    “The property was clean and was very well presented with ample space.”

    Lots of games and dvd’s to keep you entertained. There are just a couple of things that are not great and that is the roads are quite difficult in and out of the village, we would not have attempted these roads at night!! Also, I have raised issues with the oven which is not working properly. This caused an issue with cooking meals during the stay.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review and I am delighted you found the barn well presented and clean and that you enjoyed the games and many dvds. Regarding the location of our property, despite being only 6 miles from both Totnes and Dartmouth we are in the Devon countryside in a rural village and unfortunately the lanes are narrow which is all part of the charm of the South Hams. I’m sorry you found this challenging and generally after the first day, you do get used to them. I hope you still managed to get out and about to enjoy the area. Regarding the oven, thank you for highlighting this, we will get an engineer out to take a look. Again thank you for your review. Jackie Property Owner

The property

Dittisham 2.6 miles.

Resting rurally in Cornworthy, a chocolate box village near Dittisham in Devon is Cowslip Barn, a characterful, 18th-century barn conversion.

Sympathetically-restored throughout, featuring exposed, A-framed beams and stonework, Cowslip Barn offers a countryside setting for a family of six and a furry companion, well-positioned near the coast and within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Travel down the country lane and through the private driveway, reaching your new, stone-fronted abode.

Step indoors to be wowed by the open-plan living space, complete with a fully-equipped, country-style kitchen with breakfast bar, a lofty dining table for formal affairs, and plush, leather sofas to lounge upon with the woodburning stove in the backdrop.

Use this space as your social hub before heading outdoors to bask in your surroundings, where you'll find a private, lawned garden with patio and furniture.

As day turns into night, head down to the lower-ground-floor to locate three well-appointed bedrooms; select between a king-size with TV and en-suite, a further king-size, and a twin, serviced by a sleek bathroom.

Enjoy a fresh morning coffee before preparing to explore the area, where find three great pubs within walking distance of your lodgings: The Hunters Lodge Inn in Cornworthy, a short walk from your new home; The Maltsters Arms in Tuckenhay; and the The Waterman's Arms located slightly further along the Harbourne River.

Head to Dittisham for your local amenities, before reaching Dartmouth and its lovely, riverfront position; here you can tour Dartmouth Museum, hike towards Dartmouth Castle, traverse the National Trust nature reserve of Little Dartmouth, or enjoy a beach day at Blackpool Sands, where you can also join the South West Coast Path.

Travel inland to Totnes, with the chance to trek up to Totnes Castle and tour its remains, or visit the Totnes Rare Breeds Farm, a family favourite, before dining out at the Waterside Bistro in Devon, serving delicious local produce and tapas.

Further attractions to add to your itinerary include visits to Woodlands Theme Park, perfect for younger family members; Paignton Zoo Environmental Park, strolls along Paignton Pier with a bag of fish and chips in hand, or hikes across Cockington Country Park, before reaching the imposing, Tudor mansion of Berry Pomeroy Castle, enveloped by woodland walks.

A day trip spent sampling some award-winning vintages from Sharpham's Vineyard in nearby Stoke Gabriel after a few hours traversing the beautiful landscapes of the River Dart Country Park is a must whilst you're in the region.

Escape to rural Devon at Cowslip Barn.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £300.

About the location

DITTISHAM

Dartmouth 3.5 miles; Totnes 7 miles.

Dittisham is a picturesque village surrounded by rolling countryside, located on the banks of the River Dart in the South Hams. Wander along the quiet streets lined with quaint, stone cottages and lush gardens, until you reach the waterfront. Dittisham’s quayside is often regarded as the hub of village activity. Stop at the Anchorstone Café for a spot of lunch while taking in the fantastic river views. Try your hand at some crabbing with the kids on the dinghy pontoon. Visit the iconic pink Ferry Boat Inn (or FBI as it is known locally). Ring the bell for the ferry and head across the Dart to Greenway, the once holiday home of the renowned Agatha
Christie. For outdoor activities, there are sailing schools and boat hire also paddle board and canoe hire, as well as plenty of
scenic walks. The harbour town of Dartmouth is just a short drive away or ferry away, and offers an array of shops, a cinema, plenty of restaurants and even a castle. Further afield, you will find plenty of fantastic beaches such as Blackpool and Slapton Sands, as well as key destinations such as Salcombe, Totnes, and Brixham to explore.
