The Garden Barn

Families and small groups looking for a rural base with easy reach of Dartmoor will find The Garden Barn suits them well. This converted stone barn has two bedrooms—one double, one with twin singles—and a single bathroom, sleeping four in total. The whole property is yours alone, with private parking for one car and an enclosed patio garden where you can eat outdoors or use the barbecue.

Upstairs, an open-plan living space combines sitting and dining areas with a wood-burning stove, Freeview television, and a kitchen equipped for proper cooking: electric oven, dishwasher, microwave and full-sized fridge. You'll find a washing machine and tumble dryer here too. Oil central heating, electricity, Wi-Fi, bed linen and towels are included; logs for the stove come as standard. A travel cot and high chair are available if needed. Ground floor bedrooms mean less stair-climbing with young children.

The location balances quiet countryside with practicality. Walking distance gets you to Dartmoor National Park; a short drive reaches Plymouth's Hoe, aquarium and shops, or Totnes for summer river cruises down to Dartmouth. A pub and restaurant are roughly a mile away. No smoking is permitted inside.
