“The Hayloft is lovely.”

Plenty of room, and light and airy. It is in an ideal spot, close to many of the well-known sights of Dartmoor, plus there are some lovely walks to take from the grounds, without having to use the car. Astrid and Peter are very friendly and helpful. It was a perfect week, we had a wonderful time. Thank you!

“The location of the property was perfect for us.”

Tucked away behind the owners home it was peaceful and private. There was easy access to Dartmoor and surrounding towns and villages. Lovely local walks for dogs and humans. Decor, furnishings, crockery, cutlery and linen all very nice. Spotlessly clean, beautiful en suites to all bedrooms. Wonderful warm welcome by the owners and their children.

“Wonderfully spacious & peaceful converted barn”

Family of 4 (2 boys 13 & 15). We arrived to a warm & friendly welcome from Astrid who introduced us to our accommodation and was only too happy to explain everything in detail. Fresh eggs from the resident chickens and freshly cut daffodils were a nice little extra. An extremely spacious open plan living area that suited us perfectly which made for a relaxing living space. Having an en-suite to all bedrooms was a great boon, especially with 2 teenagers. For those of you who like a real fire the wood burner is just the ticket to get the room nice and cosy. My youngest particularly enjoyed feeding the horses in the adjacent field the odd carrot & apple and making acquaintance with the sheep. This really is a peaceful location which is great for anyone wanting to get away from it all. For those wanting to explore there are plenty a walks to go on. Our boys particularly enjoyed a soggy walk to Becky Falls through the woods, making our way from the bottom up to the Cafe for a well-earned piece of cake & coffee. Following Astrid's recommendation we drove out to Grimspound and walked back to the Hayloft taking in some beautiful views of Dartmoor (very kindly driving me back to pick up the car afterwards). Although on the edge of Dartmoor, Newton Abbot is only 20-25 mins or so away and most other urban areas are easily accessed. All in all this was a fabulous relaxing week and Astrid makes a wonderful host; the boy's definitely want to come back.

“The Hayloft is perfect, a lovely, peaceful location, a stylish but comfortable home from home (it does not feel remotely like a holiday let) with everything so thoughtfully & kindly provided by Astrid and Peter.”

We could not have wished or asked for more. It was hard to tear ourselves away and head for home but we were of one mind, we would all love to return! A big thank you.

This year cottage was The Hayloft Devon in the Dartmoor National Park. We was warmly met by the owner Astrid who was fantastic and very helpful infoming us of some nice places to walk too and visit . The barn was very clean and very well equipped for a great stay Great log burner. A nice plus was 2 lambs were born on our third day and was lovely to see. I would not think twice in recommending this property to anyone. Roll on to next year for our next helpful holiday property .

“Lovely location, quiet & peacful.”

We felt very welcome by the owners and although we had no issues at all during our stay there was always the offer of help if we were to need anything. A thoroughly relaxing week.

The property

This lovely cottage converted from a hayloft above stables is situated in the peaceful hamlet of Water, just 400 yards from the pub in the Devon village of Manaton on the edge of Dartmoor.

This is a relaxing country base for families or couples.

From here, take the stairs up to the open plan living space, where you will want to gaze at the amazing views over fields to Black Hill.

The hand built kitchen with dining area features at one end, whilst at the other end the leather sofas are comfortably positioned by a cosy wood burning stove.

The three bedrooms are comfortable, all being en suite.

A traditional Devon courtyard outside is a lovely place to eat at the table, and beyond the owners’ garden you have your own enclosed private garden with a picnic bench to enjoy.

Nine acres of gardens with pond and fields welcome you to wander, or head off along a half mile walk through woods to Lustleigh Cleave and the River Bovey.
