Nigel
It is very well situated for attractions at Brixham, Paignton and Torquay as well as places inland. The accommodation was very well equipped, very clean and in very good condition. With two bedrooms upstairs and one downstairs it was ideal for our party of four adults and two children.

It's spacious, immaculately clean, comfortable and with good facilities. Beautiful location with lovely views Our only minor complaint was that it was quite warm upstairs meaning the windows needed to be open consistently and this meant lots of flies. Although it would be unsightly it might be worth installing some sort of system, particularly during the warm weather, for killing them. Certainly a can of fly spray would be handy! But that's a minor matter and something that can't really be controlled The barn was a delightful location for a holiday and I would highly recommend it. Laurie was very friendly and helpful
