Indulge in romantic countryside and coastal walks from this delightful barn then return to relax together in its exceptional comfort. Sleeping just two guests, the one-bedroom, single-storey conversion nestles with other holiday retreats on a working dairy farm, less than 1 mile on foot from Kennford and 5 miles from Exeter. Ideal for couples on a romantic break, it is perfect for those seeking to explore the historic city as well as the picturesque, natural landscapes of this corner of Devon.

Make yourselves at home in this beautifully finished holiday home, with its stylish, understated decor and immediate warmth. At its heart is an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with a vaulted ceiling and timber beams. Here, you can take turns at preparing delicious meals for each other on those occasions you decide not to dine out. Set the table for special dinners then cuddle up on the sofa afterwards in front of the Smart TV. Open the French windows on sunny mornings to bring in a fresh country breeze as you prepare breakfast and listen to your favourite bands via Alexa. At the end of each wonderful day away together in Devon, amble through to the king-size bedroom for a superb night’s sleep. Enjoy a refreshing shower in your contemporary-style, en-suite shower room before heading off for the day. This former barn has a private, enclosed courtyard where you can relax with a cocktail or a glass of chilled wine on summer evenings. There is private, off-road parking here for one car.

Venture down to the South Devon coast to spend time on its beautiful beaches or to stride out along the South West Coast Path. The golden stretches of sandy Dawlish Warren are 11 miles away. Head inland instead to discover the dramatic landscapes of Dartmoor National Park, 6.5 miles away.

Helen is a very welcoming host and has created a lovely place to stay. Although it is a busy working farm and ice cream parlour with lots of visitors the holiday lets offer a place of quietness and privacy. Wagon Linhay was just right for us, offering a very comfortable bed and plenty of hot water for a shower. It allowed us to visit family who livRead moree nearby as the road access was excellent, no dark country lanes or bumpy track! We are looking forward to returning with family in a few months time to enjoy one of the larger properties. Hide
