Patio with garden furniture. 1 small dog welcome. Stabling and grazing for horses available (at cost). Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking. Please note: The property has a natural water supply from a spring.. Situated in the heart of Dartmoor National Park on the owner’s beef farm, this semi-detached cottage has been decorated and furnished to a good standard in 2019 and still retains some of its original features. There is a private walkway up to Bagtor which has the most stunning view across rolling Devon Hills over Dartmoor, and you can see for miles. Stabling is available for horses at an extra cost, and straw and hay are available. This is a perfect opportunity to be able to ride on Dartmoor on private land, on a no-vehicle track, where you might encounter some of the Dartmoor ponies that wander freely all over the moor. Off road cycling is perfect here, and the walks, which start right from the front door are just amazing.

The farm has a lot of character, and you can often see the cows out in the fields; on some occasions there will be calves frolicking about too! This is a quiet part of Devon, and you will be able to discover Dartmoor and all it has to offer. There are many visitor attractions not far from the property. Exeter, with its Crealy Theme Park & Resort, is ideal for a family day out and is only 30 minutes away by car. Visit Plymouth and take a trip to the Aquarium, only 40 minutes away by car. There are also many National Trust properties close by. Beach 15 miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 2 miles.

Lovely cosy cottage

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It’s spacious, comfortable and was very warm and cosy even in cold winter weather. The location is peaceful - no disturbance from the farm - and the owners Carol and Russell are helpful and friendly. It’s a brilliant base for exploring this part of Devon, right on the edge of Dartmoor and also not far from the coast. We did some great (hilly) bike rides and enjoyed walking along the lanes to the Carpenters Arms in Ilsington (great food and beer). Hope to be back next year!

Bagtor Hayloft is a lovely cottage.

Bagtor Hayloft is a lovely cottage. It is finished to a high standard and is spotlessly clean. Carol and Russell are very welcoming. The cream tea and bottle of wine awaiting us on arrival was a nice touch. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, with walks from the cottage onto the moors.

Lovely welcome pack of cream teas and wine from very friendly hosts, Carol and Russell. Good base to visit Dartmoor but also the English Riviera, Totnes, Plymouth and Dartmouth. Recommended.

Bagtor Hayloft is a charming barn conversion, clean, comfortable, homely, full of character and in a beautiful historic farm setting. A perfect base for exploring Dartmoor and the surrounding areas. Carol and Russell the owners of Bagtor Haycroft, were welcoming, thoughtful and helpful hosts.

Carol and Russell gave my family and I a warm welcome on our first day. They made sure we were comfortable and recommended plenty of local destinations and activities. When we had issues with the wifi they gave us their router so that the cottage maintained service without having to wait for the engineer. The cottage is beautiful and has been done to a high spec, it's been a pleasure to be one of their first guests. The location is peaceful and plenty of good walks nearby with a variety of attractions for all ages a short drive away. We definitely recommend staying at the cottage and would happily stay here again.
