Set in an elevated position overlooking the Devon countryside, this impressive property is perfect for a relaxed stay away from the bustle of daily life. When you’re done for the day, relax in your private enclosed lawn and breathe in the delightful country air.

High ceilings and an open-plan layout add plenty of space inside the barn, providing a great spot for families and friends to unwind in each other’s company. With a wood burner in the lounge area and underfloor heating on the ground floor, you’ll feel cosy and warm all year round. Throughout the decor is clean and contemporary, with quirky farmyard touches so you won’t forget you’re in the heart of Devon here. Outside, enjoy some al fresco dining or laze in the hammock, which you will find in the BBQ area that is shared with the other property on-site.

Enjoy a country walk or short drive into the nearby village of Chulmleigh (5.5 miles) and enjoy its range of shops and pubs. Here you will even find a golf course and riding stables to keep you entertained during your stay. Further afield, head to the famous moors, Dartmoor (16 miles) and Exmoor (19.5 miles), where you will find plenty of walking and cycling opportunities. Of course, it isn’t a Devon holiday without a trip to the beach, and North Devon’s golden sands and great surf makes for a great day out. Head to Westward Ho! (20 miles), Saunton (24 miles), or Woolacombe (29 miles).

Had a lovely one week stay at Old Orchard. Well maintained accommodation and grounds. Nice view from the cottage to the lake and resting place, the woodland walk also very pleasant. Being somewhat remote, absolutely no traffic noise nearby or in the distance. The owners were very pleasant, friendly and approachable. It is located next to a working Read moresheep farm which was no bother at all to us. Plenty of wild birds to see and squirrels in the trees outside. Hide

Such a lovely, peaceful place to stay. Really spacious, comfortable and extremely well equipped. Perfect for a chilled break in the countryside - it was just wonderful to be woken by the sound of bleating sheep!

Lovely, clean, well equipped house and owners were very friendly and welcoming. We all loved meeting and feeding the animals on the farm, a great little extra to our stay. House was spacious which was great, especially for my dad who these days struggles with mobility but could move around the house freely with his walking frame. Situated in a peacRead moreeful rural area, it was lovely to wake up to the quiet for a change. Absolutely loved our week there. Hide

We had a fantastic stay at Westyard Farm, finally returning again after staying a few years ago. The Old Orchard is a stunning property set within lovely grounds. We loved being off grid and away from normal life for a week. Some highlights were meeting the farm animals and feeding them with our 2 year old, star gazing, exploring the woods and lakeRead more, watching the sheep through our windows. Everything was perfect, we would love to come back again soon! Hide

Excellent quality accommodation in a stunning location in rural Devon. It is remote and a decent drive to the nearest supermarket however that is what we were looking for in our case. Our hosts were very friendly and accommodating.
