“We rarely go to the same place twice so this is a top recommendation.”

This place is on the edge of the moor with excellent walks from the doorstep but it’s easy to get to Two Bridges, Dartmeet and Postbridge where many good walks start. One of the nicest Dartmoor towns is Tavistock with good shops, cafes and a gallery. The hosts are very welcoming and the accommodation is spacious, well equipped, warm and comfortable. Internet in very rural locations can be a problem but the dedicated service into the barn achieves enough speed to stream a movie or FaceTime friends. Phone signal is mostly non-existent but picks up within 1km of the Barn; it’s a pleasure to be almost offline anyway. BUT there is a house phone in the Barn which you can use for incoming calls.

“This barn conversion was an absolute delight!”

The location was perfect and the facilities superb. Everything we could possibly need was provided. The owners Sally and Monty were lovely and very helpful.

“This is our second time at Buster Barn and Sally & Monty,s welcome is as always so warming.”

The walks from the cottage are great and access is straight onto the moor with no need to use the car. The Barn is well equiped warm and cosy and and great to come back to after a long walk with the dog. We will booking the property again in the not to distant future.

“Buster Barn is just magical!”

We needed a get away from it all experience and couldn't have asked for any more. The location is wonderful with walks from the door in all directions. We found beautiful little spots with no-one else around, just a few sheep. The owners were friendly and helpful despite being in the midst of planning their own holiday. The accommodation is very comfortable and allowed us to immediately unwind (which doesn't happen very often) with cosy lounge, bath and shower facilities and a homey feel. We couldn't imagine a better break on Dartmoor. Thank you.

“Wonderful barn conversion, incredibly kind and generous hosts.”

Stunningly beautiful location. Sally and Monty couldn't do enough to make my stay perfect. My Golden Retriever Tia loved romping in the arboretum and we both enjoyed watching the birds. Best place I've stayed - and I've been fortunate to have stayed in some lovely places. Thank you!

“Buster Barn is right in the heart of all the very best walks in Dartmoor.”

It is perfectly situated as a great location and is home from home. We had a fantastic week and the owners couldn't do enough to ensure our stay was pleasant.

“It was the best one we have stayed in”

“What a beautiful holiday home, peaceful, clean, a real home from home.”

Sally and Monty make you feel so welcome and the cakes were beautiful along with the milk on arrival. A great base camp for walking, a walk along the disuse Princetown Railway is a must.

- Mrs Eastman, November 2018
“Once again, Sally and Monty were the perfect hosts.”

The cottage was immaculate and the homemade cakes were very welcomed. Sally provided milk and there were enough teabags, coffee and sugar to tide us over. There was enough of everything you need to make this a fantastic holiday. The location is superb, with Tavistock being a short drive away, as is Plymouth. Being able to see the stars at night and the serenity of no traffic is truly magical.

“Everything was provided and we were made to feel very welcome.”

We could not have wished for anyhting more. It was a brilliant holiday which was thoroughly enjoyable. Many thanks.

“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. 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

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.
