  This is our third visit to Crosscombe barn.

  We like the house and its position which is good for exploring the South Hams area. Whilst the upstairs is lovely, the place is seriously let down by the downstairs accommodation which comprises the bedrooms and bathrooms. When we stayed in September 2022, the bath and shower had significant deposits of black mould, requiring us to clean it before being prepared to use it. In addition, it was necessary to unblock the bathroom sink which was blocked with black slime and hair. We left feedback for the cleaner and in the visitors book hoping that the issues would be resolved. When we returned this September we were greeted by a fusty smell as we entered the house, and again the bath and shower had significant deposits of black mould, which required us to clean it once again. This is not a new problem, to which my previous comments in 2022, and a negative review by a guest in May 2023 (which has subsequently disappeared from the website) testify. There are now liberal supplies of anti mould sprays in the property, which, apart from being environmentally unsound, are not a sustainable or long term solution. This is a ventilation problem, and until it is fixed, mould will continue to develop, and at a faster rate as the winter months approach. Not a good atmosphere to be sleeping in. Whilst this problem persists, we are unlikely to make further bookings at this property. On a separate issue, a sudden surge in water pressure as the shower temperature was being adjusted caused one of the guests to slip backwards in the bath, fortunately not causing any long term issues. It is worth pointing out however that there are no grab rails on the bath and no non slip mats in either bathroom.

  Crosscombe Barn is ideally situated for exploring South Hams with all its beautiful river estuaries and lovely beaches.

  There are several National Trust houses and woods nearby to explore and historic Plymouth is within easy reach. We particularly enjoyed a cruise on the Dart and discovering scenic Salcombe and quaint Totnes. The barn itself is spacious and very comfortably equipped with quality furniture and fittings, including a desk with lots of little extras. There is extensive kitchen and dining equipment and everything we could possibly want and more for a self catering holiday was provided. Overall, it is a warm and welcoming individual character home with plenty of room for 6 guests. The garden is a delightful sun trap and was full of late summer flowers during our visit. The provision of a small kitchen in the utility room was an added bonus - it is an upside down house so it saved the legs when making drinks and snacks. The village shop is well stocked but Kingsbridge is only 10 minutes away. We would recommend the local garden centre and farm shop for excellent lunches and a bit of browsing. The Avon valley is an excellent walking area with lots of wildlife. The barn is in a quiet corner of Loddiswell and so we had a very peaceful and restful stay. The views across the hills were a joy to view from the lounge window seat. We thoroughly recommend this property and thank the owners for their thoughtfulness.

  If you are wanting a modern place to stay, this isn't the one, however if you want a place to stay that will make you feel like you're in France, 100% this is the one.

  The seating out the front was an amazing sun trap and it was really nice going up to the top of the garden to have a BBQ and play croquet (these facilities are there for use). The facilities aren't great in regards to the tele being very small, and the kitchen being quite old, but we barely spent any time watching tele due to being out on day trips, or playing pool in the games room (pool table and table tennis table aren't amazing but did a job). We were a bit disappointed with the cleanliness of the property. It was very dusty and there were a lot of cobwebs, but it wasn't a massive issue for us. Was great having a washing machine, however it did break towards the end of our stay, but I'm assuming it will be fixed soon. If we were looking for a place to stay around that area again, then we would not think twice about re-booking.

  We enjoyed our stay at the Hideaway a perfect location for a relaxing time.

  The cottage was very clean lovely bed linen, and a comfortable bed, excellent bathrooms. The kitchen was well equipped, we would have liked a coffee machine and more mugs, some china mugs perhaps…. We were slightly disappointed with the sitting room not enough comfy seating certainly not for four people thankfully there were just us two. . The biggest disappointment was the outdoor facilities the terrace is shabby and the furniture tired and not for lounging. We were greeted with pot plants dead as dodo which were moved as no amount of watering would have helped. The owner should look at the terrace of flat number 1 to see what should be done.. We loved the pub, the hotel restaurant next door but one, and the superb beaches nearby. Thurlestone a delightful village we hope to return.

  It may be time to replace the mattresses on all beds.

  Very uncomfortable, bossy, squeaky. Cleanliness was OK but again bedding could be refreshed. I also had bites on my legs. I moved the beds in the spare room to find crackers, crisp packets and roll on deodorant, so the cleaners can't do that good a job. Overall a lovely place but new mattesses, bedding and a deep clean of both bedrooms would be beneficial. It was also a real shame to have our last day of the holiday disturbed by heavy garden maintenance, not very relaxing. This was in addition to scaffolding being put on the property next door (owners I presume) half way through our holiday which was not only noisy but blocked us in for arouns 2 hours one morning as we weren't able to get out of the drive was unloading scaffolding and setting up around the house.
