This remarkable property has been furnished to a high standard throughout, offering a private hot tub, wood burner and much more. It truly is the perfect bolt hole.

The vast, open-plan accommodation is ideal for family getaways and rural retreats with friends - get lost in the magic and charm of country life and leave feeling thoroughly refreshed. Head to the coast to find some of the country's most spectacular beaches or stay inland to enjoy pottering around the sleepy market town of South Molton or plan a day's hike across Exmoor.

Exposed wood and rich furnishings feature heavily in this barn conversion, creating a warm and welcoming environment. The magnificent open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is the perfect space for entertaining and from here, you can enjoy far-reaching views across the rolling countryside, through the impressive floor-to-ceiling window. The spacious kitchen area has all the equipment you need to rustle up a hearty meal for all the group after a long day of exploring. Of an evening, sink into the private hot tub, again with breathtaking views, or sit back with a glass of wine in the enclosed garden which envelopes the property.

Situated on the edge of Exmoor National Park, you can enjoy a wide variety of nearby walks, taking you past iconic Exmoor ponies and wild red deer. It's worth paying a visit to the tourist information centre in South Molton to discover which routes best suit your party. There are also some great family attractions nearby. In South Molton, you'll find Quince Honey Farm (6.5 miles away), which offers guided tours of its honey factory as well as numerous indoor and outdoor play areas and activities. RHS Garden Rosemoor (13.5 miles away) also provides a great day out, with fabulous floral displays and intriguing park and woodland walks.
