Bagtor Granary Reviews

We had a lovely relaxing stay at Bagtor Granary. The cottage was really cosy, the beds were super comfy and the hot tub was lush. There is a fantastic walk right from your doorstep though the woods up to the Moors, we were lucky it snowed when we stayed as it looked like a winter wonderland. We had a lovely stay and we would definitely come back. The welcome basket was a lovely touch too! Thankyou.
We absolutely loved our stay on the farm! It was perfect for our needs. We would love to visit again.
Excellent place to stay. Highly recommended.
Russell
The kids blankets were very soft and there was nothing Russell and Carol hadnt thought of! !
Claire
A warm welcome, a really beautiful house in a peaceful setting, amazing attention to detail, extremely well equipped, very comfortable, best hot tub ever. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bagtor Granary.
What a beautiful warm and cosy place to stay It was so peaceful and quiet. The cottage had everything you could ask for. A lovely hot tub to chill out in with clear skies with LOTS of stars. It was just a perfect end to hectic days out. The beds are so comfy. Cottage is only 10minutes away from main roads. You will travel for approx 10minutes through lanes to get there. Its close to main roads but far enough away to feel remote and relaxed from the hustle and bustle. All you will hear is sheep cows birds and the occasional farm vehicle Its just a perfect retreat to get away from it all. And a lovely welcome hamper when you arrive with free range eggs, scones, Jam, cream, milk and wine and a wonderful warm welcome from the hosts. We would highly recommend. Thank you for a beautiful stay!
Susanna
We had a superb stay at Bagtor Granary the property was exactly per the listing, even better IRL in fact. Russell & Carol were friendly and helpful, and the welcome hamper was a nice treat after a long car journey. The hot tub was a lot of fun, and the farm grounds were clean and tidy, and our girls loved seeingpetting the farm animals. The only smallminor comment we have is that the internal walls are quite thin which shouldn't be an issue for most people but resulted in the occasional disturbance of our 4 year old by our 1 year old during the night.
Great hosts. Very well equipped everything we could have needed. Beds were very comfortable. The welcome pack was great. Loads of brilliant info in the pack would recommend staying here to everyone
Yohaan
Beautiful cottage run by a lovely couple. We were looked after well
We stayed at Bagtor Granary over Easter 2024. The owners were very welcoming upon arrival and helped resolve any queries we had immediately. The cottage was lovely and warm, clean and tidy with everything we needed. We all enjoyed the hot tub and experience staying on a working farm! In addition, we ordered some meat from the owners too which was very tasty! Excellent location for getting up onto Dartmoor. We would definitely choose to return here in the future.
Adrian

Very well thought renovation of the barn with attention to detail. Thanks for providing everything we needed to stay, including colouring books for our little one. Perfect location for a quiet retreat to rest and recharge. The Jacuzzi was lovely!
Adrian
We all had a wonderful stay at Bagtor Granary. Stayed in Novemeber and the house was lovely and warm and cosy. The facilities were really good and the location was great. Our young boys enjoyed seeing all the farm animals and we enjoyed the hot tub. We would highly recommend staying here.

Really enjoyed our stay at Bagtor Granary. Well appointed, very comfortable and extremely relaxing. All the extra little touches made things just right. Bath amazing and hot tub very relaxing when weather permitted Hamper much appreciated and will try and remember which way round the cream and jam should go
We loved our last minute stay at Bagtor Granary. The house is beautiful and the beds were comfy. Our oldest child is still talking about how soft the sheets were 5 days later. The hot tub was a real winner as well. The owners were helpful and friendly and the welcome hamper we arrived to was a nice touch! The scones were amazing. Thank you for having us!
Catriona
We had a fantastic break at Bagtor Granary, a big thank you to our delightful hosts. The granary is a beautiful barn conversion in a lovely setting within a shortish hike of Hay Tor.
