Gather your favourite people and escape to this beautifully restored barn in the peaceful North Devon countryside. The six-bedroom home, which has plenty of space for large groups and multi-generational families keen for a sociable break, is ideally placed for exploring the coast and surrounding market towns. Nearby in the charming market town of Holsworthy (4 miles), you can browse the weekly farmer’s market and pick up excellent local produce. In beautiful Bude (14 miles), you’ll have sandy beaches ideal for swimming, surfing and sunbathing, alongside a lovely sea pool and plenty of places to eat and drink.
Carefully renovated to retain its original character, the barn has a spacious open-plan living area where you can spend time with fellow guests. Sink into the sumptuous sofas after a day of adventure, watch a film on the Smart TV or challenge each other to a game on the full-size pool table. The chic kitchen is fab for cooking up holiday feasts, while the generous dining table seats 12 comfortably. Two of the six bedrooms are located on the ground floor – a versatile super-king-size zip-and-link room and a king-size bedroom, alongside a stylish shower room. Upstairs are the four other bedrooms and two contemporary bathrooms. In good weather, relax in the enclosed garden, which wraps around the property and has several seating. You can dine alfresco, perhaps firing up the BBQ for an easy summer feast. There’s also a hot tub waiting to soothe tired muscles after busy days exploring. You’ll also have private parking for five cars.
There’s no shortage of adventures nearby, including Roadford Activity Centre (10 miles) where you can go kayaking, canoeing, sailing, paddleboarding and fishing. The Milky Way Adventure Park (25 miles) is a great bet for family-friendly fun.
