Description
Yelverton 1.7 miles.
The Barn at Yeoland House is a stunning 17th-century converted barn, nestled off a wooded lane just 500 yards from the golf club.
It sits within the extensive grounds and gardens of the owners’ friendly farmhouse in Yelverton, Devon.
With a woodburning stove, a pet-friendly policy, and countryside surroundings, this wonderful abode welcomes families and friends, idyllic for a rural retreat in the heart of the Dartmoor National Park.
This detached cottage features private access and parking, with a gravel path leading through a charming flower and shrub garden to ten steps that ascend to a raised, unfenced garden (use caution).
A further eight uneven steps lead down to the entrance.
A paddock is available for walking dogs, and there is storage for bicycles.
Inside, the cottage combines simplicity with sophistication, featuring limestone floors downstairs and wood flooring upstairs.
The spacious, light-filled, open-plan living/dining/kitchen area is well-appointed with a dishwasher, microwave, fridge-freezer, electric oven, and induction hob, all housed in handcrafted cupboards.
The space also includes a woodburning stove, a TV with a Blu-ray player, and glazed double doors on either side—one offering views of the garden and the other opening onto a patio/decked area with lovely, long, wooded rural views.
From the living area, two staircases lead to different parts of the home: one ascends to a mezzanine single bedroom with a table football and games, while the other descends to two additional bedrooms.
These include a king-size bedroom with storage and TV and a king-size (zip/link) bedroom with storage.
The lower-ground-floor level also features a beautifully-presented bathroom with a roll-top, freestanding bath and a walk-in shower, a utility room (with a washing machine and tumble dryer) that opens to a garden via eight steps, and a small shower room with a corner walk-in shower.
The cottage sleeps a maximum of four adults and one child.
Brilliantly designed, it is highly recommended and conveniently located near excellent cycling routes and walking paths.
Yelverton situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the edge of Dartmoor, offers churches, pubs, shops, a post office, golf, tennis/badminton, and horse riding.
Nearby attractions include the 13th-century Buckland Abbey, once home to Sir Francis Drake (now managed by the National Trust), and the enchanting Garden House gardens, both within 2 miles.
Tavistock is a short drive away, while Plymouth, with its theatres, cinemas, shops, aquarium, watersports, and National Trust property Saltram House, is just a little further.

What guests are saying
An attractive, very comfortable and really well appointed property that was ideal for our needs thank you.
What a lovely hidden away place in the heart of the countryside!
We loved the space in the Barn, with its generous front room, kitchen and bedrooms. My son loved the little mezzanine bedroom where he could hide away by himself! We really appreciated having the use of the adjoining enclosed field to exercise our Labrador in the morning, though she was also spoilt for choice with lovely walks nearby. We had our extended family over (who live locally) for lunch and the Barn was the ideal space for entertaining. The lovely lady who owns the Barn and lives next door could not have been more helpful - and the cake she left us was delicious! Thank you for a wonderful stay.
Lovely accommodation and setting.
Communication with hosts not great but we have been assured this will improve. Beware of low ceiling in the kitchen, probably just over 6ft! (My tall husband had real trouble as he couldn’t stand upright!) Quite a few flies but not the hosts problem as countryside location but they were quite annoying. Not a reason not to book, maybe just bring a fly swat!
