This stunning countryside retreat is nestled within the picturesque setting of Heddon Valley and boasts proximity to beaches, attractions and eateries. Sleeping 10 guests and two perfect pooches, this property makes an idyllic spot for gatherings with friends and family. Get competitive with a game of snooker or just laze in the hot tub.

Kick off your walking boots, hang up your tangled scarves and make your way into this beautiful, one-of-a-kind property. This house is full of period charm, including the original exposed beams, characterful fireplaces and antique chandeliers. The impressive, fully equipped kitchen is a pleasant spot from which to sip your morning coffee at the breakfast table, while the grand dining room provides feasts of a more formal affair. In the evenings, enjoy a snuggle with your loved ones on the corner sofa in the beautiful lounge, watching the Smart TV or basking in the warmth of the fireplace. Try your luck with one of the two retro arcade machines in the lounge or compete with your guests in a snooker game. Spill out into the garden or grounds on balmier evenings, where after-dinner strolls around the 2 acres of private grounds provide countryside immersion like no other. Unwind with a soak in the hot tub, savour drinks in the Kota lodge, or lap up the views from the roof terrace – there’s something here to please everybody. Find five well-proportioned bedrooms on the first floor at bedtime, along with several bathing facilities.

Leaving your car keys at home is possible with this holiday home, owing to the fabulous facilities available from your doorstep, including the National Trust woodland and Exmoor National Park. If you’re looking to take the car for a spin, the award-winning beach of Woolacombe is well worth a visit (16 miles) and benefits from many top-class restaurants, cafes, shops and, of course, the spectacular shoreline. Other great days out can be enjoyed at Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park (6.5 miles) and Watermouth Castle (8.5 miles).

A stunning house in an amazing location. The property was spotless and had everything you could possibly want from a holiday cottage. It was well equipped and maintained. The grounds, hot tub, field and stream were very much enjoyed!

The house, its garden and grounds were wonderful. An idyllic spot to completely unwind and relax in within the tranquility and beauty of the Heddon Valley, The grounds are extensive and beautifully kept and provide space and generous equipment for children to play. Sitting in the area next to the stream was gorgeous - a favourite for us all. The KoRead moreta was a brilliant addition and I can see its appeal in the colder months, although in warmer times it provides a wonderful retreat. Hide

This is a great house with beautiful gardens, and the location is amazing. The facilities within the house are excellent, the owners have thought of everything- in a very thoughtful way - if that makes sense - so there is no why is there no salt?? stress! We would truly love to return to the property!

What a lovely property! Lovely gardens, super house, cool hot tub! We had a lovely holiday and are already looking again for next year (just a shame the school hols are so expensive - outside our reach!) The house and facilities (and the welcome pack etc) were all just perfect. Best holiday home we have ever stayed in.

The Barton was a fantastic house in which our family of 10 spent a week over Christmas. The rooms were very spacious with lots of added facilities like the hot tub, Kota House, playroom and dog shower. Absolutely ideal for the 3 generation get together. Location was very pretty too. We think our best Christmas holiday ever.
