  • A converted barn location in rural location on a 170 acre organic farm with lovely country views
  • Fantastic base to explore both the Devon and Cornish coasts
  •  Spacious and comfortable inside and out
Property code: GMEAD

A beautiful converted stone barn, 5 miles north of Holsworthy, this is one of three properties in a complex, on a 170 acre organic farm, the barn is set in stunning Devonshire countryside, with some of Britain’s best coastal walks on your doorstep. Find breathtaking beaches at Bude and Morwenstow (11 miles), and one of England’s most unspoilt coastal villages, Clovelly (14 miles). Holsworthy is a lovely little market town with a medieval church and many old and independent shops, pubs and restaurants.

The barn has been sympathetically restored, both retaining its rustic charm and transforming its interior to a glorious open-plan home with gorgeous country views. The lounge/kitchen/diner is well-appointed and perfect for intimate meals and cosy nights. Open-tread wooden steps lead upstairs. The spacious double bedroom has quirky old beams and a vaulted ceiling, with fantastic farmland views, and the single is tranquil and idiosyncratic with its deep-set window and exposed wood. The bathroom is fresh and bright. Outside is a private patio with BBQ and seating, again with sweet country views. The shared games room is a great space for pool, darts and table tennis.

Why stay in though, when there’s so much to do outside. Summerleaze beach in Bude is a gem – relax at the on-beach swimming pool, watch the high-wave surfers or bring your own board. Stray from the beaten track and find Hawker’s Hut on the Coast Path near Morwenstow; it’s a private little piece of heaven. Go back in time at Clovelly and enjoy the fresh seafood and local ale, and explore Hartland Point with its dramatic white lighthouse (15 miles). Explore Bideford and its wild estuary and dunes (17 miles), art galleries and the North Devon Maritime Museum at pretty Appledore (19 miles). Let this stunning holiday property be your base for marvellous adventures.

The cottage is lovely and in a superb spot for exploring both Devon and Cornwall ( could do with some cobweb exorcisms though)!

The facilities were excellent, and although we didnt use it the recreational/games room it would have been a great asset if the weather had been a problem.

Nice cottage in a nice remote location. Comfortable beds. Felt a little damp in the bedrooms at night. Mold in shower needs sorting.

The cottage was warm and welcoming after a long 6 hour drive. It was spotlessly clean, had everything we needed for a weeks stay. The location is a little far from some places we visited but that didnt worry us as we knew we had somewhere cosy to come back to.

The photos for the property looked beautiful, but was much smaller inside and unfortunately not that clean. Our dog found many remaining dog treats under kitchen units and a grape under the sofa. Luckily we found it in time. There were many cobwebs within the property, and the kitchen lacked many useful items. We were disappointed in our stay.

Cottage was in a lovely spot damp but considering the amount of rain we got, Im not surprised . More cutlery would be helpful and just some general info would have been useful. Especially about the bins and recycling, and local area. A bit of a welcome pack would have been a nice touch, as there is no shop in walking distance. The showers were likeRead more standing under a jet wash. Hide
