This property is one of two studio apartments in this converted barn, with this, the first-floor apartment, being accessed via a flight of external stairs which lead to the front door. On entering the property, guests will find that the open-plan space has everything that they will need to make themselves at home. In the lounge area of the room, sofa seating allows guests to take advantage of the spectacular views, as well as to enjoy the Smart TV/DVD with Freeview and Netflix.

Beautiful, well presented and cosy apartment set in an amazing part of Dartmoor. The building is set in a great location so there isnt too far a drive to some lovely days out and country walks. Also a large enclosed garden my dog loved. There are country lanes in the area which you cant really avoid due to it being a rural area. But Once you reach Read morethe main road Tavistock is less than 10 mins up the road with supermarkets and restaurants. I would definitely love to return in the future Hide

Higher Manor is a little gem of a place. Warm, comfortable and very welcoming. Everything you need for a peaceful break away from the rat race is here.

We had a fantastic week in The Barn, Jo and Jack were fantastic hosts and were on hand for advice on the local area. Dartmoor is easily accessible from the doorstep and there is plenty to do locally and further afield. Excellent food and hospitality down the lane at the Peter Tavy Inn. Would definitely come back.

Great position with walks from the door provided you are ok with hills! You can find flattish walks nearby with great views. Local pub is friendly and reasonably priced...just a mile away but down a pretty steep narrow hill so you might prefer to drive

Lovely accommodation, views and garden area perfect. Made to feel welcome. Tea towels, clothes, coffee provided, although we didn't use as had packed our own (not all cottages are catered for equally). Perfect place for us to use as a base to visit friends and family.
