  A Perfect Countryside Getaway at The Barn in lower Longcombe Our recent stay at The Barn in Devon was nothing short of spectacular. Nestled in the serene countryside, this beautifully restored barn offered the perfect blend of charm and modern comfort, making it an ideal retreat for friends and family. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning surroundings. The rolling hills, lush green fields, and picturesque views provided a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The Barn itself is a masterpiece of design, with its exposed wooden beams, stone walls, and tasteful decor creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The accommodations were superb. The spacious living area, provided a perfect gathering spot for our group. The kitchen was fully equipped, allowing us to prepare delicious meals which we enjoyed in the stunning indoor and outside dining area. Each bedroom was a sanctuary of comfort, with plush beds and beautiful furnishings ensuring a restful night's sleep for everyone. One of the highlights of our stay was the outdoor space. The Barn boasts a beautiful patio with ample seating, perfect for alfresco dining or simply soaking up the stunning views. We spent many evenings sharing stories and enjoying the star-filled sky. The dogs loved the open space to run and play, while the adults appreciated the peace and tranquility. The location is ideal for exploring the Devon countryside. We enjoyed scenic walks right from our doorstep, discovering charming villages, and taking in the breathtaking landscapes. The nearby beaches provided fun-filled days of sun and shingle, and we even ventured to a few local attractions, all within easy reach. The hospitality we received was outstanding. The owners have thought of everything to ensure a comfortable and memorable stay. Their attention to detail and genuine warmth made us feel truly welcome. In conclusion, our stay at The Barn in Devon was a fantastic experience. It provided the perfect setting for a memorable holiday with friends and family, and we left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Highly recommended!

  Great location close to down centre and sea 100m to both, very comfy and everything you need for a lovely break in Tenby. Guaranteed Car Parking spot with permit included in the multi storey 200m away was ideal as in the walls of the town parking is limited and car parks can get full at peak times of year. Lovely gift pack left for us on arrival. Would be ideal for a large family, couples retreat, or 2 families of 4. 2 double bedrooms a bathroom with separate shower, a bath, sink and toilet and a separate toilet room on ground floor. The kitchen and living room is on the 1st floor. There is a double bedroom, a twin bunk bed room and another bathroom with bath, separate shower and toilet on 2nd floor. We had a 5 night stay with my son & daughter with us for 2 nights on the weekend then they had to leave for work which was a shame but Me and my wife then had the whole place to ourselves for a further 3 nights and bed hopped to see which room was the best for us in future. The front ground floor bedroom is the biggest but your on the road level with anyone walking passed house able to see in if blinds are open, the bells of the church and any passing traffic on foot or car can wake you up early as windows on front are single wooden sash as this is a grade II listed building. The other bedrooms are at the rear of the property and have PVC double glazing so any noise is greatly reduced, we had best 2 nights sleep rear bedroom ground floor and can watch the stars through the roof window there. The 2nd floor bedrooms you can see the sea over the houses from the windows. I hope this review helps anyone and have a great stay at the Shipwrights like we did!

  Wow, what a beautiful barn conversion. A great place to stay for a large family group. We rented the barn over the Christmas period and everything couldn't have been more perfect. The large open living area on the main floor is absolutely perfect, the kitchen is exceptionally well equipped with all modern appliances and a huge island area which was perfect for sitting around for a chat whilst preparing our dinners. The dining area has a very large table with seating for 8 people and the lounge area has two large comfy sofas and a wood burner for those cosy winter evenings. Up above the kitchen is a beautiful mezzanine floor with seating for those quieter evenings and the addition of windows in the roof allows you to gaze up peacefully at the stars. There is a separate lounge area/snug off of the main living area which also leads you to the staircase to the lower floor where there are 4 beautiful double bedrooms, 2 of which are en-suite. The Master bedroom is truly very special, with the biggest en-suite I have ever seen. Both Joanne and Simon were there to greet us soon after we arrived and answered any questions we had about the barn. They are a lovely couple who clearly have a very good eye for detail and cant thank them enough. All in all I would highly recommend this property for larger family groups who are looking for something with more class than your normal holiday rental property.

  Let’s start with the positives, the property was mostly cleaned to a high standard, beds were exceptionally comfortable and clean. Kids bedroom is lovely. Upstairs bathroom, lovely roll top bath. Downstairs bedroom wasn’t very clean - needed a hood hoover before we arrived (carpet had thick black dog hair present as we arrived). Downstairs bathroom and kitchen were very dated and the bathroom wasn’t cleaned to our expectations on arrival. The lounge was comfortable, but again just not quite there as far as furnishings and finish. Location is perfect for exploring, minutes walk from centre, loads of restaurants and beaches. Overall a reasonable property, though a little overpriced for the quality in comparison to other places we have stayed.

  When we were on en route to the cottage we received a phone call from yourselves that the cottage had had a water leak and the ceiling had fallen in. At which point you found another accommodation which was £300 more expensive which you said that it would come from my expense. It took an hour to argue that any extra expense should come from your side as this unfortunate situation was part of your agreement with the landlords and nothing that we had done. Eventually you agreed to pay any extra cost to re-accommodate us. We should never have been put in this position as it was very stressful for us all and should have been dealt with better.
