This charming complex of three converted barns and a stone cottage surrounded by rolling Devon countryside offers an idyllic retreat for large groups of friends or families seeking a relaxing holiday together, but with their own space. The properties are in the pretty village of Broadhempston, which is home to two pubs, a community-run shop, and a 13th-century church. The location is an ideal base for exploring the rugged landscapes of Dartmoor National Park (10.5 miles). South Devon Railway at Staverton is only 3.5 miles away, where you can enjoy a ride through the beautiful countryside.
These four gorgeous properties each have their own character and offer flexible sleeping arrangements. Each of the cottages has all the necessary appliances in the kitchen to make meal preparation a breeze. Cottage 1 has a king-size bedroom and features characterful exposed beams throughout. Spread across three floors, you can relax in the cosy lounge with a Smart TV, wood burner and dining table, rustle up some tasty treats in a compact kitchen, and bathe in a lovely shower room. In Cottage 2, you’ll find a delightful open-plan living space with slate floor tiles, where the kitchen flows into the living/dining area. Unwind on the comfortable seating and watch a movie on the Smart TV. Upstairs are a king-size bedroom, a twin bedroom, and a bathroom with a shower over the bath. Next up is Cottage 3, a beautiful light and bright reverse-level with a contemporary open-plan living space featuring an all-white kitchen, a dining table for meals and planning adventures, and plush sofas arranged around the Smart TV for movie nights and a wood burner for a cosy ambience. Downstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms: a king-size, a double with an en-suite shower room, and a twin, plus a bathroom with a shower over the bath. You enter the fourth property via French doors into the spacious kitchen with a dining table. The tranquil lounge contains comfortable seating for socialising, a Smart TV for your favourite box set, and you can pop a log in the wood burner on chilly evenings. Up the circular staircase are three welcoming bedrooms: a king-size with en-suite shower room, a king-size, and a twin. A family bathroom with a shower over the bath completes the layout. Each property has a designated, but not enclosed, private outdoor space. You’re welcome to explore the grounds, which include four acres of beautiful orchard, and venture further afield into the surrounding woodland. You will have exclusive access to the indoor heated swimming pool. After fun in the pool, head out to the veranda where you can relax in the sunken hot tub and take in the tranquil surroundings. There is private parking in a shared car park for eight cars.
