Family holiday

We had a 5 night stay, 3 generations. The location was perfect, within walking distance to the riverfront, ferries, park etc. It was fine for us but quite hilly down to the front. The view from the “Champagne bench” in the communal grounds at Barnfield was lovely. We watched the sun go down each evening. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Hideaway with an amazing view

This was our 2nd stay in Dittisham but our first time at Barnfield. It was spotlessly clean, comfortable and well equipped but what really blew us away was the spectacular view from the patio window down to the river.

Lovely location of this property and potentially a lovely modern cottage, however a number of issues.Also, numerous other complaints over a number of months in the visitors book too but none seem to have been dealt with.Difficulties with payment prior to staying, dirty oven and shower on arrival. En-suite fan comes on/ off during the night for no reason, stained shower curtain, towel rails not working….Contacted Dart Valley Cottages but poor customer service. No apology. Apparently they don’t read the visitors book. Hopefully with a few relatively small changes this could be a lovely place to stay but we couldn’t recommend it currently.

We really enjoyed our stay at Barnfield. It was an excellent base to explore South Devon.

The accommodation is comfortable and set in a very convenient location to explore South Down. Dittisham is a charming village.

Lovely stay in a peaceful cottage

We arrived after quite a long journey and thoughtful touches like tea and milk left for us. Lovely clean cottage and grounds for 2 dogs with a water view. Two bathrooms were great! Very clean linen and would stay again. Thank you!

Short break in Dittisham

Barnfield is in such a great location, especially if you want to get away from it all. So peaceful, and stunning views of the River Dart from the communal gardens. Everywhere is very well kept around the site, and it is also the perfect base to walk down to the river at Dittisham, where you can catch a ferry to both Greenway & Dartmouth. We have visited Dittisham many times, and all agree that Barnfield was one of the best accommodations we have stayed in.

Beautiful location and a great complex of cottages although you need to be a confident driver to tackle the steep hills. The village is gorgeous. The cottage is a complete escape and also great base to explore this lovely area. We would definitely return.

Nice to be back

Very comfortable repeat stay. Just like to point out that the smoke alarms were disconnected. I replaced the lower floor one but the upper floor connection set the alarms going! Juliet balcony door frame is separating at base due to wet rot. Hopefully sorted for next year

Well located & comfortable accommodation with good parking

Barnfield was everything we wanted for a comfortable New Year break. The cottage was warm, spacious, well-equipped, nicely decorated & furnished. The 2 parking spaces were invaluable. A choice of 2 pubs to walk to with a short & not too steep walk on the pavement to the foreshore. We enjoyed good food at the Ferry Boat Inn while the shop at The Red Lion was well-stocked even on New Year’s Day. We were also pleased to find that the ferry to Dartmouth runs on demand even in the depths of winter. Just give them a call. Excellent all round!

Beware!

In need of some TLC. Outdoor furniture needed staining. Windows needed cleaning Second bedroom needs much attention. One plug no mirror pillows too soft that they collapsed under pressure. Not enough room. Drawers needed waxing and were noisy. Kitchen ok. WiFi ok. The two mile road to Dittisham was not for the faint hearted.

A great base for a few days messing about by the river.

This is the second time we have stayed on this complex and we returned because of its excellent location. We enjoyed being able to walk into Dartmouth and take the ferry back and also took walks into Totnes and around the Greenway estate. The Ferryboat Inn was a great place to take refreshment after a day out walking. This property has everything you need for a short stay. The second bedroom is small and when made up as a twin offers no storage so it's necessary to live out of your suitcase. The towel rail in the main bathroom doesn't work so on chilly April mornings it was particularly cold. Thankfully there was always plenty of hot water. We found the timing of the heating impossible to control so the property was always cold in the mornings. The bin in the kitchen needs replacing. None of the above would put us off booking again though we might book at a warmer time of year.

Great location for short break,shame about some accommodation shorcomings.

Living accommodation spacious,nicely presented and well equipped. Kitchen equally well equipped with a good range of appliances. Would benefit from better instruction on use. Downstairs master bedroom was of a good size with adequate furnishings/ storage.En suite was a good size, but short on space for toiletries etc., no hooks for hanging garments, no toilet roll holder and the towel rail (only place to hang towels) only heated if/when main central heating came on. 2nd bedroom not of a size to be fairly described as an adult double. Has 2 single beds which virtually fills the whole floor space making it very difficult to get on/ around side of the beds and the wardrobe doors could only be partially open as a result. Half the wardrobe contained a water tank, the only shelf was filled with spare bedding and the floor of the small usable half was filled with christmas decorations. Additionally there was a small bedside table and in a recess a chest of drawers, but no mirror. The 2nd bathroom was minimally equipped i.e nowhere to hang towels etc; no antislip shower mat; no soap dish in shower and toilet roll holder. Outside table & 2 chairs were in very poor condition.The downstairs paved area & the outside of the property generally would benefit from some TLC.

Barnfield

Barnfield is in a lovely location and the property is in good condition inside. One or two problems - bathroom heated towel rail not working and a mirror would be useful in the other bathroom. It would have been nice to have a welcome pack!

Barnfield, Dittisham

A lovely spacious property in a peaceful setting with great views. We had a restful and enjoyable stay. Let down by a few minor quibbles, particularly if preparing your own meals, some of which we notice have been raised by other residents: - a shaving point but no mirror in the en suite, whilst the other bathroom has a mirror but no shaving point - no oven gloves - a large assortment of knives and forks, but somewhat lacking in spoons - an odd assortment of glasses

Barnfield Cottage, Dittisham,Devon.

Very good cottage and lovely location,well equiped .Stayed four times now. The only small complaint I make with the hope it will help the owners. A good mirror is required in the bathroom and main bedroom. The toilet seat in the bathroom is the wrong size for the toilet pan which results in a cleaning problem. A hook would help on the bathroom door. Mattress on double bed is not comfortable. A chair would help also. Stuart Nichols. New Zealand.

Barnfield - Dittisham

Thank you Dart Valley Cottages. Another enjoyable week spent in Dittisham (I relax completely as soon as I arrive in this wonderful little village). It is always the beds that I am concerned about when renting a property. No complaints in that department, they were so comfortable. Barnfield was perfect!

Peaceful Barnfield

Lovely accommodation in a beautiful village; great views of the river and only a short walk to The Ham. Here exceptional views across to The Greenway and Galmpton. Fabulous walking to the Ferry Boat Inn especially at low tide -along the beach! Comfortable and very homely, felt settled immediately we moved in.

Family half term break

Barnfield is a beautiful upside down cottage, very well equipped with plenty of quality crockery and cutlery. Lovely pictures and ornaments dotted around, plus books and DVD's, making it very homely. The second bedroom however is a twin, not a double as stated in the description.
