Have been coming to Fingals for over 30 years and always prefer to come here where you have all the conveniences and facilities but none of the fussiness of most hotels. Great for kids that want to enjoy the swimming pool and games room but also close to towns like Dartmouth and Totnes. Richard and Shelia, who run the place, are very hospitable and considerate.
We stayed at The Barn while attending a pottery course at next door Coombe Farm studios. It couldn’t have suited us better, literally 20 seconds outside our back door to the studios!

We enjoyed a magical weekend at Fingals at the end of the summer. The wisteria suite was perfect for us, our two children and our dog, and had everything we needed.

The premises are full of unusual art, statues and decor and there are book/games and suggestions for walks and activities. Sheila and Richard are very helpful and attentive. We went for lovely local runs and walks, played pool, swam in the pool, played tennis and visited Ditttisham (book a table at the Anchorstone Cafe) and Da...more
Barberry Brook was warm and peaceful. The bath is quite difficult to access but the bed was comfortable and there is a lovely stream running outside. The location is beautiful so can recommend this for a peaceful stay in a lovely part of Devon.
