Enjoy a taste of farm life without the early mornings and hard work with a stay at this handsome farmhouse, located just 3 miles from Devon’s north coast. The huge garden offers plenty of space for guests to enjoy outdoor leisure time - explore the rest of the farm and meet the resident alpacas, then spark up the BBQ and sizzle up a feast on long summer evenings.

This traditional farmhouse is set adjacent to the owners’ home, but with it's own private entrance, and has been finished with comfort and relaxation in mind. The lounge is a particularly attractive room in which to unwind, with its huge corner sofa, TV/DVD with Sky TV. The laid-back pace of rural life is right there for guests to enjoy, with a generously-sized private garden where you’ll find the BBQ and plenty of garden furniture. In addition to this, guests are free to enjoy the farm’s 350 acres of land, including the children’s playground with swings, trampoline and slides so they can run off steam easily.

The beautiful Heddon Valley, where this property is situated, is a picturesque coastal valley, offering breathtaking clifftop walks overlooking Devon’s north coast. Head out at sunset to enjoy truly magnificent views, or simply spend a day at the tranquil Woody Bay Beach which lies within 5 miles of the property and has a stunning natural rock pool, an idyllic place for swimming. Drive 6 miles to the charming town of Lynton, where you’ll find shops, pubs and eateries, as well as the Cliff Railway, which provides a beautiful ride down to the harbour in Lynmouth – a picture-perfect seaside town.
