Willows Rest

The house of beautifully and tastefully decorated as well as being comfortable. Beds great, kitchen well appointed. Pool and hot tub a bonus!

Location is rural but not far from either Dartmouth or Totnes for shopping and all the amenities of the South Hams

Was great for our two families

Willow's rest is a rustic, beautiful property that ensures you escape from the world. All you could ever need or want, whether its a restful nights sleep after one of the many walks into the Devon countryside, or a days surfing at Bigbury, or maybe some s'mores around the camp fire followed by the hot tub with stars blinkering...magical place ! Raymond was also an excellent host ensuring every last detail was catered for ! Thanks...

Our stay at willows rest was perfect. Not only is the barn absolutely beautiful, the hosts were on hand whenever we needed them (and live next door in an equally gorgeous house). The swimming pool was a great addition and the hot tub was ideal! The hamper on arrive was lush and the kitchen cupboards are stocked to make sure you can cook for lots of people. We will recommend it to our friends and hopefully be back soon!

A warm, welcome, beautiful and luxurious property, the space lends itself excellently to large groups and the location is beautiful - easily able to access country walks, pubs and gorgeous nearby villages such as Salcombe and Totnes. We had a wonderful Christmas there thanks to the lovely hosts who went the extra mile with a welcome basket and gorgeous Christmas decorations. Couldn't recommend a stay here more highly!

Ray was an excellent host , information was passed to allows us to enjoy the Experience of the property and surroundings , the facilities are excellent You will not be disappointed

Fantastic property in every way. Level of decoration and furnishings way above the standard set by other holiday rentals. Hot tub was fantastic and the pool lovely to have on site. We will be back!

We had a lovely long weekend at Willows Rest. Celebrating a Special birthday the venue was perfect. We were all blown away at the quality and standard of the barn and the facilities all first class. While there I had an holistic massage with Emily who made me feel at ease with her caring and professional manner. Would definitely recommend and would not hesitate to make a return visit. Wonderful.

Willow’s Rest offers the perfect accommodation and setting for a family or group holiday. Luxurious but practical, beautiful but comfortable and the pool really was an added bonus! Set in a quiet rural setting, Willow’s Rest offers peace and tranquility but is within easy reach of a number of local resorts and tourist attractions. Many thanks for a happy and memorable stay!

Excellent accommodation, owners on hand with friendly advice on local area, would recommended having a massage and/or reflexology, great place for a family holiday

We had a great family holiday, almost home from home. Even when the weather was not so good the grandchildren were happy to spend the day in the swimming pool, hot tub, or playing indoors.

The owner was also extremely helpful in sorting out any problems.

A large, very comfortable and tastefully decorated property which was extremely well equipped. The snug with the television was a great place for the kids to stay entertained while the adults relaxed in the living area. We used the pool everyday and made good use of the hot tub and firepit in the evenings, a great way to unwind after exploring the local area. We were also surprised by the size of the garden which was bigger than shown in the pictures and the children were able to let of steam playing outdoor games. A superb place to stay!We liked everything about Willows rest, a week wasn't really long enough to take full advantage of the property or location. There are lots of things to do with Totnes being a short hop and other attractions like the South Devon Chilli Farm and the variety of beaches a short drive away. It's also reassuring to see such a commitment to recycling and the environment being taken in South Devon and the owners were able top explain clearly what we needed to do to comply with this.

We had a wonderful family holiday at Willows Rest. The cottage is equipped and decorated to a very high standard and had everything you could possibly want from a holiday home. From the hot tub you can enjoy views across the countryside and the indoor swimming pool was great for younger children learning to swim and lovely and warm. We definitely hope to return again soon!

Our family has just returned from a wonderful week at Willows Rest. It comfortably housed 10 of us (we did not need the annexe) and is in a lovely location, with beaches and things to do readily accessible. The cottage itself is very homely with a stunning interior and is extremely well equipped with lovely touches such as a welcome hamper. The layout upstairs worked extremely well especially when preparing meals etc as it meant the adults could all relax together whilst the children played in the adjacent room. The swimming pool was superb and our 4 grandchildren loved it. The adults thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the hot tub under the stars in the evening and we all had great fun toasting marshmallows around the fire pit. The owners were lovely and very helpful on the odd occasion that we needed them. We would thoroughly recommend a stay at Willows Rest and hope to one day return ourselves!

The pool and hot tub were excellent for the children. Nice garden for games with the kids. The location was good for beaches and I’d recommend going to Salcombe and catching the ferry across the estuary for lovely sandy beaches and great views. I’d also recommend going to Dartmouth, going on the park & ride into the town and getting the ferry to the castle, bus rides, boat trips and a castle for the kids.

Willow's Rest is a fabulous place to spend a holiday. It is beautifully furnished and superbly equipped. The pool and hot tub were wonderful. The owners, who could not have been more helpful before and during our stay, have created a very special holiday home in a beautiful part of Devon. Consequently, we had a very special family holiday there that will long remain in our memories.

We had a wonderful time at Willows Rest. We could not fault it. Children enjoyed the pool and we all enjoyed the hot tub under the stars.

We loved this stunning barn. It sits in a very peaceful location but just a short drive from beaches, a theme park and a conservation zoo which my grandchildren enjoyed. Best of all though, following our days out, was to return to Willows Rest and swim in the heated pool followed by hot-tub time over looking the rolling Devon hills. We loved the massive upstairs room. Happy times preparing meals in the beautifully equipped kitchen and relaxing in front of the log burner. So much room for everybody. Plenty of board games to play and a huge TV with Netflix in a separate lounge.

The owners are really lovely and thank you for all the goodies on arrival - great brownies! Also for the Easter eggs for my grandchildren - how kind and thoughtful. Without a shadow of a doubt the owners have created a dream of a holiday home and one that we have no hesitation in recommending. Thank you.

The barn is beautiful and has a beautiful setting. The facilities are first class. The owners made us feel very welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. The welcome basket left for us on arrival including home cooked brownies was a lovely touch. The swimming pool and hot tub were excellent. It's location put us close to some of Devons most beautiful locations. My daughter and her family even drove to the Eden Project for a day trip with ease. Thank you for making our family holiday extra special.

Willows Rest is a superb property. It had everything we needed for a party of 5 couples. Furnished to a very high standard and the equipment was all very high spec too. Use of the pool and hot tub was very welcome too. The property owner was contactable easily and very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend and we will be back
