Two additional king and bunk bedrooms offer flexible sleeping options, making it an excellent choice for families or groups. A chic family bathroom ensures that every guest enjoys complete comfort.

Step outside onto the expansive wraparound deck, which seamlessly extends the living space into the outdoors. Whether you’re enjoying your morning coffee while soaking in the serene views or unwinding in the private hot tub as the sun sets over the valley, every moment here is designed for pure relaxation. The front terrace offers a peaceful spot for alfresco dining, where you can savour meals under the open sky with only nature as your soundtrack.

Location

The neighbourhood

The barn is located in the picturesque Devon countryside, posing many pretty walking routes close by for you and your four-legged friends to explore. The Exmoor National Park is particularly stunning with its dramatic coastline, stretching from Minehead in the east to Combe Martin in the west.

There are many beautiful beaches to visit in North Devon, with the nearest being Combe Martin Beach, just 2 miles away. Barricane Beach, Woolacombe and Saunton Sands are also great for days spent strolling through the sand, going for a dip in the sea or relaxing in the sunshine.
