Set in its own conservation area in Barton, one of the historic villages that make up the popular seaside town of Torquay in South Devon; Sweet Rose Cottage is a beautiful, lovingly restored barn. Tucked away behind the 15th Century Devon longhouse, ‘The Old Manor Farmhouse’, this one bedroom, one bathroom barn is the perfect couples retreat. Dogs and infants are welcome. Together with Honeysuckle (2 bedrooms) and Threshing Barn (4 bedrooms), the 3 properties form the multi-award winning ’Pilgrims Rest Cottages’, historical homes that have been welcoming guests since 2009. Awards include ‘Most Pet Friendly’ accommodation. With countryside to the north, the coast to the east and all that Torquay, The English Riviera, and its nearby surroundings have to offer, previous guests have found it to be an ideal location for their stay – with the local shops, a stroll away, an added bonus.

The Pilgrims Pooch rules include: - Not letting your dog go upstairs in the bedroom. - Not letting you dog go on any furniture (if dog throws are brought, there can be exceptions, but must be agreed at booking) - Not leaving your dog home alone unless by prior agreement and discussion at booking (the owners know that many dogs are fine on their own, and allow some leeway here) - Do not leave their dog to roam alone outside; being respectful of others who may be staying at Pilgrims Rest - Finally, as always pet owners are required to clean up after their pets and dispose of pet mess in the bins provided in the car park. - Vacuum cleaners are provided to help, in each property. -Breach of these rules will result in the forfeit of your security deposit Facilities - Travel cot upon request prior to arrival - High chair upon request prior to arrival - Stair gates provided - Ironing board and iron provided - Hairdryer provided - Towels and linen provided - Clothes drying rack provided - Carbon monoxide detector - Smoke detector
Overall a fantastic place to stay. I grew up in the area and you will do well to find a quieter, safer area in the Torbay area. Barton is lovely. Middle of everything and easy to get to. Pros of the property; - Really quiet - Comfy - Garden is just brilliant for the dog - Private parking a huge bonus Cons of the property (I am being critical!!); - Pillows were useless. We actually had to buy our own sadly - There is no shower. It is just a bath - and this should be communicated clearly in the advert - For £75, what we paid, its good value. I would never pay more. I see in the summer months its advertised at £100 a night. A shame as its enormously over priced at that price. If it was £65-75 a night then they would be sold out every single night. - If you are not a confident driver then you might struggle, the car park is tight and the turning circle in the cul-de-sac is awkward. - The check in and check out times are weird. 10am check out and 4pm check in. Pretty awful.
Had a lovely stay. Very cosy. Good location for walks. Helpful guest book that we used for beaches and restaurants recommendations
Really nice place, we had a fab time. Great location. We would definitely stay again.
Pilgrims Rest Cottages is a collection of three unique, award winning cottages that have been welcoming guests year round since 2009. This collection of cottages is located within the conservation area of Barton, one of the historic villages that make up the popular seaside town of Torquay, South Devon.
Originally the barns of a 15th Century Devon longhouse, 'The Old Manor Farmhouse', these handsome cob and stone buildings have been graded by English Heritage as a site of ‘National Importance’; now the oldest residency on the English Riviera with reputed links to The Spanish Armada .and the Prince of Orange becoming King no less!
Pilgrims Rest offers the quaint Sweet Rose (1 Bedroom, sleeps 2), cosy and beautiful Honeysuckle (2 Bedrooms, sleeps 4) and the grand Threshing Barn (4 Bedrooms, sleeps 8), each with their own character, charm, and able to welcome infants and our four legged friends. Historic features such as stunning oak beams and spiral stairs make prominent features throughout all properties, but you will also find luxurious modern comforts with super king or king sized beds, roll tops baths, Smart TV's and super-fast Wi-Fi. Vaulted ceilings and Velux windows add to the sense of space and light in these beautiful buildings.
The cottages can be booked individually or altogether, sleeping a total of 14 plus infants, making it the perfect base whether traveling as a couple, solo, with friends, family or extended families.
Sheltered from the prevailing South Westerly winds by the tors of Dartmoor, the area basks in its own micro-climate where in the gardens of Pilgrims Rest, you will even see grapevines and palm trees! It was found in the early 19th century, by fashionable, well-heeled royalty and gentry. Unable to travel abroad, they did not just visit, but also built their second, third or fourth home! Indeed, it became the richest town outside the Cities. Now with its proximity to Dartmoor it makes the perfect year-round destination for exploring both coast and country
Nestled just over a mile inland, between the pretty coastal villages of Maidencombe and Babbacombe, Pilgrims Rest Cottages offer a slice of tranquillity without being too far off the beaten track. An excellent selection of local convenience shops are within a couple of minutes walking distance, beaches less than 5 minutes drive and an abundance of restaurants, cafes, pubs and attractions of all types that you would expect from a premier resort like the English Riviera and Torquay; all within 3-10 minutes away. Choose the pace that suits you for your time away, with either leisurely days on the nearby beaches, walks seeing some stunning scenery taking in some rather lovely local fayre, a day of retail therapy in Torquay, or for those who are drawn to the sea or sport, why not try out Stand Up Paddleboarding, Kayaking, Jet Skiing, Fishing, Sailing, Golf, Horse Riding, Cycling and more!
A further bonus is the cottages' wonderful gardens. From the sunny courtyard at the entrance of the properties, to a beautifully furnished orchard garden featuring an oak table and chairs, sun loungers and a BBQ to enjoy in those blissful summer evenings, the secure outdoor spaces are perfect for your four-legged friends or young travellers.
Sweet Rose enjoys its own dedicated parking space approximately 50 yards from the barn.
