  • A converted barn which is situated on a 260 acre working farm
  • Located near the Devon/Cornwall border which is great for exploring the local area
  • Enjoy plenty of cliff top walks and be amazed by the dramatic coastline
Property code: OC-FIREB

Located on a 260-acre farm alongside another holiday home, this superb barn conversion offers an idyllic stay to guests. Bright and airy with a mixture of contemporary and classic country decor, it gives guests the opportunity to embrace a great mix of rural and coastal life. Maximise your position on the Devon/Cornwall border and visit popular seaside town Bude (14 miles) on the Cornish side or Westward Ho! (17 miles) on the other. Wherever you go, you’ll have this cosy single-level haven to come back to.

Whether you’re snuggled up on the sofa in front of the pretty electric fire or sitting outside at the table with your morning coffee, you’ll feel part of the countryside here. Enjoy superb views from the patio area, where you can see lush green fields for miles. The property retains some characterful features, including exposed beams and slate floors, and these are tastefully paired with more modern furnishings that bring the home to life. The open-plan living area is filled with light during the day, but once the curtains are drawn and the fire is on it becomes a relaxing haven to wind down after a long afternoon.

Take the short 5-mile trip to Hartland Quay, a beautiful beach with stunning views, then head to one of the many pubs and restaurants in the town centre (3 miles) for a drink and something to eat. Historic village Clovelly is 8 miles away and famous for its cobbled traffic-free streets and friendly donkeys, while kids will love the Milky Way Adventure Park just outside the village (7 miles). For something different, stroll around the Gnome Reserve and Wildflower Garden in West Putford (9 miles).

Weve just had a wonderful weeks stay at The Old Barn. The cottage was immaculate on our arrival and had everything we needed. Well equipped kitchen, lots of toys for the little one and the doggies even got a bag of treats amongst the blankets and bowl. Lovely and cosy with the heating and log burner which was brilliant given we had lots of wind andRead more rain. Plenty to do locally for all weather conditions. Jacquie was very helpful and friendly as and when needed. Thank you so much. Hide

Very lovely setting and excellent accommodation everything was perfect. Facilities were home from home. Able to walk dogs around the farm and across the fields. Not too far from great beaches and days out. Would definitely recommend as comfort and amenities were second to none in the accommodation.

when bringing pets with you. The cottage itself was cosy and clean, with all the necessary amenities. The surroundings were beautiful with plenty of walking opportunities. Just be aware of the lack of a back door for easy access for your pets. Overall, a pleasant stay.
