General Details
The Barton Bed and Breakfast is a traditional Devon 'Cross passage house' situated near Okehampton, in the centre of the delightful Domesday village of Belstone.
Dating back to around 1670, the B&B has a relaxed, family atmosphere and a significant ley line passes through the garden.
From the moment that you settle into the B&B with a complimentary Devon Cream Tea, you can start to enjoy a slice of Devon life.
The house has been sypathetically renovated by owners Chris and Lucinda Walsh and they are able to offer information about the surrounding area.
Located on the northern tip of Dartmoor National Park, the B&B is ideally located for a walking holiday - or for pony trekking, horse riding, cycling and fishing.
Chris is keen on fly fishing and golfing and has played most of the golf courses within a 50 mile radius - he can provide first hand information on nearby lakes and courses.
The Barton Bed and Breakfast is a member of the Dartmoor Tourist Association, for B&B's offering excellent accommodation.
