• "We loved our week at Mill Barn."

  From our first view of the very elegant safety lighting on the stairs to exploring the Games Barn and Orchard, our experience was excellent. We loved the clean lines and spacious accommodation. It is beautiful; such a high standard of workmanship on this barn conversion. There was plenty of storage in the kitchen and every bedroom. There is even a drinks fridge! The instructions were comprehensive on everything from the heating to the parking, thank you. We appreciated the two upstairs dishwashers, very useful. The downstairs kitchen/utility must be so handy in the summer. On our first evening we had an issue with a tap which was fixed very promptly after phoning the owners. They also fitted stair gates when asked. Each family brought their favourite games and DVDs - there were a few games & jigsaws provided. We can thoroughly recommend Mill Barn for a multi generation holiday. There were tears from the youngest members of the family when we had to leave. We all had a magical holiday.

• "A lovely week at Mill Barn with family and the dog."

  The barn was really lovely and so spacious. Kitchen was great and had all the facilities you need and some! Huge table where we could all eat together. Lovely added touch having stair gates, high chair and cot for our grand-daughter. Bedrooms all with lovely clean linen and plenty of towels on arrive. Upstairs bedroom with en-suite bathroom with bath was amazing and very relaxing. Plenty of folders with information about where to visit, also puzzles and games. The orchard was fantastic for the dog to run freely in and the barn with snooker, table tennis and darts was definitely a hit with everyone. Lots of fun and laughter. Plenty of parking too. Mill barn is so close to places to visit and we enjoyed our walks and exploring Devon. This truly is a beautiful well equipped barn in the most perfect surroundings. I would highly recommend a visit. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay x

• "Mill Barn was a fantastic choice for a large family get away!"

  Location and access: Beautiful views and lovely quiet countryside, easily accessible as just a short single lane from the main road to salcombe. only 5 minutes to the sea! Facilities: Everything a large group needs for a holiday. multiple bedrooms with great bathrooms, a very large kitchen with all utilitys and utensils and secondary kitchen downstairs. A huge dining table and large open living room. The addition of a games room was great with skittles, darts, pool and ping pong. If you are planning a large gathering this is definitely worth booking

• "Beautiful property with excellent facilities and more than enough crockery, pots and pans etc… everything was to a very high standard."

  The only complaint we’d have would be that the WiFi didn’t reach all the bedrooms - only reliable in the main living area and no signal for using our own phone data. It was really useful to have the boot room for shoes and coats and plenty of bathrooms with there being a lot of us and including small children! Stair gates, cot and high chair were all helpful to have included and the property was suitable for babies and young children . There were lovely beaches within a 15 minute drive at Hope Cove and South Milton Sands but be prepared for very narrow country lanes! Thank you for a lovely stay.

  The games barn was fantastic especially when the weather conditions were poor. Beds were very comfortable, the kitchen well equipped and everywhere was spotlessly clean. We had an issue with one of the dishwashers during our stay which was dealt with promptly by the owners.

• "Mill Barn was absolutely perfect for our big family gathering."

  The owners were extremely accommodating and helpful. The barn is equipped to an excellent standard and felt really spacious even though there was 12 of us. All of the bathrooms were to a high standard and it was brilliant to have so many so them. The weather was lovely and we went out a lot but the only small thing to note for the listing was that the TV has basic Sky but did not have other streaming services and had we known, we would have bought our own fire stick. We are back at Mill Barn later in the year!

  Thank you for your feedback which we always welcome and we are delighted to hear that you will be returning next year. I am sorry that you had no seen before you came that the property offers Sky only. Property Owner

• "We booked accommodation for Xmas week and it met our expectations."

  There was plenty of room in a spacious lounge and kitchen area. The bedrooms were comfortable and some had en suite faculities. Perhaps the provision of a "Welcome Pack" of basic provisions would have been helpful, as the supermarkets are a little distance away. The games room is well equipped, but a short walk outside of the property. Overall, this is a lovely place for a large family group.

  We appreciated the quick response to our queries. Outstanding kitchen facilities with two sinks, two bins and two dishwashers which made life so much easier plus an additional kitchen facility downstairs enabling our furry friends to be catered for separately.

  The owners were there if needed but not invasive at all. The area is beautiful and everything seemed 10 minutes away! The games room is an added bonus. All the bedrooms were spacious. Absolutely everything you need was in the property and fully stocked with crockery, utensils etc. Would highly recommend ocean view restaurant, and a trip to south Milton sands, a dog off lead friendly beach and then a visit to the beach shack at the top of the beach for lunch. All in all nothing could have been improved apart from maybe the weather at times!!

  The house is very well equipped and had everything we required. It is light and spacious, warm and with plenty of hot water. The rooms were comfortable, clean and had plenty of towels. The owners were charming, welcoming and very helpful and very kindly rigged a double bed in the Games Room in lieu of the bunk beds (not suitable for our age group). Mill Barn is well situated for the towns of Kingsbridge and Salcombe, and there are masses of walks to choose from within a short drive. Altogether, Mill Barn is a lovely property and we would strongly recommend it. We will come back again.

• "Great place for a family gathering, cleanliness was brilliant, baby stair gate, cot available."

  Pet friendly in most of the barn but not allowed in bedrooms, we ended up not taking pets which was the best idea. No tv signal in the bedrooms which the other adults and children moaned about. We did have large tv in lounge which had sky tv. The barn play room was a great addition, ideal that we had brilliant weather to walk to it. A few extra bits like a few toiletries and some coffee pods for the machine would have been welcomed. The hoover smelt quite bad from dog. Such a lovely peaceful place to stay we really enjoyed the space and us all being able to get together as we are quite a large family. We did get an hour later to check out as 9am is very early to get 5 children ready and out the door. Would definitely book again.

  Thank you for the feedback. We have asked our changeover team to ensure that hoover bags/filters are checked each changeover and changed as necessary to prevent odours. The TV signal issue in the bedrooms has been fixed – apologies for this. The outgoing guests had reported the issue, which we were grateful for, however, unfortunately the engineer couldn’t attend until the Monday, so after your weekend break. We’re pleased that you would definitely book Mill Barn again. Property Owner

Beautiful location would recommend visiting hope cove and the beach and north sands and east portlemouth ( accessed by short ferry ride) almost had beaches to ourselves. Enjoyed the walks to Gara Rock and bolt head. So many lovely places to eat.

• "What you see is what you get re this property."

  The photos are true. An excellent place to stay. Our experience: Follow the instructions to the property that are sent to you with the booking as it will avoid you taking some very narrow lanes. Great parking at the property. Loading and unloading outside the property is easy. The property is immaculate and the owners are on hand to help and advise should you need it. The family are very friendly and live next door. The provision of kitchenware and ovenware is first class. It's so easy to cook indoors and host guests, also the barn layout upstairs works really well for big groups. Three dishwashers and 2 kitchens in the property work well; all the bathrooms are first class. It is warm in the property even without the log burner. Bedrooms downstairs are quiet to sleep in. We didn't get much use out of the games room as it's across the road, but I imagine with small children playing in the field across the road and dogs if you have them, it would be a good place to go particularly in summer. To be honest we couldn't fault this property. Pre book taxis if you need them and restaurants too. Read the information book in the property for ideas of places to go. Take good supplies of food and drink with you and you will have a great time. Date of Stay: February 2019
