Haretor Barn
Gorgeous Haretor Barn is surrounded by idyllic Dartmoor countryside, with breathtaking views as far as the eye can see and situated on a pretty farmstead where you and your four-legged friends will be made most welcome. Beautifully converted with oak floors and exposed beams, Haretor Barn is the perfect getaway retreat for either family or friends and from the moment you drive down the tree-lined avenue, you will realise you have arrived somewhere very special.
To the front of the barn a pretty, enclosed front lawn welcomes you and you can sit on the garden furniture and enjoy the tranquil outdoors with your morning coffee or perhaps evening aperitif! Next door Foxtor Barn (4925) is separated by a wall and gate and although the owners are conveniently on hand should you need them, your privacy is ensured here. Through the front door, the open plan living space is furnished in warm, neutral tones, seamlessly mixing beautiful furnishings with contemporary style. Double height ceilings enhance space with a Velux window adding natural light. Why not sit and relax on the comfy sofa watching the colours change from dawn to dusk on the moors, the perfect holiday pastime! When the sun sets, perhaps gather around the Smart TV with Freesat to watch the latest movies, a DVD player is also available. The traditional kitchen table is the ideal place to plan your day ahead or perhaps chat whilst the chef prepares a culinary masterpiece! The well-designed kitchen has everything you will need including the obligatory Nespresso Artisan Kitchen Aid coffee machine.
Downstairs two pretty bedrooms await with dreamy furnishings and beautifully decorated. Bedroom one is gorgeous, dressed in pretty pastel shades, this really is a room with a view. Conveniently this room can be made up as either two singles or a super-king size double, giving you the flexibility to choose. Bedroom two has a king-size bed, with an exquisite brass bedstead and luxury linens, and an en suite shower-room for a refreshing shower after a day of hiking. The family bathroom can also be found on this floor, so no queuing here for a shower!
Outside the calm tranquility of Dartmoor enfolds. Over the drive a garden area with seating and a built-in barbecue welcomes you to enjoy al fresco dining with the most stunning views. This area is shared with Foxtor Barn which adjoins Haretor Barn and offers extended families or groups of friends separate abodes should you be seeking two places to stay, side by side, in this dreamy location.

A little piece of heaven.
Mrs Sewell
A quiet spot with good views of Dartmoor and the wild life;good to hear the cuckoo.
Ms Endacott
We had a lovely stay at Haretor Barn - it’s a beautiful setting with amazing views - perfect for unwinding. Easy access for exploring Devon and East Cornwall. The scones, cream and jam went down a treat on arrival too. To top it all, the weather was unexpectedly sunny, which made our week even more enjoyable. We hope to return!
Mrs Jones
Excellent property , beds very comfortable, in a good position to explore Dartmoor and east Cornwall. I really can’t fault it. Highly recommended
Mrs Head
We were given fresh scones with cream and jam, a bottle of wine, milk, cold water and some treats for the dog on arrival. We were made very welcome. The barn is in a beautiful location looking over Dartmoor. Lydon Gorge and the moors are within walking distance, and The Castle Inn a short distance away serving delicious food. Enjoyed our stay immensely.
Mrs Roberts
This clean, well presented, cosy and welcoming cottage is just enough off the beaten track to help you relax and rest a while. The views from the windows and the pretty side garden are wonderful and we spent a lot of our time just looking out at them. Beds are big and comfy. Under floor heating in the bathrooms is a treat. Entry and exit to the property was easy. Clotted cream scones and lavender pillow spray a welcome bonus. We would recommend in an instant and will be returning. :-)
Mr Shaw
Beautiful property with very nice decor in a wonderful, peaceful location.
Miss Freemantle
A wonderful property in an atmospheric location. A homely place to return to after long winter walks. We would definitely return. Ourselves and our dog were made to feel welcome. There are lots of local walks on the moor and is within walking distance of Lydford Gorge.
Mr Hampton
Couldn’t recommend Haretor enough stunning !!! close to lots of places, scenery wow .
Mrs Miller
A stunning property in a gorgeous location with spellbinding views. It was spotlessly clean on arrival. The owners left us a lovely welcome note, there was a delicious cream tea and even treats for our dog, which we greatly appreciated. The kitchen is really well-equipped, and we found the sofas and bed really comfortable. Cosy and warm, it was perfect for an autumnal break with our dog as there are some lovely walks nearby. We ate at The Castle Inn in Lydford (about 5 mins by car), which was really good and the village also connects to The Granite Way, a shared cycling/walking route which was really good for walks with our dog. Nearby Okehampton and Tavistock were great for stocking up on supplies. We would thoroughly recommend this fabulous cottage without hesitation.
Mr Adamson
Fantastic well equipped barn. Location is stunning and barn is just superb. Would happily stay again
Mrs Macfarlane
Excellent holiday property, extremely comfortable, clean and warm. Furnishings and decor were excellent. Wonderful base to explore Dartmoor from and lots of wonderful pubs with good food to visit.
Miss Turner
We hired both barns for our extended family and we had a lovely stay. The barns are well equipped with beautiful views. Gorgeous decor throughout. Great barbecue area and very dog friendly. Lovely walks into Dartmoor from the barns with lots of useful info on some local walks. The barn is close to a great pub in Lydford and lots to do in the area.
Mrs Brooder
