Food and Drink

Devon and in particular Dartmoor is blessed with rolling farmland and huge coastlines which result in an abundance of high quality meat, game, fish and fresh vegetables which can be found both in local restaurants, local farmer's markets and local butchers, bakers and greengrocers in Bovey Tracey and Moretonhampstead.

High End Dining

Family Days Out

Relax at Lower Harton

Three generations and three cars arrived at the BARN to a very warm welcome from Sue and Roger. The BARN is very unique and innovative with up to date technology ( many thanks Roger for the tour ). The accommodation and pool are fabulous and very much appreciated. We used the pool every day but the highlight was after dark with the pool lighting, music playing, and we even had some dancing at the pool side !!! The family enjoyed days out around the area and some just enjoyed the garden and feeding the fish in the pond. A most enjoyable and relaxing holiday thanks to a unique building with Sue and Roger’s attention to detail. Many thanks from us all. The Kerr family.
