This delightful barn conversion in the beautiful North Devon countryside is the ideal rural retreat. Situated in the grounds of a farm along with two other properties, guests can indulge in the tranquillity, enjoy the far-reaching views and still be only 3 miles from the pretty village and beach of Instow with its sand dunes, sailing club, independent shops, pubs and cafes. Surrounded by luscious countryside, this property is ideally situated to explore everything that North Devon has to offer.

Traditional features such as exposed beams, stone walls and low windows make this property feel cosy and comfortable, whilst the vaulted ceilings and light walls make it feel bright and airy. The open-plan lounge/kitchen is spacious and a small step from here takes you into the dining area which is situated in front of a window. The master bedroom (king-size) can also be found on the ground floor and has fitted wardrobes. The twin room is found on the first floor along with the bathroom. Outside, guests are invited to join in for some farm activities, which is perfect for families. There is also a shared garden with BBQ and furniture.

Instow is 3 miles away and from here you can cycle or walk the Tarka Trail, a disused railway line, to either the historic, market town of Bideford (3.5 miles) or the larger town of Barnstaple (7 miles). You could even stop off at Fremington Quay café (4 miles) for one of the best cream teas around! Westward Ho! has miles of golden sand and clean surf for those sunnier days (7 miles) and award-winning family attractions, The BIG Sheep and The Milky Way are within 15 miles.

A very comfortable cottage in the middle of the coutryside adjacent to sheep fields and a quiet Farmhouse and buildings with splendid views of Bideford in the distance. The three piece suite was particularly comfortable and the TV was the easiest to control at the many cottages we have stayed at. The kitchen was adequately provided with equipment fRead moreor cooking meals, and the price charged for the cottage was fair. Barnstaple Sainsbury supermarket only 8 minutes drive away. Hide

The cottage was lovely, comfortable and very clean. It was well equipped and the little extras were appreciated. It was lovely being on the farm surrounded by the sheep and lambs. Out Border collie loved it and had plenty of space to exercise. The owners were very friendly and helpful.

Lovely cottage to stay in, perfect location, some minor improvements needed, if you're taking a dog it's not allowed to be left alone in the cottage so days out need to be planed around taking your dog everywhere. Overall a lovely relaxing stay in a great location.
