“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. 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.
Thank you for your lovely review and we are very pleased our first ever Kitty guest enjoyed her stay as well! We are glad to report the flood damage by the river beach is now repaired ,easy access reinstated and back to normal guest use now and hopefully we shall have no more repeat of the bad , continuous wet weather much earlier this year that caused damage all along the River Avon! We hope to see you all again in the future sometime,feline guest included!
