Description from owner
Description
The Oak Barn at Lower Venton is a luxury two-bedroom cottage, perfect for two to four people to enjoy a luxury break in the heart of Dartmoor. This detached barn conversion is designed as an “upside down house” to make the most of the stunning views of Dartmoor and to create a light, airy and spacious living environment. It has been lovingly handcrafted using local oak finished to the highest standard, and stylishly furnished throughout for your comfort.
Beneath a vaulted, oak-trussed roof space sits the lounge. Large sofas and scatter cushions create a comfortable environment for lounging in front of the cosy log burner, watching a film on the large screen TV or listening to music. As the evenings draw in, create your own ambience with the variety of lamps, low-level in-floor lighting or high-level up-lights. The kitchen is handmade from solid oak and granite and fully equipped with a 5 burner, two oven range, a fridge, separate freezer, dishwasher, washing machine/dryer and other essentials - perfect for the aspiring chef! We even offer a fully stocked, 40-bottle wine rack with an honesty box arrangement for payment.
The master bedroom features a contemporary styled king-size four-poster bed, the second bedroom has two single beds that may be linked to form a super-king size bed. Both rooms feature contemporary en-suite bathrooms with large walk-in showers and baths. Cots and high chairs can be provided on request.
For the colder wetter Dartmoor days, the cedar-lined sauna in the master bedroom offers relief for tired muscles after an active day on Dartmoor. Under-floor heating throughout the cottage provides constant comfort during the chillier months.
A large, south-facing, sun terrace with BBQ and dining area offers breathtakingly beautiful views over the surrounding pastureland and the open moor.
Visit us in autumn or winter and curl up for cosy evenings in front of the log burner - or enjoy year-round walks and sightseeing in the fabulous Dartmoor countryside. Any time of the year, Lower Venton is the place to enjoy Dartmoor!

“Relaxing”
We booked the Oak Barn to enjoy a relaxing week walking in Dartmoor. As a base the location was perfect with walking routes available right outside the door. The Barn it’s self was warm, cosy and comfortable. The owners, living in the next house were very pleasant. All in all we had a great time.

“Superb”
A great week should have done two. Very very nice place and very comfy, lost the wife a couple of times in the settee. Great location, we did loads of walks mainly from the Barn and a trip to Dartmouth for lunch at the The Angel (Excellent). There are loads of CD’s, a good wine cellar and local eggs from the owners next door. You only need to bring food and a dressing gown. Now looking for availability next year.
