The Barton is a small family run farm which is located on the edge of the small hamlet of Poughill, in the heart of Mid-Devon countryside which is 'tourist free'.
The land is grazed by a small herd of Aberdeen Angus cattle and a few friendly sheep along with one or two pigs and chickens. Home reared meat is normally available on the farm along with other local suppliers produce.
The Barton is home to two truly unique spacious holiday cottages, The Barton Granary (sleeping up to eight guests) and Brimbles (sleeping up to ten), both which have been converted from Grade II Listed barns to provide comfortably furnished and well-equipped accommodation.
Guests have the added benefit of the use of a small indoor heated swimming pool which is available all year round.
Poughill makes an ideal base for exploring Devon and its many places of interest and attractions. It is halfway between Exmoor and Dartmoor and halfway between both the North and South coasts! Golf, riding and fishing are all within easy reach and several National Trust properties and other attractions are closeby.
Many guests return time and again to enjoy the peace and tranquility, the space and dark night skies and the opportunity to relax amongst beautiful countryside.
