Those looking for an ultra-luxe country retreat need look no further than this beautiful barn in South Devon. Immerse yourself in rural life and relish in the peace of living on a small working farm; the neighbouring community of hens and lambs contribute to the friendly atmosphere. Gather together with loved ones at this bright and spacious home and make memories that will last a lifetime.

 

A level path cuts through a pretty, private garden to bring you to the front door of this cottage. Inside you’ll find the space has been cleverly converted to highlight original features and make use of every nook and corner. With a roomy and rustic kitchen at your disposal, there’s no excuse for leaving the cooking to one person; it’s also handy that you can pass food from the oven straight to the table without taking a single step. Just off the kitchen is a plush living area, where you can retire in the evening to feel the warmth of the flickering fire and the underfloor heating. Step out through the French doors to the covered terrace, where you’ll also find a level lawned garden perfect for summer BBQs.

 

The ancient cathedral city of Exeter is nearby, where you’re sure to find a live music event, a buzzing creative scene and plenty of shopping options. Take a day trip to Sidmouth to feel the sand between your toes and experience the majestic red sandstone cliffs that date back to the Triassic period. There is plenty to keep the kids entertained with Wildwood Escot, Diggerland and Go Ape all nearby, but if you want a true Devon adventure be sure to visit Red Rock Leisure in Exmouth to try some thrilling water sports.

This was an exceptionally high level of accommodation. The beds and sofas were really comfortable. The underfloor heating kept us at the perfect temperature and the quality conversion of the barn meant that the property was draft free. Such a bonus in a characterful old building.

Lovely accommodation in the middle of the countryside. The rooms are huge and this meant there was plenty of space for everyone to relax and the dogs still had room to stretch out without getting under our feet!
