5 Mill Barn

A really lovely property which is in an excellent location. We had a fabulous stay and received great service and prompt responses from classic cottages. Would definitely stay again - thank you!

Great location and classic cottage team very helpful, but unfortunately the property did not meet expectations. We stayed with family and were hoping for a large four bed property for a group of seven adults, a child and baby. Location was great. However, the property was not fit for a large group and it felt like the property had been locked up and only just opened for the summer season… The garden was overgrown, lawn not mowed, patio covered in bushes/ tall hedges/ making the outdoor eating space feel small and dark. Two of the three bathrooms did not have a stand up shower so most of the group ended up using one bathroom! The en suite bathroom smelt of damp stagnant water and was really unpleasant. Noise carries from lounge area up to rooms on the mezzanine which made it difficult with children trying to sleep earlier. I’ve stayed in a lot of places, and am not looking for luxury or usually one to complain, but this place had a few basics missing which really compromised our stay. ...

Lovely, bright, comfortable cottage with secure garden. Furnished to a high standard. Fantastic location with shop, great pub and golf club nearby. Will be back next year!

Lovely area to explore with many good beaches. Kingsbridge is very pretty and well worth a visit. Thurlestone Hotel does a very good evening meal and also morning coffee on their first floor patio. I suggest a very careful consideration of this property if you are planning for someone to sleep on the top bunk as it is very near the sloping ceiling. ...

Well what a great week we had at Thurlestone! The house accommodated four adults and a dog very comfortably. It was cosy but also big enough for us. We were very lucky with beautiful weather but still managed to enjoy the fire on a few evenings. Plenty of bathrooms for us, but as others have said, only one proper shower in the three bathrooms. Although small, the kitchen was well equipped and had a dishwasher too. Thurlestone is a lovely place. We enjoyed walking to the local beach, as well as longer walks to Bantham - with great views of Burgh Island, and to Hope Cove the other way. Had a few meals at the local pub The Village which was a stone’s throw away. The area is very peaceful - although we were sometimes woken up by the church bells or the jackdaws and seagulls! We would like to give 4.5 stars if we could, Thankyou. We will be back! ...
