This beautifully converted barn on Dartmoor is an idyllic location for a relaxing trip with your partner and pet – or a solo trip where you can spend some alone time accompanied by your faithful companion. It’s located in Yelverton, a lovely Devon village with local shops, cafes and dog-friendly pubs and restaurants all within 0.5 miles. The property has a lovely rustic aesthetic and a super cosy interior, so you feel right at home. And when it’s time to explore, you’ll have an abundance of tail-waggingly good walking trails beginning from your front door.

Enter the single-level ground-floor property and take a moment to admire the lovely exposed stone walls and wooden ceiling beams, then pop the kettle on for a welcoming cuppa in the cosy kitchen/lounge. As you sip, your pet can nestle at your feet while you unwind on the sofa or wingback armchair. There’s also a TV and DVD player for some easy evening entertainment. The small but perfectly formed kitchen has everything for meal prep. A super-king-size bedroom with en-suite rainfall shower completes the attractive interior. While the secluded garden outside is not available for dogs, it provides a peaceful spot for listening to the birds and enjoying the fresh air.

Locally, you can make a beeline for Burrator Reservoir (3 miles) and explore granite outcrops (known as tors) and open moorland as your pet trots on happily ahead. Take your four-legged pal for runs in Dittisham Wood (3 miles) or head to Tavistock, a historical market town and UNESCO World Heritage Site for its mining history (5 miles). At Plymouth (10 miles) you can enjoy an urban day out by the sea.

The accommodation is quite small but entirely adequate for a holiday for 2. It is very comfortable, rustic and the owners are on hand for any issues.

Linda & Aidan were great hosts. The barn conversion was well done with a well appointed kitchen including some of the cooking essentials like oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper etc. There were unexpected items like a slow cooker even though we took our own. A nice bottle of Chianti and some apples were waiting upon our arrival.

Accommodation is bigger than it looks on the photos, comfortable, quiet, well equipped. We only stayed for three nights but would not hesitate on returning. Host friendly, all in all, an excellent place to stay.

A lovely, cosy little escape with great amenities and very comfortable. Yelverton is perfectly located too, 20 minutes from Plymouth but close to everything in Dartmoor. The hosts are very hospitable and always around to help.
