  • "We had a lovely relaxing stay at Bagtor Granary."

    The cottage was really cosy, the beds were super comfy and the hot tub was lush. There is a fantastic walk right from your doorstep though the woods up to the Moors, we were lucky it snowed when we stayed as it looked like a winter wonderland. We had a lovely stay and we would definitely come back. The welcome basket was a lovely touch too! Thankyou.

  • "What a beautiful warm and cosy place to stay It was so peaceful and quiet."

    The cottage had everything you could ask for. A lovely hot tub to chill out in with clear skies with LOTS of stars. It was just a perfect end to hectic days out. The beds are so comfy. Cottage is only 10minutes away from main roads. You will travel for approx 10minutes through lanes to get there. It’s close to main roads but far enough away to feel remote and relaxed from the hustle and bustle. All you will hear is sheep cows birds and the occasional farm vehicle It’s just a perfect retreat to get away from it all. And a lovely welcome hamper when you arrive with free range eggs, scones, Jam, cream, milk and wine and a wonderful warm welcome from the hosts. We would highly recommend. Thank you for a beautiful stay!

  • "We had a superb stay at Bagtor Granary - the property was exactly per the listing, even better IRL in fact."

    Russell & Carol were friendly and helpful, and the welcome hamper was a nice treat after a long car journey. The hot tub was a lot of fun, and the farm grounds were clean and tidy, and our girls loved seeing/petting the farm animals. The only small/minor comment we have is that the internal walls are quite thin which shouldn't be an issue for most people but resulted in the occasional disturbance of our 4 year old by our 1 year old during the night.

    The owners were very welcoming upon arrival and helped resolve any queries we had immediately. The cottage was lovely and warm, clean and tidy with everything we needed. We all enjoyed the hot tub and experience staying on a working farm! In addition, we ordered some meat from the owners too which was very tasty! Excellent location for getting up onto Dartmoor. We would definitely choose to return here in the future.

    The house is beautiful and the beds were comfy. Our oldest child is still talking about how soft the sheets were 5 days later. The hot tub was a real winner as well. The owners were helpful and friendly and the welcome hamper we arrived to was a nice touch! (The scones were amazing). Thank you for having us!

The property

Resting upon Bagtor Barton, a beef farm that has been in the same family for five generations, on the outskirts of Ilsington, Devon is Bagtor Granary, a stunning, three-bedroom barn conversion.

Situated in the Dartmoor National Park, with direct, private, walking access onto the moor, Bagtor Granary offers a delightful abode for a family of six, complete with a stylish interior, a private hot tub, and charming surroundings.

On arrival, benefit from off-road parking, before entering your new home-from-home, starting off in the contemporary sitting room, complete with a plush leather sofa, a Smart TV, and a woodburning stove, offering the perfect space to unwind after a day of travelling.

Head into the spacious kitchen/diner, fitted with state-of-the-art appliances and dining space for six guests, where you can prepare meals and gather as a family.

As the night unfolds, enjoy an indulgent dip in the private hot tub, watching the sun set over Devon, before venturing upstairs and catching some rest in one of the three well-appointed bedrooms; select between the master king-size with a Smart TV and handy en-suite shower room, a further king-size, and a bunk room, complete with handmade, oak frames.

Awaken to a long soak in the luxury, free-standing copper bath, before heading to the farm for a meet-and-greet with the livestock, a tour of the farm or a meeting with calves and lambs depending on the time of year.

Once you're ready to explore, make your way towards Haytor Rocks where cattle roam freely in the summer, or the beautiful surroundings of Becky Falls Ancient Woodland Park, whilst your nearest amenities can be found in Islington.

Travel slightly further into Dartmoor to discover Widecombe-in-the-Moor an historic thatched village with a 14th century church: try the Café on the Green for brunch, lunch or afternoon tea or sample the local ale at the famous Rugglestone Inn.

Perfect for the adults of your group, be sure to visit the Dartmoor Whisky Distillery, where you can sample some local produce and experience a tour, whilst the Stover Country Park is the ideal landscape for a family walk and picnic.

Newton Abbot is within reach by car, where you'll locate further amenities, along with the chance to attend one of the many race days hosted at Newton Abbot Races, before making your way to the coast, with Meadfoot Beach, Paignton Beach, and Torquay Beach as popular choices for their sweeping, family-friendly, landscapes.

Experience both the coast and country at Bagtor Granary.
