We are a family of 5 and a fantastic week away staying in Venterdon Barn! The barn was well equipped with everything we needed and more! There was a welcome card and some delicious Cornish biscuits when we arrived. We would very highly recommend Venterdon Barn and would love to stay here again!

A return visit to a lovely holiday home. The Barn is very well equipped and has a lovely cosy feel. A welcome pack was a extra nice touch. The Barn is very well placed for enjoying both the North and South Coast of Cornwall. We had great trips out to Bude and Looe and as well as completing a circular bus tour of Plymouth. We also had a lovely riverRead more cruise from Totnes to Dartmouth which can be teamed with bus and rail travel through the Dartmouth Rail and River Company. Hide

We really enjoyed our stay at the barn. It had everything we needed and was a cosy home away from home. The owners went out of their way to make sure we felt welcome. It was a great place to explore Devon and Cornwall as a family.

Our week at The Barn was very comfortable and we were made to feel most welcome. Our party of 4 adults and two young boys were well catered for, with good quality furnishings and pretty much everything we needed. It was a lovely base to explore the area, and to enjoy cosy evenings with the family.
