Family getaway
A beautiful house in a beautiful position. The hosts were welcoming and the homemade cake on arrival was delicious, thank you. The first part of our stay was during a heatwave so we didn’t wander too far from the stunning garden and shady outdoor eating area, other than to Manaton show. Highly recommend this gem of a property.

Wonderful property in an fantastic location.
We were 2 families with teens - and 2 dogs. Lovely welcome and plenty of lovely extras which I included a beautiful home made cake! Perfect for all of us - room for the teens to do their thing and adults theirs! Plenty walks on the doorstep and the local pub within 10 min walk had lovely food and the landlord was so friendly and couldn’t do enough to accommodate - we went to the local weekly quiz and had a great night. The owners were so helpful - we did have an issue but it was resolved immediately and we were treated to a last night BBQ on top of a hill ! A big hill - what a wonderful end to a lovely week. Ideal for dogs too - even our springer could roam freely in the garden and not escape. Highly recommended. And a hot tub ! What more could you ask for !?

perfect escape
We all loved this house, which is well laid out and equipped for a family get together and very spacious. It's a great combination of a traditional, big house and modern fittings - plenty of hot water, great kitchen etc. Walks from the door on to the moor, and wonderful views. Amazing starry skies. We'd love to come back one day.

Why they chose this property

Town Barton is a wonderful home in the heart of the village that enjoys unspoiled views across Dartmoor to Haytor. The garden is a gem, south facing, warm and sunny.

The village of Manaton sits in Dartmoor national park yet is only 15 minutes drive from the A38 dual carriageway giving excellent access to other parts of Devon.
