Guests say

Higher Weddicott Barn receives glowing reviews for its spacious, well-equipped, and stylish accommodation. Guests praise the welcoming hosts, Sue and Dave, and the property's ability to exceed expectations. The serene setting and proximity to local attractions, alongside the comfortable and sociable living spaces, make it a highly recommended choice for a peaceful getaway.

The barn is consistently described as spotless and extremely clean, indicating a high standard of cleanliness maintained by the hosts.

The property's location is praised for its beautiful views, privacy, and proximity to the town and local attractions, although the narrow lanes nearby are noted.

Reviewers find the barn to be comfortable, cosy, and well-appointed, with spacious bedrooms and a warm atmosphere.

The barn is lauded for being well-equipped and thoughtfully designed, with ensuite bathrooms for all rooms and great social spaces, though a suggestion for a grab bar in the showers indicates a minor area for improvement.

While guests express gratitude for the warm welcome and helpfulness of the hosts, there is no mention of gifts, so it is not possible to assess thoughtfulness in this context.

About this property

Chagford 1 mile. Resting on the outskirts of Chagford in the Dartmoor National Park, close to the river Teign, is this wonderfully renovated barn conversion, Higher Weddicott Barn. Enjoy the spectacular views of Dartmoor: take a five minute walk from the property to experience the scenery from Meldon rocks: ideal for a morning run or to just blow away the cobwebs! This historic granite barn was built in the 1700s and has retained much of its Dartmoor threshing barn character, whilst adding contemporary touches for couples, friends, and families alike to enjoy; a plethora of things to see and do await in a stunning part of Devon. The property also benefits from a private supply of Dartmoor spring water (purified and regularly tested). After soaking up the views of Haytor in the distance, be welcomed into the warmth of Higher Weddicott Barn, boasting underfloor heating to ensure comfort whatever the weather. The light-filled open-plan living room comes with everything you need for a self-catering experience, and the impressive floor-to-ceiling windows frame the stunning views.

  • Richard

    Lovely barn type property on 2 levels kept in immaculate condition. Friendly and helpful owners nearby to guide and attend to any small queries, plus to give advice on local eateries, especially as we had a dog with us. Rural location in countryside but 10 minutes to nearest town. All in all a very relaxing holiday.

  • Frances

    Lovely to have animals around us. Highly recommend.

  • Louise

    The barn is stunning and so comfy, is the best we’ve ever stayed in. Area is fantastic and Dartmoor beautiful. Chagford is a very special place as well. Thank you very much indeed.
