Resting upon Bagtor Barton, a beef farm that has been in the same family for five generations, on the outskirts of Ilsington, Devon is Bagtor Granary, a stunning, three-bedroom barn conversion. Situated in the Dartmoor National Park, with direct, private, walking access onto the moor, Bagtor Granary offers a delightful abode for a family of six, complete with a stylish interior, a private hot tub, and charming surroundings. On arrival, benefit from off-road parking, before entering your new home-from-home, starting off in the contemporary sitting room, complete with a plush leather sofa, a Smart TV, and a woodburning stove, offering the perfect space to unwind after a day of travelling. Head into the spacious kitchen/diner, fitted with state-of-the-art appliances and dining space for six guests, where you can prepare meals and gather as a family. As the night unfolds, enjoy an indulgent dip in the private hot tub, watching the sun set over Devon, before venturing upstairs and catching some rest in one of the three well-appointed bedrooms; select between the master king-size with a Smart TV and handy en-suite shower room, a further king-size, and a bunk room, complete with handmade, oak frames. Awaken to a long soak in the luxury, free-standing copper bath, before heading to the farm for a meet-and-greet with the livestock, a tour of the farm or a meeting with calves and lambs depending on the time of year. Once you're ready to explore, make your way towards Haytor Rocks where cattle roam freely in the summer, or the beautiful surroundings of Becky Falls Ancient Woodland Park, whilst your nearest amenities can be found in Islington. Travel slightly further into Dartmoor to discover Widecombe-in-the-Moor an historic thatched village with a 14th century church: try the Café on the Green for brunch, lunch or afternoon tea or sample the local ale at the famous Rugglestone Inn. Perfect for the adults of your group, be sure to visit the Dartmoor Whisky Distillery, where you can sample some local produce and experience a tour, whilst the Stover Country Park is the ideal landscape for a family walk and picnic. Newton Abbot is within reach by car, where you'll locate further amenities, along with the chance to attend one of the many race days hosted at Newton Abbot Races, before making your way to the coast, with Meadfoot Beach, Paignton Beach, and Torquay Beach as popular choices for their sweeping, family-friendly, landscapes. Experience both the coast and country at Bagtor Granary.
Ilsington, a Devonshire village and civil parish is situated on the eastern edge of Dartmoor.
