Lovely Quiet Location
Lovely spacious barn conversion in a quiet rural location within easy reach of beaches and eateries. The only downside was that all bedrooms are accessed by stairs which was a struggle but manageable for my elderly father. Overall a very enjoyable stay and I would very much recommend.

A wonderful holiday cottage
Cote Barn was just what we were after - a comfortable, well-appointed holiday home in a rural setting, ideally located for exploring the beaches and creeks of Frogmore, Kingsbridge, Salcombe and the surrounding area. Home was exactly as described and presented in the pictures, and communication with Sally was always straightforward and easy. She even gave us some great recommendations well ahead of our trip so we could book restaurants etc. Would highly recommend.

Great break in South Hams
This was a great property to stay in, plentyof room for five adults and the ensuites meant there was never a queue for the bathroom! It was very well equipped and although it is further from Kingsbridge than we have usually stayed, it was great to come back to at the end of the day.

Amazing week in Cote Barn
Myself and a group of friends had a superb stay in Cote Barn. Sally was extremely helpful & the barn was well-equipped. The bedrooms were clean and cosy with en-suits in each. We loved un-winding in the spacious kitchen to gather after our days out (Salcombe, Bantham Beach, Kingsbridge to name a few). Will 100% be back, couldn’t have had a better stay in the sun for the week!

Fantastic week
Cote Barn was all we hoped for. Location is fantastic allowing you to explore both the east and west coasts of Devon, as well as being close to Dartmoor. The property itself was fantastic and perfect for our family of 5. There is loads of space to not be on top of each other for the week but also the central cooking/ eating area is perfect for getting together and chatting about the day. We would highly recommend this property.

Beautiful Barn
The Barn really is beautiful. It was so clean and well presented we felt really comfortable and reassured given the situation with Covid-19. The welcome pack was a lovely surprise and the kit hen is extremely well equipped. A big selling point of the barn for us was that each room has its own en-suite so everyone felt they had their own space which was lovely. Location is ideal in frogmore with a local pub, shop, garage and a short drive to the beaches or towns. The only issue we had was that glass bottles are not collected and so we followed the advice in the folder to drop at the local farm shop however the lady was slightly annoyed as she explained the bottle facility hadn't been available for over 3 years - so we drove to the bottle bank on a local car park behind the co-op but as I say it wasn't really an issue as such at all, just good for others to know for future. We really had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend and visit again!

A very special time. Our daughter visited from the States and took us, her 90 year old parents to the beautiful South Hams district and many of the places we have been to in the past. Now for our stay at Cote Barn. What can we say – absolutely perfect. A delight to return, at the end of a busy day to such lovely well equipped, peaceful and restful accommodation.

Fantastic place, perfect location.
We stayed as a group of 5 at Cote Barn to attend a wedding in a nearby village. The location is terrific as it's a couple of minutes from the main road that connects Kingsbridge to Dartmouth via Torcross. Everything in the house was as described and was clean and in great condition. Beds comfy and bathrooms great (all 3 rooms have en-suite with an additional loo next to the utility room). Instructions before arrival we're perfect and there was plenty of parking available. As a host, Sally was great. One of our party left a jacket and Sally was quick to advise and to arrange delivery. THANK YOU! Cannot recommend this place enough, really peaceful and quiet with piglets running in the yard. Seagulls occupy the roof, but they left us well alone.

Cote Barn was extremely well equipped and very comfortable.
Three generations of our family stayed at Cote Barn. We know the region well, and it was an opportunity to introduce our grand daughters to it. They have always holidayed abroad, so they found South Hams almost a novelty. The weather during our stay was wonderful, and we managed to do many of the things that our daughter had enjoyed in the past.

Great location for exploring South Hams
We were looking for a base where we could head out each day to enjoy a different stretch of the South West Coast Walk, this property was an ideal location just a minute or two from the A379. Cote Barn provides everything you need for a relaxed and comfortable stay in a rural spot. The Globe pub in Frogmore was a 15 minute walk down the very quiet country lanes and served excellent food and in June the evenings were still light for the walk back to the barn.

Beautiful place to stay in a stunning area of countryside
We had an absolutely amazing time staying at Cote Barn as a surprise for a family members birthday. It was well equipped, in a great location and everything about the experience was incredible (we even had the weather to match!). The location is ideal for exploring Dartmouth, Salcombe and surrounding areas and there are some great coastal walks nearby. We walked to the bakery in the morning and the pub in the evening and both are walking distance. Perfect, looking forward to visiting again soon.

We enjoyed a long weekend at Cote Barn, 4 adults and 2 teenage children. The barn is really spacious yet cosy and having 3 bathrooms was a bonus. The kitchen was well equipped and clean and we made use of the selection of puzzles and dvds. The village pub was very welcoming and we had a lovely meal and even played some darts. There is lots to do in the area with some lovely coastal walks nearby.

Welcoming accomodation in the perfect spot
Cote Barn is beautifully placed to explore the area of the South Hams. It is off the beaten track, but close enough to the coastal path, beaches, places to eat and shop, and all of the other things that bring visitors to an area of such beauty. It is comfortable, well-appointed and attractive inside, with plenty of windows to let the summer air in; the upper bedroom really benefits from the resulting through-draft in hot weather, where it is possible to open all of the skylights. The Kitchen area has everything required to prepare meals if the choice is to eat in, and it is very pleasant to sit in too; there is a small area directly outside where evenings can be spent in conversation (mindful of the impact on close neighbours) and all-in-all Cote Barn is a lovely place to stay. It is welcoming, beds are comfortable, there's plenty of hot water, good showers and toilets - in fact everything you need for a comfortable holiday; it is straight-forward, unpretentious, and easy to be in.
