Farmstay vacation rentals in River Dart

We had a wonderful stay at Bridesmere over New Year and it was just what we needed. Peaceful, beautiful area, lovely comfortable home from home. We appreciated the enclosed garden for our spaniel, the beautiful and spacious bedrooms and the living area which was large enough for all 7 of us, two families. WiFi was strong upstairs so no issue with all of us connected and the tv had all apps we needed to watch films with no buffering. There is a beautiful walk through the forest along the river just minutes from the house which leads to a very nice pub serving good food. As other reviews mention, the kids room smells a little musty/damp but this was not a huge issue and we opened the bathroom window after showering which helped. Kitchen well stocked but knives are a little blunt! Children loved the games barn and not having to bring bikes with us was really helpful and appreciated. Overall we couldn’t have asked for a nicer stay and we would definitely return. Thank you for having us.

Our accommodation in the barn - which was excellent - is situated in a working farm next to a very pretty and accessible area of woodland, where paths and bridleways converge and deer can be seen (by us twice) darting between trees and out over moorland. A walk on one of the bridleways up the valley wends to an old pub through beautiful scenery. The barn is cosy, stocked with everything you need; Steve and his family are on hand with advice and are immensely friendly when approached. The farm is situated close to Postbridge (which has a little local shop), so in central Dartmoor - a perfect spot for trips around the moor in whatever direction. But the atmosphere is one of peaceful isolation; the barn is restful, and walks can be taken in many directions from the farm at a guest's a leisure. We loved it, would thoroughly recommend it, wished we could have stayed longer, and hope to be back. Thank you Steve and family!

This was our 4th time of staying with Heather and we can’t wait to come back again. We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed relaxing with the sound of Farm

Just returned from a wonderful stay at Serendipity. The views are unbeatable and the house feels so luxurious, modern, clean and so much space and light. Huge open plan kitchen, living, dining overlooking a pristine patio with outdoor cooker and large seating area overlooking endless countryside with plenty of wildlife. Upper level had a wonderful hot tub, easy to use and with the same beautiful view. Great location, quiet and peaceful and a short drive to various beautiful coastal villages and National Park. We would definitely return, the house was perfect and Mark a fantastic host. Thank you!

Perfect private place to stay Friendly helpful hosts Easy to find using what 3 words

Sue's place was like a home from home. It had everything we needed and it was clean and cosy. It was in a peaceful location and the only sound we heard was the moos of the cows from the farm. It was the perfect base to explore Hope Cove, Salcombe and Kingsbridge. Had a very enjoyable stay.

Lovely secluded getaway with nice walks nearby. There is an excellent pub and a railway station in Yeoford which is about 30 minutes walk. Pristine, cosy, high quality accommodation. We hope to return soon.

A lovely little spot with beautiful surroundings. Hosts made everything really easy and we had everything we needed. Surprisingly easy to find too and that was all down to the instructions provided!! Thank you for a lovely stay!

We had a fantastic night at the Shippon. We loved the style of the property and felt very relaxed whilst there. We got some nice food from Bens farm shop which is just 10 minutes drive away. We enjoyed a couple of nice circular walks from the village along lanes and bridleways. The plant nursery up the road is worth a visit if you enjoy gardening/plants.

Nice spot. Really comfortable.

Wonderful quirky place to stay with the family, lots of outdoor activities that kept us busy, sauna was a novelty. The children loved the animals especially collected and eating freshly laid eggs. Great place for a little family adventure. Beds were comfy and it was really peaceful sitting by the fire pit toasting marshmallows in the evenings.

We had the most wonderful stay with Elaine and Simon, who were the perfect hosts and became great friends with our kids (who want to go back immediately). They were kind enough to take the girls around the farm every morning, which the girls adored (and we also loved!). The barn was perfect - exactly how it looks in the pictures, immaculately clean, perfectly set up with everything you could need. We could not have had a more lovely holiday and are so very grateful to our super lovely hosts.

Absolute incredible stay at this air bnb, amazing and very friendly host. Super easy check in and host was very helpful with local recommendations for food spots. Layout of property was immaculate with all the amenities needed and more ! Host went above and beyond as I had said it was my girlfriend’s birthday when booking and upon arrival found decorations and a cake! 🎂 absolute 10/10 for this air BnB and would 100% stay again! Thankyou Maria ! 😀

Really enjoyed it,beautifullydecorated,nice touches with scones,milk,apple juice etc,Karen picked us up from the station and dropped us off when we left,That was much appreciated

What an absolute treasure of a place. Just outside the front door is the beauty of Dartmoor and a great pub literally 30 yards down the road. So peaceful and a great way to escape from the daily grind. Everything about it was spot on. We will be back for sure

Faultless!😊 Beautiful cottage in a great location. Everything we needed, super comfy bed! Great hosts, friendly and welcoming. Would 100% recommend

What a find! Beautiful location, very easy to get to places of interest, peaceful with a gorgeous view. I was greeted by the lovely hosts, who ensured I was settled in. They had left welcome tea and coffee along with some fresh eggs laid by the hens outside! Comfortable sofa and bed, a nice hot shower, fluffy towels and a kitchen with a full size cooker. A real gem, exceptional value and will definitely stay again.

My stay at Frances’ was absolutely lovely- she made us feel very welcome from the offset! The place is very charming and homely- I’ll be back for sure if I return to this neck of the woods!

Badgers House was the perfect venue and location for a large family break. House was well equipped and comfortably furnished. The indoor pool proved a knockout with the children - especially as the weather wasn’t great! The indoor games room was a hit for the male adults, who enjoyed hours of pool, and they hit the gym too. The woodland walk was perfect, we spotted a male deer, the children loved it! Hide and seek in the house was so exciting and kept the little ones entertained for hours! Thank you to Max and Alex for being superb hosts and giving us this beautiful home and setting to enjoy. Our granddaughter broke her heart to have to leave! We will definitely be returning and may need Toad Hall next time for more family members to come along and enjoy the beauty of this peaceful place.

Perfect stay in such a tranquil spot. Beautiful straw bale barn beside a babbling stream. Jam is as delicious as everyone says. Great for walkers, cyclists and those looking for a quiet retreat. Thank you for your generosity.

Lovely stay in this rustic farmhouse. Spacious eating area, lovely orchard.

We had a beautiful stay at Mill Cross in the Jenny Wren Shepard’s hut over a long weekend. Emma and Kevin were brilliant hosts, they were so kind and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. It was great to chat to them and learn about what the do and who they are. Our fire was lit for us to keep the cabin cosy and the hot tub perfectly warmed for us in the evenings. A highlight for us was the abundance of wonderfully friendly animals, it made our morning to have the hens coming running up to say hi, excited greetings from their lovely dog Juno, purrs from the very friendly cat Pickles, and happy hellos from the characterful goats. Stunning location, beautifully clean with expert craftsmanship. Very eco friendly as well. Emma’s homemade bread was delicious and we will be trying the brownie recipe she shared with us. Dreamy stay, wonderful trip. We will be back. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay here. Sophia and her husband were very accommodating and friendly. The grounds are lovely and the pool was a highlight for us as a family. The only thing we’d change to make the experience even better would be a more powerful shower! The WiFi was poor but this isn’t necessarily bad when you are on a family holiday and spending quality time together. Overall, we had a great time together.

We had a lovely stay at Rory’s place! Hot tub was amazing, hut was pristine & Rory was an amazing host giving us everything we needed for a yummy breakfast! Thank you x
