The Barton Bed and Breakfast

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.

The Barton Bed and Breakfast was beautifully restored in 2005 to a very high standard.

Accommodation is offered in two double rooms and one twin room.

Each of the three bedrooms has:

• Private en-suite facilities
• Colour television
• Hairdryer
• Tea and coffee making facilities

Guests are welcomed with a famous Devon cream tea on arrival at the house.

This consists of home-baked scones, jam, glorious clotted cream and a pot of steaming tea, which can be enjoyed in the garden or in the cosy dining room.

Breakfast is served each moring at the B&B - there is a selection of cereals, yogurt, toast with homemade preserves, fresh fruit and a full English breakfast.

A packed lunch can be provided for guests by prior arrangement.

The Barton Bed and Breakfast is close to a popular local village pub which serves a good selection of traditional pub food.

Alternatively, the B&B is within easy driving distance of a number of excellent pubs and restaurants, including the award winning 'Dartmoor Inn' at Lydford. Tables can be booked for guests and directions can be provided.

Belstone is easily accessed from the A30 road, and the market town of Okehampton is 3 miles away.

Tavistock is 18 miles away to the south west of Belstone.

Directions to The Barton B&B are available on request.
