Set in the heart of the South Hams, an idyllic converted barn, once used for milking and stables, provides a perfect base to enjoy the beauty of South Devon or relish the owners’ 10-acre countryside. Bask in the delights of this beautifully converted studio barn in a tranquil location, surrounded by countryside, with Dartmoor being just 7 miles away.
