Lingcombe Barn

Hi Nigel Thank you for your kind review and your useful feedback ref the duvet. We now have a summer duvet at the barn for use during the warmer months.

Hello Thank you for your second 5 star review. We are so pleased you loved it as much as your first visit. We certainly hope to have you back a third time! Many thanks and best wishes. Sarah

Hello Thank you for your review. We are pleased you found the interior of the cottage to be excellent. Its location on Dartmoor is remote (that’s the beauty of it) and lanes throughout Dartmoor and indeed, a lot of Devon are very narrow with limited passing places. That is the nature of rural Devon! Unfortunately, as the rest of the country know we also suffer from lack of council funding for repair of potholes. Unfortunately this is a common problem throughout the UK in all rural areas. With regard to the ‘building site’ the blue car is parked opposite our barn as our neighbour owns that land. However his farm house is much further down the track so I’m a little unsure as to why you felt overlooked. We also have a wall around the front of the barn (remnants of the old pig stye wall) so again there is a buffer. Our neighbour does unfortunately still have building work to complete, but again generally this is not in view when you are sat down in the cottage or even at the front. The main seating is also at the back of the barn with scenic views across the moor and up into the fields where the ponies and sheep graze. Apart from the odd hiker you cannot be overlooked here. The cottage is glorious and the location is superb but our neighbour is still finishing off his property. The price I believe does reflect this as the barn is very unique with such amazing access onto the moor. Hopefully we may see you return once our neighbour has finished all his work. With best wishes. Mike and Sarah

Hello Thank you for your 5 star review. We are pleased you liked and found the cottage so comfortable and also that you loved the location. It is situated in a beautiful part of Dartmoor with numerous footpaths close by. Unfortunately the pot holes do keep reappearing from time to time but unfortunately I think this is a general state of rural Britain and not just confined to Dartmoor. Thank you again and hopefully you will return again. With best wishes Mike and Sarah

Dear Guest Thank you for your 5 star review. We were pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay although it was a shame it coincided with Storm Bram hitting the South West and the Dartmoor area. Unfortunately a tree coming down took out the wifi (which you were aware of prior to your stay and had options regarding to change the dates etc). The WiFi was back working for you although any delay was due to BT's haphazard repair programme rather than the remoteness of the cottage. The lane which continues on to Hurston (past our track) can get wet but we drive a Kia Nero and we arrived the day you left with no issues. Our neighbour who lives further down the lane has her daughter visit daily in her Skoda Fabia and had no issues during that week. Sometimes the water looks maybe worse than it actually is and when you are not used to the surroundings makes it hard to guage the level of the standing water. However you obviously enjoyed your stay and you said you liked the barn so please do return when the weather is a little less wild with a little more sunshine. With best wishes. Mike and Sarah

Thank you for your 5 star review and so pleased you had such a comfortable and enjoyable stay. We would certainly welcome you back to stay again. With best wishes. Mike and Sarah

Thank you for your 5 star review and we are pleased you found the Barn so comfortable. It is in such a glorious location and with amazing walks out onto the moors from the doorstep. We would certainly welcome you back to stay again. With best wishes. Mike and Sarah

Thank you for your 5 star review. We are very pleased you liked the Barn so much and had a lovely time. Chagford is such a lovely town with some great pubs and independent shops. We love the town and there’s always something going on. It is a lovely walk into Chagford or a short drive. We would welcome you back to stay again. With best wishes. Mike and Sarah

Thank you for your excellent 5 star review. We are so pleased you loved the cottage and the surrounding area. It is a special place with access to such beautiful walks, scenery and wildlife. We would be very happy to welcome you back to stay again. Best wishes Mike and Sarah

Hi Emma Thank you very much for your 5 star review and lovely comments. You are absolutely right - it is a truly special place to have such access to the moors and being in such beautiful countryside. We absolutely love it ourselves. Hopefully you will be able to return soon. Best wishes. Sarah and Mike

Hi Jane Many thanks for your 5 star review. The Barn is lovely and the location perfect for getting away from it all and walking up on the open moors. We absolutely love it. Just to confirm we do have wifi in the cottage and we have actually said no children/babies I’m afraid. For couples or a single person it is truly getting back to nature. We would welcome you back to visit again. With best wishes. Sarah and Mike

Dear Mr Westwood. Thank you for your review and we were pleased you liked Lingcombe Barn. Our neighbour is still having some building work done and I suspect that was the builders van which is parked there when he is working. All our land lies at the back of the barn so still plenty of space and seating to enjoy the best views of the moors. With best wishes. Mike and Sarah

Dear Mr Henry Thank you for your excellent review. The property is stunning and the location perfect for walking and exploring Dartmoor. Your feedback is useful about the washing machine. We did plan to put one in but then felt wondered if people would actually use it as many people stay for short breaks as well as a week. However, as the cottage would also be a great place to visit in the Winter as it has a cosy log burner I could see walkers would benefit from a washing machine particularly if they had got wet and muddy. We will reconsider and see what we can organize for the future. Thank you and best wishes. Sarah and Mike

Hi Melanie Thank you for your excellent review and we are very pleased you enjoyed your stay at Lingcombe Barn. Thank you for your understanding as well with the Wifi issues which fortunately were resolved the day after you arrived having been hit by a huge thunderstorm a few days before! Driving to the property currently is a little complicated as the normal road you would drive down is closed due to gas works but it will be open again in April. Once the normal road is open again, finding the property is a lot easier and the lanes accessing it, in better shape. Once again, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay. The Barn is indeed in a truly beautiful part of Dartmoor.

Hi Paul Thank you for your excellent review. We are very pleased you loved our Barn and obviously really enjoyed your Christmas there. It is an amazing place in such a glorious location which is why we love it there as well. We would certainly welcome you back to stay again. With best wishes. Mike and Sarah

Hi Edmund Thank you for your 5 star review. We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay and enjoyed the amazing walking from the Barn and also further afield. I think you had fairly wet and windy weather but we are pleased you found the cottage cosy and comfortable from the comments made in the visitor book. We would be very happy to welcome you back to stay on another occasion. With best wishes. Sarah and Mike

Hi Simon Thank you very much for your 5 star review and so pleased you liked the cottage. The walking is excellent from the Barn and we are very lucky that the Two Moors Way/Mariners Way literally passes outside our door. There are some great places to walk to such as Castle Drogo NT, Grimspound and the well known Warren House Inn. We would welcome you back to stay again. With best wishes. Sarah and Mike

Hi Wyn Thank you for your excellent review and so pleased you liked the barn and enjoyed your stay. Yes we do provide the down pillows and duvet as they provide such a soft and luxurious feel - it sounds like you managed okay which I am pleased about. Thank you again and hopefully you will return for another visit sometime. With best wishes Sarah and Mike

Hi Leisha Thank you for your 5 star review and so pleased you liked the cottage and would recommend it. It is in such a gorgeous spot. Hopefully you will come and stay again. With best wishes. Mike and Sarah

Dear Melissa Thank you so much for your 5 star review and we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Lingcombe Barn. It is a very special place and although the access is a little remote it is in such a wonderful location for visiting Dartmoor. We hope you may return for another holiday sometime. With best wishes.
