Clifford Lodge Barn delivers a warm and characterful welcome right in the heart of Moretonhampstead, Devon, offering an appealing rural base on the edge of Dartmoor National Park. This beautifully converted barn leans proudly into its heritage, exposed beams overhead, sunlight pouring in through Velux windows, and a striking spiral staircase that immediately catches the eye. On cooler evenings, the woodburning stove casts a gentle glow across the living space, creating the perfect spot to gather after roaming the moors. As you wander through the barn, the kitchen invites you to get stuck into cooking without feeling tucked away from the fun. There’s plenty of room to spread out, prepare meals, and settle around the dining table to share stories, food, and plans for tomorrow’s adventures. The sitting area offers a calm setting to unwind, Smart TV at the ready, board games stacked nearby, and the woodburner quietly crackling away in the background. Head upstairs when the day is done and choose between three welcoming bedrooms, each arranged with flexible zip/link beds to suit couples, families, or mixed groups. With three bathrooms close at hand, everyone can enjoy an easy, unhurried start each morning. The shared courtyard offers a pleasant spot for a morning brew, and a small stretch of woodland just moments away is perfect for gentle strolls or letting the dog stretch its legs. Dartmoor’s sweeping, iconic scenery unfurls at the top of the lane, vast open spaces, dramatic tors, and atmospheric valleys that make every walk feel like a mini-adventure. Moretonhampstead keeps life simple with local shops and places to eat, while nearby Chagford adds independent boutiques, inviting cafés, and buckets of Dartmoor character. Exeter makes for a terrific day out, home to its extraordinary Gothic cathedral, a bustling historic quayside lined with waterside restaurants, and the Royal Albert Memorial Museum where you can dive into everything from archaeology to fine art. Newton Abbot offers plenty for families too, Decoy Country Park’s peaceful lake and woodland trails, lively race days at Newton Abbot Racecourse, and a vibrant town centre to explore at a gentle pace. For those who love the outdoors, Dartmoor National Park is a treasure trove. Picture climbing Haytor Rocks for panoramic views, wandering through the enchanting tangle of Wistman’s Wood, spotting wild ponies grazing on open ground, and discovering walking routes suitable for every level of adventure. Clifford Lodge Barn blends rustic charm, natural light, and unbeatable access to Dartmoor’s wild beauty, an inviting base for days spent exploring, discovering, and enjoying everything this remarkable corner of Devon has to offer.
