    “The Hayway is generally nice with good facilities.”

    The driveway is a total nightmare. It’s very steep and you have to turn very sharply in to it from a narrow lane. There was no mention of sheep in the field directly behind the property that belonged to someone else who we found wandering around what we thought was solely our garden doing gardening and feeding the sheep.

    The driveway is a total nightmare. It’s very steep and you have to turn very sharply in to it from a narrow lane. There was no mention of sheep in the field directly behind the property that belonged to someone else who we found wandering around what we thought was solely our garden doing gardening and feeding the sheep. This was quite disconcerting. The owners woke us on the day after we arrived banging around in the garage which was under our bedroom quite early and unfortunately my girlfriend’s birthday. They were going on holiday and getting prepared. Rubbish had to be put behind owners property not in the bins outside our property which seemed strange. South Brent is a good base for a holiday in Decon but the actual property is not very convenient due to issues above.

    Thanks for the observant feedback. We accepted your short booking and made room for you to park a motorbike in our garage. When you arrived by car, you let yourselves into the property without the key whilst we were getting ready to leave ourselves for our daughter's wedding in Italy. Perhaps we could have given you more time and greater explanation on the guest parking between the discs and the easier access by reversing up the driveway. However, Sykes have been told that this is part of a working smallholding with chickens and sheep. Sykes have been advised, and it is clearly in our notes that alternative parking is unrestricted on the road adjacent to the property. On Saturday morning, we tried to fit a bike rack to our car for our trip. We left it as late as possible to ask you to move your car away from the garage to access our bikes. We now realise that we should have done this in the pouring rain the day before. The detachable towbar had a broken spring and could not be engaged. The bikes had to be left behind. People in our vegetable garden were friends, kindly looking after our produce. I hope this explains some of your comments. Property Owner

About the location

SOUTH BRENT

Buckfast Abbey 7 miles; Totnes 8 miles; Torquay 20 miles

Located on the Southern edge of Dartmoor, England is the charming village of South Brent. This village is packed with history which dates back to the Bronze Age meaning that many hut circles, enclosures and barrows are found on the high moorlands. On Brent Hill, ruins of an ancient building and windmill remain, thought to date back to around 1790. The village is within the boundaries of Dartmoor National Park, with several shops and pubs in the village centre. Nearby is Pennywell Farm which is only 3 miles away, Totnes Castle which is 6.1 miles away, Wrangaton Golf Club 3 miles away and Dainton Park Golf Club can be found within 10 miles of the village.
