    “We had a lovely personal welcome by the owner Shirley, and was the start to our fabulous stay at The Cider Barn that followed.”

    The open plan living upstairs was extremely spacious and great for cooking, eating and just relaxing together. The lower ground floor bedrooms were extremely cosy, with the added luxury that they had doors that opened out to a private courtyard- we found ourselves drinking our morning coffee in pj’s here, underneath the stunningly beautiful Wisteria in full bloom, and fig tree full of fruit.

    The open plan living upstairs was extremely spacious and great for cooking, eating and just relaxing together. The lower ground floor bedrooms were extremely cosy, with the added luxury that they had doors that opened out to a private courtyard- we found ourselves drinking our morning coffee in pj’s here, underneath the stunningly beautiful Wisteria in full bloom, and fig tree full of fruit. We even had a bbq in the courtyard with fresh seafood and fish from a day trip to Brixham. The Cider Barn’s location toward the end of the road, meant it was very quiet which was great for our travelling cat who loved long walks on her lead and lounging underneath the wisteria watching bumblebees. Sadly, the only disappointment was not having easy access to the river, beach and picnic table - Shirley kindly mentioned that due to the last local river floor, the landscape around the river had changed considerably, access was much harder and with steep embankment. Regardless of this, we had the most wonderful time at the barn. Was indeed a great location to many day trips and local attractions - the South Devon Chili Farm was actually at the top of the road, and Shirley recommended the Avon Mill Garden centre 15mts away that was great for breakfast. We also discovered another fantastic food spot a stones throw away, The Ring Feeder Cafe with fabulous views across the land, plus a lovely farm shop that served us well during our stay. Thank you for a great stay, we came home feeling much nurtured.

The Cider Barn has been fabulously converted to provide homely accommodation for eight guests as it rests peacefully in the Avon Valley of Devon, near Loddiswell.

Benefiting from thoughtful reverse-level accommodation across the ground and lower ground floors, the open-plan living area on the upper level takes full advantage of the breath-taking scenery on offer.

This homely layout is dominated by a stunning stone fireplace housing a woodburner while also enhanced by rustic wooden floorboards, here you can put your feet up on the snug sofas or rustle up a delicious meal to be enjoyed at the dining table set for eight.

This floor also plays host to an immaculate king-size bedroom which provides a stunning en-suite with attractive period tiles and a bath with hand-held shower.

Step down towards the lower ground floor where you will find three further delightful bedrooms, two of which also sport en-suite facilities whilst the double room has adjacent access to a lovely shower room.

From here you can easily wander out onto the enclosed courtyard which has been beautifully kept so you can sit and relax in the summer months, a further patio from the open-plan living area makes for the perfect spot to enjoy an alfresco meal with your loved ones.

Keen walkers and cyclists can find superb countryside to enjoy right from your doorstep, throughout the Avon Valley.
