Danny and Sarah have thought of everything to make this a wonderful place to stay. The grounds are amazing, with regular visits from deer, birds and rabbits. I can honestly say Cholwell Barn Apartment is one of the best places we have ever stayed, and we hope to return next year. Thank you Danny, Sarah and Dart

There is a delightful garden and orchard to relax in. Great location for local walks and a short stroll to the Mary Tavy Inn. It is in an ideal situation for exploring the Tavistock and Dartmoor area. Danny is an outstanding host, ensuring our stay was perfect, on hand to offer advice and suggest places of interest to visit and suitable walks.

We loved all the walks straight from the door so much that we didn't use car once during our week. Hopefully we'll be back again in the future. Thank you!
