About this property
Just outside the small village of Dousland, on the south-western slopes of Dartmoor, is Burham Barn. Approached via 1/3rd of a mile of private drive, this single-storey cottage converted from a former barn is peacefully located in the grounds of the owner's home. Designed for comfort and convenience, the living space is open-plan with a lofty beamed ceiling and glazed doors to a pretty garden room. You'll sleep the night away in the comfortable and inviting double bedroom with a king-size bed, and en suite bathroom with bathtub. There is a second bathroom with shower. You have your own little patio with table and chairs, and you are welcome to wander the owner's' mature gardens and meadows. Footpaths/lanes lead to two pubs within ½ mile, on the edge of the Dartmoor National Park. Nearby Burrator Reservoir offers a unique day out for families, nature enthusiasts and Dartmoor lovers alike, with ample walks, wildlife and history. Impressive Buckland Abbey is just a short drive away, as are the market town of Tavistock and Plymouth - Devon's Ocean City.
The pretty village of Yelverton makes a perfect base for exploring Dartmoor with excellent walking and cycling routes in the area. The 21 mile-long cycling and walking route Drake's Trail, runs through the village and links nearby Tavistock and Plymouth passing through wooded valleys and open moorland.

Johnathon and Pamela made us very welcome, in their very well presented barn conversion, every little detail had been thought of. even a welcoming fruit cake awaited us. Unfortunately due to a family illness we had to leave two days early, but will certainly return again, Johnathan and Pamela even contacted us after we left, to wish our son well.
