  • Charming, rural countryside barn conversion located within Dartmoor National Park with walks and treks in abundance
  • Located on the edge of Dartmoor 2 miles from the town of Tavistock
  • The perfect romantic getaway in a fantastic location at the foot of White Tor
Property code: HGARD

This delightful studio apartment in a stunning barn conversion makes a great base for those who are keen to explore the dramatic landscape of Dartmoor National Park and beyond. Surrounded by gorgeous countryside, it’s easy to sit back, enjoy the tranquillity and forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life. With plenty of scenic walks from your doorstep, you’ll never get bored, but there is still a variety of shops, pubs and restaurants in historic, market town, Tavistock, which is only 4 miles away.

One of two apartments in this conversion, this property is situated on the ground floor. Inside, neutral colours and warm tones have been used throughout to make the whole place seem light, airy and spacious, whilst contemporary furniture allows the most to be made of the space available. At one end of the apartment is the bedroom area which flows directly into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with a small step separating the two. There is one shower room with a heated towel rail. Outside, there is a private patio area with seating to allow guests to soak up the fresh, country air. There is also a large, shared garden with BBQ.

Dartmoor is perfect for those who enjoy exploring by foot with places like Lydford Gorge (9 miles) providing particularly stunning walks. There are also opportunities for those who enjoy cycling, with the Devon Cycle Network passing within one mile of the property. For something more historical, the National Trust’s Castle Drogo, a 1920s Art Deco castle, is worth the drive (27 miles) with attractive gardens and grounds to wander around. There are lots of other picturesque towns and villages to explore within the National Park.

Very nice, comfortable, and well equipped. We came with our dog and the open plan aspect provided plenty of room. We also enjoyed a relaxing coffee on the deck of the large and mostly secure garden. If your fog is pretty well behaved this is a great place to stay

This is a lovely, cosy apartment, very clean and well equipped. The location is delightful and so peaceful. The garden space is really useful if you have dogs, but also for sitting outside with a drink and a book. This was our second visit to the property and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We had a great time. This apartment is so comfortable and in a really quiet spot. Everything provided that you might want in the kitchen and the shower was excellent. Highly recommend, particularly for access to Dartmoor, we walked every day bar one when rain stopped play. The bed was large and comfortable, could have been sleeping alone!

Lovely accommodation. What a great place to stay. Couldn't have asked for more. All needs met and more. Great location for exploring surrounding countryside and coast. Proprietors couldn't have been more thoughtful with what was proved in our accommodation, and their guidance for local walks and places to visit. Would definately recommend.

It was our first time staying at this property and we will definitely be back. The cottage provided everything we needed for our long weekend stay. We even had a lemon drizzle cake left for us by the owners which was a lovely touch. The views from the grounds of the property were incredible and we loved every minute of our stay. Thank you!

Comfortable and welcoming apartment with plenty of equipment. Great position for getting to the moor and coast but the typical narrow Devon country lanes may be a bit daunting to some. We don't generally revisit properties but this one would be on our list if we did. Great holiday, thanks.

Lovely apartment. The owner goes above and beyond with what they supply. Very warm and cosy, excellent hot shower. There is a great area a little walk from apartment for dogs to walk. We made the mistake of thinking that the patio outside our bedroom door was ours to use for the our dogs last thing at night toilet break but it's not.

Secluded holiday cottage , very peaceful surroundings only 5 minutes drive from the village pub and 15 from Tavistock. Dinner reservation is essential as they are always very busy and serve delicious food . Walking through the village we found a corner next to the pub where you could get fresh eggs and local honey every morning, add some fresh toasRead moret and coffee and we got the best breakfast in a long time.
