The Shearling is a modern barn conversion at Shearstone Farm in Blackawton, South Devon. It is situated next to Dartmouth Golf and Country Club, between Dartmouth, Kingsbridge and Totnes. It has been renovated to a high standard. Access to The Shearing is down a single lane farm track.

This property has underfloor heating throughout which is controlled by the guests. If you are cold feel free to turn up the heating.

There is a large and airy open plan living space. A large, south facing window floods the room with natural light. It also offers a relaxing two seater sofa and armchair, coffee table and flatscreen TV complete with a Sky package.

There is a fully equipped kitchen with a Neff ceramic hob and integrated oven, as well as an integrated fridge with freezer compartment. There is also a freestanding washing machine and microwave oven. There is also a wooden dining table with two stylish dining chairs.

There are also two bedside tables with lamps, a freestanding double wooden wardrobe and a chair. At the end of your visit we do not expect you to strip the bed, in fact we would prefer it if you didn't.

The crisp, white modern shower room is fully equipped with a large walk-in shower, WC, handbasin, towel rail and a mirrored bathroom cupboard.

The large paved patio is enclosed by an elegant glass balustrade with a table and two chairs offering views across fields which is ideal for those travelling with dogs.

Perfect stay in every way.
This was probably the most ideal self catering property my daughter and I have stayed in since we started annual visits to Dartmouth in 1998. We loved the location, peaceful yet just a short drive to the town. The accommodation was spotless, spacious and provided everything we needed. Our hosts were friendly and helpful, and the free range eggs, milk and scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam were an unexpected treat. A delightful stay in every way.

Excellent Place to Stay
Well equipped one bedroom barn conversion in a secluded location. This was a real find and the ideal place for us to stay with our two dogs. This is a great base for exploring the local area. The hosts, Margaret, Ron and Sue were very friendly and the welcome goodies were much appreciated. This is probably the best self catering accommodation that we have stayed in. We would certainly return here if we are in the area. Thank you all

Wonderful stay - hosts / property & location
Well what can I say, from the well equipped and very clean property, to the lovely hosts and the tasty cream teas on our arrival, the stay was just perfect. Lovely and quiet and so near to Dartmouth, Kingsbridge etc, by car. Our dog Ash was made very welcome and he enjoyed his early morning/evening walks up the quiet lane and the fields. We will definitely be back next year and thank you again Margaret, Ron and Sue for the really lovely stay.

Whats not to like
For us it was perfect. Tucked away and a field to give the dogs a run. Accommodation is very good. Massive bed and quality fittings all around. 10 mins from Dartmouth and not far from everything basically. Thanks

Quiet location not far from the sea
We found the Shearling Cottage to be perfectly presented and suitable for us, a mature aged couple. It was well appointed, extremely clean and it was a pleasure to have such good quality linen on the king size bed. The cottage is on a very quiet farm but is only 4 miles from Dartmouth so the attractions and facilities of Dartmouth are not far away.

Very comfortable
Hidden down a track off the main road is this very comfortable holiday let. It is convienient for visiting the main sights in the area, Nothing fancy just well chosen equipment and furniture that actually works. You can tell that the owners know what they are doing. Speaking of whom they are a lovely family, friendly but not intrusive. This will be our go to place when in South Devon.

FANTASTIC
We were lucky enough to find this self contained Barn/Outbuilding on VRBO. The property itself is tucked away, so very private/peaceful although easy to find if you use Google maps. It served as a great central location in South Devon. We like many others took our dogs. There is a large field available to walk your dogs which is a real god send. Inside the property is spotlessly clean. If you don't have dogs don't be put off as it's tiles throughout the living area with underfloor heating so no lingering doggy smells. The owners are close by but give you the space to enjoy your stay, then even left a few necessitys/niceties to enjoy at the start of your stay. Overall a great break and one that we would definitely return to.

We really enjoyed our holiday at the Shearings. Margaret, Ron and Su were all really helpful. The cottage was spotlessly clean, and had every convenience, just like a home from home. Lots of space to walk our Dog morning and Evening in a very peaceful location. It was a very special place, we will be back.

Rural location
A very quiet and peaceful property not far from Dartmouth. No stairs and car parked at door was a great help. Nicely furnished but an extra chair in the bedroom would be a help and also a grab handle and toiletries basket in the shower. All in all, a very enjoyable stay.
