The Experience

Sitting in a large garden with peaceful meadow and valley views, this converted medieval stone and thatch barn brings contemporary comfort to rustic charm.

Inside, an open-plan living area under young-oak beams has comfy sofas, an electric wood-burner style fire and a handmade Shaker kitchen. Two bedrooms – one a king, the other a twin – have en-suite limestone bathrooms, and there’s a sofa bed if you need it. The friendly owners have kitted it out with everything you need – from boogie boards, crab lines and buckets and spades to board games and DVDs.

The heated indoor pool is a treat – glass bifold doors lead out to raised decking with views over the gardens and orchard. Kids will get a kick out of the playground with swings and a climbing frame, and there’s plenty of space to run wild or play hide and seek among the trees. And as if it couldn’t get more idyllic – a babbling brook winds through the garden (pooh sticks anyone?).

Reviews

An incredible location, very comfortable accommodation and very welcoming new owners.

Chris, London

A truly delightful place to stay, ideal for family adventures or lovers of the countryside. Lovely owners Andrew and Emma have thought of everything, from a delicious homemade cream tea to welcome your arrival to a wonderful welly collection, if you haven't brought your own. A fun childrens play area with climbing frame, great local walks and a stunning indoor swimming pool with a great view.

Sheila, Sawday's Inspector

A perfect place to celebrate a 75th birthday, on a date which would otherwise be the worst of the year! Our family stayed in both barns, so they could enjoy the wonderful pool at any time. Milly and James did everything possible to make our stay relaxed and comfortable. Plenty of space for all of us and a great opportunity to relax and recharge.

Helen, Truro

A beautiful place in incredibly scenic surroundings. The barn had everything we needed for our little boy and dog. We had a brilliant time

Ross, Surrey

Storm Agnes hit South Devon during our stay, so the pool and warm pool house proved a wonderful retreat. The Cider Barn is cosy yet has plenty of space, and the location is superb for exploring South Hams. There is plenty of outdoor space too. Milly and James want their guests to be comfortable and we certainly were!

Sandra, Cirencester

We had a great holiday in the Cider Barn. It is a great location for getting around the South Devon sights and many great beaches. The pool is great, though, the pool itself was quite cold. The accommodation was lovely and comfortable. Would definitely recommend it

Mark, Manchester

Our home away from home. Lower Grimpstonleigh is an amazing place run by fabulous people. We should probably keep this to ourselves, but Milly and James really deserve a good review (; 10 out of 10. See you again, all the best from the Netherlands, Renske.

Renske, Hoevelaken

Had a lovely time in Lower Grimptonleigh, - Milly and James are very helpful and relaxed, the old barns are refurbished with skill and taste and a feeling for what you need, with the stunning pool next door. A wonderful place to get away from it all, the nearest town is a ten minute drive away.

Joachim, Bad Krozingen

We had a wonderfully relaxing Easter week staying in both barns Cider and Top with our daughters and their families. All the children 6 -14 loved the pool as did we 'grown ups'. The gardens full of the most amazing primroses, as are all the banks, in surrounding lanes. Beautiful location so quiet just bird song and very happy children. We didn't get to meet both Milly & James as they were on their own holiday but they couldn't have been more helpful beforehand.

Gillian, Hitchin

We have just returned from staying in the Cider Barn and have had a wonderful, relaxing break. Such a great location, so peaceful and beautiful. The new owners are lovely and very welcoming. This was not our first stay and won’t be our last. We love the barns, the pool, the area.

Annabel, Taunton

We had a great week at Cider barn. Millie and James couldn't have been more accommodating, great hosts and dog friendly. The pool barn right next door is such a bonus! This is a fabulous location for exploring the South Devon area with some fantastic beaches and towns all within a 30 minute drive. We would definitely recommend it, in fact my friend loved it so much she has booked to return at Christmas /New Year with her family.

Jan, Stow on the Wold

Lovely peaceful location, great facilities and welcoming hosts!

Tamsin, Cardiff

A delightful, peaceful place. Milly and James were dedicated to providing a service we were not disappointed in.

Angela, Berkhamsted

We had a lovely time staying at The Cider Barn. There is everything you need to make your stay comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a welcome hamper on arrival which is very generous. Our children ages 5 and 9 had a lot of fun in the swimming pool and visiting local beaches.
