Meader Barn

Meader Barn is a great place to stay, very well equipped, cosy and in a beautiful location with easy access on to Dartmoor.

Communication with the owners is excellent. The birds and sheep are a bonus. See you next year. Thank you Julia, Jon & Gwen

Lovely spacious, clean property with a great view out to Gibbet Hill and Brent Tor.

Easy access to the moors for some yomping. Lovely hosts, would recommend. Just watch out for the potholes coming up the track!

Really happy with the accommodation at Meader Barn for a week over Christmas, and a nice touch to have a real Christmas tree in the living room.

The only slight drawback for us was the road up to the property which we knew was going to be narrow and bumpy. Although manageable, we were relieved it wasn’t icy as the weather that week was colder than expected. Overall, we were comfortable in the property and enjoyed our stay. Many thanks to the owners.

Meader Barn is outstanding!

Set in beautiful surroundings away from everything but nature. Fantastic walks right on the doorstep, with moors, livestock, streams and waterfalls. The accommodation is beautifully set out with bright airy feel with a luxury feel. Plenty of games and dvds to choose from too when the weather draws in. We had an exceptional stay and will definitely be returning next year, thank you Meader Barn for taste of tranquility and paradise. All the best The Steers

We loved staying here.

Such a beautiful barn, super clean and well furnished, the bed was really comfortable. The owners next door couldn’t have been more helpful. This place is down as one to go back to.

Really remote location, which is what we wanted.

Great cottage, clean and well equipped . Great location for Tavistock and Dartmoor. May we suggest that oven gloves and baking trays for the kitchen would be a good idea.

We had a lovely stay in Meader Barn.

A beautiful location and Meader was very clean and well equipped.

Spent a lovely week at Meader.

Very remote so wonderfully quiet and peacful. Ellen (host) very helpful. Fantastic views all around.

A beautiful tranquil stay, tucked away on the edge of Dartmoor but still within easy reach of pubs, shops, amenities etc if needed.

It was clean and comfortable. Stunning sunsets in the evening and great access to the moorland and surrounding countryside. Fantastic for walking, running, biking and riding as well as just chilling with a good book. Thank you.

Slice of heaven, beautiful views.

Owners couldn't do enough....

Meader Barn is a lovely peaceful holiday property.

Cosy and very well equipped in a superb farm location for walking on to the tors. The lambs, sheep and birds are great. Our dog also had a fantastic time too! Thank you

Meader Barn was a delightful place to stay.

It was extremely quiet and had beautiful moorland views and walks from the door. The barn itself is spacious, with comfortable sofas and beds. We will definitely be back for a further visit, hopefully bringing friends who could stay in the smaller, 2 person barn next door.

Meader barn is a beautiful property set in a stunning location.

We loved our short break here despite the weather on one day we still had lots to do at the barn as it was well stocked with games and dvds. The children loved it with lots of space to play. The barn was spotlessly clean, comfy and well equipped. A perfect place for a family or small group to stay and a stunning location.

Amazing setting and a spacious well equipped barn conversion.

The views are spectacular. The fresh eggs and biscuits were a welcome treat on arrival. Great walks straight from the property and several dog friendly pubs serving excellent food on the doorstep. A peaceful location. We enjoyed the adventure of tackling the steep route to the farm. Take your time and it’s fine. Well worth the trip!

A lovely cottage in a beautiful spot.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Meader Barn. The light, airy property had everything I needed. The eggs left as a welcome treat were so tasty! There were walks onto the moor straight from the property and lots of pretty villages to explore in the vicinity. The area was very quiet and there were few people around - which is my goal when I have this kind of break from work! I didn’t think the lane up to the farm was too bad - I would happily accept a slightly bumpy, narrow lane to get the stunning 360 degree views this property offers. The dogs and I will definitely return

We had a delightful stay in Meader Barn.

It was beautifully maintained, comfortable, with stunning views. It was a real treat to be right up on the moor, with ancient stone circle huts a short walk up White Tor behind us. Our dog absolutely loved it too! I can't rate it highly enough. Other reviewers have mentioned the road up to the accommodation. Yes it is steep and with considerable potholes, as were many of the other roads we travelled on throughout Dartmoor. The owners have given fair warning of this, so if you choose to go for this location, be prepared. We found it a great adventure!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

It's so quiet and so peaceful, genuinely did not want to leave. The property has everything you need and it's beautifully presented, warm, cozy and comfy. I do hope we can go back one day.

My husband and I had a very lovely stay at Meader Barn with our 2 small dogs.

The barn was very comfortable, spacious and had all amenities. Yes the approach to the barn is narrow and a bit rough in places but as long as you take your time it’s okay. We were able to walk straight onto Dartmoor and see the magnificent views around. Ellen, the owner, was very pleasant and friendly who made sure we were okay with everything. We certainly enjoyed our stay very much and so we will certainly be returning for another break in the not too distant future.

Had a lovely stay at Meader Barn, the view from the rear is stunning!

The only thing we could possibly comment on is the steps in to the downstairs bedroom and bathroom could be highlighted in some way to make them more visible at night. The country lanes to access the property are very narrow but fine if you take it slowly.

Meader Barn was such a lovely place with easy access to Dartmoor walks.

Ellen was the perfect host. Would thoroughly recommend a stay here. Already booked again for early 2025.

The drive up to the lodge had a lot of pot holes and the hedge was overgrown.

However when we arrived at the lodge it was very comfortable had a relaxing time with beautiful views.

I highly recommend this barn for a quiet stay in lovely surroundings, excellent also for a small dog, cannot rate this barn enough hope to stay again soon lovely owners

Lovely location and clean, spacious property.

Teething problems were quickly resolved. Although we'd read about the narrow lane full of potholes leading to the farm, we thought this was probably an exaggeration and would be fine in our 4WD. The lane is really bad though and by the last few days of our holiday we were desperate not to drive up or down it any more! A few of the worst potholes could be easily filled to make this better.

A very nice property in a lovely quiet location.

The view from.the lounge/garden is stunning. Positives - the cottage had everything we needed and was very comfortable and welcoming. There are lots of lovely walks and interesting places close by. Tavistock is a gem of a town and very welcoming and dog friendly. Negatives - the garden is not dog proof so be prepared to use a lead unless your dog has perfect recall. Ours are pretty good but it was still a concern. The WiFi is awful. We counldnt use most of the time but mobile signal is OK. As advised the access isn't suitable.for some vehicles. It is a long single track drive which is rough in places but OK if you approach with caution. No worse than some of the roads!

The property was great location for the walking we wanted to do.

The property itself was homely, clean and comfy with everything we needed. Beautiful living space! The road up to it was ok for our VW campervan. Really enjoyed our week!

Meander Barn was everything it was described as.

Lovely comfortable and spotlessly clean.Lots of space to move around and lovely views to enjoy.We will be back I’m sure .Barn was totally faultless i would highly recommend

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with our 2 dogs at Meader Barn, only wish we could have stayed longer!

The barn was spotlessly clean on our arrival and we loved the spacious interior layout and mezzanine bedroom which gave a really airy feel. The views from the garden were stunning and there's direct access on to the moors for walks. We also enjoyed a delicious meal at the local pub the Peter Tavy Inn - the pies are epic. Highly recommended and we would love to return for a longer stay next time.

We've done quite a few weekend visits in and around Dartmoor and stayed in places similar to Meader Barn.

However this place really stands out from the crowd. The spectacular views, welcoming hosts, amazing facilities along with clean, tidy and spacious living arrangements, it truly ticked all the boxes. It felt like being home from home and the fresh eggs that the owners left were delious and a lovely touch. This place is really special and one of the best we've stayed, we'll be sure to return in the not too distant future!

Meader Barn is an excellent property providing an outstanding family space to spend a holiday.

The rural location of the property is perfect for walking on the Moors and exploring with our children. We had a very warm welcome from the property owners and we have really enjoyed another family holiday.

Best property we have ever stayed in.

Spacious, clean, lots of natural light and warm. Lovely views out of the window. Off the beaten track a bit so very quiet. Beds comfy, didn’t sleep too well mainly due to torrential rain and wind pelting the cottage but then that would have been the same at home. Managed to see so much in a short space of time - Lyford Gorge, St. Michael’s Church on Brentor, Foggintor Quarry, Great Mis Tor, all within 15/20 min drive.

The place is wonderful and situated perfectly for walks into Dartmoor.

The interior is very well planned and beautiful in details. It has everything one needs, with comfort and style. The wood burner was not working at the time unfortunately, but will soon be again - I’m sure that will make it even more special. Ellen welcomed us with some eggs (amongst the best I’ve ever eaten), flowers and dog biscuits - thank you!

The barn is spacious, warm, has very comfortable beds, ample storage, good kitchen facilities, a smart TV and an excellent bathroom with a low bath and a separate shower enclosure.

The owners are friendly but not intrusive. and on hand should you need them. An enjoyable stay despite the rain most of the time

We had a great stay at Meader Barn.

Stunning views, great local walks and lovely hosts. We had everything we needed to enjoy our stay and felt right at home. Thank you :)

We loved our stay here, great remote location yet 15 mins from shops … a lovely place to relax and take some walks, our dog loved it also, very comfy bed and everything we needed to cook at “home” the hosts allowed us to use one of their fields to exercise our dog which was right outside the property and was fenced so he could run and run which he did !

I am sure we will return in the future we had a great 3 days. Thank you

Lovely getaway situated in an amazing place.

The views are amazing. The road to the property was no issue, some bits are a bit tight but it is very manageable, it is also a lovely drive down with the views infront of you. The owners are lovely, very responsive and will try their best to help with anything. The place was clean and had all utensils needed. The beds were very comfortable and gave a great night's sleep. Overall a lovely place to stay and would deffinatly recommend

We LOVED our stay at Meader.

It was spotlessly clean and well thought out. We loved the location which was very rural and this was exactly what we like. The nearness of the moor was wonderful which could be accessed from the farm gates. But the convenience of the easy journey to Tavistock for supplies and lovely canal/river walks was great. So many lovely dog walks in this area. The owners next door were very kind and attentive and worked hard to make us welcome and comfortable. We have no hesitation in recommending this property for outdoorsy kind of people who love quiet and nature.

The Owners were welcoming and friendly.

We did have a few issues which did get sorted although the oven took a week. The beds were comfortable and the barn was warm, the settees left a lot to be desired. The woodburner popped on top outside when lit even when the damper was closed definitely needs servicing. Worst thing is the road it is more potholes than road I can't see the council doing anything with this being a no through road when there are so many other roads needing attention, maybe they can try and do something themselves, there are no passing places and on meeting a land rover and trailer I had to reverse quarter of a mile until he could pass. It did stop us going back lunch time to go back out in afternoon as one bone shaker a day was quite sufficient.

Great property; spacious, bright and airy with lovely views.

Despite very cold weather the barn was warm throughout our stay and the log burner added to the cosy feel as the winds blew and temperature plummeted. This was our second visit and we will be sure to stay again next year.

We had a great stay at Meader.

Great property with everything we needed for our stay. Clean, warm and welcoming for humans and dogs. Loved it. Great location with easy access to walks from the door or just a short drive to stunning walks like Burrator reservoir or Bellever Tor/Forest all the more glorious with the autumn colours. Night sky is incredibly with low light pollution. Excellent food at the Peter Tavy Inn but it is a two mile, not one mile, up hill walk home. Perfect for walking off your meal but some may prefer to drive down and back.

Broadmoor Farm Meader is a fantastic property in a wonderful location.

The property was warm, extremely clean and had excellent facilities. All the rooms were a great size and the layout of the property is sympathetic to a holiday/stay on Dartmoor. The view from all around the property is amazing with some fantastic Dartmoor walks direct from the doorstep. Also, the owners had a lovely welcome pack waiting for us. We had a great week at Meader.

Fourth time at Broadmoor Farm and we love it.

So comfortable and peaceful, a real home from home. The fact that you can walk right out onto the moors is a big plus for us but also, Tavistock is not that far away if you want shops, restaurants etc. Ellen and Jeff are great hosts - thank you for the biscuits, eggs and squash! Very sad to leave. Thank you again for another wonderful holiday at Meader. We'll be back!

Great property with great hosts.

Found nothing to dislike!

Meader Barn is lovely light flooded place in a great position on the Moor.

Perhaps worth warning people that it is v isolated - walking down to the pub in the evening is not really an option! Salt and pepper as two of the 'basics' would be good. Also no soap supplied in the upstairs bathroom! Otherwise no complaints - we had a lovely time - wonderful sunset one night and the Milky Way the next and loved to being able to walk right out onto the Moor.

Lovely property and location.

The perfect place to get away from it all to relax and unwind. Owners very nice and helpful.

It was so good to be back at Meader, White Tor Farm and have a total relaxing break with our dogs .

Beautiful walks right on the doorstep , very comfortable and warm , the owners are so welcoming and kind. Thankyou.

This stay by far exceeded my expectations.

The photos don’t do the accommodation justice, it was beautiful. When we opened the door we were wowed. The one thing I was upset about being away from home for Christmas was not having a Christmas tree, but to my surprise there had a beautiful tree set up in the living room which was beyond perfect. It was homely, spacious, cosy, with stunning views. Lovely local walks to take the dog. Only thing I will say is don’t underestimate the narrow roads around the area and road leading to the cottage, it’s bumpy, dark and quite a squeeze with a large 4x4 but it just made the journey even more exciting. Ellen and her partner were a delight. Definitely will be staying again.

Thank you Ellen this was a fantastically peaceful location, much appreciated by one of our dogs who hates noise.

The property was very well appointed. We're sure we had a ghostly visitor who kept turning on the TV whilst we were out, we had turned it off before going out honestly.

Great property.

We had a very enjoyable time despite the rainy days, as expected in November.

The barn was spacious, warm, clean and very comfortable. We loved the views and the constantly changing light and colours. It's a short walk into the open moor with amazingly beautiful landscape. Also a half hour, scenic walk on a quiet road to Peter Tavy Inn which serve delicious food! We had a wonderful week and would highly recommend staying at Broadmoor Farm. Thank you Ellen and Jeff.

Nice relaxing break in a lovely cottage.

This was our third stay at Broadmoor farm although previously we had stayed at the other property on the farm, Nestling, which is slightly smaller being only the two of us.

Decided this year to book Meader instead as it is larger, has a dishwasher (luxury as we don't have one at home!) and just more space to spread out. Really loved it, very comfortable and relaxing with everything we needed and have booked for next year already. The farm has to best of both worlds, stunning setting on the moors, really peaceful and great walks straight from the door but equally it is not that far from Tavistock and so easy to get around and access other places to do the tourist bit as well. Just perfect!

We had a lovely week at Meader.

Very peaceful and gorgeous views across the valley. We specifically like reasonably remote properties for the tranquility of our stay. The property was clean, comfortable and spacious for two and a medium sized dog. The owners were very friendly and made us feel welcome. The road into the property is a narrow single lane as described in the listing. There are a couple of pothole’s before your reach Broadmoor Farm and a little hedge/bramble trimming in places is required. However this did not hinder our stay at Meader and we would happily recommend this property and stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay in such a peaceful and comfortable cottage.

Very clean with everything we needed for a weeks stay. Powerful shower was nice! Lovely views from the garden. Thank you.

Really liked the open plan, light airy feel of Meader.

Peace and serenity sums it up for me. I felt totally relaxed and chilled there. Loved the 3 local rural pictures has you enter the front door and would have loved to have seen similar types on all the empty, vacant picture hangers throughout the property. Enjoyed great views but being a retired Gardener would have liked the huge fuschia bush to be cut down to stone wall level to access the wonder scenery from the bench table while having a coffee or glass of wine. Facilities were excellent but the oven shelving racks could do with a deep clean and a few of the oven trays replacing. All in all had a great time there.

We found everything as expected and to a very high standard.

Meader is spacious and contemporary and the owners have paid much attention to detail. For those wanting privacy there is plenty - it is only the adjoining garden to Nestling where you may meet your neighbours. This is a magical location and the scenery and views are breathtaking. Excellent pub (food) down the hill in Peter Tavy (Peter Tavy Inn) next to the Church.

very nice place but very far out from the road and facilities.

Lovely views and easy to access the moors.

Photos do not do this property justice, it's a beautiful, stunning location and a very spacious, comfortable and well equipped cottage, ideal for us and our dogs.

Friendly welcome from the owners who left us to enjoy ourselves but were always on hand. We will definitely be back.

Lovely cottage in a remote location made for the perfect week away.

Very comfortable cottage and everything we needed was there. Great access for walking the dogs on Dartmoor.

Excellent property friendly owners

We had such a lovely week at the cottage.

The owners were really pleasant and helpful when we arrived and when we needed to ask them anything. Other than that, they went about their business and left us to relax and enjoy our break. The cottage is probably the cleanest and most relaxing that we’ve been to with our dogs who also had a fab time using the paddock every day for charging about before sleeping for most of the day - and repeat! We enjoyed it so much as a quiet retreat we booked again before we’d left! Truly amazing location, quiet and friendly. The cottage itself was well equipped and the view from the open plan kitchen/dining and sitting room was wonderful!

The cottage is larger than the photos suggest (particularly the main living room / areas which is very spacious).

It was clean and very well supplied with good quality kitchenware. The heating and fire are great, so we were warm throughout our stay. The cottage is perfectly located for immediate walking access onto Dartmoor, with multiple Tors surrounding the property. Several supermarkets are 10 mins away. Some reviewers have mentioned the access road - yes it is narrow but there are passing points, no high hedges and crucially it only leads to the property - so the chances are encountering other vehicles is quite slim. The owners are very helpful. Highly recommended.

We love Dartmoor and only live in Somerset but sometimes driving both ways in one day is a bit much, so staying down here for a few days was just perfect - except for the weather.

Two named storms in one week? Come on. Dudley we coped with but Eunice we fled from and packed up a day early. The cottage was wonderful and dried us off perfectly after our drenchings. I can't think of anything else we would have needed. I've never sat in such a huge bath before and after a hard, wet day trudging the Moors a soak was just the thing for my old bones. Thank you for making our holiday perfect.

‘Heaven in Devon’ - this is a really wonderful cottage and location.

The layout is light, airy and spacious but with a really cosy and warm feel. We loved the wood burner and the views from the cottage were beautiful as were the stars in the sky at night. Our 2 dogs had a great time with easy access to local walks from the cottage as well as a huge selection of other walks in the Dartmoor National Park - all of which were a short drive away. The local pub the ‘Peter Tavy Inn’ was very friendly and served good food sourced locally. The owners of the cottage Ellen and Jeff could not have been more helpful or welcoming. This is a real gem and we will definitely be returning.

A very lovely holiday cottage unfortunately the weather was appalling which with a rather wet dog meant we had to keep him out of the main lounge most of the time because of the white sofas !

It would be a nightmare if he touched it with his dirty coat ? I'm glad we didn't have kids with sticky fingers

Lovely place to stay, fresh eggs from farm for breakfast, beautiful countryside, the cottage is gorgeous, owners are very welcoming.

Highly recommended

Beautiful, and very comfortable, converted barn on the edge of Dartmoor.

It was very wet and windy the first night we were there (thank you, Storm Arwen), but we were nice and cosy indoors. We loved the rural location, and the walks that we could access straight out the door - great for walking the dog first thing in the morning. Dartmoor is such a beautiful place. Jeff and Ellen were accommodating and helpful and made us feel very welcome. We will definitely be coming back to stay.

Fabulous position!

Will definitely be back again

Meader is a great example of a well designed barn conversion.

Tastefully furnished, very clean and well equipped. If you are looking for a rural retreat with easy access to the moors, then this is the place for you.

Great tranquil spot.

Farm access not for the faint hearted, but well worth it for the peace and quiet, and great views. A warm welcome from our hosts, and much appreciated Devon cream tea waiting for us on arrival! Thank you!

Lovely place, very spacious with lots of natural light.

Well equipped. Quiet location, ideal for walking.

The accommodation was really lovely and both the house and the garden were bigger than we had anticipated.

It’s a lovely location and very peaceful (apart from the cockerel!). It had everything we needed and more. The only thing we would change is that two of the windows don’t have blinds which makes it difficult to sleep on a bright morning.

A five star cottage!

It was even nicer than the online photos made it look. Very comfortable, light and spacious. Owners friendly and helpful. Peaceful setting on the edge of the moors with walks straight from the door. Would love to go back.

wonderfully isolated n peaceful.

A real luxury

The weather was wet and windy - but the cottage was warm, dry and welcoming.

We particularly loved the "bar" area. It was great to sit there for morning coffees, games or meals and we all now want a bar like that at home in our kitchen! Luxurious bathrooms (2 showers plus a big bath tub meant there were no queues even after a long wet walk!), comfortable beds, the big wood burner in the spacious living room and the well equipped kitchen made our autumn stay extremely enjoyable and the mezzanine bedroom made the cottage stand out from the rest. There is no dishwasher, but that was fine for us as we managed to get our pre-teens involved in the kitchen chores! And yes, the last part of the road up to the farm is tricky when there is oncoming traffic, but that is a small price to pay for the fantastic, secluded location in the middle of the moor where we met lots of ponies and sheep but very few people during our walks. Our springer spaniel enjoyed the freedom of the enclosed garden and never escaped... and we were very happy to have found such a special place with such friendly and helpful hosts to escape to before the next lockdown! ,

Lovely holiday cottage in a great location.

Owners responsive when a little maintenance was needed. A really pleasant stay.

Great location - easy access onto Dartmoor, secluded location and lovely place to stay.

Beautiful location, road can be a bit scary if you are not used to country lanes ( we are), could do with a deep clean, cobwebs and dust.

... however this did not put us off, it is in the middle of nowhere deep in the country so cobwebs are to be expected.if you want a quiet holiday away from civilisation break, then this is ideal. Fab star gazing at night.

Stunning property in a fantastic location with easy access to moors.

The owners were attentive but not intrusive and we had everything we needed for a great weekend. We will definitely be returning to this little gem!

The lodge was perfect for our needs and for our two dogs.

Jeff and Ellen couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating and made us very welcome. They were on hand but not intrusive. It is a wonderful location for a peaceful break.

The couple was very welcoming and polite.

The accommodation was lovely and comfortable.

This is a lovely barn on a remote farm.

The track up to the farm is quite narrow, but is fine. The barn is nicely heated and both bathrooms are kept very clean. The sofas are nice but not very firm. Overall a very nice property, that I would recommend if you want a peaceful holiday.

Excellent accommodation, the owners had thought of everything.

High quality holiday rental in tranquil setting, we were relaxing within minutes of arrival.

A wonderful place every thing we needed was there great for the dogs would love to stay again

We really enjoyed our stay at White Tor Farm despite the rain!

It is beautifully furnished and very comfortable with everything provided for a comfortable stay. Mrs Thomas is lovely and she made us feel very welcome. Our dogs had a great time too and enjoyed exercising in one of the farm’s paddocks. We hope to return soon and definitely recommend it.

Great host, lovely animals, great place could live there :)

Our Autumn break was a huge success.

WhiteTor Farm is a wonderful place to stay situated on a hill off the beaten track, steeped in history with lots of animals within and on the outskirts. The accommodation was perfect for us with comfy beds, lots of hot water, light and airy. The owners were delightful, leaving us some organic milk, eggs from the farm and some homemade chocolate cookies. Our two small dogs had a good time too and settled quickly. The location was perfect for visiting the local area during the day - we went to Tavistock, Okehampton, Plymouth, Saltash over the Tamar and of course we ventured deep into the moors where we saw an abundance of cows, sheep and beautiful ponies and visited three delightful villages. Make sure that you take some provisions with you for day/night one as it is a 1.5hr round trip walking into Peter Tavy where there isn't a local store but there is a pub with great food. A perfect getaway treat for great relaxation.

Beautiful cottage in a lovely location.

Everything was perfect and the welcome chocolate treats and duck eggs where an added bonus The owners were around but rarely saw them. The scenery the peaceful views all added to a fantastic break away. All amenities are available locally , we ended up going back to the cottage for the log fire , and chilling

The lodge is situated perfectly for walks from the house directly onto the moor, a dog walkers paradise.

It is situated in a quiet and remote location which we loved. Saying that Peter Tavy was a good walk away, in parts by the river. Tavistock has all the amenities you could wish for and just a short drive away. The lodge was clean and tidy, adequately equipped. The pub at Peter Tavy is a must! Jeff and Ellen were perfect hosts, not at all intrusive but there if needed. Please try their free range eggs and home produced sausages, outstanding. We’ve fallen in love with Dartmoor and would definitely return. Thank you.

This is a real get away from it all cottage.

It was completely quiet and relaxing - no traffic, no planes. Lovely. However, it is high up so when it's windy, it's windy!

This was our third visit to this property and again we were impressed with the high quality of the facilities and the hospitality of the owners.

Despite the almost relentless rain we had a great time walking on the moors with our dogs. We would definitely re-book.

The views from the barn where fabulous, had a lovely stay very quiet.

We loved coming back after a day on the moors with the dogs and settling in on the sofa's in front of the wood burner.

Everything was so relaxing, the owners could not have been more helpful but also left us to ourselves. The beds were amazingly comfortable , the stars at night , the view of the moors that looked different every day, the peace and quiet . Fresh eggs, pigs and piglet, cows and horses . We all had such a good holiday. Thank you.

Absolutely immaculate cottage in a very isolated and quite location.

The cottage is worth every bump in the road. We couldn't have been more relaxed and our cocker spaniels also felt at home. The views are stunning and change with the weather. You can see the storms come in across the Moor. Worth a stay any time of year. Will be booking again for next year. Only one thing would be a dishwasher. Being on a septic tank this would also reduce water usage! This by no means takes anything away from the cottage. 5 stars any day, I'd give 10 if I could.

Immaculate cottage in a stunning location, extremely dog friendly with enclosed garden too, walking immediately up onto the moors with two great pubs within easy walking distance too.

From the moment we walked in, there was a cosy feel to the cottage and it was a great base for an excellent week's walking on Dartmoor.

Lovely place to stay in a beautiful setting.

Spacious and comfortable and the Christmas tree was a lovely touch. Very friendly owner. Would recommend and return.

From the second we walked into this wonderful cottage, we felt completely at home.

Warm cosy and welcoming. The ability to walk out of the cottage and straight onto Dartmoor was fantastic. And the local pubs at Peter Tavy, Mary Tavy and on the road into Tavistock were all dog friendly and served great food. Great holiday and we will be back again.

Great escape.

Everything you could ask for. Shame we didn’t have time to explore more but will definitely want to revisit. Left alone to do what we wanted. Did meet Geoff who was very approachable and if there were any problems at any time to contact. This was a lovely cottage/barn convertion. Out the way from the hustle and bustle of every day life. Would recommend. Great for dog owners and people who love the peace and quiet.

The actual lodge exceeded all of our expectations, we cannot overstate the beautiful location and peacefulness.

Would highly recommend to anybody who wants to escape to the countryside, 5 stars.

Accomodation was very spacious and to a high standard, in a quiet remote location with extensive moor views and friendly owners.

Perfect and sad to leave!

its was very nice and friendly we be going back next year

We didn't meet the owners but there were welcome flowers, eggs and cookies for our arrival.

We had their mobile numbers etc so could contact if needed. They have a fabulous smallholding and especially loved the friendly pedigree pigs and one particular fluffy aloof chicken! Barn is superb, well designed and laid out. Large bathrooms and big soft towels.Well equipped and clean. I didn't feel I had to wash crockery etc before using as I have felt I've had to in the past (Not Sykes). Happy to return . The views are beautiful and especially at sunset. Pretty garden to sit out in too.

Such a beautifull and lovely cottage with spectacular vieuws and sunsets.

A nice and warm host on a lovely small farm. Not entirely suitable for our citydogs who were too much focust on the pigs and the loose chickens in and around the garden, but for those who love the farmlive it is an amazing place. The nearest pub is a great place for a lovely dinner or lunch and the nearest town is a beautifull city with everything you might need. Amazing countryside for long walks or trained bikers. One small thing missing, a comfortable seat in the garden, but proberbly we are the only ones who had such beautifull warm and sunny weather.

Just had a wonderfully relaxing week at Meader cottage.

I felt that the cottage was more spacious than the photos suggested. The owners were extremely helpful and friendly. Stunning views from the back overlooking the Tavy valley - showered listening to cuckoos and went to bed with the sound of owls. Less than 15 minutes into Tavistock and from there easy access to other parts of Dartmoor. Very comfortable cottage in a great spot .

Beautiful barn conversion, a long narrow drive up to the cottage but well worth it.

Fantastic to be able to walk onto the moors with the dogs and with 5 easily reached National Trust properties as well.

the two couples who stayed at this address were welcomed to the property - flowers, fudge, fruit basket awaited us, the log fire burning brightly.

This was very well received as the journey had been fairly difficult with the amount of traffic and heavy rain all the way. One of our party, elderly, and having a stroke some years ago, collapsed during the morning in the downstairs bathroom. I ran to the property owner, and used his phone for a 999 call for an ambulance, the owner of the property was able to explain exactly how to get to the house, as it was difficult up a long rough lane. He then stayed with the patient talking trying to wake him, taking pulses and listening to breathing. He was superb staying almost 1.5 hrs until ambulance staff arrived taking over. Thankfully our friend was fine again by the afternoon, Mr and Mrs Thomas were friendly, and helpful, allowing us to take our two dogs into a field with less mud after the heavy rain. They adjusted the central heating almost immediately after asking for assistance with this. The property is very nice, beds very comfortable. Good book selection, and paperwork on local amenities. Yes we would consider a summer visit, to be in superb countryside and wonderful views, where our grandsons could help feed the resident pigs, horses and chickens. We know the area well, so for us no difficulty in driving up to the property, We also came home with home killed pork and beef which was on sale from the owners. Yes a very good property, with kindly owners where nothing seemed to be too much trouble. Carole Duckett,

Lovely hosts.

Wonderful, luxurious accommodation. Can’t wait to go back.

Brilliant hosts and fantastic cottage and surroundings, lovely flowers and a cake greeted us on arrival along with biscuits for the dogs.

I would recommend the pork sausages, they are amazing.

We had a lovely time.

Beautiful location and Mr and Mrs Thomas were very welcoming. Cottage was lovely and suited my party very well. Dogs were made so welcome.

Very friendly hosts, little extras to make the place homely and welcoming.

The addition of wifi is excellent and made it feel like home from home.

Very friendly and welcoming.

Attention to small things and quality and location of the venue make this a site we'll seek out in the future.

How often do you open a door and say WOW!

!? Would highly recommend this property. We are looking forward to returning to this property in 2017.

A beautiful, quiet location in a well equipped comfortable cottage

Excellent accommodation in a stunning location," away from it all" with walks right from the door, but within easy reach of Tavistock and surrounds.

All this and glorious autumn weather too!

White Tor Lodge was fantastic, such a beautiful place to stay and the owners were so friendly and helpful.
