About this property

Exceptional Barn. Rural but convenient to Plymouth, Dartmoor and the South Hams

Barnfield "Molly's Haven" is a beautiful barn conversion set within the Devon countryside; spacious, and perfect for families and friends to stay and enjoy this lovely part of the country.

Only a short drive from the A38 means easy access to Plymouth with the Lido, Plymouth Hoe and the Mayflower Steps, the Theatre Royal and the National Marine Aquarium. Travel to the beautiful beaches of the South Hams, the Dartmoor National Park and beyond. The Eden project provides a fantastic family day out. Barnfield is close to the many wedding venues nearby, including Boringdon Hall and the Gaia Spa (Please contact us if you are getting married in the area)

Finished to a high standard, Barnfield is one of 3 properties on site (the owners live in the farmhouse). On walking up the gravel path through the front door into the hallway, off which there is a lounge, snug, utility room, WC, shower and stairs.

The lounge has a smart TV and plenty of comfortable seating. The snug also has a smart TV and is an ideal space for working or playing games.

The large, well-equipped kitchen is accessed via 3 steps, with a range cooker, combination microwave, dishwasher, large fridge (with small freezer above) large table and patio doors opening onto the patio, where there is a fire pit with BBQ grill.

Slate flooring throughout the downstairs. Please bring your slippers.

Upstairs is light and airy. Bedroom 1 has a king size bed and en-suite shower room, Bedroom 2 has a double bed, and Bedroom 3 has twin beds.

There is plenty of car parking and fast fibre broadband. We have a travel cot (please bring own bedding) and high chair, please request on booking.

Maximum occupancy 6, plus 1 infant in the travel cot provided.

The site is in a rural area, and next to Dartmoor Zoo, so you can expect to hear the odd tractor, animals, or maybe the roar of a lion! For this reason we are sorry but we cannot allow pets.

Walk down the track in to the village of Sparkwell, Have a drink or meal at Welbeck Manor. Maybe play a round of golf at nearby Elfordleigh or Boringdon golf clubs.

We strive to keep the property immaculate and provide freshly laundered bedding, bath sheets, hand towels for your use. A cream tea on arrival.

Why they chose this property

We are situated at the end of a private track, but can walk to the village. At only a 5 minute drive to the A38 it is very easy to travel to Plymouth, Exeter, Dartmoor, the beautiful beaches of the South Hams and beyond.

What makes this property unique

Completed in September 2023 you will be staying in a relatively new property which still exudes character with its furnishings, farmhouse kitchen, log burner and stand alone bath. Feeling homely it also has modern touches such as triple glazed windows and patio doors, rain head showers and infrared heating, all for added comfort.
