  • Overlooking a beautiful lake
  • A short  drive to one of the many beautiful beaches the region has to offer 
  • One of two barn conversion properties on the site
Property code: SHEPH

One of a pair of two gorgeous barn conversions set on a tranquil 150-acre estate near to the Devon/Cornwall border, Shepherds Rest is the perfect place for a quiet break in the country. The property has its own fully stocked fishing lake and a shared games barn with table tennis and pool table for guests to enjoy, as well as the opportunity to walk around the beautiful grounds. A private enclosed garden and patio is the perfect place to come together for an evening BBQ and sundowners.

Whether you’re enjoying breakfast in the farmhouse-style kitchen or relaxing in front of the flame effect electric fire in the cosy lounge, you will be greeted with wonderful country views due to the reverse-level style of this house. The subtle colours of the bedrooms downstairs create calming havens, ideal for a peaceful night’s sleep. Wake up to the gentle sounds of the country the next morning, ready for a day exploring the treasures of the South West.

If sand and sea are your cup of tea, hop in the car and drive to the Cornish seaside town of Bude with its amazing beaches, 9 miles away. Head to Summerleaze Beach which not only has a huge expanse of sand, but also a semi-natural tidal pool, ideal for days when the Atlantic Ocean is in full force. Join the coastal path here up to the Hartland Heritage Coast or head 25 miles south to discover the Arthurian legends of Tintagel Castle. For local shops, walk the 1 mile into the market town of Holsworthy where you can also sample a delightful traditional Devon cream tea.

We had a lovely stay in this very clean, spacious, and well-equipped home in a tranquil, rural location. The owners were so kind, friendly and helpful, and made us feel very welcome. Secure garden, scenic views. The games room was a real bonus for the children! Just a short (20 minute) walk on a quiet country lane to Holsworthy, which has a good raRead morenge of small supermarkets, shops, pubs, etc. and weekly market. Highly recommend this lovely home, and would love to stay again. Thank you! Hide

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location. Everything was very clean and the cottage was well equipped. 20 minutes walk into Holsworthy for shopping, pubs and takeaways. Bude is a short drive and is a lovely day out with walks on the beach and along the canal.

Clean and spacious with high quality furnishings and decor. The reversed layout with steps up to the 1st floor and stairs down to the bedrooms and bathroom works fine. Garden is secure for dogs. Owners live next door and are friendly and helpful. Surprise scones with jam and cream day before leaving was a nice touch!

Lovely location. The farm is very rural with Holsworthy (and Waitrose) a 5 min car ride away. We loved Bude and the spectacular coastline. Really good places to eat as well. Our hosts were so helpful and the boys enjoyed the games room immensely.

Really enjoyed our stay at Shepherds Rest. Really lovely property well furnished and equipped. The men folk appreciated the games room as the weather wasnt brilliant and also really enjoyed the fishing pond from which my husband caught his best ever Rudd. The property is ideally situated for visiting the lovely coastal resorts of both Devon and CorRead morenwall. The owners Jenny and Malcolm were lovely and the cream tea provided delicious. We would love to stay again, hopefully with sunshine!! Hide

The location was stunning and although near to useful places, beautifully remote enough. Lovely rolling hills and fields and the main house overlooks a gorgeous pond.
