Accommodation overview: This beautiful, detached, stone barn conversion, ideal for family holidays, is set in a quiet, tranquil location near Bow Bridge, which is over a pretty estuary off the River Dart and close to the hamlet of Tuckenhay. Yetson Barn is perfect for those wanting to enjoy a peaceful holiday and the quietness of rural country life. It is a good sized, traditional Devon barn, built of natural stone, and boasts polished wooden floors and original beams. Set in an elevated position, it enjoys open sweeping views of the surrounding countryside and farmland. The barn is in the heart of the countryside but just 5 miles inland from the riverside town of Dartmouth, a vibrant little town nestling on the bank of the River Dart. This is the home of the Britannia Royal Naval College, a haven for yachting and all types of marine activities. The town itself has an interesting assortment of individual shops, boutiques, restaurants and pubs. By ferry it is possible to cross the river to Kingswear and drive through the English Riviera comprising Brixham, Paignton and Torquay. The historic town of Totnes is just 3 miles away where a regular weekly market is held and at Christmas the town comes alive with market stalls and carol singers. The South Hams countryside, as well as numerous beaches and coves all along this stretch of coastline, can be visited. For the outdoor types there are some lovely walks around this area. The South West Coast Path offers some of the most spectacular scenery in the region and is vibrant with wildlife, plantlife and birdlife. There are several NT properties in the area, including Greenway mansion, the home of Agatha Christie, and the semi tropical gardens at Coleton Fishacre. For those with children there is so much to see and do, including Woodlands adventure park, the Buckfastleigh steam railway, boat trips from Dartmouth up the river and around the coast to Torquay, the water park at Goodrington, and a golf club close by. Shops 2½ miles, pub ¼ mile.
