This property is one of two studio apartments in this converted barn, with this, the first-floor apartment, being accessed via a flight of external stairs which lead to the front door. On entering the property, guests will find that the open-plan space has everything that they will need to make themselves at home. In the lounge area of the room, sofa seating allows guests to take advantage of the spectacular views, as well as to enjoy the Smart TV/DVD with Freeview and Netflix.

The barn is located in a beautiful setting, peaceful and quiet yet not far from all the amenities in Tavistock. The property was very clean, with pristine white linen and towels, and all the equipment and utensils you could need, even a hair dryer and straighteners. Despite having rainy days and even snow one night, the property was cosy and warm aRead morend we had an amazing few days. There are plenty of cushions and throws if you just want to curl up with a book and not go anywhere! Hide

The Barn is absolutely wonderful, very relaxing and peaceful. It is very well equipped to the highest standard and the bed was much more comfortable than the one we have at home! During our stay we felt very at home and even Eos, our nervous dog, settled in very well. We were sorry to be leaving but we will return as soon as we can, if only to see Read morethe stars in the completely dark sky. Good WiFi and a great pub a 30 minute walk away. I wholeheartedly recommend it. Perfect holiday home. Hide

Everything was perfect for the 3 of us (2 adults & 1 pooch). Very comfortable place to stay, with lots of places to visit not too far away to drive to or walk. Couldn't believe how dark it was at night, which gave us great opportunities to star gaze some nights. Village pub has a great menu & the food was good. Only 1 mile away but too far to walk Read moredown the remote single track unlit road. Hide
