    “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 ...

    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.

About the location

DARTMOUTH

Totnes 12 miles.

Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart estuary in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the coast, Dartmouth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Devon. It offers a stunning waterfront, ancient narrow streets lined with boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries plus many local events such as the annual Dart Music Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, along with the Dartmouth Food Festival held every October. There are many interesting cycling and walking routes around Dartmouth, including the South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail and plenty of quiet country lanes. A trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway through picturesque countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat trip across to Kingswear and on to Brixham, a pretty little harbour town. For those seeking some beach activities, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blue Flag Award winner Blackpool Sands, and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular and just a stone's throw from Dartmouth. A relaxing location in South Devon.

Up to two well behaved dogs are accepted, but must be kept in the spacious first floor living area and are not permitted in bedrooms.

Limited mobile signal however wifi is available.

Starter pack of logs provided for fire pit - additional logs available at cost.

Strictly No Smoking
