Beautiful area

This home is in a scenic location.
The Long Barn is part of a rare medieval farmstead. Hidden in the Tamar Valley AONB on the banks of the River Tamar. Set in 17 acres the farmstead has been around since before the Domesday Book.

The barn itself was originally a Shippon in the 1800's and has now been converted into comfortable accommodation . It offers classic country comfort whilst aiming to be as environmentally friendly as possible.

The space
The Long Barn is part of the medieval farmstead at Rumleigh Farm. Despite it's age it is a cosy retreat from the hustle and bustle of modern life, with all the comforts you would expect on holiday.

+++ The Annex +++
Additional to the The Long Barn is The Annex - a downstairs double room with large walk in shower. This is an optional booking which may be available at an additional cost - please discuss this directly with us via the message app.

With no light pollution and only the sounds of surrounding nature you can really switch off in a rural paradise, nestled in the valley providing the ideal break to get away from it all.

Based on the River Tamar and just a few minutes drive from Dartmoor bring your paddle boards, four legged friends and your boots and enjoy the best that the British Countryside can offer.

Guest access
The Long Barn is a self contained wing of the farmstead. We live on site to tend to the livestock and ensure the eco wood biomass boiler runs.

The optional ground floor Annex has its own entrance from the courtyard and a stable door backing onto the garden.

Although we are a working farm you are welcome to enjoy our fields and river bank. Dogs need to be on leads as our sheep and goats have horns! There are also free ranging chickens, geese and a cat.

We can let you know plenty of local dog walking spots where your four legged friend can go off lead and with Dartmoor only a 15 minute drive away, we know they will have a great time.

There is ample free parking on the Farm - we ask that the main courtyard is kept free to allow for deliveries.

Other things to note
In the summer when we hold weddings and events on the farm we will generally live in The Hop House and let The Long Barn in between larger functions.

+++ The Annex +++
Additional to the The Long Barn is The Annex - a downstairs double room with large walk in shower room and separate toilet.

This is an optional booking that you can add on to your reservation. It is ideal for members of your group who are not confident with stairs. It has its own sloped entrance to the garden and the front courtyard.

Price £120/night in addition to your Long Barn stay. Please message us directly for more information.
