    “We have been coming to Dartmoor for years and this has to be one of our favourite properties.”

    Beautifully maintained grounds which we were free to explore, and the interior light, spacious and spotless. Very quiet surroundings with plenty of bird life and some superb walking right from the door. Tavistock is about 10 mins drive with a fabulous indoor market and the moor an easy drive from there. We will definitely be returning and would recommend Cholwell Barn to anyone thinking of exploring Dartmoor.
