Overview
Property code: BDOWN

Enjoy a taste of farm life without the early mornings and hard work with a stay at this handsome farmhouse, located just 3 miles from Devon’s north coast. The huge garden offers plenty of space for guests to enjoy outdoor leisure time - explore the rest of the farm and meet the resident alpacas, then spark up the BBQ and sizzle up a feast on long summer evenings.

This traditional farmhouse is set adjacent to the owners’ home, but with it's own private entrance, and has been finished with comfort and relaxation in mind. The lounge is a particularly attractive room in which to unwind, with its huge corner sofa, TV/DVD with Sky TV. The laid-back pace of rural life is right there for guests to enjoy, with a generously-sized private garden where you’ll find the BBQ and plenty of garden furniture. In addition to this, guests are free to enjoy the farm’s 350 acres of land, including the children’s playground with swings, trampoline and slides so they can run off steam easily.

The beautiful Heddon Valley, where this property is situated, is a picturesque coastal valley, offering breathtaking clifftop walks overlooking Devon’s north coast. Head out at sunset to enjoy truly magnificent views, or simply spend a day at the tranquil Woody Bay Beach which lies within 5 miles of the property and has a stunning natural rock pool, an idyllic place for swimming. Drive 6 miles to the charming town of Lynton, where you’ll find shops, pubs and eateries, as well as the Cliff Railway, which provides a beautiful ride down to the harbour in Lynmouth – a picture-perfect seaside town.

We had a really great time here. Communication with Ashley and Mel was smooth and they even ordered equipement for us we forgot at home + recommandations of things we needed to visit. The house was clean and large, with nice views at the garden and surrounding hills. There are al lot of coves, beaches and walks in the neighbourhood to explore. TherRead moree is enough space to park and - even though it doesn't look this way on Google Streetview - the private garden is very secluded. Would visit again! Hide

One of the best holiday cottages we have stayed in. Comfortable, warm, good showers, beautiful garden, quiet loaction. Great walking possibilities from the door. The steam railway ride made a fun conclusion to one walk.

We loved our stay at the house - the surroundings are stunning, plenty of parking and it was beautifully clean upon arrival.

A decently sized house with generous garden. The location is convenient - on a very quiet lane yet only a few hundred yards from the A39 and a short drive to Lynton. Overall, a good place to relax and also convenient as a base to tour North Devon.

Lovely property with great hosts In such a beautiful area and countryside. Being a city dweller, I loved listening to the birds singing and chasing each other. Highly recommended Only suggestion would be to take a torch for evenings.

Lovely house in beautiful setting. The large grounds are wonderful and we would have been happy to sit in them all day. The grandchildren also loved it.
