We were a group of 6 adults, parents, sons and partners and one grandson. House is very well equipped and spacious and feels like home. Lots of downstairs space and comfortable bedrooms plus 3 well appointed bathrooms. Great country garden with hot tub and very good undercover outside dining. Manaton is quiet and rural which was what we were after. Once you have the hang of the roads it is easy to get around, but you will need to be ready to use passing spaces. There are good local pubs for lunch and evening meals. All in all we had a really good family time together and would thoroughly recommend.

Just back from a week in this beautiful property. James met us on arrival & told us all the basics we needed to know. The children were straight in the hot tub, which was ready & waiting to be used! The kitchen is fully equipped & easily big enough to cook for 8 people. We were touched & grateful for the homemade cake, eggs & bacon/sausages which were left for us. These were eaten very quickly & were delicious! The weather wasn’t on our side (good old British summertime) however we still managed to get out & about most days. The property is remote & a car is essential if you want to do more than walking on the moors. Lanes can be narrow in places however it’s easy to use the A roads to get around (even if takes about longer). We travelled to Plymouth, Holywell Bay (Surf Club) Torquay, Paignton (quay west water park) & Bideford (Ultimate Adventure park) as-well as Dartmoor Prison Museum. The house itself is very well kept & it was easy to communicate with Janes & Sally for any minor issues we encountered. There is zero phone reception so having WiFi was a must, especially with teenagers!! Having Sky TV was an added bonus. I’d recommend this property & would like to thanks James & Sally for hosting us.

Quite remote - lovely peaceful holiday. Very good property. Thank you Sally for the eggs and cake, very welcome.

Lovely property, owners Sally and James could not have made us feel more welcome. Great walks / runs and access to Dartmoor from straight out of the property or by car if you want to go further a field. The house itself is clean and comfortable with plenty of room for all nine of us to congregate either in the kitchen or in the outside covered dinning area. Spacious enough to accommodate us and the dogs - all in all a lovely week and I hope we can return soon!

We had a lovely stay and James & Sal were great hosts … we’d recommend to friends and family and would stay again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely property. The owners had thoughtfully provided a fabulous cake, home made bread and breakfast goods. There were flowers throughout the house and everything was well appointed.

Town Barton is located on Manton’s village green and is within an easy drive from Bovey Tracey, Parke and Becky Falls. The house is comfortable with a large kitchen, lounge and 4 bedrooms (2 en-suite and a family bathroom). The welcome pack of bacon and sausages were a treat and the home made scones, clotted cream and jam yummy! Sal takes a huge amount of pride in her garden and it is beautiful - however if you own dogs who look for shade when it’s hot, then this may not be ideal as the plants are pretty rather than hardy (huge apologies for one mishap during our stay). Finally, the hot tub is an excellent addition!

We loved our week staying at Town Barton! Great location in the moor, with gorgeous walks and views. We spent most our time in the garden under the veranda having bbqs. The house is stunning and is fully equipped with everything you need. The hosts were ever so welcoming and accommodating! Amazing holiday, definitely recommended!

House was well equipped, very homely and comfortable with lovely gardens. James, Sally and family were very welcoming and helpful, always available while also respectful of our privacy. Children had a great time around the horses, and with the table tennis and hot tub. Lots of lovely walks around Manaton and surrounding areas, and good selection of shops for food and supplies in Bovey Tracey and Moretonhampstead. We very much hope to visit again sometime.

The property was clean and welcoming. The garden is very pretty and we appreciated the fresh garden flowers in every room, as well as the homemade cake and eggs and bacon. Thank you for a lovely stay. The girls loved the table tennis.

Fabulous property with lots of space for our group of all ages. Lovely relaxing setting James and Sally were very welcoming and helpful. All our group loved feeding the sheep, horses and collecting the eggs. Fab welcome pack to get you started. Car needed to get about but some lovely areas not far away.

We had a lovely time in this house. We loved the spacious country house feel of it and the main kitchen/breakfast room was gorgeous. We spent loads of time in the beautiful garden appreciating the view of the sheep, horses and countryside beyond. The kids loved the hottub (and the smart TV!) and actually fed the sheep and met the horses. James, Sally and family were pleasant hosts and were always around with advice on where to go however they gave us our privacy. It's a very isolated spot but this worked in its favour for us and it was nice that people were never very far away if we needed them. The lovely welcome goodies (meat and eggs from the farm and a yummy home made lemon iced cake) were most welcome and we bought various bits from local houses with honesty boxes and lovely farm shops. We were always out and about with the dog and the kids to the moor, wild swimming on various walks and to very local Becky Falls. We really managed to relax and unwind during our stay here and would definitely come again. We liked the hosts relaxed approach however to give constructive feedback a little bit more instruction on what to do on entrance and exit as well as any useful info on the house and local areas would probably go down well. Thanks for a lovely stay!
