Boasting oak beams, high vaulted ceilings and original stone throughout, this former barn is both cosy and comfortable whilst retaining its timeless charm and character, the ultimate rural retreat perfect for couples and families to escape to the North Devon countryside and explore the natural beauty, scenic walks and wildlife this area is famous for. For those of you who love the water, head to Combe Martin beach 8 miles away, to try a spot of kayaking. Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park and Exmoor Zoo are less than 6 miles away.
You’ll find no better remedy for soothing weary walking muscles than hunkering down on the comfy sofa in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner and admiring homely contemporary touches and charming original features everywhere you look. As hungry tummies rumble, get creative in the contemporary farmhouse-style kitchen, to whip up a hearty feast to feed the crowd seated around the dining table, perfectly placed to enjoy wonderful countryside views. As the evening draws in, retire to the ground floor bedroom or master mezzanine bedroom featuring an earthy colour palette that perfectly reflects the scenic surroundings, that’ll leave you dreaming of tomorrow’s adventure. Soak up your fresh, countryside air by dining alfresco in the enclosed courtyard or if the weather turns, retire to the shared games room for a game of table tennis and a number of giant garden games like Jenga. Say hello to the resident goats and chickens on site.
