Guests say
The Roundhouse in Devon is a spacious property with a charming rural setting, ideal for large gatherings. Guests have enjoyed the comfortable beds, swimming pool, and games room. The property's location offers easy access to local attractions, and the presence of en-suite rooms in a large barn conversion is appreciated. While some guests have reported maintenance and cleanliness issues, the overall experience has been positive, with many expressing a desire to return.
Cleanliness
Reviews on cleanliness are mixed, with some guests finding the property to be generally clean, while others have reported issues such as cobwebs, dirty floors, and unclean kitchenware. The presence of both positive and negative feedback suggests that cleanliness levels may vary, but there is room for improvement.
Location
The location is frequently praised for its idyllic setting and convenience for exploring nearby attractions such as Dartmouth and Salcombe. The rural charm and accessibility to beaches and towns make it a favourable spot for guests.
Comfort
Guests have found the beds comfortable and the property spacious, providing ample room for large groups. However, some have mentioned that seating in the main area could be more comfortable, and there have been reports of maintenance issues affecting comfort, such as broken bed bases.
Facilities
The property's facilities, including the swimming pool and games room, are highlights for many guests. Nonetheless, there are several mentions of maintenance issues like broken dishwashers and the need for refurbishment. The pool's booking system during COVID-19 was well-received, but overall, there is a need for attention to maintenance.

About this property
The Roundhouse is a huge and splendid house converted from a barn. With seven en suite bedrooms and a private little annexe, it makes sociable and flexible accommodation for a wonderful gathering of friends or family. The grandeur begins as soon as you step into the main hall - the height of the house with vast rafters, the impressive open plan living space stretches the width of the house. Cook in the well equipped kitchen area, then eat all together around the long oak and stone table below designer lighting. Afterwards, snuggle up together below the big lofty oak beams around the wood burning stove and watch a family movie on the home cinema system. On the same level are two of the comfortable bedrooms at either end of the house. For enjoying a quiet book or the countryside views, climb up the vertical ladder to another comfy seating area on the mezzanine. Children can gather in their own den on the ground floor with a TV and fun piano. You will find five more bedrooms on this floor, all good sized and with French windows off the master double. The annexe is ideal for anyone who loves a little peace and privacy, with exterior entrance and comprising a big en suite family bedroom with comfortable chairs, TV and drinks making facilities. Outside is all the activity you could wish for, with a shared splendid indoor pool, play area and games room, as well as the farm walks to enjoy. The Roundhouse also has its own big private sunny terrace at the back with furniture and barbecues and steps up to a lawn and a pretty meadow area to the side for running and chilling out. The Roundhouse is a very special and thoughtfully designed house to welcome everyone. Note: The Roundhouse is situated on the same Bickleigh Farm as Oak Tree 976220, East Bickleigh 976183, The Hay Barn 976197 and Swallows Reach 976144.
Halwell is a small village in wooded farmland equidistant from the busy little town of Kingsbridge and popular Totnes.
