Bagtor Granary
Description
Bagtor Granary, a beautifully presented three-bedroom barn conversion, is located at Bagtor Barton, just outside of Ilsington, Devon; this beef farm has been in the same family for five generations. Bagtor Granary provides a beautiful home for a family of six, complete with a stylish décor and a private hot tub. A charming setting within the Dartmoor National Park, providing easy, off-road and private walking access to the moor. After parking up, enter your new home-away-from home and begin in the welcoming living area featuring a leather corner sofa, a Smart TV, and a woodburning stove, which provides the ideal place to unwind after a long day of travelling. Enter the roomy kitchen/diner where you can prepare meals and assemble as a family, furnished with cutting-edge appliances and dining space for six guests. Enjoy a relaxing soak in the private hot tub as you watch the sun set over Devon, before heading upstairs and past the custom chandelier, to one of the three luxurious bedrooms.
Choose between the master king-size with a Smart TV and convenient en-suite shower room, a second king-size, and a bunk room with handmade, oak frames. After a leisurely morning soak in the opulent free-standing copper bath, head out of the farm, onto Dartmoor, where the cattle graze freely around Haytor Rocks in the summer.
Spot calves and lambs depending on the time of year or arrange with the owners to meet the animals. When you're ready to go exploring, head to Ilsington for the closest amenities before discovering Haytor Rocks or the lovely surroundings of Becky Falls Ancient Woodland Park. Venture further into Dartmoor to visit Widecombe-in-the-Moor a pretty thatched hamlet, with a 14th century church approached via winding country lanes: enjoy lunch or afternoon tea at the Café on the Green or sample the local ale at the famous Rugglestone Inn. While the Stover Country Park is an excellent setting for a family walk and picnic, the Dartmoor Whisky Distillery is perfect for the adults in your group; here, you can sample some local fare and take a tour. By car reach Newton Abbot, where you'll find additional amenities and the opportunity to attend one of the many race days held at Newton Abbot Races, before continuing to the coast, where Meadfoot Beach, Paignton Beach, and Torquay Beach are well-liked options for their expansive, family-friendly settings. Visit Bagtor Granary to enjoy both the coast and the countryside.

What guests are saying
My sisters and I had a fantastic short break at the Granary.
The welcome hamper was a wonderful addition and just what we needed on arrival in Devon. The facilities, including hot tub, were all excellent. Thank you!
On arrival, the host carol was not expecting us and so the accommodation was not ready.
Carol appeared flustered and said she had not had a email from Sykes about our booking.She admitted the accommodation needed a deep clean and she was right . Sykes did not acknowledge our complaint that (according to Carol) our booking had not been communicated to her leading to a very uncomfortable start to our holiday. The cottage is conveniently located for both Dartmoor and Teignmouth and we enjoyed that aspect. But overall we found the cottage disappointing- not only was it in need of a deep clean there was obvious neglect , especially the outside area around the hot tub. What was most disappointing was the windows from the main bedroom and landing which were boarded up preventing air and light. We understand it’s a working farm and so having the windows open could pose a problem to any animals therefore why not put in sky lights? I think it’s important to add that although what is described is more or less accurate ( apart from cleanliness) it’s more about what isn’t said- the outside seating and hot tub are not private- the cottage faces a working farmyard and cottages so there’s no privacy and the lack of light and fresh air ventilation upstairs due to windows being boarded up.
We had a wonderful stay at Bagtor Granary.
It was exactly what we needed - quiet, beautifully furnished and relaxing. Everyone was so accommodating and friendly! The fact it was on a working farm didn’t bother us at all, in fact it was wonderful and our two young girls absolutely loved it. They got to see a range of different animals and even fed a baby lamb its bottle! We would definitely recommend and would love to come back again soon!
