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.
