We stayed in September 2025 and went back March 2026 because Rock Barn is such a lovely place to stay. We are a multi-generation party of 7 adults with 3 dogs. The location is peaceful with the beautiful sound of birdsong. We would stay again.

Really lovely barn, which photos do not really do justice. The place is huge and ideal for family gatherings. Kitchen was well equipped and we managed to cook plenty of meals for 10 people. Walk to pub takes around 45 minutes, which is great on a dry day! It took a while for the barn to warm up but once it had is was very cosy although heating in bRead moreedrooms wasn't working when we stayed, so we just left all doors open for the warm air from downstairs to circulate.

Lovely barn conversion in a very pretty part of Dartmoor. There were 10 of us and the kitchen, seating arrangements and bedrooms were ideal. Obviously we loved the pool table & table tennis.
