“Nice peaceful location spotlessly clean access a little challenging.”

Owners very pleasant and helpful there if you needed them but otherwise left you to enjoy your privacy.

“Hilly Field Barn is a wonderful little gem.”

Hazel and Mark are kind and generous hosts. The narrow, winding lanes are charming, if challenging, and the end result is definitely worth it.

- Tricia, October 2024
Chris September 2024

“Perfect location for piece and quiet, a short journey to amenities.”

Lots of lovely walks near by and places to visit. The Plymouth Aquarium is well worth a visit, about 30 minutes drive away. Cottage well laid out with a nice cream tea waiting on arrival.

“Thank you for a lovely holiday.”

The property was excellent, very clean, everything we needed. Owners were there if we needed them. Lovely cream tea on arrival. Could not ask for more. We are looking to return at some point.

David July 2024

“Dear Hazel and Mark, we really enjoyed staying at Hilly Field Barn, and did not want to go home!”

It's a lovely cottage in a beautiful setting and we had everything that we needed. We had ready access by foot or by short car ride to everything that Dartmoor has to offer. Thank you for your kindness during our stay.

- David, July 2024
Fiona June 2024

“Wow what's not to like about Hilly Field barn.”

Immaculately clean, lovely cosy cottage with everything you need. Cometely enclosed garden for dogs. Lovely walks for dog owners. Dartmoor national park 7 mins drive from the cottage. Cream tea on arrival was a very thoughtful and nice touch. Very much appreciated after a long drive. Hazel is lovely. There when you need her. All in all we had a lovely week and I highly recommend Hilly Field Barn for those who want to get away and have peace and quiet for a few days.

- Fiona, June 2024
Diane May 2024

“This property is one of the best we have ever stayed in.”

Set in beautiful countryside. Ideal location central for accessing Dartmoor and coast. Immaculately clean and provided everything you might need for your stay. We were welcomed with a lovely cream tea, fresh milk, tea and coffee. We only stayed for a short break, but will return for a longer stay.

- Diane, May 2024
Christine May 2024

Diane April 2024

“Myself and Bruno, the cocker spaniel, really enjoyed our week in Hilly Field Barn.”

An excellent base for exploring the local area, and close to Tavistock and Plymouth. Very peaceful location and setting, with lots of birds and wildlife on the doorstep. Loved meeting the owner's dogs, Bruno would have spent all his time with them if he'd had the chance. Would definitely visit again. Thank you so much.

- Diane, April 2024
Tricia April 2024

“This is such a comfortable place to stay, and remarkably well equipped.”

Hazel and Mark are kind, attentive and generous hosts without ever intruding. The enclosed garden is perfect for any dog, especially an old lady like my Tia, who loved pottering around the bushes and rolling on the grass. We're going back!

- Tricia, April 2024
Barbara April 2024

“We highly recommend this property.”

It is kept very comfortable and is spotlessly clean. For my husband, who has mobility issues, it is so nice to be able to park by the door. The outlook is lovely and the property is in a very peaceful location.

- Barbara, April 2024

- Helen, March 2024
Andrew February 2024

“We had a very pleasant stay pity the weather was against us but hey not the owners fault we were staying in February.”

We managed to get out every day the property was first class very clean and tidy and good quality furniture and fixings well above what you would expect in a holiday let.we would have no qualms about recommending this property and owners and would definitely book again.

- Andrew, February 2024
Belinda October 2023

“The house was perfect for the two of us and two dogs.”

It is immaculately presented, has everything you need and is cosy and inviting. The local pub Drake Manor Inn does brilliant food, we visited a couple of times and is dog friendly too. The location of the house is down a country lane so is very quiet and peaceful. It is only a short drive away from Dartmoor and several villages to visit.

- Belinda, October 2023
Tricia October 2023

“Hilly Field Barn is a perfect little gem set in the glorious Dartmoor National Park.”

A converted barn, it has lovely thick walls that provide excellent insulation. The views are glorious and the garden a perfect retreat - my Golden Retriever loved it, and it was completely secure, so I could leave the door open for her all day. Hazel, our hostess, was so kind and went over and above to make our stay so comfortable and stress-free. Apart from all the extra help (I have mobility issues), I was greeted with a delicious clotted cream and jam tea, including tea, coffee and milk - and a vase of fresh flowers. The Barn is very well equipped with everything needed for a properly self-catering holiday. It even has a slow cooker. Although there are lovely places to eat out, as long as relatively local take-aways, I was able to cook everything without leaving the property. (Who would want to leave?) Hazel and her family are perfect hosts - her daughter even helped rescue my dog when she got stuck between the car and a trough of plants. They never interfere, but are always on call if you need them. I cannot recommend Hilly Field Barn too highly. We're coming back - two stays booked and more to come. Thank you, Hazel and family!

- Tricia, October 2023
Ian September 2023

“This is an outstanding holiday cottage, set in a really nice quiet location, but still very handy to local services and towns.”

Both the cottage and gardens are clearly maintained to very high standards, and we would have no hesitation in booking this cottage again if we were to visit this area.

- Ian, September 2023
Lynda August 2023

“Gorgeous comfortable stay in this lovely barn cottage.”

Highly recommend.

- Lynda, August 2023
Oliver July 2023

“Very clean and well equiped.”

A cosy place. We would like to come back!

- Oliver, July 2023
Barry July 2023

“The owners were friendly & helpful.”

The barn was peaceful & secluded & provided all that we needed for our stay. Clean comfortable & fully equipped. Rooms were spacious & bed comfortable. The only suggestion we would make relates to the shower. Although the shower water pressure was good it was a bit difficult to control the temperature through the mixer tap as it needed to be set each time you used it. Also the shower curtain impinged on the light fitting. As the property is only really suitable for a couple maybe the bath could removed a replaced with a shower cubicle. .

- Barry, July 2023
David April 2023

“Property was great , generally of a good to high standard.”

Just a couple of niggles that the owner may want to know about. The shower is difficult to control and could do with a thermostatic shower being fitted and the top oven grill didn’t heat up. Otherwise loved it and in a great area. I would book again and recommend it

- David, April 2023
Angela December 2022

“Lovely comfortable accommodation.”

Fab location, not too remote for local attractions on foot or by car (or local bus, if you are happy to walk a bit) but isolated enough to feel away from it all. Great surroundings and views with birdsong in the morning. Hosts on hand, helpful and accommodating but not intrusive. Completely charming. Beautiful place for my New Year stay.

- Angela, December 2022
Barbara October 2022

“A delightful cosy place to stay in a tucked away spot.”

Very clean and well equipped. We had a lovely time there and found plenty to do within 4 miles. There are some fantastic views within easy walking distance. We even saw an osprey when out one afternoon.

- Barbara, October 2022
Robert September 2022

“We had a fantastic stay in Hilly Field Barn.”

Everything was perfect. We would highly recommend this property, it is a little hidden jewel. Exceptionally clean and comfortable and perfectly stocked. We had a peaceful stay and only regretted not booking for longer. We will definitely be returning.

- Robert, September 2022
Veronica Diane September 2022

“We were welcomed by Hazel and Mark, both they and Shirley were very friendly without being intrusive.”

The cottage was beautifully clean and spacious, the large kitchenette was well equipped. The bedroom was light and air with a comfortable bed and plenty of storage. The bathroom was clean and smelt very fresh. The fresh flowers and cream tea were very welcoming. We will be back

- Veronica Diane, September 2022
Wendy September 2022

“We stayed for a week and the property was as described.”

It was difficult to find if you don't know the area and if you don't approach from capstone you could easily miss it. The property was clean and provided most things needed for your stay. A couple of things I would change. The mattress and a bigger bed would have been nice although we knew it was a double, the mattress was quite hard and you rolled together slightly. I think the bathroom could really do with a refit and it smelt quite musty too. As a base for a holiday it was fine

- Wendy, September 2022
Stephen August 2022

“Basically everything that we required for this self catering cottage was provided in the way of utensils catering equipment cooker, washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, fridge freezer, large modern TV, nothing was left out.”

This made our holiday more enjoyable.Very pieceful location for a relaxing holiday. The owners and family were very friendly along with the evening bats.

- Stephen, August 2022
Margaret August 2022

“Absolutely loved our stay at Hilly Field Barn, and can’t wait to go back!”

The owners were brilliant, everything was lovely and clean, and the cream tea went down a treat thank you

- Margaret, August 2022
Paul July 2022

“We loved it here, it was very clean,quiet and peaceful stay.”

Lots of wildlife about some cracking walks close by for us and the dog. just down the lane to the mill and river or up the lane to the orchard and out to the moors.. The cottage is based within the family farm the owners are very friendly and are a very helpful lovely family but are happy to give you your own space too. What a stunning part of the world with some beautiful places to visit nearby.. Thanks for making it possible for us to have a wonderful holiday.

- Paul, July 2022
Jolanda June 2022

“A very warm, complete and comfortable cottage.”

And very clean!! Excellent location. With a lovely cream tea to welcome you. If in the future any holiday wil take us to Devon I know where we'll be staying!! Hilly Field Barn!

- Jolanda, June 2022
John May 2022

“Our reaction as we opened the door on arrival…Wow.”

It was immaculate…the fixtures and fittings are of high quality and the cleanliness….the attention to detail and very well presented and maintained. Oh I nearly forgot….a welcome ..cream tea awaits us…a life saver after an 8 hour journey. We soon settled in and we’re relaxed in excellent surroundings. I see some comments regarding difficulty in following the directions. We approached from Plymouth via A386 to Tavistock (we live in Norfolk). We entered the post code of the property and it took us straight to the door…so this may help others. Mobile phone reception is non existent at the Barn but a short way along the road it soon improves..a minor distraction I feel. All I all an excellent stay …Hazel and Mark are most welcoming…but not intrusive.

- John, May 2022
David May 2022

“Good reception and had everything you needed.”

The only thing they cannot deliver is a good mobile phone reception but a short walk up the lane corrects this.

- David, May 2022
Alan April 2022

“Hilly Field Barn Cottage is excellent in every respect.”

It is well situated for direct access to Dartmoor with its superb walking and sightseeing opportunities. The cottage is extremely comfortable, clean and well appointed. The cream tea on arrival was much appreciated.

- Alan, April 2022
Bettina March 2022

Gavin December 2021

“Cottage is lovely.”

Comfortable and well-equipped. We had a week in December so spent a good amount of time inside reading as well as going on short trips - we had everything we needed. Owners are friendly and helpful as well. We'd definitely recommend.

- Gavin, December 2021
Susanna October 2021

“We had a lovely stay at Hilly Field Barn.”

Mark and Hazel were very friendly and helpful, always available if needed, but were not intrusive in any way at all. A cosy and very well equipped converted barn with a clotted cream tea, flowers and milk on arrival. It is very rural, which we loved, but be prepared for very narrow lanes ! The surrounding rural views and sound of the river running by were very restful. Would recommend clearer directions for the last mile. There is so much to do in the area and Tavistock is a really nice town to browse. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back. Thank you !

- Susanna, October 2021

Hilly Field Barn is in a beautifully quiet location with easy access to Dartmoor & Plymouth, perfect for a relaxing break

- Ian, August 2021
Damien August 2021

“This is a beautiful little cottage perched on the side of the valley over the river Tavy.”

Stunning walks from the door and everything that you could possibly want in a cottage when you return. Really helpful, friendly owners who are on hand if you need them but not obtrusive in any way. We would definitely return.

- Damien, August 2021
Hugh July 2021

“The cottage was a very relaxing and quiet little hideaway.”

The garden was safe for 2 dogs, and we were very well received by the hosts.

- Hugh, July 2021
Helen July 2021

“A wonderful stay in this delightful cottage , everything catered for .”

A complete break from everything , picturesque walks on the doorstep , a local pub within walking distance best of all the peace & quiet , thank you Hazel & Mark

- Helen, July 2021
Stephen June 2021

“We stayed in this fabulous barn conversion in June 2021 and couldn’t have been more impressed!”

A very welcome cream tea awaited our arrival and we were so pleased with how clean and well appointed the property was. The owners Hazel and Mark were very welcoming and helpful, yet gave us our own space to enjoy our holiday. Wonderful location to explore the Dartmoor area, shops within 10-minute drive and recommend a stroll to the village pub, The Drake Manor Inn for lunch. A walk to Double Waters from the front door (thank you Hazel’s mum!) is a must. Mobile phone signal not good (excellent!) WiFi is available. A beautiful spot to get away from it all. Oh and our cocker spaniel also had the time of his life! Highly recommended.

- Stephen, June 2021
Clare June 2021

“Very friendly helpful hosts.”

Lovely cottage with peace and quiet which was well equipped

- Clare, June 2021
Nathan May 2021

“Great little cottage in a nice part of Devon, close to Dartmoor and some worthwhile sights nearby like Buckland Abbey and The Garden House (booking may be needed with pandemic restrictions).”

We had everything we needed for our stay in the cottage. Hazel and Mark were also a great help, including organising the cot and high chair for our little one.

- Nathan, May 2021
Michael April 2021

“The local people, as well as the owners, are very friendly.”

The garden is well maintained and is not just grassed but contains flowering plants and shrubs, and a washing line located in a secluded area. Attractive hanging baskets either side of the front door, situated out of harm's way.

- Michael, April 2021
Peter April 2021

“Excellent stay but the TV could be more modern (Smart TV) and larger.”

- Peter, April 2021
Mike December 2020

“The cottage was immaculately kept, and situated in a beautiful secluded location.”

Perfect for a couple!

- Mike, December 2020
Peter October 2020

“Our hosts Mark and Hazel were lovely and despite the weather we had a lovely time.”

As always our "Bolt Hole" was very clean and comfortable and everything was catered for including the welcome pack. It was our 16th time at Hilly Field Barn and if we get any form of normality back we will be making it the 17th. PK

- Peter, October 2020
Judith September 2020

“This holiday let is beyond anything one could imagine and the setting takes it again to another level.”

However you need to find it first!Unfortunately the directions for the last part of the journey are inaccurate and take you to quite a different place, albeit in the same general area. As the lane on which the holiday let is unnamed and unmarked, and a satnav takes you to a different place again, it is impossible for any other than a local person to find it except by chance. Can I suggest that there are some revised directions both for those coming from the north (via Tavistock), and for those coming from the south (via Plymouth). We were coming from the south so the directions were no use at all. Hazel, the owner of the property was able to direct us when we phoned her but you can't depend on that with phone signals being erratic in the Devon countryside. Having said all that, I can wholeheartedly recommend this property

- Judith, September 2020
Robert August 2020

“Would thoroughly recommend this cottage for a very comfortable peaceful out of the way location, the owners were very accommodating and could not do enough to make our stay enjoyable.”

Local pub and restaurant only a mile walk into village. Very beautiful area.

- Robert, August 2020
Richard August 2020

“We wanted to be away from crowds at this time.”

This was perfect for that; out of the way on the edge of a village on the edge of Dartmoor, with places of interest on the south western part of the moor. Excellent location for us, with pub nearby.

- Richard, August 2020
