• "An exceptional property in a perfect location."

  Equipped with everything you could possibly think of, beautiful furnishings, amazing kitchen, gorgeous bedrooms with very comfortable beds and hot powerful showers. Immaculately clean throughout. The finishing touches of fresh flowers on the table and bedrooms, homemade cake and scones and the table set on arrival made it feel a real home from home. Dogs are also made very welcome with their own sofa and a basket of towels. Thank you Gail and Phil for making us feel so welcome. We had an amazing holiday and wish we could have stayed longer. We would love to come back another year.

• "One of the best cottages we have ever stayed in."

  Well equipped and very comfortable with loads of space for a large group. Impressed with how well it was stocked with the basics, like washing powder etc, as well. Before we arrived we were sent a great booklet that told you all about the property and the surrounding area so we hit the ground running. The host also kept in touch at every stage to ensure we had the best holiday experience. Will definitely go back when we next visit Devon.

• "We recently spent a fantastic week at Butterwell Barns in Dartmouth, and it was truly a luxurious escape."

  The barn itself was stunning—beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, and equipped with every amenity we could possibly need. The attention to detail was remarkable, making our stay comfortable and stress-free. The outdoor area was a highlight, offering lovely views over the picturesque countryside. We made the most of the BBQ and fire pit, spending our evenings toasting marshmallows and soaking in the serene surroundings. Our dog was also in heaven, enjoying the fully enclosed outdoor space without a care in the world—this place is incredibly dog-friendly! The location was perfect, just a short distance from the Dartmouth ring and ride, making it easy to explore the area. On arrival, we were delighted to find a generous welcome package waiting for us, complete with fresh eggs, jam, homemade scones, and a delicious lemon drizzle cake that we couldn't get enough of. Throughout our stay, we felt wonderfully supported by the owner, Gail, who checked in to ensure everything was going smoothly. Her warmth and hospitality added a personal touch that made our experience even more special. In short, Butterwell Barns provided a perfect family getaway. Every member of our group, including our furry friend, had an unforgettable time. We can't wait to return!

• "Three generation holiday and a dog."

  Quiet and peaceful location. Exceptional accommodation, the best of the many barn conversions in which we have stayed. Barn is a quality build with fixtures, fittings and furnishings to match. Friendly and helpful owners. More detailed feedback apparently on TripAdvisor from my son-in-law! Highly recommended.

  The property was gorgeous, spacious and equipped with absolutely everything we would need for a week and more. It was a great base to explore the local areas (by car) and a wonderful place to relax after a day if activities/sight seeing. The owners were so welcoming and small touches like the chocolate cake, scones etc. on our arrival, were as delicious as they were thoughtful. I highly recommend this property. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves staying there.

• "We had a wonderful time with friends and their dog at Butterwell Barn for a week."

  The attention to detail is outstanding and the barn was perfect for us! We only used the two larger bedrooms but as these were identical there was no need to decide who would get the 'best one'. The barn was fantastic, just a ten minute drive from Dartmouth and with stunning views over the countryside. We got to see the resident hare(s) more than once. Having the EV charger onsite was a real bonus too, and so easy to use. Gail had really thought of everything, even baking a delicious lemon drizzle cake and scones to welcome our arrival.

• "Gail was friendly and welcoming upon arrival."

  She gladly showed us around the property and explained how everything worked and where everything was. The property was immaculate and spotlessly clean, and all the finishing touches were completed to a very high standard, including a specially prepared Easter hamper and home made lemon drizzle cake that all went down a treat. Nothing was too much trouble for Gail and Phil throughout our stay, and they were extremely attentive to our needs. Butterwell Barn was a perfect retreat for all 9 of us (including our Greyhound), and provided us with everything we needed for the duration of our stay. Dartmouth Town Centre is a short drive away, and The Sportsman's Arms and local garden centre is only 5 minutes away by car in the opposite direction, where you can enjoy wonderful home cooked food and a selection of ales in the pub, or a hearty breakfast or afternoon Devon Tea in the garden centre. The only blot on our stay was the malfunctioning outdoor lights that prevented us from enjoying the fire pit to its fullest during the evenings, and made it somewhat difficult navigating the steps and outdoor areas in the dark of night. The recent wet weather caused the consumer unit to repeatedly trip, so outside lights were not working throughout our time at Butterwell Barn. An additional consideration would be the lack of a garden area for relaxing in during the summer months, or for children to play in, as the land surrounding the barn is predominantly stone, and the surrounding fields are farmland. That said, the facilities inside the barn, and the first class renovation made for a wonderful holiday for all in our party. Thanks Gail.

  It was our first visit and we knew, having read previous reviews, that it was a stylishly furnished, extremely comfortable, superbly equipped, and spotlessly clean holiday home, even so it exceeded our expectations.

  FAB-U-LOUS? Butterwell Barn was simply amazing , from the very start receiving an extremely warm welcome from Gail ( and delicious baked goodies ) to a heartfelt goodbye from Gail, Phil and their little doggie. We took advantage of everything this luxury Barn had to offer, family meals made together in the most wonderful kitchen with every gadget and gizmo you would expect to find in a professional kitchen, BBQs on the terrace , late night sun downers around the outdoor table and fire pit , gin cocktails mixed with the amazing selection of herbs in the garden was a delight ! The bedrooms ( all en-suite) were spotless , the beds very comfortable and the linen and towels top notch hotel grade. We booked Butterwell to spend time with our busy family and the open plan living made this a dream , movie nights , quiz nights , etc , quality time was made easy . Gail has left no stone unturned at Butterwell , this place has it all . If you expect high standards then this is a must for you and the family. Well done Gail & Phil !

• "Butterwell Barn provided everything we needed to ensure we experienced a lovely family holiday."

  It was surrounded by glorious countryside and located close to Darmouth with other nice places to visit fairly near by. The entrance to the property which is on a busy winding road needed to be more distinguishable as we passed it on several occasions when returning to it. On arrival, it was easier to spot the entrance as the owners kindly placed two red children's windmills locating the entrance and when they were removed, it was harder to judge ahead. This recommendation has been passed on to the owners. Must add, the actual property is set back down a lane so is very private and no concerns regarding any traffic. Due to not being able to get into the property until 5.00 p.m., we basically lost a good part of the day in the property, but appreciate COVID19 has an impact on cleaning the property. The owners did allow us to drop off our luggage which was greatly appreciated, but when you have perishable foods and travelling a good distance, it was a concern. I would therefore suggest a day 'down time' between bookings to enable families to arrive much earlier in the day to settle in and start their family holiday especially when you have very young children. We really appreciated the welcome basket which had fresh scones, eggs, jam, clotted cream and fruit juice and the owners were thoughtful enough to recognise a special birthday by leaving a card and a beautiful bouquet of flowers. This was a lovely thoughtful touch! We would definitely recommend visiting this property as overall, it ticked all our boxes. When the weather is sunny and warm, it is even nicer! Thank you!

• "We thought that Butterwell Barn was an exceptional property, we have stayed in many nice properties but this exceeded all our expectations."

  It looks good in the photos, but it’s even better in reality.. Gail was a very welcoming host, ready to explain every thing that we needed to know. The welcome cake and cream scones were a delicious surprise. The little extra’s such as flowers in every bedroom, also a beautiful bouquet in the main living area, to the ready supply of towels for the dog, all go to show what good hosts they are. We can’t recommend it highly enough, thanks for a lovely holiday.

• "Wow! We are a group of four couples who frequently book a holiday home together and Butterwell Barn is by far the best we have ever stayed in."

  The accommodation is spacious, very comfortable and the attention to detail shows how much the owners care. We like to cook and Gail and Phil provide everything you are likely to need in the kitchen, more than enough crockery, cutlery and glasses and plenty of space in which to work. The others could comfortably relax at the other end of the barn, chatting or watching TV. The bedrooms downstairs were very comfortable and with ample storage. The outside space looked great and in the warmer weather would be a big plus. Gail and Phil were great hosts and provided a welcome hamper which included a delicious homemade cake. They were extremely helpful and got the balance between leaving us to enjoy ourselves and being available just right. We thoroughly recommend booking Butterwell Barn and thank Gail and Phil for a brilliant holiday.

• "This property was outstanding, it was exceptionally clean and so fantastically maintained, we felt we were the first to stay here."

  There were so many little extras which made us feel welcome , for example the dog towels provided the shoe holders to dry out wet shoes, heated towel rails that worked and so many more. Gail gave us a splendid tour of the property showing us all the useful tips to make our stay more relaxing. The Dogs loved the big dog sofa and relaxing in front of the fire was amazing after a wet walk. Not to mention the complementary homemade cake and scones,jam and cream being a very welcome treat and a change from Turkey leftovers. Having a visit from the owners to check we were ok and offers of extra plates or cooking pans etc for the Christmas meal was a lovely idea, although we wanted for nothing the kitchen was very well equipped and the addition of the warming ovens was a god send. We had a fantastic time at this property and would go as far to say that it is the best out of the 6 we have stayed in over the last 6 Christmas breaks away as a larger group. Very impressed with the recycling system and very eco friendly.

• "Butterwell Barn has to be the best holiday cottage we’ve ever stayed in."

  The owners seem to have thought of everything and even left fresh scones, jam, cream and cake for us. We had a keen cook in our party of friends who absolutely loved the kitchen! The bedrooms and en suites are beautifully kitted out and extremely comfortable. We just couldn’t find fault with anything. Our only gripe was that we tried to book a return visit before we left and it’s already very booked up for next year!

  We were met with a warm welcome by the owners who were easily contacted if we needed anything throughout our stay.

• "Butterwell Barn was amazing."

  The location was ideal for us, as it gave us easy access to the places we wanted to visit. Gail & Phil were very welcoming hosts. On arrival we were greeted with homemade cakes and a cream tea, which after a 7 hour journey was much appreciated. The place was spotless and the space was much bigger than the photographs suggested. Everything about it was top notch. Gail and Phil had thought of everything you could possibly need but still wanted to know if things could be improved. For us it catered for all our needs. We will definitely return.

• "Our second consecutive visit to Butterwell Barn & it was as immaculate as ever."

  Gail is the perfect hostess ensuring our Sainsburys delivery is put away before our arrival as well as leaving a lovely welcome hamper full of delicious Devon produce. There has been no expense spared with regards to the fixtures & fittings of the barn. The location is perfect for getting quickly to the beaches, Dartmouth & other nearby villages. We have chosen to book Butterwell Barn again next year with our family & friends as having holidayed in numerous other high end rentals within the Dartmouth area and the barn remains our firm favourite. We feel very lucky to have found such a fabulous place to stay.

  Everything is thought of and the quality of everything is so high. I would say it’s the perfect place to chill, all of our group said how relaxed they felt at Butterwell Barn. Such a warm welcome from the owners and the cream tea was enjoyed by all. . It’s a handy place for places like Salcombe and the Dartmouth park and ride is a short drive down the road which is handy. There are a couple of supermarkets nearby. . I would definitely recommend Butterwell Barn and we hope to visit again.

  From furniture to china to bath towels, it was all top quality. There was everything you would ever need in the kitchen, plus extras such as eco friendly laundry liquid, dishwasher tablets, coffee, tea bags, milk, oil and if that wasn’t enough, fresh flowers, scones jam and cream and cake! Great outside space and garden area. All fully enclosed and secure for dogs/children. Gail and Phil Bond the owners, were around, very friendly and helpful. Sainsbury’s deliver there too which is convenient. All round excellent accommodation, just wish I could pick up the barn and bring it home as I could easily live there! Many thanks
