    “We had a lovely stay at Buster Barn; a good time was had by all!”

    On our arrival we were met by Sally who gave us a warm welcome and told us where she would be should we need anything during our stay. The property itself was perfect and fully equipped with everything we could have needed, and more. We were blown away by the beautiful garden (very secure) and the extended grounds. Our dog was so happy outside investigating the sniffs and was very relaxed throughout the week. There are many walks from the property, and the wider area; the sunset views from the ...

    On our arrival we were met by Sally who gave us a warm welcome and told us where she would be should we need anything during our stay. The property itself was perfect and fully equipped with everything we could have needed, and more. We were blown away by the beautiful garden (very secure) and the extended grounds. Our dog was so happy outside investigating the sniffs and was very relaxed throughout the week. There are many walks from the property, and the wider area; the sunset views from the top of the garden were amazing, surrounded by nature, bird sounds and the gentle trickle of the stream. We have returned home feeling so relaxed and ready to get back to reality, although we hope to re-visit Buster Barn again soon.

The property

In Sampford Spiney, peacefully at the end of a private drive off narrow, winding moorland lanes, a detached single-storey cottage converted from a sturdy granite barn, surrounded by an enclosed courtyard (table/chairs, barbecue) with pond (netted), over which a bridge (handrail) leads to gently sloping hillside garden and arbour with spectacular long views to a panorama of tors.

To one side, the friendly owners' home and a resident neighbouring cottage, all bordered by horse-grazed fields through which you can wander.

Lane walk to the open moor: Crip Tor and Ingra Tor, around ¾ mile.

From parking area, gravelled pathway to 7 big uneven granite steps (alternative level access via gravelled courtyard) up to front door (5'5" lintel); spacious beamed open-plan living/dining/oak fitted kitchen (washer-drier, microwave, fridge-freezer, gas hob/electric oven) with armchairs and sofa bed (converts to double bed for alternative sleeping), TV/DVD, iPod dock, table/chairs for 4 and glazed double doors to courtyard.

King-size bedroom with en suite bathroom (suite with separate shower).

Spring water.

The best of both worlds here: scenic and secluded, yet close to interesting moorland towns. Sampford Spiney: hamlet (church, cottages, scattered farms) in the River Walkham valley on the scenic western slopes of Dartmoor.

Dousland (pub, PO), 3 miles; Yelverton (shops, pub, golf), 4; Tavistock (interesting shops, markets, pubs, restaurants, wharfside theatre), 6.

Plymouth and south coast, 13 miles.
