“Exactly as it says on the tin and more.”

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.

“This is a delightful gem of a holiday cottage.”

A wonderfully peaceful location and a well equipped cottage with ample storage for food and clothes. Ideally situated for walking on Dartmoor.

“First-rate Barn conversion in idyllic location The property is spacious,immaculately presented,very well equipped and furnished and exhibits exceptional attention to detail throughout.”

The WiFi and mobile signals are good and the Barn has two TVs as well as a DVD player and separate radio with CD player.As well as a spacious ensuite to the bedroom (comfortable King-size bed and plenty of storage space) there is a useful shower room off the entrance porch.The location is superb,with endless options for moorland walks both near at hand and further afield,and wonderfully quiet.The friendly hosts respect one's privacy but are on hand to help out and answer questions if needed.I thoroughly enjoyed my week's stay and would not hesitate to recommend this property to those seeking something a bit special.

Pamela June 2024

“The Barn is a lovely property, very clean, comfortable and well equipped with high quality furnishings.”

The owners are friendly and helpful. Situated in a peaceful and very attractive location within a 5 minute drive of Dartmoor and 10 minute walk (albeit 5 minutes on busy road with no footpath) from decent local pub. We enjoyed very much our week at The Barn and would not hesitate to recommend it.

- Pamela, June 2024
David May 2024

“We enjoyed our stay very much at Burham Barn.”

It's a lovely cottage with excellent facilities, and is set in beautiful surroundings. The owners were extremely welcoming and hospitable; keen to ensure that we enjoyed our holiday.

Debbie September 2023

“Lovely cottage in a great location owners were welcoming and helpful.”

Would love to come back again.

- Debbie, September 2023
Allan September 2023

“Wonderful cottage which met all expectations.”

However, the process surrounding the booking leaves a lot to be desired. Firstly I booked via the previously used and welcoming Helpful Holidays and to my surprise Sykes then took over. We are mature adults who do not wish to be lectured on the DO & DON'T's on how to leave the property. Also the strict arrival time of 17-00 hrs and departure time of 09-00 is unsatisfactory and inconvenient. None of this reflects upon the friendly hosts.

- Allan, September 2023
Michael September 2023

“Excellent location for Dartmoor exploration.”

Comfortable, clean and delightfully peaceful. Owners kind & helpful but never intrusive. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday there and happily recommend it.

Julian June 2023

“This property is the best we have ever stayed at in the UK and is worthy of a 10 star rating.”

The 'cottage' was in immaculate condition and extremely well maintained and fitted out with absolutely everything you could possibly think of to make our two week stay so enjoyable. The owners are just the nicest people you could wish to meet and we were made to feel so welcome including an amazing home made cake.

- Julian, June 2023
Chris June 2023

“We enjoyed our week at the Barn with it's very well equipped interior and comfort.”

That allied with the tranquil countryside and easy access to the moor was perfect. Thanks and for the cake.

- Chris, June 2023
Cliff May 2023

“This property is exceptionally well furnished and equipped.”

The location is delightful, as the property is in the owner's beautiful garden, half a mile from a road, so very quiet. The owners are helpful and pleasant but not intrusively so.

- Cliff, May 2023

“Burham Barn was a cozy and comfortable cottage, a real 'home from home'.”

The hosts made us feel very welcome. It was a relaxing break away and a perfect location to explore the Dartmoor area of Devon.

- Karen, March 2023

“Best place we have stayed for quality of the accommodation.”

Good location as 5 mins from coop in car and easy to Tavistock but secluded near moors and woods.

- Stephen, July 2022

Michael March 2022

“From arrival to departure everything was first class (weather not included).”

We were hoping to spend a few days just chilling and recharging our batteries and this was easily achieved. A delicious home made cake was waiting for us and Jonathon and Pamela were very approachable and friendly without being intrusive. All in all a lovely few days and we hope to return.

- Michael, March 2022

The cottage was bigger than I expected, with quality fittings and equipment. The hosts (and their dogs) were most welcoming. Not only could I not fault it, but it exceeded my expectations.

- Rebecca, July 2021

Our second time here.

- David, June 2021
Michael May 2021

“Need for car essential.”

The place absolutely peaceful, the little terrace great for evening sun and glass of orange juice (?). Yelverton is a really nice community with an excellent cricket ground and Heavy has a splendid olde world pub.

Vivienne September 2020

“Burham Barn had everything we needed, it was very comfortable and relaxing set in lovely gardens, fields and woods.”

The owners, Pamela and Jonathon were very friendly and helpful and we could not have wished for a better setting for a lovely holiday. The weather was a bonus too. Would - and have - recommended already.

- Vivienne, September 2020
Graham September 2020

“A really lovely cottage, beautifully appointed.”

The owners were kind and helpful.

- Graham, September 2020
Doreen July 2019

“Lovely interior with good facilities; everything you could need.”

Large ensuite and separate shower room. Well equipped barn conversion and friendly and helpful owners who live on site. Great outdoor space, especially if you bring your dog. A 20 acre field as part of the property for your sole use which is great for exercising your dog. Very quiet and secluded barn accessed by quite narrow, long drive, but fine if you drive slowly. Would recommend and return again if visiting the area. Lots of places to visit and countless walks both on and around Dartmoor.

- Doreen, July 2019
Brenda June 2019

“Absolutely excellent holiday home, every amenity catered for, owners so pleasant and helpful.”

ideal location although a bit remote if 'walking' is not a requisite! lots of wild life and beautiful, calm 'switch off' environment. would recommend totally!

- Brenda, June 2019
Margaret June 2019

“Very friendly and helpful owners.”

Excellent base for Dartmoor walking.

- Margaret, June 2019
Peter May 2019

“Burham Barn is an exemplary holiday let, extremely comfortable & well equipped.”

The owners, who live on-site are lovely. The location near Tavistock and just minutes from Dartmoor is perfect. What else needs to be said!

- Peter, May 2019
Elizabeth May 2019

“The location and standard of accommodation were excellent and I couldn't fault it.”

We were made to feel very welcome.

- Elizabeth, May 2019
Jennifer April 2019

“This is a great place to stay, really quiet although not far from main road.”

Attached to owners property but the barn is private with no sense of being intruded upon. Great bed, really comfortable and huge kitchen for a 2 person stay. The location of the barn will suit all as it virtually on Dartmoor yet close enough to towns and NT properties etc should the weather be poor. We really enjoyed a relaxing week here and walked on the moor almost every day. Would highly recommend.

- Jennifer, April 2019
Lynne March 2019

“Absolutely splendid accommodation in a delightful part of Devon.”

Our hosts were welcoming yet left us to enjoy our own privacy. The property is furnished to a high standard with everything you would possibly need to enjoy your stay. Our Collie, Meg, was welcomed too. On arrival milk was in the fridge, tea & coffee available plus a delicious homemade fruit cake. We found this a lovely location on Dartmoor but within easy travelling to both beaches and places of interest.

- Lynne, March 2019

- Chris, June 2018
Alan June 2018

“Smooth process booking our accommodation and very good communication with Helpful Holidays.”

Burham Barn was an excellent base for exploring Dartmoor and was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. Friendly owner who was there if we needed anything (we didn't!). Highly recommended!

- Alan, June 2018
