Fingals Barn - Self-catering in Devon
Old Coombe, Dittisham, TQ6 0JA, Devon
England,
Regno Unito
Unusual, quirky and fun. Fingals is a magical collection of self-catering spaces and loyal fans return year after year for the old manor's laid-back charm. In a rolling green valley half a mile from the river Dart, all you need is here: there is shared use of a games room with a snooker table and table tennis, a grass tennis court, gym, sauna and heated pool.
Reached from an outside stair, your huge oak-framed barn has massive beams and floor-to-ceiling windows. Find polished oak floors with faded oriental rugs, well-snuggled-in sofas, a rocking horse, grand piano and books and games.
The master bedroom (en suite) is downstairs with its own enclosed garden; the extra two alcove bedrooms are smaller but charming. Sheila leaves you drinks and snacks, eggs from her hens (when they’re laying), fresh flowers and vegetables in season from the garden. It's a wonderful place for happy family holidays with lots of things to do without going out.

Local points of interest from Sheila Johnston:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Sheila Johnston:
- You are spoilt for outdoor activities here. Walk Green Lanes from our door, learn to sail on the River Dart just a mile away, take the whole family canoeing from the creek or crabbing on the village pontoon for hours of fun.
- If you fancy a little sleuthing, jump on the ferry across to Agatha Christie's holiday home at Greenway on the banks of the River Dart. There are mystery trails in the grounds and the house as well as stunning views and excellent cream teas in the cafe.
- Our favourite beaches require a bit of an effort to reach - private coves with rock pools and absolutely no modern facilities! We'll let you in on their secret locations when you arrive!
- We have two steam trains locally for both big and little kids to enjoy. Kingswear to Paignton with great views of the Bay or Totnes to Buckfastleigh with Rare Breeds, Otters and Butterflies to see at attractions near the stations.
- Wonderful cafes, bistros, pubs and restaurants will offer you sumptuous meals in every village or town or even on the beach. Local fish, meat and even veggies are colourful and so yummy - you will be rolling home at the end of your holiday!
- The weekend market in Totnes is just wild. Full of crazy stalls with hints of your past - aromas of patchouli oil, folk wearing patchwork and with dreadlocks and beads in their hair will serve you organic and home made products to remind you of your stay.
