The Glasshouse is a stunning, architect-designed, self-contained, annexe to an impressive Victorian villa nestling above Dartmouth and enjoying spectacular views of the River Dart from its impressive, almost entirely glazed front aspect.
The Glasshouse nestles on a hillside just 10 minutes walk from the very picturesque Georgian harbour town of Dartmouth. Known as one of the UK's most popular yachting havens, the town boasts a great selection of independent boutiques, bistros, cafes and convenient shops along its pretty cobbled streets. Boat trips depart regularly from its marina which is backed by a hotel with a luxurious little spa offering lovely treats for frazzled mums.

Hello! Barrington House is our family home which we love to share with visitors. We have owned the house for over 10 years and spent 5 of those years lovingly and patiently restoring the house and turning it into a fantastic holiday letting business. We have 3 separate holiday homes available - The Penthouse, The Glasshouse and The Hideaway . All 3 properties are set within the grounds of Barrington House but are all very private, each with their own style and distinctive features. The one thing they all have in common is that they all provideluxury accommodation to families.
Having 3 children ourselbes we know what it is like to holiday with children and how important it is that where you stay is as good if not better than where you live. Holidays are special and should be stress free in every way. Happy children means happy parents so we provide as many things as possible to make everybody happy!

We absolutely loved The Glasshouse. The situation is amazing, the property is beautifully furnished and decorated, and the service and recommendations given by Sarah were first class. We would definitely return to the Glasshouse,and are more than happy to recommend.Review dated 25/06/2013
The Glasshouse certainly has the WOW factor. It's a gorgeous base to explore the delights of Devon. The house boasts stunning views down across the town and water.
Our 6 month old son loved it and - for the times we were 'housebound' while he was sleeping - it was a pleasure to be there.Review dated 28/04/2013
Absolutely stunning property furnished with no expense spared. All the mod cons and everything you need for the little ones too.
Highly recommended for a relaxing break.Review dated 20/04/2013
We stayed here in March for my birthday with our 4 year old twins and 7 month old son and had a fabulous time despite the varying weather. The house is beautiful and has everything you could possibly need including lots of toys to keep all our boys entertained.
Dartmouth and the surrounding area has so much to offer and we visited some lovely places including a boat trip down the river Dart, a walk around the model village in Babbacombe, Pennywell farm (and got to hold a week old micro pig) painted some plates at China Blue and visited a fair few of the fabulous beaches. Always something to do no matter what the weather (we had rain, snow, fog and sun!) Totally family friendly and would love to come back and visit again and have already recommended to my friends.Review dated 12/04/2013
Firstly the owner was very accomodating with dats, as we needed to change from our origianl booking to a new date - this was done without any query or hassle.
The little touches with toys and bedroom accessories made our son feel very much at home and made for a very happy holiday.
Many thanks form us all.Review dated 01/03/2013
