We had a very nice stay. The bungalow is set out very well and is also suitable for anyone with disabilities as it can be accessed by ramps. Plenty of parking for two vehicles. The location is great with views out to Dartmoor. Very peaceful. Great to be able to relax after going on day trips. Would consider staying there again.

This was our fifth visit to this property still amazed how tranquil the property is with lovely views over towards Dartmoor. Steve & Tracy keep the place spotless a right home from home plus always making improvements to the property this year put in additional car parking which is a lot flatter than original plus trying to make the garden larger (Read moreif the bird leave the grass seed alone) Hide

This was our second visit and the bungalow had been tastefully refurbished. Again, we came for a complete rest, and it delivered in a comfortable way. Saw deer, rabbits, beautiful birds, pheasants and 4 squirrels which kept us entertained. The bungalow is surrounded by fields and the garden has been extended. It seems in the middle of no where but Read moreis only a few minutes' drive to the town. Hide

Photos dont do the bungalow justice, its very comfortable, has everything you need & great for someone not so good on their feet. Only a mile down a lane from Newton Abbot, yet beautiful views across the fields to rolling hills. Location gives easy access to many lovely places within half an hour, 3/4 hour to Dartmouth. Would love to return.

This was our second time at Rydon Ball. We loved it so much we went back. Its such a calming peaceful cottage with great views and very cosy and comfy to stay in. There is a lot to do in the local area, and lots of shops and eateries near by. The renovations to the bathrooms and bedrooms were lovely, and really well done. Thank you

Secluded and peaceful just as we wanted but still well located for loads of amenities and attractions. Lots of places for dog walks. A couple of nice novelties in terms of very fresh fish from owner's fish monger business at the end of the drive and fresh milk from the station near buy; you'll need 50p for a flavour shot! Added to our favourite lisRead moret. Many thanks Hide
