Larger families in search of a traditional seaside holiday will immediately feel at home in this spacious, stylishly-converted barn on a smallholding within 3 miles of pretty Clovelly harbour village. With bags of charm and original features, it’s the perfect rural getaway on the North Devon/Cornwall border, with a private hot tub, countryside views, and a garden for children and dogs to run off steam. Children can even get to know the resident goats and lambs!
The living areas, plus two bedrooms and a bathroom, are downstairs, with two more bedrooms and another bathroom upstairs. There’s a dining table for sociable meals in the slate-floored kitchen/diner, and the cosy living room has masses of lounging space on the plush leather sofas and a wood burner for cooler evenings. The general feel is of comfortable solidity, with exposed stonework, white-washed walls, and natural materials. Bright colour highlights and traditional touches - wrought-iron bedsteads and Lloyd-loom chairs - create a homely atmosphere. Outside, your secluded patio with private hot tub, cute ‘rowboat’ changing booth, BBQ and picnic table provides more social space; kick back in the sunshine and breathe in the fresh countryside air. The two other properties at The Retreat can provide extra space for extended families who want to holiday together free of transport hassles.
You can enjoy peaceful country walks from your doorstep, and the South West Coast Path has breathtaking views along the Hartland Heritage Coast area. Clovelly, a quintessentially quaint seaside haven, has narrow, cobbled lanes, a beach, and a choice of pubs, shops and cafes. Hartland Quay village, facing the Atlantic 6 miles away, has impressive cliff scenery too. Cheerful Bude beach resort town, 16 miles away, has shops, pubs and golden Summerleaze Beach.
