We had an amazing week staying at this holiday let. The location was perfect for what we were looking for- a week spent exploring and walking the local area, with a lovely beach withing half an hour's walk, stunning woodland and cliff walks, rich in wildflowers at this time of year.The barn provided a great space to relax in - light and airy, and very comfortable - thank you!

Lovely barn conversion, suitable for family

Lovely barn conversion in a beautiful location. The owners are next door and are very happy to chat and easily available for answering any questions, and even to let kids meet their chickens and geese. It’s about a 20min walk to lovely sandy south sands beach, where there is a great beachside pub and a regular, quick ferry ride into Salcombe harbour.

I am very sorry and a little shocked to receive this severe review. You contacted us at the beginning of your stay and we asked if we could come and see the issue first hand and resolve it. I mentioned my mother was next door whenever you were available. Unfortunately, over the course of two weeks, you did not respond to this offer (despite exchanging several emails) and we were therefor unable to see the issue for ourselves or help resolve it. We have never had any issue like this before. If there is an issue, it is our policy to go out of our way to resolve it to ensure our guests are happy. You mentioned at the start of your stay that you would be happy to show but never enabled us to do so, despite many attempts. Part of the joy of renting a holiday let is that we try to give guests a nice experience and people enjoy the place and leave happy and keep returning every year. We are very sorry that your stay was a disappointment to you!

Plympton Barn

Nice welcome from the owner, who showed us around. First class accommodation with a view over the farm fields with sheep grazing. We stayed for two weeks in May. The walking was wonderful. We walked every day except three and only two of the walks needed a car to the start! We walked from the Barn most of the time. The weather was just wonderful and there were masses of wild flowers in the hedgerows, woods and meadows. The area is so quiet, the loudest noise most of the time was a Robin or Rook! The coastline and countryside is spectacular. A wonderful holiday!

What a find in a lovely spot

We loved it. Lovely, modern, light& airy, spacious and comfortable place in a beautiful out of the way location. Well appointed generally. Easy to get to the coastal path, beaches and many local eateries with a short drive. Perfect for couples or good for family with older children - no garden to run around in. For other mixed groups, be aware there's only one toilet. Also,other than a fridge, there's no other dedicated food storage unit if you intend fully self catering. This wasn't an issue for us, but just letting you know. We had such a good time.

A holiday let that welcomes you in.

A light, warm, clean and well laid out property that welcomes you as you walk in through the front door. Walked just over 70 miles in the week and only just managed a few of the many and varied walks that start from the front door. Overbecks and Greenacre are well worth a visit. Salcombe and the surrounding bays are stunning. Will return as a week was just not long enough.

Lovely barn in a beautiful location

We have recently returned from Plympton Barn and were very impressed. The barn itself is in a beautiful location surrounded by countryside. The barn is walking distance from the beach (North and South Sands) and you can also walk into Salcombe (which takes about 45 minutes to an hour). The barn itself is very well decorated throughout, clean and everything you need is included. We received a warm welcome from Michele who showed us around. All in all a very nice relaxing break and we would love to return again in the future!

A beautiful barn in an idyllic location!

We had a wonderful week in May at Plympton Barn, so much so that none of us really wanted to leave! Both Jaap and his mother Michele were a delight to deal with and Michele very kindly gave us lots of advise about where to purchase the best fish and meat and eggs! We loved meeting Jack her dog and seeing all her wonderful artwork. The barn itself is beautiful with a lovely stone floor and underfloor heating. It is spacious with two bedrooms, a downstairs toilet and bathroom and a very useful utility space with a washing machine. The upstairs living area has wonderful views of the surrounding countryside and with the bi-fold doors open the only sound is of a babbling brook at the end of the garden. There is no mobile signal at the barn but the internet connection is very good. The bottle of wine and fresh flowers on arrival was a lovely touch. Although we crammed a lot in to our week away we had a very relaxing time at Plympton barn and would love to visit again soon.

Lovely winter break in cosy barn

We had a week's stay with 6 month old baby in early Feb. Very nice barn conversion - living quarters on the top floor with lovely views of green fields and very comfortable bedrooms and bathroom with walk in shower and bath downstairs. The washing machine came in very useful. Kitchen well equipped. Lovely and warm property - even without using the log burner. Despite being completely snowed in, we still had some lovely walks and made use of the South Sands hotel for a very pleasant (if slightly expensive) lunch. Will certainly return, hopefully with some warmer weather! Thanks Jaap for being so helpful and easy to contact.

Beautiful and friendly place to stay

Plympton Barn is a beautiful place to stay. Perfect for us and our two children. Very clean and spacious. You can walk to South and North sands or take a 5 minutes drive. We have had a wonderful week exploring Salcombe's beaches, taking boat rides, body boarding and much more. The barn is a perfect place to relax after a busy day. Very quiet but extreamly friendly. We will definitely be returning for a third visit.

Beautiful barn conversion in a peaceful location

We had a fantastic week in this beautifully renovated barn. We loved the upside-down layout with a large, bright, open-plan living, kitchen and dining room looking out onto fields and woodland. The downstairs bedrooms are very comfortable and the travertine tiles with underfloor heating felt a little luxurious! The decoration is stylish and simple and the owners have thought of everything: from flowers and wine on arrival to providing plenty of hand soap, laundry and dishwasher tabs. There is a lovely outdoor seating area and the location is wonderfully peaceful with sounds of only birds, sheep and the small stream that runs through the farm. It's a short walk from South Sands beach where you can take a ferry to Salcombe - still an easy walk. It's a fantastic base for a beach or walking holiday, surrounded on all sides by the coastal path with its dramatic crags and pretty beaches. Communication with Jaap was excellent, and Michele was very friendly and helpful during our stay. We would love to go back!
