Barnsley House

pulling up to the house, i thought it was very tired, then in side was nice , although the hall was very creepy with a bull head bone on the wall, yuk,

Barnsley House is beautiful inside and out.

On arrival the property was immaculately clean and well presented. Thorough details of how to use facilities are in place avoiding any unnecessary confusion. The furnishings and provisions are amazing and it’s obvious a great deal of thought and attention has been given by the owner to ensure your stay is comfortable.

Very large, period house with especially big bedrooms and bathrooms.

The house was very clean and has a a mix of modern and older features. The owner was helpful, easy to contact and had left us welcoming cakes, milk etc. The kitchen was about the best equipped I've seen. It was good to have radiators come on for the first, colder part of our May week and then to have the lovely garden to sit in for the second warmer half of our stay. It is an easy walk from the town and the railway station.

We had a great time, in this lovely house!

Great kitchen with everything complete, beautiful garden to sit and eat outside. Very friendly owner, easy to contact for questions or information. Large bedrooms with fine beds and bathrooms.

On arrival the property looked a little tired.

However once inside the property was well equipped and furnished. All rooms were very large. The new patio area and equipment was first rate. Communication with the owner was faultless.

A lovely spacious house for 3 generations of our family.

Well equipped, clean and comfortable. Well located to places of interest and just a short walk to the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

A lovely comfortable house, with plenty of room for three generations of our family.

The swimming pool was a great hit with most of the members of our family. The beds were very comfortable and lovely bathrooms.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Barnsley house the house is wonderful with everything you need and more, the grandchildren absolutely loved the pool and had so much fun, the house is very clean with beautiful views across the garden to the sea ,we all wish we could have stayed longer and we would like to thank Sam for the lovely brownie treats on arrival which were enjoyed by all hopefully we will be back again .

A very spacious house, great kitchen, superb bedrooms/bathrooms and easy parking for three cars.

In a good location for the shops and beach. We had lovely weather so the pool was a real bonus and was used every day. All in all, we would recommend this property for a large family group.

Beautiful property full of charm and character.

Everything is on hand from the well equiped kitchen (we did manage to cook a couple of evenings), the comfortable lounge, bedrooms & the bathrooms are fabulous. Garden is a lovely peaceful haven in which to sit and relax, the pool was clean & very well used. We had a really nice time and visited lots of local attractions, Mules Park is a short walk away for the dog, which she thoroughly enjoyed. The town itself is just down the hill and easy to reach before walking back along the promenade, we had an amazing breakfast in Brunch, the staff were lovely. The teens really liked Dawlish Warren, which has everything on hand for a day at the beach (open space for ball games) beach & sea, arcade & excellent food & service at 'The Boathouse', plus the nature reserve for walking the dog We really enjoyed our time here and a week wasn't long enough, Sam (owner) lives next door but was away duting our stay, however she was reachable if needed, but the house catered for us all so well there was no need, the cakes on arrival were a really thoughtful welcoming touch and i'm told the brownies were 'to die for'.

Barnsley house is a great place to stay , perfect location as it’s just a short walk to the beach /town.

The pool is an added bonus but the area around it could do with widening as there’s not that much room . Would definitely stay again

We loved staying at Barnsley House, it was perfect for an intergenerational holiday.

As the weather was so good, we enjoyed the garden and swimming pool to ever day (the safety had been well addressed with locked gates especially with little ones). The house is very large, beautifully dressed with art and pottery which made it so special, and very much a home. We definitely plan to go back to stay again.

Lovely place for a family get together

From the outside the house looked a bit run down and there was an issue with the key safe but once we were inside we were amazed it was absolutely beautiful.

Must admit the living room was quite dark but as the weather was glorious didn’t really spend a lot of time in there. Bedrooms , bathrooms and kitchen were exceptional , well equipped to a high standard. Shame the pool was out of use. Would definitely book again.

We had a lovely holiday at Barnsley House.

The house was excellent with plenty of space for 6 children and 8 adults. The owner even made some lovely Hot cross buns and left an Easter treat for the children. I would thoroughly recommend the house.

The house is old and full of character, all of the rooms have been decorated to a very high standard,and are very comfortable.

The kitchen and bathrooms are modern and spacious and there is ample room in all the bedrooms for everyone. The house is very well equipped and we had everything we needed to cater for 12 guests. The pool area is tucked away,private and a real sun trap(when the sun is out )There is ample parking for three big cars. We couldn't have chosen better,the house was perfect for 6 adults 6 children and an infant.

A great property for a large family gathering (8 adults and4 children).

Plenty of space in rooms and kitchen. Pool was great for children to play in. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking and crockery items. Overall a great place for a holiday

We had a wonderful holiday staying at Barnsley House in Teignmouth Devon.

It was very well equipped and the beds were comfortable. The house is ideally suited for touring around Torbay. The outdoor pool was a lovely added bonus . Excellent family house .

A beautiful house, and the views were stunning.

The kitchen was a super hub, very spacious and well equipped, and the garden area with seating a lovely space to relax in. Sam, the owner, was so helpful and welcoming. We would definitely book again.

Barnsley House is a large property to maintain and overall the owners have presented a comfortable multi-generation family holiday home.

This applies to most areas of the house, especially the upstairs bedrooms, all bathrooms, kitchen & dining area, patio and garden. Barnsley House offers a sole use swimming pool, but also with a high standard of cleanliness & maintenance of the pool and surrounding area. The value for money offered here compares favourably with other similar properties.

We had such a great break at Barnsley House: the property is beautifully presented and truly special.

For 6 adults plus a dog, plenty of lovely indoor & outdoor spaces to come together, or spread out! Thoughtful touches throughout to make our stay effortless e.g. very well supplied kitchen, multiple sets of keys. Great communication with the owner. Teignmouth is charming: enjoyed walks & good food.

We had a fabulous stay at Barnsley house which easily accommodated 8 adults a young child and a baby.

The kitchen was a super social space. Location was great and Sam was good at communicating. Everything was spotless and facilities were good. Pool was enjoyed by most of us although fairly briefly as it was cold. The planting in the garden was lovely and the only disappointment for me was that we didn’t have the lovely large square lawn that was shown in one of the pictures, I had imagined games with my grandson on it. It does say parts of the garden are fenced off in the details but not which parts and I thought that part went with the house. That said the garden was still an adequate size and we had a great time.

ul house with stunning views.

Very spacious for 7 adults and 4 kids. Beds were so comfy for everyone. Short 10min walk downhill to waterfront. Lovely surprise of baked goods on arrival. Lidl in walking distance. We visited some beautiful areas of Devon every day during the week, the highlight was probably Dartmoor national park and brixham. Beautiful peaceful garden with pool gated for kids' safety. Owners live next door very friendly and inconspicuous. Well equipped kitchen. Would highly recommend this property.

This is an amazing historic listed property.

.but with all modern comforts in a great location. We were 6 adults and 4 children and the house was very spacious and well furnished. We found that we did not use any cars all week as the train services are excellent and very economical. We visited Exeter, Totnes,Paignton,Torquay and Dartmouth all with ease…the kids loved it! The Owners were very helpful and welcoming.

Beautiful house and lovely location, very well equipped especially the kitchen, with beautiful bathrooms.

Lovely large bedrooms and plenty of space in every room. Would definitely recommend staying here with a large family or friends get together.

We had a fabulous time - the house is wonderful for a big family.

The decor is smart and easy to live with. Beds super comfy Good location for beach walks Just loved it!!

My family and I had a lovely relaxing holiday in this beautiful house.

All the bedrooms and bathrooms are of a high standard and beautifully clean . The kitchen/breakfast room is great for all the family to get together, large light and has plenty of equipment for every type of cooking. The hall/sitting room is unusual and had just enough sofas for us all to sit together just . The garden was warm and secluded and great fun for the children to play in with the swimming pool fenced off. The pool was a little cold for me but the children loved it . The walk to the town is only about 15 minutes so you can carry your buckets and spades to the beach easily. Great position. The owners were very helpful with any information needed . We would recommend this property.

Beautiful spacious house full of character.

Kitchen is well equipped for all your needs. Stunning views. Very clean, comfortable beds. Bonus swimming pool. Short distance from the town and the sea. I would recommend this house to our friends.

Beautiful house with amazing views and loads of space .

Grandchildren loved the swimming pool and the inflatables provided. Great for a combined family holiday. Everything we needed was available. Owners have just the right combination of helpful and unobtrusive. Hopefully be back one day

We had a lovely stay at Barnsley House.

It is outstandingly equipped. Very comfortable beds, great bathrooms. Owner responded very swiftly and accurately to our questions. Only a small stroll into town or to the supermarket.

Lovely property, close to excellent amenities and beach.

Pool was clean and the children loved it, although a little cold.

Mega holiday home with everything we needed we wanted for nothing whilst staying here lovely swimming pool And sea views from the onsuit bedroom was amazing couldn’t of asked for a better week away I highly recommend

A lovely property that was genuinely relaxing.

Close enough to town for anything that you might need or want, but far enough away to be quiet and contained. Generously proportioned rooms gave a real sense of space that allowed nine of us to sit and chill or join the throng as the mood took them. A wonderful pool, suitable for all was the icing on the cake. Overall a wonderful holiday in a highly recommended property.

The house most certainly has the wow factor especially upstairs which has been modernised but retains it's Georgian elegance.

The home is very well equipped and guests comfort must have been the owners priority as the beds and sofas were so comfortable.Everywhere was clean and smelt fresh too. Sitting in the garden was like being in the Mediterranean,it is so beautiful and well cared for.One of the added bonuses to the holiday home was the luxury of a swimming pool.Not as warm as expected,but the family loved it and it cooled them down.The other bonus is the owner Sam.Such a kind, approachable and caring lady.I have so much to thank her for.We had a very treasured family holiday .

We had the most amazing time at Barnsley House, a beautiful property & garden, our Grandchildren loved the pool, as did the grown ups.

Would definitely stay there again & recommend to others. We didnt want to leave.

Fantastic house.

Upstairs rooms were excellent. Downstairs garden space was excellent. We loved the pool. Lounge and dining area were spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and did its job. There was mention of a downstairs refurb and this would take the house from 4* to 5*. The weather for our week was perfect and we really enjoyed the area. 10/10.

A beautiful spacious house with delightful quirky bits and very elegant decor in bedrooms.

Smart modern bathrooms and a large garden. Well equipped kitchen .We are a family of 5 adults 3 children under 5 and dog. Good location for getting around the coastline Great to have pool in the garden also very clean and safe. Complimentary wine, strawberries and cream on arrival. Lovely. Everything was lovely. Felt secure and wanted to know more about the grand old place.

Great holiday location beautiful house we were blessed with the weather so swimming pool and beautiful garden was perfect.

Sam the owner was always on hand to help, many thanks our family hadn't been away all together so fantastic cheers

Beautifully appointed and comfortable house.

Felt very homely.

We had a fabulous stay and the house and garden are wonderful.

The only things we could say would improve would have been use of the tumble dryer as having little ones there was a couple of accidents and to have clothing drying around was ok but not ideal. Also the quality of the bedding for such a lovely house could have been better and was slightly disappointing. But we had a lovely stay and the location and space of the property were perfect.

Beautiful house with all the amenities available.

Large enough to not feel crowded with our large group, we catered in and enjoyed the long dining table. The staircase stood out as we entered, with modern bathrooms and period features, we felt at home during our stay. Host was very accessible and helpful.

Wonderful old house which has lovely refurbished bedrooms and bathrooms, large rooms great for group gatherings.

Lovely garden and pool for a bracing dip. Walking to local facilities and sea front. Good and prompt communication with owner.

We had a great week at Barnsley House.

The accommodation was clean and comfortable and the top floor, which has obviously been recently renovated, was beautifully appointed - some of the bedrooms have stunning sea views. The pool and garden were a real treat - it felt incredibly secluded and private. Cooking facilities not bad for a holiday cottage, though we were surprised there was no coffee maker - not even a cafetière! Although the downstairs decor could do with some updating, this is a wonderfully characterful house with all the activities of Teignmouth and the beach just a few minutes away. It was very well suited to our big family group - the kids spent all their time either round the pool or playing tennis on the (free) courts on the sea front. Great place to holiday and would heartily recommend.

My wife and I arrived first closely followed by the rest of the family.

Everyone expressed a "Wow!" on entry into the building; that entrance is quite something. We loved the cream tea, the fresh flowers and the quirky nature of the house and gardens which added a homely, welcoming feeling. Your listings say: "Those with limited mobility will be pleased with the restful ground-floor double bedroom". However, the downstairs bathroom, while not a problem for us, would not have been at all easy to access if we had a mobility issue. So, I do take you to task on that point. Would we book again - Yes.

Lovely house, beautiful garden, very helpful owner.

We had a great time and would consider going back.

Truly lovely house, full of period features.

The grounds are beautiful. Just a minor point either an extension lead or longer leads on the hairdryers so they reach the mirrors(for the ladies).
