A very comfortable property in a secluded location

Tucked away in the country approx 2kms from Bantham and its stunning beach. Many other beaches within a short distance. A great base for outdoor activities. And if the English weather gets in the way Totnes, Exeter and Plymouth are easily reachable. decent pubs and plenty of freshly caught fish...and of course Devon cream teas

The Coach House

We really enjoyed our stay here. The property is as listed and in great condition with comfortable beds and all kitchen amenities. We didn’t need to contact the owners as the key safe system works very well and we had no issues during our stay. Lots to do in the area and the local beach is lovely. The information book could do with being updated as prices have changed for car parks etc.

Lovely peaceful place

The barn is very well laid out, very clean. You definitely need a car to get about. The only problem i had was only 1 bed was made up, i went with a friend that i didn't want to share a bed with.

Mr

A lovely week helped by the weather. Well presented property, plenty of space. Additional trays for the oven would be beneficial and a draining board. The road to bantham very busy and sometimes slow to get back. This did not really bother us and cannot be helped. 5 out of 5 rating . Visited everywhere we wanted due to excellent location.

Great week away at The Coach house

Our family had a wonderful week away at The Coach house. A lovely quaint cottage with all the necessaries for a family-of- 5 stay - even a single bathroom didn't pose any problems. Modern and contemporary, comfortable and clean with lots of cozy cottage charm. Quiet too considering there are a few other cottages dotted about. We were blessed with amazing weather but I think you'd be pretty covered if you stayed when the conditions were foul. We wanted a beach holiday and not a city / touristy holiday and we certainly got it. Beaches are roughly 10 minutes in each direction and Kingsbridge 20 so quite centrally located even though you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. Narrow single lane down to the cottage that caught us off guard the first time but once you are driving like a local it's no big deal. Davids communication was punctual, helpful and spot on. A place I'd definitely recommend.

Beautiful area and beautiful accommodation

During our recent visit to the UK, we had the pleasure of staying in a charming countryside cottage that exceeded all our expectations. the cottage was a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the serene surroundings—the lush greenery, the gentle hum of nature The cottage itself was beautifully appointed, with every detail thoughtfully considered. The living room, with its cozy fireplace and comfortable seating, quickly became our favorite spot to unwind after a day of exploring. The kitchen was fully equipped, allowing us to enjoy homemade meals, and the dining area offered a delightful view of the garden, where we spent several mornings sipping tea. One of the highlights was the master bedroom, which featured a comfortable bed draped in soft linens. What made our stay truly special, however, was the warmth and hospitality of our hosts. They provided us with a welcome bottle of wine. Their recommendations for local walks and nearby attractions helped us discover some hidden gems, from quaint tea rooms to stunning nature trails. The location was ideal—peaceful and secluded. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a serene and idyllic retreat.

Property lovely as described, but outside space and lacking information

You can't fault the the property itself, I would rate it 5 star, it was lovely, clean, comfortable and had everything you could possibly need inside and a lovely bottle of wine to welcome you. But 2 star for the description of outside which was economical about the facts of the location and other important information. It says its in a secluded valley, but not at the bottom of the valley and you absolutely need a car to do anything at all. It is not suitable for walkers. Although it says it is 1 mile from the beach it does not say that it is not really walkable. There are no footpaths from the properly, but a local farmer said we could walk through his field and another owners' field to get to the public footpath. It takes an hour or more to walk to the beach. You have to be very fit to climb to the top of the valley. The road only fits a car and is winding and the beach road is the same; its not really safe to walk. If you do take the car to the beach it costs £6 to park if you arrive in the morning and £3.50 after 3pm, though that’s not the owner's problem. There was no useful information, not even a hand drawn map of how to walk anywhere from the property. The property is fantastic for surfers and those who want a base in the area to drive out to other places. The description says small garden which is shown in the photograph, set within larger communal grounds, but there is no information about these communal grounds. Each property (6 others) has its own small garden; we didn't find any communal gardens that you could walk in (though the grounds were beautiful to look at and the wildlife magnificent) and the farm is not accessible; its private. They did not say there is no phone signal in the description, you find this out when you arrive from their information booklet. You can get a signal at the top of the valley (near the bins) so if your partner is the driver and taken ill in the night, you would have to walk 20 minutes uphill to get a phone signal. Other places we have stayed without signal have a landline for emergency calls only. They were economical with the description so not to put people off. The local pub you have to drive to unless you want that 1 hour uphill walk and if you drive then you can't have a drink. This property is not really suitable for people who don't want to have to drive everywhere. We were disappointed as we are walkers. We had a lovely holiday, but we had to drive everywhere.

Response from VrboOwner on 18 Mar 2020
In response to some of the criticisms raised, we would like to make the following points: - The website states very clearly (under Nearby Places) that a car is necessary. Our recommendation is to drive to the coast (e.g. Thurlestone has a free car park) and to walk from there. - Maps and tourist information are available in the cottage. - We make no reference to "communal gardens". There are communal grounds immediately behind The Coach House. This is made clear in the information booklet in the house. - Finally, we believe that the criticism regarding lack of phone signal is valid. Although we mention this in the literature sent to guests after booking, we have now also included a note about this on the website under"Facilities".

We are very surprised by this review as, when we went to do the changeover today, we saw that the beds had not been slept in. We wrote to Julie to ask if they had come down. Julie responded, saying that they had had to return home on Friday evening due to a family emergency. There was no mention of her dissatisfaction.

The Coachhouse - August 2022

A really lovely and charming cottage style holiday home set in a quiet and secluded valley. We found the Coachhouse to be the perfect base for us to explore the region from, and whilst it's set down in valley, it was bright and airy, well apportioned and big enough for our needs. The owners were super helpful throughout, helping us with both pre-holiday questions and anything we needed to know during our stay. You do need a car to travel to Bantham beach as the road is very narrow and busy, but we found we spent whole days down there, so needed it to transport all of the beach gear anyway! We would thoroughly recommend the property to families and couples who want a place that is a little more peaceful, but able to get to the great places in the region you want to go to.

Outstanding barn conversion

We could not fault the Coach House. Great communication with the host, a smooth check-in, excellent location and very clean. The layout of the living room is very cosy and the outside space is a bonus in good weather. Bantham village and Bantham Beach are within a reasonable walking distance or a very short drive away. Very much hoping to book again in future.

Hi Julie. Thanks for your good review. Just one query. You say “no power on shower”. Is that really no power or do you mean that there was insufficient power? The reason we ask is that we replaced the shower in the spring, so would be concerned if there was no power. Regards, David

Another lovely stay

We love this property. Always spotlessly clean and we appreciated very much the renovations which have been undertaken since our last stay (a new bathroom fit-out and new living room carpet). Nothing is 'tired' as is so often the case with holiday cottages. We will be back!
