Is Buster Barn Right For Your Group

Discover why this cottage is the one for your party or family reunion...

For Families
The Dartmoor setting provides endless outdoor exploration with moorland walks and wildlife spotting opportunities. The open-plan layout means parents can keep an eye on children easily. The barn works better for older children who can appreciate the countryside location and walking opportunities. Very young children would need close supervision around the wood-burning stove and due to the rural moorland setting with its natural terrain.
Groups Will Love...
The exposed granite stone walls form the most striking feature of this barn conversion. Original agricultural stonework runs throughout the interior spaces creating authentic barn character. These thick Devon granite walls would have sheltered livestock and stored hay for generations before conversion. The stone provides natural insulation and gives every room a sense of history. Combined with the timber roof beams overhead, the stonework makes this feel like a proper working barn.
Pet Friendly
Dogs are welcome at Buster Barn making it perfect for walking holidays with your pet. The Dartmoor National Park location means moorland paths and countryside trails start right from the door. Open moorland provides off-lead exercise opportunities whilst quieter woodland paths suit dogs who prefer calmer walks. The stone barn has a practical interior that works well for muddy paws after countryside adventures. Water bowls and towels are essential kit to bring along.
