    Contact with Ellen prior to arrival was prompt and friendly. On arrival, the road to the property does have significant potholes (as detailed) but if you drive slowly, you can navigate them well. The property itself was clean and well equipped with absolutely everything you may need for your stay. There was information about the barn which gave some interesting historic information as well as the basics such as disposal of rubbish, as well as a welcome tray that included all the essentials and some eggs which was a nice touch. The barn was comfortable with adequate seating and an extremely comfortable king size bed. The shower room was clean and perfect for our needs, including some soft fluffy towels. There was plenty of room in the living room for a bed, cushion and cold mat for our little border terrier. The garden was lovely with glorious views across the moors. We saw some beautiful sunsets. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for peace and tranquility. This is a glorious part of our country and well worth a stay to experience it.

    Thanks so much for your lovely review and for staying with us. We are so pleased that you enjoyed it. I’m sorry about the potholes in the roads - we continue to lobby the council about repairs and they remain slow to respond! Thanks for your patience on the matter and again for your lovely words about the property Property Owner

The property

Tavistock 4 miles.

This detached, stone-built barn conversion, dating back to 1900 is situated next door to the owner's home on their traditional Dartmoor smallholding, in a rural location, within the Dartmoor National Park, a mile and a half by car from the small village of Peter Tavy, and close to the market town of Tavistock.

Beautifully appointed throughout, this property provides a wonderful base for couples looking to explore this area.

Situated all on the ground floor you enter the property into a sociable open plan living area with tiled floor and a well-equipped compact kitchen with everything you need to rustle up a delicious meal to be shared around the dining table.

The 2 seater sofa is a comfortable place to snuggle up together and enjoy watching a film or to sit quietly and enjoy the views from the lounge window over the back garden and out across the Dartmoor National Park.

One step up leads into the excellently-appointed double bedroom with a lovely en-suite shower room.

On sunny days enjoy dining alfresco on the patio outside or wander down to the fence at the end of the garden to soak up those glorious 180 degree countryside views, with the farm itself boasting panoramic 360 degree views of the surrounding moor.

Also as thereÂ’s almost zero light pollution, on a clear night you can look up and admire the stars in the sky.

As this property is in an isolation location on the side of a moor, there are wonderful walks from the door that are perfect for hikers and dog lovers, plus with riding stables less than three miles away, this cottage provides access to stunning horse trekking across the moors.

You may also wish to walk to a Bronze Age settlement, just ten minutesÂ’ away and there are standing stones within reach.

A short drive, up the side of a moor, will take you into the nearby award-winning market town of Tavistock with its range of shops, restaurants and pubs and with the slopes of Dartmoor on the edge of this town, walkers are well catered for.

There are several National Trust properties in the area with outstanding gardens to explore or perhaps hop in the car and spend a day at one of the many sandy beaches within an hourÂ’s drive.

This wonderful barn conversion is ideal for a tranquil, romantic retreat, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Note: This property is next to Ref. 918405, together they sleep 6.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.
