The property

Duke’s Barn is an impressive barn conversion set within a rural hamlet on the countryside fringes of Blackawton near Dartmouth.

Ideally placed close to the coast and Dartmoor National Park, this carefully furnished retreat combines quality styling with a tranquil setting, making it well suited to families and groups of friends looking to explore Devon. This striking stone-built property centres around a spacious open-plan living area, filled with natural light and enhanced by high ceilings, exposed beams, and elegant furnishings that give the space a refined feel.

The kitchen is well equipped with everything needed for preparing home-cooked meals, while the dining area provides an inviting place to gather, raise a glass, and enjoy time together.

As the evening unfolds, sink into the generous seating and warm your feet beside the woodburning stove while reflecting on the day’s adventures. The sleeping accommodation is equally impressive, beginning with a ground-floor super-king-size bedroom served by a stylish bathroom, offering the choice of a long soak in the free-standing bath or a refreshing shower.

Upstairs, two further bedrooms continue the calming, contemporary design, comprising a double with an en-suite bathroom and a king-size with an en-suite shower room, each providing ample storage and a restful atmosphere. Outside, the enclosed walled garden offers a lawned area where four-legged companions can roam, while guests enjoy alfresco dining and soak up the fresh air of this charming hamlet setting.

For amenities, shops, and eateries, the coastal town of Dartmouth lies nearby, set along the River Dart.

Dartmouth offers a variety of independent shops, pubs, and cafés, alongside attractions such as Bayard’s Cove Fort, Royal Avenue Gardens, and the local beach.

Paignton, with its zoo and beaches, and Torquay, another appealing coastal town, are also within reach.

Those seeking scenic walks can explore the South Devon National Landscape along the coast, while inland Dartmoor National Park offers a network of trails with expansive countryside views.

An unforgettable Devon escape awaits with a stay at the beautifully appointed Duke’s Barn.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.

About the location

DARTMOUTH

Totnes 12 miles.

Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart estuary in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the coast, Dartmouth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Devon. It offers a stunning waterfront, ancient narrow streets lined with boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries plus many local events such as the annual Dart Music Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, along with the Dartmouth Food Festival held every October. There are many interesting cycling and walking routes around Dartmouth, including the South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail and plenty of quiet country lanes. A trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway through picturesque countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat trip across to Kingswear and on to Brixham, a pretty little harbour town. For those seeking some beach activities, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blue Flag Award winner Blackpool Sands, and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular and just a stone's throw from Dartmouth. A relaxing location in South Devon.
