The Cider Barn at Home Farm, Down Thomas, Plymouth, Devon, PL9 0DY

This is the best holiday barn/cottage we have ever rented, and we have rented many. The quality of the accommodation is first class, extremely spacious downstairs, with effectively three lounge areas, and three beautiful bedrooms with en suites to rival the best hotels. The kitchen is very large and fitted with top quality appliances, as is the utility room. It is co located with a farm, which has very little activity, so it doesn't disturb your stay, and it's down a lane, so its about as peaceful as you can get, with stunning views across the countryside.

The owner Deidre lives alongside the barn, and made us very welcome. There was a huge bowl of fresh fruit and a bottle of Prosecco waiting on the kitchen table.

You could not better this accommodation, highly recommended.

e had the most amazing week away at the Cider Barn at the end of July.

The location is perfect and so peaceful with so many beaches to choose from nearby. Surrounded by beautiful countryside it is the perfect place to unwind and relax.

The barn itself has been beautifully renovated keeping original features where possible including a well in the kitchen which we all found mesmerising (inc the dog!)

It is so spacious offering two separate living areas one large formal room with a log burner and another comfy lounging room ideal for the children to play and watch TV. The huge country style kitchen is perfect with all the facilities you need, we had parents with us for a few days and with 6 people and a dog it never felt like we were on top of each other, the big range cooker was fab and plenty of fridge and cupboard storage space with the basics on hand such as tea and coffee. There is a useful utility room and downstairs shower room, we were able to wash beach towels etc and hang them out to dry for the next day :) there is a tumble drier should the weather not be kind.

Upstairs there is a beautiful conservatory room opening up onto the garden such a peaceful spot to relax.

The bedrooms are so grand! We all felt that we each had a luxurious room as they are all so beautiful with an immaculate en-suite each and plenty of storage for clothes.

Lots of windows so you can breathe in that country air but if it is a bit chilly the underfloor hearing throughout downstairs and the bathrooms certainly adds that warm cosy feeling.

Nothing has been missed here I cannot fault one thing! The tractor coming by each day was great and my little boy loved it. Deidre was so accommodating and friendly and so lovely to chat to. It?s so interesting to hear the history of the beautiful barn and we would very much like to move in.

The Cider Barn provides an extremely spacious luxurious sanctuary in the midst of rolling Devon countryside.

To come home from a long day to the comfortable sofas and warmth of the log burner soothed the senses. Underfloor heating throughout ensured the large rooms remained comfortably warm, whilst the underfloor heating and large towel radiators in the bathroom provided a delicious extra warmth.

There are many spaces to have ?time-out? from

Other guests if need be where you can relax undisturbed, such as the upstairs sofa room with glorious floor to cei

The Cider Barn has been renovated to an incredibly high standard by the talented and inspiring owner Deirdre Giles. The fixtures, fittings and furnishings have been chosen with such care and attention to detail and were all of top quality making this spacious, comfortable, immaculate accommodation a truly amazing place to stay with everything that was needed.

The location is so peaceful with beautiful views across the garden and fields it is also within walking distance to Wembury beach and other coastal footpaths although transport to reach the shops is nec
