I have never felt compelled to write a review about a multiplex cinema before, I generally find you…read moreget exactly what you expect. However here this is not the case, initially I was frustrated that there is no on site parking, there is no ticket booth (bit of an issue if you want to encourage people to buy tickets), nor are there any signs up to inform you of any prices or deals on confectionery. I asked and they do combo deals but since there were no prices I'm not sure if I came out with a cheaper deal or not. All this is merely an inconvenience and doesn't ultimately ruin a cinema experience, what makes the experience is the film, if you can in fact hear it that is. For the 120 minutes I attempted to watch Keira Knightly pout her way through another corseted number (don't judge me), all I could hear was the dramatic music and explosions of the next door action film. Screens that aren't sound proof, bit of a big problem... must be improved!

Tickets are not cheap, and food and drink is very highly priced so try to sneak your own in ;) Seats are comfy enough and I have never personally found the volume to be too low, picture is clear and the 3D movies are great. There is no on site parking, but paid car parks and street parking is close by. All in all a good cinema experience

The blurb:…read more The Barn Cinema is an independent cinema situated in a renovated 14th century barn within the grounds of the beautiful Dartington Hall estate, near Totnes. The Barn runs a wide-ranging film programme , including independent arthouse, world and mainstream cinema, seven days a week as well as a children's matinee programme on Saturday afternoons. Cinema choice can be quite limiting in Torbay where only the mainstream Hollywood movies are in abundance. The Barn Cinema at Dartington Hall has been a wonderful find to say the least and so far we have managed to see Blindness, Cypher and Planet Terror. Okay so slightly more mainstream than independent, but these films would have probably involved trips to either Exeter or Plymouth. The seating may not be especially comfortable and could well benefit an upgrade, however they may be constrained by the heritage nature of their venue, and as such loses one star. Don't expect your average multiplex with their cheap popcorn and drinks, this is a more discerning cinema. Couple with a meal at the White Hart, this makes for a great night out at the movies.

Our nearest city cinema is about 40 minute drive away - and about 40 miles. The cinema is located near the top of the high street - it has 1 screen!! Which does not have amazing sound or amazing screen. The decor is art decor - truly and the reception is always welcoming with a big smile. Expect to either go and be one a few to be in the cinema or prepare to book if it is a blockbuster French Lieutenant Woman et al If you are in Lyme and it is raining - go to the cinema it will be a experience that you will enjoy even if the film is no good..

Delighted that this cinema has re-opened after being closed for several years…read more The Rebel has been refurbished and now has a much improved sound system. One big screen and very comfy seats. Good selection of refreshments; clean toilet facilities. Shows a variety of mainstream movies on general release, with clever timetabling so that there's a good selection of films throughout the week. Recommend prebooking at busy times, esp in holidays as it can get very busy. The car park can also be crowded, so worth sharing a car if you can. VERY pleased to have a local cinema back again. Congrats all round.
