Der ehemalige Kuhstall ist schön wohnlich eingerichtet. Leider hatten wir mit dem Wetter etwas Pech, so konnten wir den schönen, windgeschützten Innenhof nicht so nutzen, wie wir es gerne getan hätten. Das Ferienhäuschen ist schön gelegen und man kann diverse Tagestouren von dort aus starten. Im Vorfeld hatte Wendy uns einige Anregungen zukommen lassen, die wir gerne angenommen haben. Darüber hinaus stand sie auch gerne mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Unsere Kinder hatten große Freude an den Enten und Hühnern, die auf dem Grundstück leben. Da das Dartmoor ein dünn bewohnter Landstrich ist, ist man grundsätzlich auf sein Fahrzeug angewiesen. ##### Chris R. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fam.

The standard of the conversion is exceptional. The furnishings are perfect and you have everything you will need for a beautiful quiet holiday in the middle of glorious Devon. The owners live nearby and were extremely welcoming to us. We were able to entertain four extra friends in the beautiful walled garden behind the property for dinner, and our family including our grandchildren were able to visitors. The young grandchildren, in particular, loved visiting the ducks and chickens, and could run around in the very safe paddock. The bathroom and kitchen in a self catering property often leave a lot to be desired – not in this case! The standard of the bathroom was wonderful including underfloor heating and beautifully designed. The one-track lane leading to the property might be a little daunting if you arrive at night time, but we managed it well each day. We can’t wait to come back again, and I would imagine that this would also be a fabulous place for a winter break with its wood burning stove. Highly recommended! ##### Carl T.
