Moorlands Barn, Belstone

Dartmoor. Sleeps up to 4

New to the market for July 2022

Moorlands Barn is a high quality and comfortable barn conversion completed in 2022 and set in a secluded location on the edge of the beautiful moorland village of Belstone, within Dartmoor National Park. Featuring thoughtfully designed and well-presented rooms throughout, guests can enjoy home cooking in the spacious, fully equipped kitchen with its high ceilings and exposed stone work, relax in the characterful sitting / dining room or spill out onto the rear patio with views to surrounding moorland for alfresco dining and evening drinks. In cooler months, guests will appreciate the slate tiled flooring with underfloor heating and can enjoy cosying up by the log burner to watch a movie or series on the smart TV.

Both bedrooms have been stylishly furnished, offering comfortable beds for tired legs after a day out exploring. The family shower room and cloakroom are finished to a contemporary style and the property benefits from parking for two vehicles.

This very peaceful spot is tucked on the side of a marvellous valley that dips down through ten acres of adjoining grounds (which guests have access to) bordered by the River Taw to a stunning moorland lake and is a 5 minute stroll into the picturesque village of Belstone with its fine local pub/restaurant, tea rooms, ancient village stocks, medieval church and riding stables. The property has direct access to Dartmoor itself and is surrounded by wonderful walking country, amongst some of the grandest tors on Dartmoor where High Wilhays (the highest point in southern England) can be reached in a morning’s walk from the front door.

Please note Moorlands Barn is just 50 yards from Moorlands Cottage should you wish to book them together.
