Escape to an utterly private location for an unforgettable stay at Sweetcombe Barn, a property with dramatic features and breathtaking views. Studded into the hillside 4 miles from the bustling seaside town of Sidmouth, alternate between calming solitude and the excitement of exploring East Devon. Lose yourself to the spectacular Jurassic Coast, dainty villages and scenic walks. On your return, step out onto the elevated decked terrace ready for a BBQ under the stars, before curling up indoors in front of the wood burner.

Attractive and modest outside, you’ll be stunned by the open-plan interior, exposed stonework and high vaulted ceilings of this converted barn. Contemporary yet homely, the downstairs space is warm and inviting with a large kitchen, lounge, and a dining area where you can feast like a king at the long dining table. Accessed by a steep staircase, the mezzanine bedroom overlooking the lounge is furnished with a king-size bed and two singles – take care as the beautiful sloped ceiling and character beams mean reduced head height. Outside, the terrace is just for adults, but children and dogs can play to their heart’s content in the enclosed garden below.

Renowned for its striking beauty, wildlife and rich history, East Devon is full of hidden wonders to discover. With oodles of footpaths on your doorstep, pack a picnic for a day exploring the wonders of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Seek out a cream tea within the charming village of Beer 7 miles away, spot kingfishers along the river by Otterton Mill 10.5 miles away, or change pace with a trip to Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary 5.5 miles away – the residents love a good scratch!

Very much enjoyed our stay at Sweetcombe Barn. The property was very warm and comfortable - although you need to be fit to cope with the stairs, which were steep. The location couldn't be bettered, and it was only the poor weather which prevented us from taking full advantage of the terrace, with wonderful views, outside the patio doors.

The perfect hideaway from busy lives. Nestled on a beautiful hillside with woodland to walk in, The Barn is clean, comfortable and cosy. You are 10-15 mins drive from Branscombe, Beer and Seaton which are all pretty seaside villages/towns. The owners have made your visit as comfortable as they can with plenty of local info in their file, a log burnRead moreer if you get cold, comfy sofas, your own private garden with fruit trees in, and a secluded setting. Definitely a holiday let we will return to! Hide

A delightful cottage in a lovely setting. It is very comfortable with all you need. However take care on the steep stairs The enclosed garden is great for dogs, but one end has a wire fence adjoining a field which does have cattle in it at times.

The cottage is nicely situated for Sidmouth, Beer and Seaton but Exeter and South Devon arent that far away either. Hide
