Wonderful Holiday home
Beautifully clean, comfortable, well equipped home, situated in a quiet location. We could hear the owls calling at in the evening. Welcoming, delightful hosts, who thoughtfully provided wine, chocolate and homemade jam and cake amongst other goodies awaiting us when we entered. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

Love this cottage
This is the second time we’ve stayed at this cottage. Everything is so clean. You don't feel the need to clean before you unpack as I have in some other cottages. Annette and Barry are a lovely couple and perfect hosts. If you visit the beach you will need to drive as it’s quite a walk but be prepared for the £10 a day parking ticket. South Milton is a lovely exploring beach too, ideal for kids. Would 100 % recommend this cottage and we will miss being there.

It has comfy beds, excellent showers and baths and the surroundings are just stunning. There was lots for the children to do and Annette and Barry are just lovely hosts. We all had the most enjoyable time and the sun shone on us!

Lovely holiday
We had an amazing vacation in Devon, thanks to our stay at Annette and Barry's beautiful lodge in Kingswear. They were excellent hosts and welcomed us warmly. Their lovely house was equipped with all the necessities we needed, making our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The location was incredibly convenient, allowing us to explore the nearby attractions easily. One of the highlights of our stay was the huge garden behind the lodge. Our daughters had a fantastic time playing there and making the most of the beautiful surroundings. Overall, we had a wonderful experience, and we would definitely recommend this lodge to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation in Devon.

A Rural Retreat Near Bantham
We loved our stay in Annette and Barry’s beautifully equipped lodge. They live next door and welcomed us on arrival to show us round. The kitchen is excellent as are the living area and the bedrooms. We enjoyed the eggs from their hens as well as home made soaps and jam. There is plenty of fenced in outdoor space with views across the fields and with tables for outdoor eating, weather allowing. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and glorious starry skies at night. Only a mile or so away is Bantham with its surf beach and walks along the Avon Estuary, as well as the SW Coast Path, which link to footpaths nearer the lodge. Highly recommended.

An excellent retreat
We had lovely time staying here, Annette and Barry are a lovely couple who made us feel very welcome. The Lodge is very clean and well equipped with everything you might need. We even had some lovely fresh eggs, Annette’s home made slow gin and sweets for the kids waiting for us upon arrival. They were also kind enough to lend us some crabbing equipment so we could take the kids crabbing. Beautiful surroundings, plenty of things to do with the family and good value for money. What more can you ask for!

A great location and fantastic, comfortable and well-equipped property
This lovely property was ideal for a family of four including 2 teenage boys. It was spacious, clean and had everything you could possibly need - the kind owners had thought of everything: windbreak and parasol for the beach; eggs, tea, coffee, milk, etc for arrival; ice cubes in the freezer ready for the sweltering weather and much, much more. The location was great for going to Bantham Beach, although the narrow lane is not for the faint-hearted. The outside area was peaceful and relaxing overlooking the countryside and with chairs, parasol and BBQ ideal for sitting out in the shade after a hot day on the beach. The owners were very helpful and friendly. A very enjoyable stay!

A perfect short break
Annette and Barry are the perfect hosts and the lodge is ideally situated for our favourite beach at Bantham, as well as a short drive to local pubs and amenities. There is everything you could need in the lodge, including a beach umbrella and wind break! The little touches, like fresh eggs from their hens, made all the difference. We would love to stay again - next time for longer than the four nights we had this time. Thank you for everything.

Best place to relax
Annette and Barry’s cottage is a wonderful place to relax. With wonderful birdsong, horses in the field and rabbits hopping around, the outside patio is a great place to sit and chat and barbecue before retreating into the large open plan lounge/diner/kitchen. It’s very well equipped and comfortable and immaculately clean. Just 5 minutes from a great beach what more might one need. Returning next year for the third time. Can’t wait.

Super Cottage and Fabulous Hosts!
We can confirm that the previous comments are absolutely spot on - the lodge is fitted out to a very high standard and was spotlessly clean. Everything you could wish for is provided and the welcome gifts were very much appreciated. Barry and Annette are amazing hosts and really looked after us without being intrusive. The setting is very quiet and perfect for a peaceful break and Kingsbridge is only a 4 mile drive for shops and 2 large supermarkets. As the kitchen is so lovely, we cooked most nights but would recommend The Sloop Inn in the village where we had a lovely meal with great service. We highly recommend Barn Owl Lodge and will definitely be back.

We have just returned after a week in beautiful Devon. The lodge is impeccable and had everything in it you would need for an enjoyable break, it really was like home from home! As previous reviews have said, Annette and Barry’s extra touches like the very drinkable slow gin ! tonic and fruit bowl were enjoyed by us. Bantham beach, Bigbury and Burgh island are a must to visit as is The Sloop Inn in Bantham. As a family we all had a great time.

Superb stay at Barn Owl Lodge
Excellent and spacious accommodation. Very well thought through for families with lovely attention to detail & thoughtful extras. The photos don't do it justice. A welcome fruit basket, cookies & homemade slow gin were a nice touch. The hosts are extremely helpful & friendly when needed but are not overly fussy. They were simply delightful with our 7 year old daughter who absolutely loved meeting their horses. The location is ideal for various beaches, walks or places of interest. A trip to Torquay is no trouble if you wish to go further afield. Lots to explore nearby however and we have only scratched the surface during our weeks stay Definitely one to return too. Highly recommended.

Lovely stay in a special place
Spotlessly clean, and a warm welcome at this spacious & comfortable lodge. So quiet and peaceful, the only noise is the chatter of the birds, some sheep and horses. A mile or so from some stunning beaches (narrow roads will keep you on your toes) this is a great place for couples or families. Lovely hosts and great weather, added up to a memorable fortnight. Thanks. Steve & Joy
