Torrings Barn is a well-received holiday cottage in Devon, praised for its cleanliness, peaceful location, and comfort. Guests appreciate the modern kitchen and bathroom, the proximity to local attractions, and the thoughtful touches from the hosts. While some guests suggest improvements in kitchen equipment and outdoor amenities, the overall experience is positive, with many enjoying the scenic walks and dog-friendly environment.
The cottage is consistently described as clean and tidy, with several guests highlighting its spotlessness. There is a minor mention of mould in the shower basin, but this seems to be an isolated comment.
The location is generally praised for its tranquillity and proximity to local towns and beaches. Some guests found the narrow lanes challenging, and there were comments about the lack of amenities within walking distance.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the cottage cosy, especially for winter breaks. However, there are suggestions that the sofa and mattress could be updated, and the dining arrangements may be better suited for smaller groups.
The facilities are well-regarded, particularly the well-resourced kitchen and good shower. However, there are several comments about the need for additional kitchenware, a more welcoming patio, and issues with broadband/wifi.
The hosts are frequently mentioned for their helpfulness and thoughtful gestures, such as returning a lost toy and providing complimentary goodies. It should be noted that while these gestures are appreciated, they are personal touches and may not be a consistent feature for all guests.
Converted from a little barn next to the owner's house in a minute farming hamlet within a mile of Aveton Gifford is this sweet cottage. Set in lovely countryside and with a bright interior with relaxing colours and wood floors, it is relaxing accommodation for a small family or couples. Head up the steps into your sitting room with a handy dining area and TV. Off this is the efficient kitchen, well equipped and leading you to your two comfortable bedrooms. Outside you can sit out and enjoy alfresco lunches and suppers, perhaps taking advantage of the ready meals available, on your sunny terrace with a table and chairs. You also have your own parking area where you can leave your canoes and kayaks, useful if you are going to enjoy paddling along the beautiful River Avon or along the stunning coastline. This is a particularly lovely stretch of the South Devon coast with excellent surfing and sandcastling beaches at Bantham and Bigbury-on-Sea and lots of rock pooling havens for whiling away the hours. The South West Coast Path is a brilliant route for walkers, providing fantastic views and pretty villages to stop off in for a little refreshment. Kingsbridge is an interesting old town with interesting shops to browse and a range of eateries. Torrings Barn is a comfortable and welcoming cottage for exploring the pretty South Hams and recharging your energy levels.
Aveton Gifford is a small rural village on the banks of the river Avon. Nearby is the busy little town of Kingsbridge at the head of a marine estuary in the attractive South Hams area of south Devon
