“Beautifully newly-furnished barn in spotless condition, and I had a lovely time thanks.”
I wouldn’t return to the barn in winter without a 4WD though - the lane was flooded the whole week I was there, and completely impassable in my normal car for a couple of days. That’s rural Dartmoor for you!
Also, wifi was down and took 8 days to repair - obviously not the owner’s fault, but again a reflection of the barn’s isolation despite so close to Chagford.

Dear Guest
Thank you for your 5 star review. We were pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay although it was a shame it coincided with Storm Bram hitting the South West and the Dartmoor area. Unfortunately a tree coming down took out the wifi (which you were aware of prior to your stay and had options regarding to change the dates etc). The WiFi was back working for you although any delay was due to BT's haphazard repair programme rather than the remoteness of the cottage.
The lane which continues on to Hurston (past our track) can get wet but we drive a Kia Nero and we arrived the day you left with no issues. Our neighbour who lives further down the lane has her daughter visit daily in her Skoda Fabia and had no issues during that week. Sometimes the water looks maybe worse than it actually is and when you are not used to the surroundings makes it hard to guage the level of the standing water.
However you obviously enjoyed your stay and you said you liked the barn so please do return when the weather is a little less wild with a little more sunshine.
With best wishes.
