About this property
This comfy Devon cottage is situated on the edge of the Dartmoor village of Holne. It has been converted from a barn attached to the owner's house and makes an ideal base for families and couples to enjoy Dartmoor and the beautiful surrounding countryside. The upside down layout means you have a lovely lofty open plan space on the top floor with wood floor, seating area with wood burning stove, dining area, kitchen and steps leading up to a door to the garden. Two of the three downstairs bedrooms enjoy an en suite, as well as the smart shower room. The enclosed garden is a peaceful spot with lawn, views over countryside and the moors and garden furniture. This is a wonderful place for the great outdoors, with excellent walks and riding stables nearby, as well as fishing for trout or salmon in the River Dart. The beaches at Torbay are just 15 miles away, and of course the wide expanses of Dartmoor with its ponies, sheep and cattle are waiting to be explored. The Stone Barn Cottage is a welcoming base for exploring the moors and south coast of Devon
On the southeastern slopes of Dartmoor is the pretty village of Holne, with its 13th century church and Community Shop & Tearoom.

Highlights were; the comfortable bed; cozy evenings in front of the fire; underfloor heating in the bedrooms and best of all watching the sun rise over the moors whilst enjoying the first coffee of the day. Wonderful.

The cottage is absolutely beautiful, clean and comfortable. Bedrooms are very comfy and great that there are so many bathrooms. The kitchen/ living area was well equipped and the burner provided lovely warmth for for the not so great Dartmoor weather. The hosts greeted us on arrival by chance and they were lovely and welcoming. Amazing walks nearby down to the river and the local pub served delicious food and had lovely people! Would recommend to anyone wanting a countryside getaway!
