Food and Drink

Devon and in particular Dartmoor is blessed with rolling farmland and huge coastlines which result in an abundance of high quality meat, game, fish and fresh vegetables which can be found both in local restaurants, local farmer's markets and local butchers, bakers and greengrocers in Bovey Tracey and Moretonhampstead.

High End Dining

High End Dining can be experienced at The Gidleigh Park Hotel, Bovey Castle and the newly opened Lympstone Manor in Exmouth run by the celebrated chef Michael Caine who has been awarded a Michelin Star just six months after opening.

More informal, family style dining can be found at:-

This is our second visit, we came to celebrate my daughter's 50th birthday. We had a great week, the Barn is so special. We are a family of different ages but all enjoyed it. We had a lovely meal at The Cleave, and cream tea at Primrose Tea Room, both excellent. We walked from The Barn down through the woods to the village - very enjoyable but quite a challenge walking back! We would certainly like to return. Thank you Sue and Roger - April 2018
