THE IVY BARN BED AND BREAKFAST - The hidden gem in South Devon
BOOKINGS DURING THIS CRISIS-This section is being frequently updated due to the ever changing situation
As from the 23.03.20 the Government ordered CLOSURE of all hotels, hostels, bed and breakfasts, campsites, caravan parks, boarding houses, and short term holiday lets for commercial/leisure use . There is an exemption which allows permanent residents (those who are homeless through flooding or otherwise) and key workers to stay in hotels or bed and breakfasts. This order is still in place although it MAY be possible for parts of the hospitality industry to reopen in July. We are waiting for clarification as to whether this will extend to Bed and Breakfasts in July. We hope so as we miss seeing our guests. We already have measures in place to ensure the safety of guests and staff. We will be expanding on these and ensure further measures will be in place in readiness for reopening and in line with Government and hospitality guidelines. In order to ensure social distancing measures even before we were ordered to close we had closed our reception desk and were asking guests to register in their rooms. Going forward breakfast is likely to be on a slot basis so that we can minimise the numbers in our breakfast room and of course if the weather remains nice we can arrange breakfast outside. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact either Nicky of Rik on 01752 830484. We are of course taking future bookings so if you are looking to get away when things ease off please do not hesitate to give us a call.
As a result of this order we can only take key workers and if anyone wishes to stay at The Ivy Barn we will be asking for proof of identity and proof you are a key worker. We hope you understand as it is a criminal offence to allow anyone else to stay during this period.
If you have a booking in May and June please bear with us as we will be contacting all guests who have a booking during this period. We are happy to transfer bookings to a later date in the year or even in 2021. We understand that you are likely to want to get away for a break once it is safe to do so and we are happy to transfer the deposit over to the new date.
We thank you for your support and look forward to welcoming you back when things get back to normal. In the meantime we hope you stay home and stay safe!
The Ivy Barn Bed and Breakfast is run by Husband and Wife team Rik and Nicky, it is a dog friendly B&B in the heart of a small, quiet, picture postcard village nestled in the beautiful South Hams countryside in South Devon. Rik and Nicky also run the village pub, The Mildmay Colours Inn which specialises in serving Devon Ale and Cider.

RECENT REVIEWS
Some lovely reviews from guests.
Beautifully presented and a very quiet location
Lovely place - clean and comfy.
A little off the beaten track, however, once in the village - very nice.
Mark- December 2019
Wonderful B and B run by wonderful people
Comfortable and warm accommodation with lots of little touches that make this such a pleasant place to stay. Quiet location but ideally placed for exploring further afield. Rick and Nicky are really friendly, always keen to make sure your stay is pleasant and they have lots of local knowledge. The breakfast is superb and full of local produce. At night remember to look up, lack of light pollution means a fantastic display of stars on a clear night. We will be back.
Nothing to dislike.

Friendly hosts in a cute converted barn
My mother, daughter, and I recently stayed in the family suite for two nights. The rooms were immaculate, the beds comfortable, the breakfast delicious, and the hosts were kind and interesting people. I highly recommend this quaint bed and breakfast in this very beautiful part of Devon.

Lovely bed and breakfast in Devon village
Wonderful being in the center of Holbeton. Room was very comfortable and suited our needs for 5 nights perfectly. Owners and dog Merlin are very welcoming and give helpful advice about things to do and places to see in the area. Breakfast was excellent. Look forward to returning!
