  • Charming, rural countryside barn conversion located within Dartmoor National Park with walks and treks in abundance
  • The perfect romantic getaway in a fantastic location at the foot of White Tor for views
  • A few miles from the attractive market town of Tavistock
Property code: HIGHM

This delightful first floor apartment in a stunning barn conversion makes an ideal base for those wanting to explore the rugged, rural landscape of Dartmoor National Park and beyond. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, it’s easy to immerse yourself in the tranquillity and adopt the slower pace of life that you’d expect in the Devon countryside. With lots of scenic walks from your doorstep, you’ll never get bored, but historic, market town, Tavistock, is only 4 miles away with a range of shops, pubs and restaurants.

One of two apartments in this conversion, this property is situated on the first floor and accessed via an external flight of stairs. Inside, the tastefully decorated open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner provides plenty of usable space for two guests. The contemporary style used throughout creates a light and airy feel, making it the perfect environment for relaxing. The double bedroom is once again contemporary and spacious, with its neutral tones making it feel restful. Outside the property, there is a small, private patio with garden furniture, which is a great place to sit and soak up the fresh country air. There is also a large, shared garden with BBQ.

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

Beautiful cosy cottage, lovely equipped barn , everything you need if you need to cook a few times. JO & Jack was always on hand if you needed them . Beautiful setting for location , but need a car to get around . Pub little to far to walk back in the evenings. But it didn't stop us for enjoying our stay ...

Great position with walks from the door provided you are ok with hills! You can find flattish walks nearby with great views. Local pub is friendly and reasonably priced...just a mile away but down a pretty steep narrow hill so you might prefer to drive

Lovely accommodation, views and garden area perfect. Made to feel welcome. Tea towels, clothes, coffee provided, although we didn't use as had packed our own (not all cottages are catered for equally). Perfect place for us to use as a base to visit friends and family. Would have no trouble recommending.

The barn is located in a beautiful setting, peaceful and quiet yet not far from all the amenities in Tavistock. The property was very clean, with pristine white linen and towels, and all the equipment and utensils you could need, even a hair dryer and straighteners. Despite having rainy days and even snow one night, the property was cosy and warm aRead morend we had an amazing few days. There are plenty of cushions and throws if you just want to curl up with a book and not go anywhere! Hide

The Barn is absolutely wonderful, very relaxing and peaceful. It is very well equipped to the highest standard and the bed was much more comfortable than the one we have at home! During our stay we felt very at home and even Eos, our nervous dog, settled in very well. We were sorry to be leaving but we will return as soon as we can, if only to see Read morethe stars in the completely dark sky. Good WiFi and a great pub a 30 minute walk away. I wholeheartedly recommend it. Perfect holiday home. Hide
