Orchard Barn is spacious, clean & well equipped with everything you might need. The hot tub was well used during our stay. There are lots of places nearby to visit & we had a lovely long walk on Dartmoor, Castle Drogo is a great National Trust property. Highly recommended

We had an amazing stay at the barn. The property is beautiful inside and very well equipped. Jane the owner provided a lovely welcome hamper and explained everything we needed to know. The hot tub was lovely at night just relaxing and looking up at the stars. Can't wait to return next year.
