Vacation rentals in Buckland Abbey

We spent 3 nights in the charming old farmhouse, it's a very beautiful location, quiet and peaceful. The 5 dogs are just lovely! We didn't meet Katherine in person, but the communication was smooth and she is very friendly. There was a folder with loads of helpful suggestions in the house, don't miss "The Who'd Have Thought It Inn" in Milton Combe! The drive there is an adventure... Over and all a fantastic stay, highly recommended!

My brother, whose birthday we were celebrating, was first to arrive. He had had no part in organising it but I had sent him the email link to contact Gary, and had already explained how friendly and amenable Gary was. My brother was still really impressed and surprised by our host's down to earth attitude and generosity. He also made the most of the jet bath before the kids arrived and ruined his peace! The house was just stunning. 8 people, three families, and no one felt on top of one another. With teens and an old lady, we could have easily fallen out somewhere less spacious. Gary did not advertise how big his kitchen space is and that it doubles up as a dance floor ❤️ Very fond memories made of my kids moon walking with their uncle. Huge hot tub. Max 6 but I don't think we had more than 4 in at a time, and it was a lot more pleasant than smaller hot tubs with 4 in at a time. The view from the back of the house was something else. ❤️ Planning our next visit already.

Cider Barn fulfilled our needs perfectly. The location on the edge of Dartmoor was great for walks and close enough to my father-in-law whom we visited daily. The accommodation suited us just right. It made the most of the space and had everything we needed. We would definitely return to Cider Barn for the peace and quiet and the warm welcome. On arrival we found the fridge stocked up with milk, scones, butter, jam and clotted cream. There was also a large loaf of bread of the table. A super place for a couple.

Ian and Jane were excellent and communicative hosts who were on hand to solve any issues or problems we might have had during our stay. The accommodation was wonderful and exactly as advertised/expected, nestled in the old core of Bere Ferrers. It was thoroughly clean and provided a nice roomy space for a couple. We used it as a base for exploring Dartmoor and found it to be a terrific place to stay, but would equally work well for a romantic break with bedroom views across the Tamar. I would certainly not hesitate to book again when I am next down on Dartmoor.

We had the most incredible stay at this property. The views alone were some of the best we’ve ever experienced, with the deck overlooking the sea. The beach is a short walk down the cliff side from the property (the walk back up is a workout to say the least, especially on a boiling hot day!) and a stroll across the sand couldn’t have been more peaceful. Christian was a great host and was quick to respond to any questions. This is the perfect place to switch off, with bedrooms with great views and a spacious living room and kitchen. The only thing we’d suggest is possibly bringing your own essentials, such as milk, butter and cooking bits as local shops are about a 15 minute drive. Overall we can’t recommend this place enough, we really needed to reset after a hectic few months and we finally managed to here for which we are so grateful.

A really beautiful and peaceful little cottage, we loved it for a little getaway with the kids. Highly recommend, Craig was very welcoming and responsive. We felt very at home, could have stayed much longer!

The Big Broom Cupboard very much felt like a home away from home, spotlessly clean and exactly as it appears in the pictures. Robert personally welcomed us when we arrived and showed us into the house and made sure that everything was okay. We wondered if the cake in one of the pictures was just for show but it was there ready for us when we arrived and was absolutely delicious! The house is in such a peaceful location only disturbed by the sound of the birds chirping. We had chosen this particular property to stay at due to one of our group being elderly and with mobility issues and so one of the bedrooms being downstairs and with its own bathroom, worked well. We hope that we get the opportunity to stay here again some time in the future.

What an amazing stay! It was everything we were hoping for and more. The cottage had everything we needed and also some nice personal touches too. It was so relaxing sitting in the hot tub, listening and watching the birds . The weather was a little unsettled for us but not a problem, as we could sit in the summer house, and look out at the lovely view and our neighbours the sheep! Claire was very responsive with messaging and will look forward to visiting again soon. 🙂
