Hope to visit again in the future. The owner Deirdre is so welcoming and friendly. Would highly recommend

  Mrs Sarah WesternSep 2020

• "Wonderful house and garden, excellent facilities."

  Lovely countryside walks from the door. For the more energetic beaches can be reached within a couple of miles but be prepared for the hills. Would certainly return.

  Mrs Linda TurnerAug 2020

• "What a wonderful barn, we all had a fantastic time."

  The barn was spotlessly clean and every measure had been taken to ensure it was Covid safe - thank you. It has a lovely enclosed garden which is perfect for chilling in and a fab garden room to watch the world pass by. There are loads of walks straight from the door. On Thursday evening there is a local show a short walk away, lovely cakes and homemade burgers etc... everyone is so friendly. A special mention to Deidre who is just lovely and helpful. The brochure doesn’t do this accommodation justice- it’s just perfect.

  Mr Paul Boughton-clarkJul 2020

• "The location was quiet and peaceful surrounded by beautiful countryside ,but two beaches only a few miles away."

  At the local pub the food was really good and well priced.The house is amazing.So clean and perfect we thought it had just been built.We have been to a lot of properties but this surpassed anything we have ever been to.The two bottles of wine were a pleasant surprise.Deirdre the owner is lovely and was very friendly and showed us around and then let us get on with our holiday.We will return in the summer , for longer next time thou.
