Newly renovated to an immaculate standard, this luxury barn conversion rests in a picturesque countryside setting, and although the location is one of rural quiet, the beaches and towns of both Torbay and the South Hams, are within a few minutes’ drive.

Formerly a dairy barn, the cottage forms part of Higher Yalberton Farm and has been lovingly reimagined into a wonderful holiday home for couples, completed with a large kitchen / diner, spacious living room, and fabulous upper floor master suite. Exposed stone walls and rustic lintels nod to the barn’s heritage as a working farm building, while tasteful furnishings and top-notch fittings offer a beautifully styled and thoroughly comfortable space for relaxation. Outside you’ll discover your very own private garden which is the perfect spot for fresh-air dining or simply unwinding in the sunshine. A fabulous hot tub tucks away to the side of the cottage so you can enjoy a rejuvenating dip whenever you fancy it.

Higher Yalberton Farm is perfectly placed to make the most of all that the area has to offer including lunch and bubbly at nearby Sandridge Barton wine estate or walks along the river in Stoke Gabriel. Totnes lies just 10 minutes’ drive away, along with Dartington Hall and Dartington Cider Barn. In the opposite direction, Torbay with its three coastal towns of Paignton, Torquay and Brixham, is within 15 minutes’ drive too so you’ll have plenty to see and do during your time here.

A lovely cottage for a relaxing break especially with your own hot tub. Everything provided and you only had to ask if you required anything else.

We stayed for a long weekend.
The property was the cleanest we have ever stayed in. Everything was beautifully presented and the addition of a hot tub was amazing.
We had a lovely relaxing stay and would highly recommend.

The accomodation was beautiful, having been finished to a very high standard. It had everything we needed. As we were lucky enough to have very good weather during our stay we were able to enjoy the lovely private garden space which is landscaped and well equipped with a table and chairs, recliners, a barbecue and hot tub. The surrounding grounds are also very attractive.
Thanks to Jen and Kev, the owners, who are excellent hosts and are very friendly and informative about the local area.

Communications with the owners were good and we received a very friendly welcome on arrival, with lots of helpful tips of where to eat and how to get there.

We were greeted with a beautiful, sympathetically restored property, showing amazing attention to detail. The kitchen was very well equipped as were the outside areas, with the hot tub and seating all with a very high level of cleanliness. For those with an EV there is a charger, you have to park very close to the wall to allow others to access and egress the entrance, but it is not a major problem. It was relatively quiet when we went, but were all the cottages to be full, the parking and turning area looked like to could become tight.

On departure we did not feel rushed by constant communications regarding our check out time, the owners did not supply endless instructions as to ‘what must be completed’ before leaving and we received a nice wave and a friendly chat before we heading out.

The location of the cottage itself in relation to amenities such as supermarkets, and its setting within the valley are lovely, the only reason I marked it down on location was the aforementioned entrance way and turning area, the barn works close by, though during our stay it was very quiet and we only noticed anyone there on the Saturday, and mainly for those not used to some West Country roads, they are very narrow and in areas heavily pot holed so take care.

In no way would those minor issues stop us booking the Diary again, in my view, a re-visit is the best feedback we can give.

We had a perfect stay at the Dairy. Jen + Kev could not of been better hosts. The Dairy had everything + more yo offer. Coffee machine, views, comfy beds. The hosts had left an informative info book which helped us plan a day or two out. All in all absolutely amazing. We loved it. Thank you
