Property code: INFCB

This charming barn conversion in the stunning North Devon countryside is the ideal rural bolthole. Situated in the grounds of a farm along with two other properties, guests can immerse themselves in the unbridled tranquillity, marvel at the far-reaching views and appreciate being only 3 miles from the pretty village and beach of Instow with its sand dunes, sailing club, independent shops, pubs and cafes. Although relatively isolated, this property is still ideally situated to explore everything that North Devon has to offer.

Sympathetically converted and decorated, this property has plenty of traditional features such as exposed beams and stone walls. It feels warm and homely throughout, making it the perfect place to unwind and relax. On the ground floor, you’ll find the spacious lounge, which is cosy and comfortable with a wood burner effect electric fire, and one of the bedrooms. The master bedroom boasts a grand four-poster bed and is accessed via a staircase in the lounge, as is the shower room. Outside, guests can join in with some farm activities, which is perfect for families. There is also a shared garden with BBQ and furniture.

Only 3 miles away is Instow where 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). Why not stop off at Fremington Quay café (4 miles) for fabulous sandwiches and cakes. For miles of golden sand and clean surf, head to Westward Ho! (7 miles) and for award-winning family fun head to The BIG Sheep and/or The Milky Way both within 15 miles.

Stayed at Cherry Blossom, first holiday with our son/girlfriend, loved every minute of it apart from the rain. The cottage was clean, comfortable, had milk, coffee/tea/sugar and biscuits and a dozen fresh eggs. We had our dog with us and she was made to feel welcome. The garden isn't fenced in and is shared with the cottage next door but that didn'Read moret bother us. Field to walk dog excellent. The beds comfortable, cotton bedding. One bed a king. The owners friendly answered queries promptly by text. Hide

The cottage was charming and comfortable, we were made to feel incredibly welcome and any issues were quickly rectified. The location is ideally located for reaching numerous local attractions - we visited Westward Ho, The Big Sheep, Instow Beach, Tapeley Park and the Gnome Reserve at Merry Harriers Garden Centre. The single drawback with the locatRead moreion is the lack of walks accessible on foot from the farm but as there are many accessible within a short drive, this causes minimal inconvenience. Hide
