Bagtor Granary is a beautifully converted barn located on Bagtor Barton, a family-run beef farm in Ilsington, Devon, which has been in the same family for five generations. Nestled on the outskirts of Dartmoor National Park, this three-bedroom accommodation comfortably sleeps six guests and offers direct, private access to the moors. The property boasts a stylish and contemporary interior, featuring a private hot tub that allows guests to unwind while enjoying the picturesque Devon sunset. Upon arrival, guests benefit from off-road parking and can immediately feel at home in the inviting sitting room equipped with a plush leather sofa, a Smart TV, and a cozy woodburning stove.
The heart of the home is the spacious kitchen/diner, outfitted with modern appliances and ample dining space for six, making it ideal for family meals and gatherings. As the day winds down, guests can indulge in the hot tub before retreating to one of the three well-appointed bedrooms. The master suite features a king-size bed, a Smart TV, and an en-suite shower room, while the additional king-size bedroom and a bunk room with handmade oak frames provide comfortable options for all guests. Each morning can begin with a luxurious soak in the freestanding copper bath, setting the tone for a day of exploration.
Guests are encouraged to engage with the farm life, with opportunities for meet-and-greets with livestock or tours of the farm, depending on the season. The nearby Haytor Rocks and Becky Falls Ancient Woodland Park offer stunning natural landscapes for outdoor enthusiasts.
