Foxtor Barn
Surrounded by captivating views of Dartmoor as far as the eye can see, Foxtor Barn is a delightful barn conversion perfectly situated on a pretty farmstead with panoramic vistas from sun rise to sun set. The beautifully crafted interior is gorgeous and cosily furnished to ensure you and your four-legged friends have the most luxurious of stays. Dartmoor is a magical place with miles of stunning open moorland, deep river valleys and forests to discover, this really is a dream location for either families or a group of friends looking for a holiday of adventure.
Located just two miles from the pretty village of Lydford on the western fringe of Dartmoor, from the moment you enter Dartmoor country you will be captivated. Foxtor Barn is located along a beautiful tree-lined drive on a small peaceful farmstead and whilst the owner is conveniently on hand should you need them, your privacy is ensured here. To the front of the property a small lawned area with outside furniture is the perfect spot to enjoy the peace and tranquility whilst enjoying your morning coffee or an aperitif perhaps. Haretor Barn (4924) next door is separated by a wall. Step over the threshold and the ground floor living area welcomes you with soft pastel shades which complement the breathtaking views from the floor to ceiling windows. This fabulous open plan space is stunning and the double height ceilings with exposed beams add a contemporary touch. Gorgeous comfy sofas invite you to relax and, if you can tear your eyes away from the magnificent views, turn on the Smart TV with Freesat and DVD player to enjoy a movie or two. The kitchen/diner is perfect for everyone to gather around the farmhouse table and discuss the adventures of the day, or perhaps chat with the chef! The pretty kitchen has everything you will need to create a culinary delight on your holiday including the obligatory Nespresso Artisan Kitchen Aid coffee maker.
Downstairs the luxurious bedrooms await and with gorgeous linens you are assured of a great night's sleep here. Bedroom one has a super-king size bed with a fabulous brass bedstead. Bedroom two offers a king-size bed and the added benefit of an en suite shower-room, perfect for a refreshing shower after a day exploring the moors. The family bathroom with bath and shower over is also on this floor so no queuing here.
Dartmoor is all about the great outdoors and the outside space at Foxtor Barn will captivate throughout the seasons. A further garden with the most amazing views over the moors is located across the drive and you are welcome to enjoy this al fresco dining area with a built- in barbecue, shared with Haretor Barn next door. So if you are looking for a place with space for extended family then the two barns could be the perfect choice.

Loved the place! Beautiful views from the main room. Comfortable bed. Lots of kitchen equipment provided and plenty of china and glasses. Excellent pub in the village (not really walkable in the dark, but only minutes in the car!)

Lovely cottage with good decor. Cream scones left for us on arrival! Near to Dartmoor and the lovely town of Tavistock which is extremely dog friendly!

Katie and Gemma were absolutely amazing and welcomed me like family. The property is beautifully decorated and the beds are very comfortable. The view and the grounds are absolutely stunning.

Perfect location on the edge of Dartmoor. Very peaceful. Discreet owners but there if needed. Despite the weather it was very warm and cosy.

Foxtor Barn lived up to its description. View amazing - and a peaceful surrounding. A note from Katie and a delicious Welcome Pack was much appreciated. Bed was super comfy. Linen and towels all good quality which added to our comfort. Access to local walks in particular The Granite Way easy. Castle Inn at Lydford a must visit…we did twice during our week. A great selection of DVDs and games, in particular Scrabble, all so important to complete the holiday experience. It was a special place to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary. Thank you !

Foxtor Barn is set within a beautiful farm. It is perfectly tranquil and relaxing with stunning views of Dartmoor. Refurbished and finished to a high standard and everything you need in a home from home. Very comfortable and clean. Comfy beds and gorgeous modern bathrooms and kitchen. Dog friendly.
Frau Westerhaus
Foxtor barn is an excellent choice for a wonderful holiday. The cottage is heavenly with a beautiful sitting room/kitchen with superb views of the dartmoor, cosy sofas and a well equipped kitchen. We slept really well in very comfortable and large beds (my 2 m tall husband liked that very much) everything was spotlessly clean. We also liked the location, Dartmoor is right there, Lydford Gorge within walking distance, Tavistock nearby as well as several National Trust Properties. Last but not least we want to point out how helpful and friendly the owners were, always available for questions,thank you very much Katie.

Both myself and my friend recently enjoyed our 4 night stay at Foxtor Barn, which we booked for a crafting /relaxing time away. On arriving at the property, ( which was easy to find ) we were welcomed by surprise" goodies" left by the property owner. The Barn was Cosy , Clean , well equipped , furnished to a high standard and set in peaceful , beautiful location. Even the surrounding area was full of surprises too.... though definately needed to pack hiking boots. Highly recommend and hope to visit again in the future. Thankyou for making our stay perfect.

We had the perfect stay at Foxtor Barn. It was so tranquil with lovely views and walks on to the moors. We were given a fabulous welcome pack and the barn is well equipped and beautifully decorated. The garden has a handy parasol and picnic bench and there is a separate barbecue area which was a great addition.
