  • Superb and stylish reverse-level barn offering an idyllic and restful retreat in the beautiful Devon countryside
  • Fully enclosed garden plus mature orchard next door – a lovely place to exercise the dog
  • An array of beaches to choose from nearby which include Woolacombe, Croyde and Westward Ho!
Property code: OC-87985

Situated 10 miles from Exmoor National Park and within easy reach of some of the most attractive corners of North Devon coast and countryside, this reverse-level barn offers a small family or group of friends a peaceful place to withdraw from modern life. Open-plan living areas, filled with an abundance of light and framed by vaulted ceilings, create an inviting atmosphere, which is complemented by the mature orchard begging to be explored by you, the little ones and your four-pawed friends.

Showcasing wooden flooring and fresh, modern furnishings throughout, a creative use of space with contemporary design features, there is so much to catch the eye here. Two spacious en-suite bedrooms - both with super-king beds- stand off the ground floor hallway, with a galleried area at the top of the stairs leading to an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner area. Thoughtfully apportioned, it invites social gatherings and a sense of distance at the same time, ideal for those who want to be left in peace to read by the wood burner or set the table while dinner cooks in the oven. A beautiful mature orchard sits opposite the barn, a place to roam and recharge.

Exmoor National Park (10 miles) is home to an astonishing array of wildlife, its dramatic moors and woodland crisscrossed by umpteen footpaths and trails. Grab essentials and a pub lunch in Umberleigh (1 mile), or for something more substantial, the bustling towns of Barnstaple and South Molton (both 10 miles) have pannier markets. The Tarka Trail (10 miles) is always a hit with visiting walkers and cyclists, while the popular beaches at Woolacombe, Westward Ho! and Croyde all lie within 20 miles of the barn.

East Hele Barn was perfect for our stay, as a base to explore North Devon. Comfortable stylish accommodation, with owners on hand if needed. Narrow lanes can be a challenge if you're not used to them.

This is a beautiful and very well equipped property down quiet and narrow country lanes. The owners had thought of everything - dishwasher tablets, pint of milk, washing up items. There is a fridge, dishwasher, washing machine with airer, camping chairs. Very comfy sofas. Just a note that you cannot get directly into the garden from the barn and thRead moree orchard is steep. Owners were extremely friendly and helpful and had left a very welcome cream tea. Hide

Barn was well designed and parking was easy. If WiFi/internet access is important to you this barns access was not fit for purpose. The single track lanes may be a problem for some people as this accommodation is some way off main roads. There were a few things we drew the owners attention to and hopefully they have now been sorted. Exeter Inn ChitRead moretlehamholt serve a very good Sunday roast. Hide
