Reviews

Introducing Rydon, a 15th Century barn which has been restored and crafted into this most luxurious and comfortable retreat. This 'once upon a time' flower store has been architecturally designed to deliver style and luxury, whilst retaining its deep and characterful features. Not only is the barn dripping in splendour, the outdoor heated swimming pool and fire-pit area make for your ultimate enjoyment, whatever the time of day.

Nestled on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, exploring and enjoying this magical spot is so easy to do with many adventures leading right from your doorstep. However, you may not want to leave this fabulous barn and grounds, which is totally understandable. The outdoor heated swimming pool will provide hours of entertainment, especially for the younger members of the group, and for those who prefer a slower pace of life, relaxing on one of the sun loungers or around the glowing fire-pit may be more the ticket. Whatever you seek from that special holiday, Rydon offers it all and much more.

Venturing out and about is a must. Rydon is nestled in 30 acres of the most glorious and unspoilt Devonshire countryside. Nestled in this beautiful hamlet in Teign Valley, the adventures which can be enjoyed on foot are endless. However, should you wish to venture further afield, a pleasurable car journey will find you at the south Devon coastline where numerous villages, towns and sandy beaches can be enjoyed.

Back in the barn, this stunning home-from-home boasts charm, luxury and comfort all year round. Characterful features can be enjoyed throughout, from natural stonework which has been lovingly preserved and exposed to the breathtaking vaulted beams and ceilings, not forgetting the must have creature comforts of king-size beds and a glorious open fire to tuck up in front of whilst planning tomorrow's adventures. Rydon has been restored to the highest of standards, it will render you not wanting to leave.

The owners of Rydon reside within the grounds, therefore should you need any help or guidance as to how to make the very most of your special surroundings, please don't hesitate to ask as they are only too happy to help make your holiday as special as possible.

Good or bad, we publish all the reviews left by the guests who have stayed at this property.

Mrs Sheppard

Absolutely stunning property, it had everything we needed for a perfect family stay! Thankyou so much for making us feel so welcome, it was like home from home.

Mrs Pullen

Rydon was a beautiful house in a stunning location. It felt like a home away from home. Beds comfy, beautiful roll top baths! Alison was very friendly and welcoming. The pool was enjoyed by all the family. Lots of things to see in the area. A particular shout out to Canonteign falls- utterly gorgeous and only a 10 minute drive. Haldon forest was lovely for young kids.

Mrs Soffe-Eisentraut

We had the most wonderful and relaxing time. Everything was just perfect.

Mrs Escott

We loved our stay at Rydon. It’s a beautiful property with an exceptional swimming pool. Alison, the owner, was really attentive and left delicious treats for us to enjoy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.
