Next to the kitchen lies a shower room which has a shower cubicle, toilet and wash basin. Head upstairs where there are two cosy bedrooms; the first with a kingsize bed and the second with twin beds. Please be aware that there are low sloping ceilings upstairs. There is also a family bathroom on this floor with a bath, toilet and wash basin. Crofter’s Barn enjoys a tranquil rural location in a small hamlet nearby to several of Dartmoor’s famous Tors, meaning that guests are able to enjoy miles of walks directly from the front door of the property.
The property isn’t completely remote though, as just five miles away lies the town of Tavistock, with its farmers’ market, boutique shops, bistros, pubs, and cafes. The property’s West-Devon location means that it is possible to reach both the north and south coasts of Cornwall and Devon in under an hour, and of particular interest, are the fishing village of Looe, King Arthur’s Tintagel, and the National Trust village of Boscastle. Enjoy the 11 miles of traffic-free route The Granite Way that stretches from Okehampton to Lydford winding through some of the most stunning Dartmoor countryside and moorland. For family days out visit Buckland Abbey, Lydford Gorge, Castle Drogo and Dartmoor Zoo, and further afield the Eden Project. Home to 368 square miles of natural delights, Dartmoor National Park boasts a plethora of walking and cycling routes leading you through steep wooded river valleys to enticing archaeological sites. There’s so much to explore here, with ample opportunities for outdoor activity including canoeing, climbing, geocaching and more. Crofter’s Barn is a house for all seasons and will provide a wonderful and relaxing base to explore and recharge the batteries.

A very good barn conversion, a very comfortable and well equipped cottage. The ceilings in the upstairs rooms were in the eaves, and the sloping ceiling was sometimes difficult, but being aware of this we were able to cope with it.

The cottage was lovely, superb location and amenities were brilliant. They even left milk and homemade shortbread for us which was delicious! When we arrived, the house was warm and inviting and we could walk from the door straight onto the moors. My only note would be in app communication did not get a response but everything was easy enough to find and follow nevertheles. Amazing trip!
