On arrival there was a lovely welcome of a cake, fresh flowers, home made apple juice and treats for our dog. This set the tone for a comfortable stay in the beautifully decorated barn, We could have spent the whole time enjoying the luxury of the hot tub, log burner and free standing bath but the beautiful Dartmoor and surrounding countryside needed exploring too . Sylvia was the perfect host, nothing was too much trouble and it was clearly important to her that we had the best time. We did.

Lovely barn and lots of thought gone into getting it ready for Christmas as in beautiful decorated tree, a bottle of champagne, homemade cake, milk in the fridge and eggs from their own hens. Lovely and warm due to underfloor heating and log burner.
Very comfy bed and great pillows. The barns are set in beautiful countryside and surrounding fields were great for walking my Labrador Leo, albeit rather wet one’s as the storms were going on over Christmas !. Sylvia has made it a magical place.

We stayed in Orchard Barn for our annual Christmas getaway. The barn is so cosy and the perfect place to unwind. It has everything we need and more with delicious homemade cake on arrival. Our dog loves it here with the river to swim in and fields to explore. We have stayed multiple times and the experience never lessens and each time we appreciate the barn and setting even more. Our Christmas would not be complete without a visit here.

Honestly, the most beautiful place! We’ve been coming here yearly for the last 5 years, in memory of my mother. Sylvia, is lovely, so friendly and chatty, she remembers the little things. A home away from home. Just perfect!
Holly from Bristol
What’s not to like? The entertainment of the ‘mole patrol’ and the ‘chicken dinners’ (who were always on the look out for a little something to tide them over between meals), the peace and quiet of the beautiful Devon countryside, the comfort, the endless supply of eggs, the very drinkable white wine, the lovely flowers or the very warm welcome. They all contributed in their own way to a very relaxing and enjoyable stay and we hope to be back.
John from Berkhamsted
We stayed in cow barn in September 2024.
The barn was easy to find, great quiet location.
Clean, comfortable and with everything you need.
The outside space was perfect with a dining area, barbecue and hot tub.
The wider farm is open to guests there is a short walk down to the river with picnic benches and space for children to play..
