About this property

The utterly gorgeous Landscove Barns sit within a magnificent country estate in Devon’s South Hams, alongside the impressive Grade II listed manor, Landscove House. Surrounded by glorious countryside near the village of Landscove, the barns provide stylish boutique accommodation for up to twelve guests across six beautifully restored cottages and suites, with additional sofa beds allowing space for up to eight more guests. Together with Landscove House, the estate can accommodate up to thirty-six guests, making it an excellent choice for celebrations, family gatherings and corporate stays.

Originally built in the late 1700s as part of a dairy farm, the barns have been thoughtfully renovated to blend historic character with contemporary comfort. Devon and Cornish stone walls, exposed beams and original dairy features sit alongside sleek kitchens, underfloor heating and chic interiors inspired more by modern loft living than traditional country cottages. Several cottages enjoy freestanding baths, wet room showers, private patios and flexible accommodation layouts ideal for groups travelling together.

The estate also features the impressive Glasshouse event space, the Dairy Kitchen for private dining or cookery events and a converted Second World War Nissen Hut. Guests can choose between self-catering stays, breakfasts or fine dining experiences while enjoying the beautiful enclosed courtyard and surrounding countryside. Just three miles from Dartmoor and eight miles from the coast, Landscove Barns are perfectly placed for exploring Devon’s villages, beaches, rivers and walking trails.



***The Barns are located next to Landscove House, and can be rented together for an incredible wedding or celebration. There is a professional kitchen, and spectacular big barn with glass roof for entertaining. 



 

Landscove Barns enjoy a spectacular setting in Devon’s South Hams, surrounded by hundreds of acres of countryside and just three miles from Dartmoor National Park. The area is packed with wonderful villages, scenic walks, excellent restaurants and outdoor adventures. Nearby Buckfastleigh is home to the much-loved South Devon Railway, where beautifully restored steam trains travel through the River Dart valley to Totnes, while Hill House Nursery and Gardens offers peaceful gardens and charming tea rooms close to the estate.

South Devon’s coastline is equally impressive, with Dartmouth, Salcombe and Kingsbridge all within easy reach. Dartmouth’s historic waterfront is filled with galleries, marinas, festivals and waterside restaurants, while Salcombe is renowned for its sailing, boutique shopping, beaches and fantastic seafood. Visitors can also explore Agatha Christie’s Greenway House, take the ferry to picturesque Dittisham, or enjoy beach days at Slapton Sands, Bantham and Bigbury-on-Sea. From watersports and coastal walks to market towns and estuary adventures, there is no shortage of things to experience nearby.

  • Dave

    Stumbled upon Landscove Barns searching for some accommodation in Devon and we were all so impressed with every aspect of our stay. The barn conversations are so well done - so much character and charm, with fantastic staff that are welcoming, hospitable and friendly. The grounds are stunning, great outdoor pool, really high quality food for breakfast. The local pub has exceptional food. Our three kids and dog were made to feel so at home. The owners Mike, Edwin and all the staff were so hospitable and warm. I couldn't recommend more highly. We will definitely be back!
