The Experience
A hideaway surrounded by moors, woodland and fields. Escape here to switch off your phones, read, write and have long walks in Dartmoor National Park. The setting is magical, secluded and peaceful; sit and admire the views and watch the sun go down from your little terraced garden.
Hugh and Liza are the kindest people. They leave a generous welcome pack of homemade organic bread, milk, eggs and butter – and you can order Liza’s homemade granola. They grow their own veg organically, which you can buy (in season) and the water comes from a spring. The old barn has been converted simply and comfortably into an open-plan space with a Rayburn for winter warmth, practical kitchen area, sofa and king-size bed. Hop downstairs to the bathroom – and a single bunk bed tucked in the corner.
Stock up and spend your whole time here without using the car. Walk up onto Dartmoor – from the top you can sometimes see all the way to the sea. If you do fancy a break from cooking, there are a handful of pubs within five or so miles. Return to marvel at the stars, sleep soundly and then wake to a burst of birdsong.

We had the most lovely stay at The Barn. It was probably the best kitted-out place I've stayed - such attention to detail. Hugh and Liza were incredibly helpful in the run up to our stay and so kind and warm when we were there. The barn has a lovely cosy feel with stunning views out of the window and from the sweet little garden attached to it. It's in a beautiful and peaceful spot; we went on the most wonderful walks in the area. I fully recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet getaway.

Easdon is a veritable E-den! It was great to escape the rat race, head up into the heart of the Dartmoor National Park and enjoy the peace of the moors. Liza and Hugh have created a simple but cosy place to stay with real character and a view across fields to the moors across the valley. They also did everything possible to help us make the most of our stay. This is a place to unwind, slow down and enjoy the wind in the trees, birds outside the window and walks on the moors. A most enjoyable week!

We had the nicest stay at Easdon Barn. You will find there true quiet, birdsong and the most spectacular moorland on your doorstep. Highly recommended!

Location
The neighbourhood
The Barn at Easdon is in a fairly remote spot on the east side of Dartmoor at an altitude of 1,100 feet. It has views across a valley of moorland and fields. There are no shops around the corner; the nearest are five miles away in the small towns of Chagford and Moretonhampstead: deli, butcher, organic cooperative shop as well as supermarkets. Some good pubs are: Ring of Bells Inn North Bovey, three miles; The Horse Moretonhampstead, five; The Rugglestone Inn Widecombe in the Moor, six. The north and south coasts are reachable in about an hour.
Local points of interest from Liza & Hugh Dagnall
- Situated in Dartmoor National Park - open sky and space, beautiful landscape and wonderful light for painting and photography. Ancient historical sites abound.
- Cycling in the surrounding countryside. Riding and trekking on the Moor.
- Near Castle Drogo (National Trust). Many fine churches and other interesting architecture.
- Good walking and birdwatching from The Barn. Springtime wild flowers and birdsong to delight.
- Bouldering and rock climbing on Easdon Tor - a 10-minute walk.
- Local markets featuring artisan food and interesting places to eat. Organic food widely available.

Introducing
Liza & Hugh Dagnall
Hugh and Liza moved to Easdon in 1999. They're both passionate about the preservation of this beautiful area of the National Park. From the very first moment they set foot here they realised how unspoilt it was: clean air, spring water, deep silence. They love sharing this with guests, wanting them to come and escape and step back from urban life.
There's something truly wonderful about coming in off a windy winter's moor to the warmth of a Dartmoor barn house. With its Rayburn radiating heat, its comfy double bed and the cosiest of bathrooms, it was almost impossible to heave ourselves out of the door onto the windswept slopes. Luckily Dartmoor is a heaven that can lure anyone out to experience its beauty. A perfect getaway for me, my girlfriend and little daughter. We couldn't have asked for more, except perhaps time. Thank you.
