Cider Barn

Cider Barn is in a stunning location at the end of a narrow Devon lane. The accommodation is of a very high standard with extremely comfortable beds, a well appointed sitting room and excellent working kitchen. We loved the heated indoor swimming pool and garden gazebo. We were able to BBQ and still enjoy alfresco eating even though the evenings were cool. The owners Kevin and Lorraine couldn’t have been more helpful. We hope to return for a longer stay.

It is not difficult to understand why guests return time after time, ourselves included. Lower Grimstonleigh is a truly special place to stay, from the idyllic setting amongst rolling Devon hills, to the stunning indoor swimming pool. We spacious open plan living area as well as Top Barn with it's incredible vista. have now stayed in Apple Cottage, with its divine spiral staircase and cosy but Kevin and Lorraine are exceptional hosts, friendly, accommodating with fabulous attention to detail. I highly recommend you try it for yourself. You won't want to leave!

Immaculate accommodation and stunning location for a three-generation family holiday in two adjoining cottages (Top and Cider Barns). Our children - 6 and 4 yrs - loved the pool, the playground and the stream/gardens. The adults loved the peace and quiet, and nearby towns and countryside for wonderful meals, shops and scenic exploring. Cannot recommend this place highly enough!

Outstanding accommodation, beautiful setting, warmest welcome. Cannot recommend highly enough. Took two children (5 and 7) and one dog. All the family settled in straight away and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Such a quiet and relaxing setting, a short drive from some fantastic, dog-friendly towns. Could happily return time and time again.

Accommodation excellent, high spec, comfortable and luxurious. Gorgeous setting, and the pool is excellent. We stayed with a small baby & a 3 yr old. Very relaxing.

An idyllic relaxing retreat in the beautiful Devon countryside. All the little touches hamper, wellies and the addition of the lovely indoor pool make this a very special place to stay.

We visited for a short break at the beginning of November (our third visit). Grimpstonleigh worked its magic yet again offering a restful and luxurious space to return to after walks along the coast and trips to Salcombe and Totnes. You are made to feel truly welcome from the start with a welcome pack of organic fruit and veg and bread delivered by the local baker, not to mention the apple juice made by Kevin with apples from the orchard. We could happily have spent the whole time at Cider Barn resting by the beautiful pool and delighting in the 33 degree temperature swims.

Fabulous accommodation in a wonderful setting/location. This was our second visit to Lower Grimpstonleigh and we have booked again for summer 2016. Cider Barn is wonderfully equipped and the welcome hamper/freshly baked bread on arrival is a lovely gesture (the shortbread is delicious). The icing on the cake is the FABULOUS heated indoor pool with views down the valley. The owners are so welcoming and have thought of everything. If you book a holiday at Lower Grimpstonleigh you will definitely want to return time and time again. We love it.

Had a fantastic stay, a real gem of a place with the feel of being "home". A very warm welcome too from hosts and resident piggies! We'll definitely be back.

We had a fabulous weekend: every detail had been thought of...with a delicious hamper on arrival, classical music playing, dvd's for the boys and their own swimming robes! The pool is equal to that of a smart boutique hotel and we seemingly had it to ourselves, perfect once we were tired from beach trips etc. beautiful walks from the door, a stream to wallow in and even a playground too. Top marks- we highly recommend!

Brilliant. We've stayed 4 times; Every one relaxing, pampered and special. On our last trip the new pool was ready - just perfect! Cider barn is great for families - with a bedroom at each end. Our daughters love having a room of their own that they share. The attention to detail, fittings and little touches are the best we have seen in many years of self catering with kiddies. Love it!
