About this property
… a mile from Bovey Tracey towards Manaton, ¼ mile down a private lane, a beautiful cottage carefully created from a thick-walled barn with wonderful 180 degree views over fields and woodland towards open moorland. Immediately outside, a parterre (table/chairs) with views, just right for an early evening tipple, and beyond are 80 acres of mainly pasture (wildlife including deer, otters, skylarks) which you are welcome to wander.
Inside, furnished and decorated with flair and creativity. Tremendously spacious, tile-floored open-plan living/dining/kitchen with spectacular views from floor-to-ceiling windows over a terrace to moorland beyond: hand-built kitchen (dishwasher, washing machine, fridge/freezer, range-style cooker) with large table/chairs at one end and, at the other, a woodburner, TV/DVD and big sofas. Twin bedroom with views down the valley. Loo. Upstairs, galleried landing to two double bedrooms, one with 5' bed and en suite shower-room (suite) and the other with 5' sleigh bed. Bathroom (suite, shower over bath). Up 3 steps from the kitchen, games barn (huge views, table tennis) and useful area for storing coats/boots. A beautiful place to stay, offering a blissful escape on the edge of the moor.

"Stone Barn is a beautiful property with practically everything one could need .... quite a home from home (but much more stylish!). The log burner and games room were a highlight. The situation of the property surrounded by the moors was exceptional and it is a great place to unwind and relax for all the family including the dog who had some great walks down to the stream at the bottom of the fields. The caretaker, Roger, was most helpful but not obtrusive. All in all a great place to holiday with plenty to do and see in the surrounding area."

"A beautifully converted barn in a lovely location. Plenty of space around the barn for children and dogs to run and explore and easy access to Dartmoor for great walks and cycling."

"Stone Barn is a fabulous property in a fabulous location. Very spacious and beautifully furnished. All the views from the Barn are fantastic, especially whilst relaxing and watching the sunset from the patio! We would recommend this property and are hoping to go back ourselves."
