  • "We enjoyed our third stay at Crosscombe Barn as much as ever."

    The light, airy sitting room and kitchen / diner, with wonderful countryside views, was the perfect place to relax. The central location provided easy access to all the best walks, beaches, farm shops and idyllic seaside towns of the South Hams. We hope to be back again soon!

  • "We are 4 adults doing the South West Coast Path and have stayed in numerous properties in the south west over the last four years."

    Crosscombe was the best equipped we have ever stayed in, it had everything you could possibly need. It felt like a real home from home. The only thing we struggled with was how to work the heating, which we needed after long days outside, often in the rain (October!) But once we figured that out, it was fine.

  • "Spacious and well equipped."

    The furniture were quite comfortable though the main sofas were quite itchy. The showers are not satisfactory; the one in the en-suite does not drain well so we didn’t use it. The screenshower in the main bathroom didn’t stop the water soaking the floor. The vent in the bathroom cannot cope with the amount of steam created by the shower. The toilet seat in the en-suite was not fixed well, rather loose. The beds are very soft and not at all good support for sleeping. The place itself was peaceful and quite easy to access. On the whole it was OK.

    Thank you for your feedback, I’m sorry you didn’t have a very good holiday and that the property was not satisfactory. We will endeavour to correct the issues mentioned. As you can see from the feedback from past guests they have enjoyed the barn. Property Owner

  • "This cottage is in a great location with many places to visit a short car journey away."

    It was one of the cleanest and well equipped cottages we have stayed in. Only thing that would have been a great help for us with a toddler would have been a high chair and stair gate as the property has the living room upstairs, we ended up taking our own high chair and placing two chairs in front of the stairs. Apart from that a great property and we would recommend it to anyone.

    Thank you so much for your lovely comments and we are very happy you enjoyed your stay at our barn. We always appreciate suggestions and will look into the possibility of stair gates and a high chair. Property Owner

    The views are spectacular, the kitchen well-equipped, the bedrooms comfortable and the lounge with its log-burner warm and cosy. The barn is beautiful, with plenty of space for our family of four, and perfectly placed for exploring the gorgeous scenery and beaches of the South Hams. We hope to be back soon!

  • "Crosscombe Barn is ideally situated for exploring South Hams with all its beautiful river estuaries and lovely beaches."

    There are several National Trust houses and woods nearby to explore and historic Plymouth is within easy reach. We particularly enjoyed a cruise on the Dart and discovering scenic Salcombe and quaint Totnes. The barn itself is spacious and very comfortably equipped with quality furniture and fittings, including a desk with lots of little extras. There is extensive kitchen and dining equipment and everything we could possibly want and more for a self catering holiday was provided. Overall, it is a warm and welcoming individual character home with plenty of room for 6 guests. The garden is a delightful sun trap and was full of late summer flowers during our visit. The provision of a small kitchen in the utility room was an added bonus - it is an upside down house so it saved the legs when making drinks and snacks. The village shop is well stocked but Kingsbridge is only 10 minutes away. We would recommend the local garden centre and farm shop for excellent lunches and a bit of browsing. The Avon valley is an excellent walking area with lots of wildlife. The barn is in a quiet corner of Loddiswell and so we had a very peaceful and restful stay. The views across the hills were a joy to view from the lounge window seat. We thoroughly recommend this property and thank the owners for their thoughtfulness.
