Our Story
We are Vicki and Gavin and together with our three children and Twiggy (the welcome whippet) run Clifford Barton Holiday Cottages. We fell in love with Clifford Barton in 2013 and had to try and find a way to make it work as a business. My love is home furnishings and craft and Gavin’s is woodland management. We both love Dartmoor and wildlife and with the environment always at the forefront of our mind this seemed to perfect opportunity for us all.
Our vision was to create stylish cosy places to stay, well equipped, a home away from home with modern day comforts, but sympathetic to the 16th century barn history. We wanted to make it easy for guests to connect with wildlife, with bird feeders that you can watch from the comfort of the sofa, bird, wildlife, wallk and map books.
We have 3 self catering holiday cottages, games barn, 50 acres of private nature reserve, all set in the wonderful Teign Valley on Dartmoor. Beautifully decorated cottages, a peaceful bolthole from the daily grind, Plenty of walking, fishing, cycling, wild swimming, wildlife watching.
