Property code: INFOB

This delightful barn conversion in the beautiful North Devon countryside is the ideal rural retreat. Situated in the grounds of a farm along with two other properties, guests can indulge in the tranquillity, enjoy the far-reaching views and still be only 3 miles from the pretty village and beach of Instow with its sand dunes, sailing club, independent shops, pubs and cafes. Surrounded by luscious countryside, this property is ideally situated to explore everything that North Devon has to offer.

Traditional features such as exposed beams, stone walls and low windows make this property feel cosy and comfortable, whilst the vaulted ceilings and light walls make it feel bright and airy. The open-plan lounge/kitchen is spacious and a small step from here takes you into the dining area which is situated in front of a window. The master bedroom (king-size) can also be found on the ground floor and has fitted wardrobes. The twin room is found on the first floor along with the bathroom. Outside, guests are invited to join in for some farm activities, which is perfect for families. There is also a shared garden with BBQ and furniture.

Instow is 3 miles away and from here you can cycle or walk the Tarka Trail, a disused railway line, to either the historic, market town of Bideford (3.5 miles) or the larger town of Barnstaple (7 miles). You could even stop off at Fremington Quay café (4 miles) for one of the best cream teas around! Westward Ho! has miles of golden sand and clean surf for those sunnier days (7 miles) and award-winning family attractions, The BIG Sheep and The Milky Way are within 15 miles.

The cottage is very well appointed, nicely decorated and practical lay out. Has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Welcome lovely. The grounds are beautiful with wonderful views. Not far to travel to many attractions and the moor/north coast is about 40 mins drive. Local beach is good for the dog and rock pools, but you cannot swim there.

Lovely place, peaceful and tranquil. Would highly recommend. Hosts were very welcoming and thoughtful. If you want to switch off and just chill, cant think of many places better to do just that.

We had an amazing stay at this gorgeous little cottage. It has amazing views and is quiet and relaxing. Its in a great location to use as a base as well. It had all the amenities you needed and you could use a washing machine which was very helpful with a toddler. We would definitely stay again.
