We have just returned home from a fantastic week in Stuart and Jane’ beautiful cottage. We took our youngest three children and the barn was equipped for their every need. They were especially impressed with the games room and the large field to play in. However, it was Stuart and Jane’ two friendly labradors that they loved the most . The cottage is set in an idyllic peaceful location but only a stones throw from Ashburton. We were never short of things to do or places to visit and could easily have filled a second week. Will definitely visit again and would recommend the cottage to anyone.
Close to the quaint town of Ashurton and of course rugged Dartmoor - great for exploring, The Tithe Barn certainly deserves the 5* Gold Award rating. We've stayed in many high end self catering properties, all of which have been excellent but this was exceptional Our hosts Jane and Stuart were so welcoming, the rooms were large, airy and light and so well equipped with everything we might possibly need.
We first stayed at this property a couple of years ago and were so impressed that we wanted to return to it - something we rarely do as we like to try new places, however the Tithe Barn is absolutely perfect for what we need. The property has been renovated to the highest standard and the quality of the building, fixtures and fittings is reflected throughout. We have three children (12,10,10) and the blend of outdoor space (there is a dedicated large mown field for you to use for ball games or in our case flying a drone!) and indoor facilities is first class. There is a games room that has a pool table and a full size table tennis table which kept all amused for many hours - there is even a cross trainer in there for the more energetic! The owners are very friendly and accommodating and made us again feel so welcome - their beautiful friendly black labradors were also a massive hit with our children who loved them as much as our own dog! The location of the property is just outside Ashburton which is ideal if you want to nip into town for supplies etc as well as cafes and restaurants. The big attraction to us is it is only minutes away from the heart of Dartmoor. We did walking, wild river swimming (cold!) and ate out at a couple of excellent and remote pubs. Other amenities are also really close so for the younger children the steam railway is 10 minutes away and we also found a great climbing wall in Buckfastleigh for the one rainy day we experienced. There are superb beaches about 40 mins away as well as a great place to go crabbing (Stoke Gabriel) and Paignton Zoo is within striking distance, which is a good day out. We travelled a bit further afield to the likes of Lydford Gorge (National Trust) and Coleton Fishacre (National Trust) as well as a visit to the museum at HMP Dartmoor (good for a curious couple of hours). Plenty to do, especially if you are outdoors orientated but lots even if you are not. The property is a quiet and secluded haven where you immediately feel relaxed and can listen to the buzzards (day) and owls (night) from the private patio area. We will definitely be returning and thank Stuart and Jane for their hospitality.
