Ritson Farm wraps its arms around the abundance of wildlife, with a garden that welcomes many species of birds and a neighbouring field of donkeys and chickens. Stunning views of the surrounding countryside and ample space for all the family to eat al fresco or, for those chillier evenings, the family dining area in the beautiful conservatory. Perfect for big family holidays in the English Riviera, Ritson Farm is close to award-winning beaches, Woodlands Leisure Park, Totnes, and Dartmouth.

So comfortable

This was our second stay at Ritson Farm. Walking back through the door was a joy, especially when greeted with fresh flowers, eggs and a basket of home grown fruit and vegetables. The large kitchen-diner is perfect for a big family group, although you do have to be comfortable cooking on a Rayburn. Bedrooms are very well appointed and comfortable, and the large lounge with a selection of comfy chairs and sofas is fantastic. Added this year was a garden room in place of the old conservatory and this was a lovely improvement, with views over the flower-filled garden. But my favourite thing about Ritson Farm may seem a strange choice- it’s the huge utility room off the entrance hall! Wetsuits, swimming gear, bikes and boots all go in here and with a big sink and a drying rack it’s so easy to keep any mess out of the house, making for a much more relaxing holiday.



A wonderful week

Ritson Farm is a stunning property with plenty of space for large families. We were 6 adults and 2 young grandchildren. The pretty garden is peaceful and secure with rural views. Ritson Farm is in a rural setting yet close to several beaches, Dartmouth, Totnes and Salcombe are also a short drive. Owners are close by if any questions or issues. We would definitely stay again



Lovely house,to stay at for a large group or family,

We visited Ritson Farm in April and were blessed with wonderful weather.
Tastefully furnished spacious well planned accommodation, it provided our family of grand parents, parents and four grandchildren with privacy when needed and a huge farmhouse kitchen and conservatory in which to enjoy together time.
Well equipped kitchen and utility room. Five pretty bedrooms with comfortable beds and linen. Three large bathrooms, two with showers and one with bath so a choice for everyone. Handy downstairs cloakroom.
We, grandparents were nicely tucked away on the ground floor with en-suite facilities. Very peaceful.
Everywhere immaculately clean. Debbie added some nice little extras which were much appreciated.
Lovely waymarked countryside walks from the door. Within easy reach of the coast and pretty villages and towns. Dartmouth and Salcombe simply stunning. No time in a week to discover it all but we hope to return one day.
Fantastic views, birdsong from every window and visiting wildlife made this a truly memorable family holiday.



Comfortable, great location, peaceful, all facilities provided even good weather!

We, two families and two grandparents traveled the breadth of England from Norfolk to Devon with some torrid traffic along the way to Ritson Farm a place we had never stayed at so there was excitement but prepared for a reality check. We need not have worried as Ritson was such a relaxing place to stay at. With four boys and six adults we never felt like we were tripping over each other.

Light and airy, a garden just big enough for some games and a super kitchen-diner made for easy living and coped with the bustle of holiday life. The upstairs bedroom and bathrooms were a perfect combination for our two families whilst grandparents occupied the ground floor bedroom, the latter proving to be a relatively quiet location.

I will mention three adverse points but these in no way would put us off from booking again. Firstly, the dishwasher was rubbish, we practically serviced this three times clearing spray arms etc, perhaps better quality tablets than those provided might help. Secondly the ground floor bed is a double and for us too small. Finally, the flies. Ok Ritson is surrounded by farmland so flies sort of go with the territory but what a pain. Now back to the good stuff. Ritson is far from the madding crowds which is great yet its location is super for so many locations in the South Hams whether beaches, river towns of sea resorts.

Ritson is a warm, welcoming house with nice arty touches. It swallowed our tribe and coped with a full on holiday frenzy, Well done, yes right on, yes Ritson!



A wonderful week

Ritson Farm felt like home from the moment we arrived. The living room is so relaxing and the kitchen a beautiful place to cook and eat. Kitchen was very well equipped and the whole house felt bigger than we’d expected, down to the lovely entrance hall to the enormous utility room which was fantastic for storing bags, doing washing and keeping our bikes. Upstairs was brilliant for the extended family, one family on one side of the staircase with 2 bedrooms and bathroom and same again on the other side. The little ones loved visiting the donkeys and the walk from the door down to the river and through the fields was idyllic. Great location for beaches, pubs and local sights. Thanks Debbie for your help when our car battery died! Hope to return.

We had a lovely family holiday at Ritson Farm
It is a beautiful, well appointed, spacious house, and all the five bedrooms are a good size. The communal areas are also very comfortable and the whole house is very well maintained. It has a large utility room which was really useful when we came back from the beach. The kitchen is large with pretty blue painted units, and if you like to cook it has all the kitchen equipment that you would require.
The garden is really pretty and a lovely place to spend time. There is a lovely large patio with a big table and benches, and we ate outside every evening which was lovely. My only criticism would be there were not enough comfortable garden chairs for 10 adults to “lounge” in and spend time comfortably all together.
The location is great for easy access to Totnes, Dartmouth and Kingsbridge and all the beaches in that surrounding area. There were also some lovely walks across the fields directly from the house which we really enjoyed.
We had a lovely week, thank you.

I saw the pictures of this property on the website, but held reservations because they often show the best bits and no negative points. However on arrival this property exceeded all my expectations. It is well equipped and the owners of the property were on hand without being in any way intrusive .
Perfect for adults and children we had a fabulous week with our 2 sons, their wives and 3 grandchildren. The house is spacious with a good sized garden.
We spent a week there in June 2021 and it certainly ranks amongst our best holiday destinations.
Many thanks to owners Richard and Debbie.

Covid destroyed plans for my entire family of 6 adults and two infants going to Tuscany.
Glad , in the end , that it did as we found this great secluded farmhouse. Clean as could be wished for. comfortably accommodating us all. Great terrace and nice garden. Very well equipped . Only minor quibble the mattress in the second double bedroom was a bit hard, but after a good ay out it did not prevent us sleeping. Nice sitting room .
A safe location if young children involved .
I hope we might return -if the owners who were generally about, as it is their home on their farm, will have us!



Stunning house with many extras!

We have just had a fantastic week at Ritson Farm. The house itself was beautiful with plenty of space for 10 people. The location was excellent- so close to Dartmouth, Dittisham, Salcombe and Kingsbridge . The fresh flowers, food basket and veggie box were lovely extras as were the dog treats. Thank you

We stayed at Ritson farm last week. The accommodation has everything you need for a very comfortable week self catering. With one of its bedrooms downstairs it's ideal for anyone taking an older family member. The adjoining bathroom is huge with a walk in shower.

The kitchen has a massive fridge/freezer and opposite is a massive utility room with a further large fridge and under unit freezer.

Hot water is plentiful and the beds very comfortable. We found the duvets hot and heavy but in fairness the weather was excessively hot. The opportunity to eat out on the covered patio and have a BBQ was particularly pleasant overlooking the beautiful garden with donkeys and their foals in the field behind. Both Debbie and Richard, who own the property and live near by, were very kind and helpful. We hope to go back.



Family united!

It suited us perfectly: ground floor bedroom and bathroom for me (granny) - calm and quiet; one family and child on one side of the landing; the other with 9 week baby + 2 boys 3 and 6 on the other. A bathroom each - couldn't be better. Lovely terrace and garden; utterly lovely countryside. Furnishing family-oriented and comfortable. Household equipment all good.

Spacious house for large group . Great to have outdoor space in the garden. Owners responded quickly to problem with electric car charger and were really friendly. Shame one shower was broken as we had chosen a 3 bathroom house for a 3 family group but the are 2 other showers. Bed in downstairs bedroom made very loud creaking noise but mentioned this to owner who said they would look into it. Lots of seating space which was good. Could have been cleaner - lots of cobwebs. In a beautiful area with stunning beaches and walks nearby but lovely and quiet in remote spot if you prefer a quiet time. Would recommend it.

The house is a good size and layout with everything you would need to stay as a group. Beautiful garden and great opportunity to watch the many birds coming to feed outside. Good location, secluded but not too remote and close to beaches and interesting towns. The owners were very friendly and came to help us out quickly when we called with a question. The perfect place for our staycation :)

We created wonderful memories at Ritson Farm with 3 generations and a dog! It was very comfortable and perfect for a large family. Location was great - close enough to towns and the coast. Facilities were excellent. It had everything any family could possibly need, including a boules set for the garden and a dog kit for your four legged friend!

We were really impressed with this lovely house, which felt more like a home than a holiday let. It is situated in rural surroundings
with far reaching views of the beautiful Devon hills with a field of donkeys at the end of the garden and chickens wondering around.

We loved Ritson Farm. A great space for 3 generations to stay. The farm has a real homely feel often lacking in holiday rentals.

We all had lots of space to relax. Kids loved the animals you can see and hear from the house. It had all the things we needed from a well stocked kitchen to logs in the basket. Our problem with working the range was sorted asap.

It is also a great location for visiting lots of places Dartmouth, Totnes, Salcombe.

All in all a lovely place and we throughly enjoyed our stay.

Many thanks
