“Absolute bliss”

My husband and myself stayed here from 15-22 sept 2018 with our dog. We absolutely loved it here and did not want to return home. It is a beautiful cottage with amazing views in a very peaceful setting. The owners Sally and Monty were absolutely brilliant. Fresh flowers and cakes on arrival. Anything we needed we just had to ask and it was not a problem. Could not have asked for a better place to spend our wedding anniversary.

Anything we needed we just had to ask and it was not a problem. Could not have asked for a better place to spend our wedding anniversary. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to escape their busy lives for a very relaxing break away. Keep up the good work Sally and Monty xx

“Buster barn is an excellent cottage situated in a picturesque setting.”

Very peaceful area with lots to explore. Sally and Monty were very friendly and it was a pleasure to meet them. The cottage itself had everything anyone would need. It was very clean and comfy and for the time of year it was warm inside. I would recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday as it is very peaceful here and did me the world of good, totally rested now .

“The location and barn is fabulous.”

The owners friendly and helpful. The garden and views are amazing. The area is wonderful for walks and exploring Dartmoor. Our only negative point would be the access as you have around 3 miles of very narrow (and I mean narrow only 1 car width wide) lanes to get to the barn with very few passing places if any for the last 3/4 mile. If you had a new car or were not happy doing a lot of dodgy reversing I would think before booking. We are used to lanes and have an older car which was already scratched so no probs.

“Buster Barn is situated in an idyllic, tranquil location with stunning views.”

It was a beautiful setting to relax in after a day out on the moors. The outdoor space is private to the barn. Sally and Monty are friendly and helpful. We were there during the hot weather and they kindly bought a fan to help with cooling the cottage. They are really responsive to their guests and this extra touch added to the enjoyment of our stay. Superb week!

“The owners of Buster Barn were very helpful without being intrusive.”

The bird feeder provided us with a week of birdwatching at close quarters. There were wonderful walks from the door.

“Sally and Monty, our hosts were very welcoming and went out of their way to help us.”

Such a comfortable and cosy cottage, even the cats and dog made us welcome. I would highly recommend Buster Barn and look forward to another return visit.

“A very comfortable spacious cottage in a peaceful and scenic location.”

Well equipped with a lovey patio area and a private garden with superb views. Sally & Monty the hosts are very welcoming and helpful, immediately making you feel at home. This is a wonderful location for walking, as access onto the Moor is on the doorstep and quick vehicle access to Tavistock, Princetown, or Yelverton allows for easy visits to further afield. This is gem of a cottage, where you can really enjoy your holiday and would be very happy to return to.

“Buster Barn is a great base for walking and visiting.”

The walking in the immediate area (starting from the front door) can be tailored into either half or full days. Good moor walking abounds and you’ll likely meet no-one, those we did meet were local and really friendly. Visiting; Tavistock is a lovely centre with interesting shops, deli, wholefood, provisions, gallery and pannier market - oh, and the amazing cheese shop. Okehampton, we were expecting to have flourished since the bypass - not at all, it has a museum and Waitrose! Totnes is right across the moor but always worth a visit as is Bovey Tracy with the Devon Guild of craftsmen in a very imposing mill building - lots of good work there for any budget. And if you visit Belstone, have lunch at the Tors Inn and then go and see David Gundry in his amazing pottery just down the lane. The owners, Sally and Monty live across the yard and are lovely people. The accommodation is very well appointed and spaxious for a 2 person place. It’s very private and has amazing views across to. Line of nearby tors. The nearby villages are worth walking through.

The property

In the small hamlet of Sampford Spiney, tucked away at the end of a private drive is Buster Barn, a detached single-storey converted granite barn.

You have the best of both worlds here, scenic and secluded, yet close to interesting moorland towns Buster Barn is well placed for exploring wild and rugged Dartmoor.

The spacious open-plan living area with an oak fitted kitchen, armchairs and sofa bed (converts to double bed for alternative sleeping), has glazed double doors to the courtyard garden - a lovely place to spend time.

The spacious double bedroom is tranquil and inviting and has a huge en suite bathroom.

Buster Barn is surrounded by an enclosed courtyard where there is a table and chairs, barbecue and ornamental pond (netted), over which a neat little trip trap bridge leads to gently sloping hillside garden and arbour with spectacular long views to a panorama of tors.

You can walk via a small lane to the open moor and Crip Tor and Ingra Tor are both around ¾ mile away.

Further afield, the market town of Tavistock has an indoor pool, cinema and plenty of shops and restaurants, and Plymouth, Devon's Ocean City is within an easy drive.
