"We had a fabulous stay at Whistley Barn."
The setting is idyllic and the house is equipped with everything you could possibly want. Our dogs loved the large garden and the surrounding area and we loved the peaceful location. The house was spotlessly clean and everything was very comfortable. You are only a short drive from Dartmouth and Kingsbridge so never too far from shops and pubs and you are surrounded by a vast selection of coastal, forest and moorland walks. We highly recommend Whistley Barn.
We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and the beautiful Devon countryside. As you say, being close to Dartmouth etc is a real bonus with so many other nearby places of interest to visit. Thank you, we really appreciate such positive feedback and look forward to maybe seeing you again! Property Owner
