This impressive barn conversion, set in beautiful East Devon, within 4 miles of the Jurassic coast, is a perfect retreat for a family or friends planning to explore the surrounding countryside and beaches. Full of character, the property sleeps eight guests across four bedrooms and has far-reaching rural views from every window. It is just 1 mile from the delightful small town of Colyton, with its historic buildings, independent shops and excellent eateries. The seaside at Seaton is within 3.5 miles.

The barn’s original features include exposed beams and stone flooring that frame the charming country-style interior. A wood burner adds a cosy touch to the welcoming lounge, with comfortable seating. The spacious kitchen has a handy breakfast bar, while the dining room features a fine 15th-century oak screen. The ground floor houses an en-suite super-king-size bedroom which can be made up as a twin on request, benefitting from patio doors to the garden. Upstairs, find an elegant, contemporary bathroom and three further bedrooms: another super-king-size zip-and-link with an en-suite, and two king-size. Please be aware of steps into the barn entrance, with more on the ground floor. Outside, an unfenced stream runs through the enclosed garden, with a patio and outdoor furniture.

Head to Colyton’s characterful old railway station for a wonderful ride on the quaint Seaton Tramway. It runs alongside the River Axe wetlands before arriving in Seaton on the edge of the Jurassic Coast. There’s fun for all ages at the Jurassic-themed adventure golf course, and safe swimming from the pebble beach. Take the East Devon Way to explore the beautiful Coly Valley with pretty villages such as Colyford, and visit the celebrated Donkey Sanctuary at Sidmouth (7 miles).

Stayed here for a long weekend with 4 generations of family including 1 with reduced mobility , the downstairs bedroom and ensuite was perfect for him. All the bedrooms are very large with plenty of storage and lovely comfortable beds. We was a large group and it never felt crowded. The kitchen has every utensil you could need and there was plenty Read moreof plates, glasses etc. The property is rural but not far from the lovely village of Colyton with a well stocked shop. The welcome cream tea and wine went down a treat thank you Margaret and Brian for going above and beyond to make sure that we had everything we needed for a perfect weekend. Hide
