First stay in Tractor Barn! Even though we have stayed in other.barns on site we chose the tractor barn as it sleeps upto 6 people and we had family staying with us, this barn is amazing ( as are all the barns ) the layout give maximum room and also privacy we were 5 adults and never felt like we were cramped or ontop of each other.
The setting is so secluded and relaxing, I believe you wouldn’t find this anywhere else.
Sylvia and Christian the owners are so friendly and helpful, will give a full rundown on your chosen barn and will always pop down if asked, don’t think you could ever ask for a more friendly helpful host.
Would i visit again! Definitely without doubt, and can’t wait for next year for our next stay.
Thank you Sylvia

Returned for a 4th visit to DCB for a 40th birthday, this time with the in laws and tractor barn provided plenty of room for the 6 of us.
Once again all the little details have been thought of, you only need to arrive with your bags (and food if you didn't fancy the farm shop down 2 mins down the road)
Perfect rural location with such well maintained grounds and barns. We love it and the only downside is that the dog got rather upset when it was time to leave!

Honestly couldn’t want for a better home from home. Tractor barn is warm, cosy, clean, well furnished and equipped and in an ideal position to explore Devon and Cornwall. Sylvia was a wonderful host, meeting us on arrival and showing us how everything worked and where everything was. She had left a welcome pack of local wine, eggs from her own chickens, home-baked cake (which was delicious!), milk, tea, coffee, and treats for the dog! We also got to sample her home pressed apple juice which was lovely.

Despite not having the best weather, we still had a fabulous week. Visit recommendations include Tintagel Castle, White Lady Waterfall and Devil’s Cauldron and the Eden Project. Also wanted to give a particular recommendation for families to visit Hidden Valley Puzzle Park (20 mins away) which was a brilliant day out for adults and children alike. We also had a fabulous meal at the Springer Spaniel in Lauceston.



Thank you for another lovely stay

Stunning! Will definitely return, we stayed in Tractor barn, location is perfect for travelling around Devon, or just stay put and enjoy the scenery, take a little walk down to the river, or lose track of time in the hot tub.
Home made cake on arrival was very tasty, tea, coffee, milk and eggs make the welcome complete!
So glad we came across this little gem, it’s definitely worth a stay….

This was our 5th visit to Devon Country Barns and our second stay in Tractor Barn. We love it here. The barns are well equipped and it’s lovely to receive a welcome package of cake, eggs etc. The barns are in a secluded valley and if you love ducks, chickens, cats and dogs wandering about, this is the place for you! Our dogs love playing in the river and then relaxing in front of a cosy log burner! We will be back…… again!

A great base from which to explore Devon and Cornwall. A spacious garden with a large 6 person hot tub. We made full use of the first floor terrace area for eating out in the hot dry conditions. Fantastic views from the first floor living area added to our enjoyment of the location. There was ample relaxation space for 6 people and a dog.All 3 bedrooms were very comfortable- good quality mattresses ensuring great sleep .A great place for bringing a dog with ample surrounding fields.Overall a five star experience.

The barn is lovely. Set in beautiful countryside. The river is nearby and had access to fields for the dog. Eggs provided where really tasty. Sylvia ( the owner) is a freindly and we had a lovely chat. Place is close to lots of things to do. We loved it and would visit again. It is very dog freindly.

We enjoyed our stay a lot. At arrival, we were welcomed with a bottle of wine, yummy cake, and selection of local eggs. Sylvia gave us an introduction about the place, and later also some information about places worth to visit in the area. Our barn was very clean and comfortable. We loved to relax in the hot tub. Unfortunately our garden was half open, so we had to keep our full of energy dog on a lead most of the time, but there are enclosed fields on the farm where he could run free. There are lovely paths in the neighbourhood for longer walks as well. Couple minutes away by car is Strawberry Fields Farmers Market with great selection of local products.

We wholeheartedly recommend this place, and hope to visit it again someday.

This property is fabulous. Our family stayed for a week including our dog. A great place to relax and recharge. The hot tub was ready and hot throughout our stay.! A truly peaceful place….total silence when you put your lights out at night. In the day all we heard were sheep grazing, and ducks/gease quacking.
We especially loved the adjoining fields which lead down to a river which our dog especially enjoyed. The two picnic tables and mowed area enhanced the enjoyment. If we were to be really picky the only thing which all of us thought could be improved was the comfort of the beds. We found they were quite soft, but this is a personal preference.

Gorgeous barn with stunning views from every window - the photos don't do it justice. Tractor Barn was really comfortable and spacious. Everything was immaculate, including the garden and hot-tub. The beds were really comfortable with crisp white bed linen. I'm quite fussy and have a keen eye for detail and I really couldn't fault anything, which is pretty amazing. Really enjoyed our weekend break and will be staying longer next time!

A very comfortable and luxurious place to stay for a family get together. Large open living space with 2 outdoor spaces to enjoy the sunshine and hot tub. Lovely touches such as homemade cake welcoming us, with eggs from the Barn's various poultry and treats for our dog. Short dog walks with a stream on their land was also very much appreciated by our dog. Well situated for Dartmoor and beautifully quiet. Thank you Sylvia for pub meal recommendation and your flexibility on our arrival time. Highly recommend.

Tractor Barn is a fantastic place to stay. Sylvia is an amazing host who will go out of her way to help is needed. Loved the cake, wine and flowers which were left for us on arrival. She even left biscuits, a tennis ball and poo bags for our dog. The cottage was spotless and really well kitted out. Cosy! My children loved the hot tub! The location is perfect for the coast and Dartmoor. Just a wonderful place and we can’t wait to go back!!!.

I found the barns by accident, looking for a place to stay for a wedding nearby. From the initial contact, Sylvia was so helpful, getting back to me as soon as she was able re the booking.
On arrival on a dark winter’s night, the barn was a delight, well-appointed and stocked, warm and welcoming and we immediately felt at home. Beds were really comfortable, all the appliances were easy to use and all those little things, like cloths and dishwasher tablets, were provided, as well as a welcome cake!
We didn’t bring our dog, although dogs are allowed, as we were going to be at the wedding all day and evening on Saturday, but kennels are available to leave your dog in if you are out for the day.
We actually decided to stay for an extra night and were so pleased we did as it gave us the chance to explore Exeter and take advantage of the hot tub.
Have to say, it was just lovely. Quiet, comfortable and would love to go again when the weather was good. Good value for the quality of the accommodation too.

Our party was a family of 4 generations plus a very excitable dog (who was visiting for the 3rd time) this was our second stay at the tractor barn which suited us all, the accommodation is extremely clean and comfortable and the extra touches of flowers, homemade cake, fresh eggs from the resident chickens, dog treats, dog ball and toiletries are very much appreciated by us all, Sylvia is so welcoming, helpful, hard working and nothing is too much trouble - even the dog chasing the chicken around the garden. There is plenty of outside space for dogs and children to wear themselves out. We would recommend a trip to the local farm shop (Strawberry Fields) and Summerleaze beach which is perfect for children and dogs.
We really hope to be back soon.

We loved Tractor Barn and the whole set up . Sylvia was very helpful and welcoming.
To make it even more lovely we would have felt the following useful:

More sofas in the lounge. On holiday you want to lounge around and the chairs and sofas only seated 6. This is obviously adequate but two of us usually ended up sitting on the floor.

A book for guests to write recommendations in - restaurants, pubs, walks, beaches etc. This would have been very useful.

Theses are not criticisms but hopefully helpful pointers. We will definitely be returning

We stayed in Tractor Barn for 6 nights the end of July. From the moment we booked Sylvia was helpful and very friendly. On arrival she came to meet us and gave us suggestions of where to shop and areas to visit with our two dogs.
The barn itself was beautifully presented and we had a beautiful home-made cake, bottle of wine and flowers, which was a lovely touch.
There was plenty of room in the barn and it has everything you could want. Beds were comfy and my daughters thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub. It was lovely to sit outside in the evenings and so quiet.
Plenty of room for our two dogs to run around and they enjoyed swimming in the river every morning and playing with the resident cocker spaniels when they came to visit.
A huge thank you Sylvia, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay with you at Devon Country Barns.
Elaine, Gwyn, girls, Taz & Hunter

We had a wonderful stay in the the Tractor Barn for 3 nights. We were 2 babies and 4 adults and Sylvia provided travel cots and high chairs which lightened the car load! The Barn was clean and tidy and very comfortable. We enjoyed the BBQ and although we weren't quite brave enough to get in the hot tub (just a bit too cold!) - it looked very tempting! We loved walking down to the river at the bottom of the garden, it really is a perfect spot for a few days break! Fishing nearby for the boys and lovely walks for everyone else (including the spaniel we also brought with us!) Everyone left very happy - thank you so much, we really hope to be back!

For us and our excitable one- year old dog , it was a beautiful place- easily accessible but feeling like you are in the middle of nowhere.Highlights were the beautiful fields and river at the bottom of the location , the welcome pack and generally lovely hospitality from the hosts - and a couple of visits to recommended pubs with fantastic food. Also try the Arundell Arms, a 5 min drive away in Lifton.
It really was a luxury barn and every need had been considered. I would return in a heartbeat. My favourite night was a barbecue in the garden using the delicious meat and produce from Strawberry Fields, a great farm shop close by.
Thank you to Sylvia and Kristian- who work very hard to provide a ( luxury) home from home.

The pictures on the web site do not do this lovely place justice!
My husband and I have stayed at many self catering places over the years but this has surpassed all of them - the beds are super comfy and cosy, the cleanliness was second to none, and Sylvia has thought of everything to make your stay as perfect as possible. Nothing was too much trouble for her and she always had a smile on her face!! The hot tub was so clean and beautifully positioned to watch to sun go down - they even provide hot tub towels and dressing gowns as well as plastic champagne flutes!! Sylvia makes an amazing cake to greet you with and eggs from her chickens - watch your dog(s) as they roam around freely!!
I could go on and on with compliments as there are so many to give - a BIG thank you to Sylvia and her family xx

This was our second visit to Tractor Barn and it did not disappoint. We had the most wonderful, relaxing week and felt completely at home in the accommodation. Our two boys loved the river yet again and the chickens roaming around. We all really enjoyed the jacuzzi and the perfect views across the valley. My parents in law joined us this time and they were also delighted with all aspects of Tractor Barn and they vowed to return, as do we next year. Thank you Sylvia and Kristian for making us so welcome yet again.

What a fantastic family weekend we’ve had! Tractor Barn is ideal come rain or shine. Everything one needs is provided and it’s beautifully comfortable and warm - underfloor heating and log burner give a cosy ambiance on the wettest of days. We loved the hot tub...even in the pouring rain ( the towel hanger an excellent idea!)and the dogs thoroughly enjoyed playing in the nearby river. So many delightful walks in the area and good ale pubs..... but really, you don’t need to leave the confines of Devin Country Barns to have a fantastic holiday. Thank you Sylvie, we will definitely be back.

This was a completely different holiday to what we normally do as would of been somewhere abroad but wow are we glad we found this amazing place. It was everything you dream of, a quiet, comfortable, clean and relaxing place to stay. We rented the 6 berth Tractor Barn, it was spacious inside and out. Each barn has it’s own secluded area with bbq, seating and hot tub all in very good condition. I would certainly recommended a stay and will definitely be booking again.

We had a fabulous time at Tractor Barn, upon arrival we were welcomed by Sylvia and made to feel very welcomed. The grounds are stunning and the children felt at home instantly. It’s a really safe space for children and perfect for dogs, even my very nervous rescue felt very relaxed in the setting. My husband went on a run with Kristian and I can honestly say it felt like we were staying with old friends! I have rebooked Friday Feb 2021 before I had even left! We usually stay in Cornwall on the coast and it mad a lovely change, the drive into Cornwall was very short so we still was able to enjoy the coast whilst exploring Devon. Highly recommend Strawberry Fields Farm shop, amazing food, it was lovely to not have to visit a mainstream supermarket during our stay.

A delightful luxurious treat greeted us after a long Covid lockdown, entering this luscious green farm we could breathe in the country air. Exhilarating. Spectacular undulating views of green fields with sheep feeding with no care in this uncertain world. A wonderful earthful grounding. Upon entering the barn the delight was ample space and natural light with a vista of the gardens and fields through each window from the kitchen and lounge areas. A treat to sit on the cushioned church bench aligning the wooden dining table adorned with a bunch of Dutch Irises, savouring Sylvia’s home baked scrumptious lemon drizzle cake with the outdoor greenery as the view. Rewarding and relaxing. The rays of sunlight through the wood framed windows was invigorating.
From surfing at Watergate Beach to exploring the woodland waterfalls in Lydford Gorge and Skywire zip lining over the Eden Project coming home to BBQ superb steaks from the local Strawberry Fields Farm butcher with roasting their homegrown vegetables after a soothing hot tub soak (a spa treat) under the clear country skies, a peaceful nights sleep was welcomed under the comfy luxury feather duvets. A morning ramble down to the farm river stream was our dogs delight before a hearty breakfast of fresh farm eggs generously supplied from Sylvia’s chicken/hen coup. A most well equipped kitchen to luxury and hot tub towels to cosy comfy interiors made our stay more than home from home.
Sylvia is ever present with her attention to detail and guests needs. Along with her family Kristian and kids they make it a wholehearted family experience. Thank you for sharing this wonderful special place you call home. You make it home from home.

The barn was lovely and hosts very welcoming.
Barn was modern inside light and airy but retained its character charm and could easily be made to feel cosy with thick curtains and shutters if the weather were to be less sunny. Open plan upstairs living area was spacious and comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed for a week away, with dishwasher and microwave and dual butler sinks. Plenty of cutlery, crockery and pans. We were greeted with a bunch of beautiful lilies in a vase , a homemade cake and freshly laid hen and duck eggs from the owners own poultry, These were delicious. The stable style door and patio doors leading to a raised outdoor dining area added to the charm and light airy feeling of the barn. There was a lovely modern woodburner but we did not need it fortunately in July. Beds were extremely comfortable with luxurious bedding, Bathrooms modern, immaculate and great showers, plenty of hot water and enormous bath. Lovely plush towels and robes provided.
Outside space - was plenty and well presented but not enclosed which we had to be careful of with the dog as we had a neighbouring field of rams with no sheep fence just a post and rail fence. The hot tub was an added bonus and we thoroughly enjoyed using it every day - relaxing with a drink in the setting sun, The loudest sounds were the birds and the rams munching grass in the adjacent field. You are in the middle of rolling fields, trees and livestock - so tranquility and relaxation is the theme. It is a short drive to any shops, pubs or eatery.The outside areas felt private. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you
For the dog owners - the place is completely dog friendly/welcoming, complete with welcome treats, tennis ball and complimentary poo bags. . The 12 acres of field belonging to the property are accessible with benches to sit at by a lovely stretch of shallow river. Our dog loved paddling and playing in the water. However as mentioned there is livestock a plenty so dogs need to be on a lead (except in the field by the river which seems fully enclosed by sheep wire as far as I could tell) unless completely trustworthy around livestock. Tractor Barn has a good sized, pretty but not enclosed garden as mentioned so if we were sitting outside the dog had to be on a lead. There is also no walking direct from the barn as it is all working farm land. For bigger dogs needing more exercise be prepared to drive to suitable areas - not a major issue as Dartmoor is on your doorstep and both North and South coasts with magnificent cliff and beach walks, only an hours drive. Most beaches seemed to have dog friendly areas as were most pubs we found.

We spent last week staying in Tractor Barn at Devon Country Barns. It was such a relaxing week and the hosts Sylvia and Kristian could not have been more welcoming. This was our first holiday since the COVID pandemic had begun so we were pleased to see how well the hosts had put safety precautions in place. The barn was sparkling clean and sanitised, there were gloves, masks and sanitiser for us to use and the cleaners at the end of the week wore full PPE. This all meant that we could enjoy our week away, stress free. The setting was delightful and our two boys really enjoyed messing around in the river and finding all sorts of wildlife. I personally enjoyed the hot tub most of all and sitting in it in the evening, watching the sun go down was a real highlight. The beds were reallly comfortable with duck/goose down duvets, there were lots of soft white towels and towels for the hot tub, White Company toiletries and lots of kitchen bits such as clingfilm, tinfoil, washing up liquid and laundry pods. Sylvia and Kristian gave great advice about where to go for days out and where to eat. We had three wonderful pub meals and great days out at the beach at Bude and Widemouth and walks on Dartmoor. All in all it was the perfect week away and on returning home we have booked to go again in a few months time. Thank you DCB’s - we could not have asked for a better week away.

We has a fantastic stay here for my husbands 50th. We took over two other properties as well. The tractor Barn was a great for us as the main hub with its open plan space where we could all gather, eat & socialise. Sylvia was so accommodating, we had several dogs with us & they were welcomed with tennis balls & plenty of space for walking & the stream a real bonus for our water loving pack. I cannot recommend highly enough, all properties were finished to a beautiful standard, with high end equipment & furnishings.
The hot tubs were an added bonus & still pleasant in March in the wind & rain!

Sylvia was very welcoming from start to the end of stay. Booking the barn was very easy and the process was quick too. On arrival, we were very pleased with the appearance of the barn. Took a night to get use to being downstairs and the living room and kitchen was upstairs. Set up within the barn was beautiful and had excellent views from all windows. Kitchen area was well equipped from baking utensils to wine glasses for the use in the hot tub. Barn was not cold even though Storm Dennis hit us hard. Shame the weather waste bad to use the outdoor facilities. Location of the barns was near to the A30 and good driving distance to nearby towns. For local food shopping, a trip to Strawberry Fields Farm Shop is a must. We will be definitely returning back to the barns even if its two of us using Tractor barn. Thank you Sylvia for your hospitality.

Thanks for a relaxing holiday at Tractor barn. The accommodation and location are great. Hot tub very popular with us all. Surrounding fields and the river great for the dog to run off energy! The cake, eggs and wine were also very welcome! Lots to explore, great days out at beaches, Dartmoor and various towns including Padstow and Looe. Hope to visit again.

We had a great holiday, Tractor Barn was excellent providing everything we needed and the surroundings were gorgeous. Such a lovely setting in a beautiful valley with the river a short walk away. We enjoyed exploring all the areas surrounding including a boat trip at Plymouth, visited Fowey, spoilt ourselves with Rick Stein's fish and chips in Padstow, explored Dartmoor and had the best cream tea at Lustleigh's amazing Tea Rooms. We enjoyed relaxing at Tractor Barn and the great hot tub too. Highly recommend Elephant's Nest Pub food and the local Farm Shop and Café called Strawberry Fields. Sylvia was very welcoming and helpful and makes great cake plus we enjoyed the eggs, wine and apple juice. We fully intend to come back again when we can!!

Just returned from a truly wonderful stay in Tractor Barn. Immaculate accommodation, idyllic surroundings and safe exercise areas for our dogs. New owners, Sylvia and family, made us feel extremely welcome so we could enjoy our stay as a real home from home. Our dogs had a great time running around the paddock and splashing in the river. On arrival we all enjoyed the scrumptious home baked cake and the dogs even had some doggy treats! Can’t recommend Devon Country Barns enough. Thanks again Sylvia and family.

Sylvia and Kristien have just taken over and they have maintained the very high standards of Tractor Barn and the other cottages. It is wonderful for dogs with fields and a river to walk to, so I am delighted they are maintaining a dog friendly venue. We will definitely be back and Devon Country Barns is highly recommended.

We had an amazing time at Tractor Barn. The site itself is stunning with views across the fields and a lovely country atmosphere. The accommodation was really high quality and provided us with a fantastic break. The hosts couldn't have been more friendly, helpful and welcoming. Can't wait to go back as soon as possible.

Just returned from an Easter break having stayed in Tractor Barn. We were warmly welcomed by the new owners and given a tour of the property. It was immaculate, homely and the extra touches of White Company toiletries and fresh eggs from their hens were an added bonus. The setting is absolutely stunning, oh so tranquil yet conveniently has a wonderful farm shop with cafe five minutes drive away. Tractor Barn is fully kitted out with all amenities to prepare and cook family meals but when we wanted a break we ventured to The Cornish Arms in Tavistock (20 minute drive) where we found the food and service to be exceptional and the Sunday Lunch at The Springer Spaniel near Launceston was delicious!

During our stay we visited Bude which has a magnificent sandy beach which was a 40 minute drive (not bad considering it was an Easter weekend) and Ledford Gorge - 15 minutes drive which is definitely worth a visit! A huge benefit of the barn is the hot tub which we are quite happy to admit we spent a great deal of time in just taking in the breathtaking views (with a glass of bubbly in hand) and at night stargazing!!! Our memories of Tractor Barn will be cherished for many years to come - there is nothing better than being with family in a beautiful environment in glorious sunshine! We will definitely be recommending it to friends and we hope to return soon!

This is 2nd time we’ve stayed at Devon Country Barns and it didn’t disappoint again!

We have stayed in Cow Barn, now Tractor Barn and we are booking up Apple House for Easter.

We love this place, it is exactly want you want to get away from things and relax!

Wonderful week, this is our fourth visit to the Tractor Barn and the whole family love it. If there were any negatives to mention it would have to be the lack of an upstairs toilet and TV in the bedrooms. It would also have been nice if someone had visited us after our arrival to see if everything was okay. Having said all that, we would have no hesitation in future visits.



Richard replied more than 1 year ago
Hi Phil, Apologies for not coming down to see if everything was ok - I think we assumed that as this was your 5th visit and we know that our properties are tip-top that you wouldn't want to be disturbed by us knocking on the door! We'll make sure we do next time. Glad you enjoyed your stay and hope we see you again next year, Kind regards, Richard

We are coming back to Tractor Barn for several years now and we are outright enjoying it. The landlords Ute and Richard are more than friendly and helpful, eg when we needed a vet, Richard drove us there.The barn itself and the whole estate are very clean and tidy. Our two Flat Coated Retrievers loved it, especially the river at the bottom field.

Situated right at the border of Devon and Cornwall there is plenty to do and see: coast and beaches, stately homes and gardens, romantic fishing ports and plenty of excellent restaurants.

Wir waren im Mai zum 7. mal in Devon Country Barns und kommen im nächsten Jahr gerne wieder. Es stimmt einfach alles und Ute und Richard sind die besten Gastgeber, die man sich nur wünschen kann. Wahrscheinlich, weil sie von ihrem erfahrenen Team, fünf Flatcoated Retrievern und Herrn Fred stets kompetent unterstützt werden. Das Gelände ist herrlich, ein Paradies für Mensch und Tier. Die Häuser sind liebevoll und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet, es fehlt an nichts. Unsere Waschmaschine war defekt, schon nach einem Tag war das Problem gelöst. Die Umgebung, Gastronomie und das Dartmoor sind traumhaft schön, wir entdecken immer wieder Neues.

This was our second time staying at Devon Country Barns and our first time in Tractor Barn. Once again, it was a fantastic break. We arrived to a home made cake and nice bottle of wine and Ute had kindly unpacked our food shopping which was delivered before we'd arrived. The accommodation was spacious and very comfortable with amazing views from every window. We took our dog this time and it offered the perfect surroundings with a huge field next to the barns for him to run around.

We enjoyed the hot tub and log fire each evening.

The farm shop in Lifton is amazing, offering a delicious range of meats, cheeses, cakes and chutneys.

It was a shame to have to leave so we are already looking at when we can go back!

Devon Country Barns is a definite recommendation for anyone looking for a relaxing and luxurious country getaway.



Perfect Christmas getaway.

Spent our Christmas week in Tractor Barn - our 2nd stay at Devon Country Barns. A lovely, homely barn with everything you could possibly need. Loved the extra touches that Richard and Ute provide - there are always home baked goods and fresh eggs on arrival and I always enjoy The White Company toiletries that are provided. Whatever the weather, we can always pop our dog down for a run around near to the river at the bottom of the field and we always enjoy the hot tubs that come with each barn! Richard and Ute are the perfect hosts - warm and friendly. Our whole family love it here - including the dog, who loves to play with the 5 other Flat-Coated Retrievers and the adorable Terrier who lives in the big house.

A lovely barn in great condition, warm and cosy when we arrived with a cream tea for us all. We enjoyed listening to owls and star gazing from the hot tub (it’s at the end of the garden from tractor barn so take your flip flops to save a painful walk across the gravel!)
Kitchen was well stocked with gadgets and very good quality ovens which made cooking for everyone easy.
Super comfy beds in all of the rooms which were immaculate, extra towels provided for the hot tub which was great and white company toiletries were a nice addition.
We had a lovely weekend and would definitely go back.
Two small things which could be improved (but very very small things it’s picking holes really!)
- cream tea was lovely on arrival but a pint of milk instead of UHT cartons would have been great
- we couldn’t find any kindling to make the fire with or an axe to chop kindling, we made do with lots of firefighters though so it didn’t affect our enjoyment.
