Company information

We have always worked in hospitality, starting in hotels, We then bought a restaurant, then a pub, then a coffee shop. We wanted to move back to the coast and when we found The Ivy Barn in Holbeton There was no going back! What a beautiful amazing village, community, area, scenery We just want our guests to enjoy what we love so much, and and hopefully return again and again to what we feel is a magical bolthole In our rooms we have tried to provide every comfort and although rooms can be accessed by keyboxes on arrival, we are always available should you need anything Jacqui & Paul
