About this property
Woodstone Barn is the larger of two barn conversions, set within its own enclosed gardens on a Devon farm. Boasting amazing, far-reaching views towards Dartmoor National Park and on a slope above the West Devon Way, this rural cottage offers an escape to the countryside for a family or group of eight. The hallway leads to an open plan living area with a kitchen, plus the dining area is large enough to seat your whole group comfortably. The living area has tall, vaulted ceilings and stairs rising to the first floor, where an open plan landing leads to a king-size double bedroom, a twin room with a Velux window, plus a room that can either be a sitting room or a bedroom, as there is a double sofa bed, a corner sofa, a TV and lovely views of the garden.
Guests will enjoy the cosy warmth which radiates from the woodburner to the first floor, as well as the double doors that lead out to the private patio, the perfect place to have a barbecue and unwind, as you gaze at the wonderful rural views reaching for miles. Set amongst some of Devon's most natural, unspoilt countryside, a stay in this cosy, rural escape will leave you wanting to return for more. This property can be booked alongside Ref: 999655 and together they sleep 12 people in 6 bedrooms.
A delightful, award-winning market town on the River Tavy, nestling in the south-west slopes of Dartmoor. Tavistock has an indoor pannier market, a diverse range of shops, and an excellent choice of pubs, bistros and restaurants. This is the perfect destination for country lovers who enjoy the convenience of an interesting town on the doorstep. There is excellent walking on Dartmoor, cycling on The National Cycle Network no. 27, renowned game fishing and various National Trust properties nearby. Within easy reach are the maritime city of Plymouth with its Barbican Quay, Torbay's sandy beaches, and the beaches and surfing of North Cornwall.

They have catered for all ages and my teenage grandsons loved using the games area. It was perfect place for our dog and being able to walk from the door up to lovely downs area was brilliant. Kitchen very well equipped and if we need stay close to relatives living in the area would certainly book again. Thank Helen and Jacqui.

The welcome pack of scones, clotted cream, jam and milk was greatly appreciated. Woodstone is well placed for Drakes Trail walkers and the onsite child play area was an added bonus. The road to Woodstone barn, which I believe is local authority adopted, is currently in a poor state of repair and drivers should take it easy, especially at night or in rainy conditions. Nevertheless, we will use Woodstone Barn again.
