    “This is the second time we've stayed at May Blossom Barn this year!”

    We loved it so much after the first visit! Please check back on my previous review as there's no point in repeating what I wrote there. We just love this cottage - light and airy with lovely views across the valley. It's also warm in cooler months - and the Rayburn is very simple to use (I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get the hang of it, but it's easier to use than a conventional oven & hob). Everything you need is supplied - all top-quality: towels, crockery, cutlery, etc. Plus, ...

    We loved it so much after the first visit! Please check back on my previous review as there's no point in repeating what I wrote there. We just love this cottage - light and airy with lovely views across the valley. It's also warm in cooler months - and the Rayburn is very simple to use (I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get the hang of it, but it's easier to use than a conventional oven & hob). Everything you need is supplied - all top-quality: towels, crockery, cutlery, etc. Plus, the barn is beautifully, carefully and thoughtfully decorated and furnished. Look for the hare symbols - even the hook on the back of the shower room door is a small iron hare's head with the ears acting as a hook. The barn is also equipped with locally-made items such as the glass coasters in the bedrooms and other glass ornaments. Having stayed in another cottage this summer which comprised cheap chain-store furnishings and equipment throughout (not through Helpful Holidays or Sykes, I hasten to add, but another cottage company), May Blossom Barn with its superior fixtures, fittings and equipment is an absolute dream and a delight to arrive at after a long drive. We will definitely be returning - hopefully this will become our bolt-hole for future Devon & Dartmoor holidays.

Whip up delicious treats for your guests in the fully equipped kitchen, with a handy washing machine and tumble dryer, before settling down to enjoy and toast to the wonderful days ahead.

When sleep calls, you can choose to retreat to the double bedroom with en-suite shower room, or the twin room with zip/link, each beautifully decorated and offering glorious views of the Wray Valley.

Pour in the bubbles and enjoy a soothing soak in the free-standing bath, before joining the rest of your part for an evening of board games downstairs.

Treat your guests to alfresco dining as you settle down to a delicious lunch at the outdoor dining table surrounded by the beautiful valley.

Venture into Lustleigh, known as ‘the prettiest village in Dartmoor’, where you can expect lush green woodlands, narrow lanes and thatched cottages, along with a pretty 13th – century church.

Skip an evening in your kitchen and venture to The Cleave Pub for your evening meal, or after a long day of exploring the countryside, settle down for a slice of homemade cake and pot of tea at the charming Primrose Tea Rooms.

For panoramic views, climb the steep hill of Cleave, which is just a short walk from the centre of the village, which overlooks Lustleigh and the surrounding Dartmoor areas.
