When we booked the Cholwell Barn we didn't know what to expect.

It already looked promising but our hopes for a wonderful stay were far exceeding from the very first day. It's not just the exceptional and beautiful location, the lovely apartment, and the great surroundings. It is in the incredible hospitality that Danny, Zara and their dog extend to their guests. You feel more than welcome, and truly at home for the duration of your stay. Not even the extreme the heat could dampen this experience even though it did get a little hot under the roof at times. Danny went out of his way to make sure we still had a pleasant time in the apartment. We were very grateful to him for that. We would love to come back as soon as possible.

Thank you to Danny, Sarah and Dart for a wonderful stay at your beautiful apartment.

You really had thought of everything to make our holiday exceptionally enjoyable. Beautifully clean and spacious with wonderful first floor views of your amazing garden and surrounding Devonshire countryside. Your apartment was the perfect base to be able to visit both Devon and Cornwall and when the sun shines in your part of the world, it just magnifies its beauty. Would love to return one day.

This was my second stay at Cholwell barn in the friendly village of Mary Tavy.

The apartment was extremely clean, well equipped and comfortable. Good quality bedding and towels were provided. Lovely private garden and terrace where you can sit and relax. Again, we were given a warm welcome by the host Danny. Who was helpful and ensured our stay was perfect. Thank you. Ideal location for walks and just a short drive to Tavistock, Lydford and Dartmoor national park.
