Embrace the opportunity to take life a little slower without sacrificing comfort in this innovative split-level barn conversion. Located in the quiet countryside of North Devon on an expansive 170-acre working farm, former barn is the perfect place for a romantic getaway. Drift off to sleep in a king-size bed and wake up to birdsong, followed by a leisurely breakfast together on the private patio in the morning sunshine.

With gorgeous broad windows and soft colours featured throughout, the property feels as airy, and as full of life as the surrounding countryside. The interior boasts exposed beams and wooden fixtures in a classic cottage style, with a contemporary twist in the open-plan, split-level living area. Step out of your king-size bedroom into a warm and spacious kitchen to fix yourself a cup of tea. A few steps down the pine staircase is the living area, and from here you can gaze out onto your enclosed shared lawn which is perfect for dogs to let off some steam while you plan your day.

Head 5 miles south for the pretty market town of Holsworthy, and its pubs, shops and tearooms. Holsworthy is also home to a weekly Pannier Market, a summer fair and November carnival, and a wealth of local history. For beaches, restaurants and a stunning ocean views drive westward for 12 miles just over the border into Cornwall to reach the famous seaside town of Bude. Grab your wetsuit and head to one of Bude’s beautiful golden beaches, or if you fancy some real rambling, you can access the South West Coast Path here - a delightful way for dogs and couples to spend time together.

Comfortable stay . A place to get away from it all and reset . Restful sleep and bird song . Welcome pack on arrival a thoughtful touch. Good communication with owner if needed . Car essential as no public transport nearby . Bude a short drive away with excellent accessible walks along wetlands and canal. Parking is a v.short but steep stroll from Read morethe property. A possible issue for those with mobility issues . Bedroom, bathroom and kitchen on different level to Lounge area (5 or 6 steps). Hide

What let this property down was the lack of cleaning. Every room, mirrors,pictures,inside and outside kitchen cupboards,windows,doors were full of spider webs. Pink mold on the shower head and grout in the bathroom. The whole place needed a good dusting and vacuuming. There were dog treats on the floor in the living room, toenail clippings in the bRead moreathroom. The accommodation was roomy and fairly well equipped but we wouldn't stay here again Hide

A light, airy, well equipped cottage, with a large enclosed garden. The bread and hot cross buns on arrival was a nice touch and very welcome. Situated down a farm track the access to the cottage can be muddy so boots advisable.

Very pleasant, comfortable, clean, thoughtfully equipped little retreat, right in the middle of the Hartland, Bideford, Torrington, Bude triangle. A Waitrose and a viaduct handy in Holsworthy, nearby. Generous hot water and wi-fi. Well suited to bringing your dog, as we did. Thank you.
