Guest comments
Our stay at Fingerling Barn was wonderful. The setting in which the Barn sits is breathtaking and the accommodation is to a very high standard and everything that you required in the kitchen was there, even down to a lemon squeezer. It was great being able to sit down as a family and enjoy our meals at the huge table in the dining room, there was so much space for all of us. We were greeted by the owners on our arrival who were down doing some gardening. They were very helpful and ensured that we were ok before they left. We would recommend this holiday to everyone and wished that we had booked 2 weeks instead of 1.

Just wanted to drop you a note to say how much we enjoyed staying at Valley Springs. The house was brilliant, the surrounding area was so peaceful and calm and the nearby beaches were absolutely gorgeous. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it to anyone.

My wife and I work full time, we run a small business from home and our family part owns a manufacturing business in South Wales which was established in 1979.

Why the owner chose a home in this location
Joan and I first visited the South Hams back in 1988 and immediately fell in love with anything the area has to offer and since then we have visited at least once a year and for many of those years dreamed of buying our own cottage. Well that’s a reality now and believe like minded people who love the countryside, good clean unspoilt beaches, piece and quiet will enjoy the rural setting of Valley Springs.
Unique benefits of the property
Valley Springs is conveniently located whilst in a rural setting and hidden from the hustle and bustle of daily life, Kingsbridge with it’s shops, restaurants and many other facilities is a short drive away, as is the beautiful South Devon beaches and countryside is on the doorstep waiting to be explored. Fingerling Barn offers usually spacious living, it really doesn't feel like a holiday let, we have stayed at many over the years which squeeze your family into the smallest of space, Fingerling Barn is home from home and a place to relax in with good size windows to enjoy the views over the pond.
