Everything about Julia’s place is simply charming. The renovated barn is a large space, full of character and everything you need for a few days of bliss. The place is alive with activity and we enjoyed watching the horses, chickens and doves from our window. The highlight for us was sitting in the sauna looking out over the sheep as they graze happily in the field and the view is utterly breathtaking! A close second would be the comfort of the bed in the granary, all I can is that you would have to experience it for yourselves! Located on the border of Devon and Cornwall and a short drive to Dartmoor, we had the most wonderful time exploring and can’t wait to come back, this time with the children in tow as they will no doubt love being on the farm with all the animals. A big thank you Julia for your kindness. You really are a wonderful woman and have created something very special! Thank you for sharing with us!

We had the most cosy, relaxing stay at The Granary. It's spacious with everything you need for your stay, including wonderful bread, jams and fresh apple juice for breakfast. We loved the sauna with views over the countryside- perfect for warming up after a chilly walk. And the wood fired hot tub too. Julia is very friendly and welcoming, and on hand to help with anything you might need.
