Raleigh Barn - Detached Grade II Listed in a rural setting, two ensuite bedrooms

Raleigh Barn is a Grade II Listed converted milking parlour made of stone and cob in the grounds of a Listed farmhouse, all of which dates back to the 16th Century. We are in the heart of rural North Devon surrounded by peaceful farmland and hedgerows full of flowers and within 15 minutes drive of a long and varied coastline ranging from quiet sandy beaches to stunning rocky cliffs. This is a superb, relaxing location in any season. Those who love the great outdoors will love this area, ideal for nature lovers, water sports, walking, cycling, and more. The barn was newly converted in July 2014 and has a number of features to retain and enhance its character. It retains its original thick walls, has exposed beams and bags of character.

With all rooms on the same level, access is easy and both bedrooms have their own en-suites, one with a double-ended bath/shower and the other with a shower only. The bedrooms both have king-size beds and one room can be configured as a twin room if preferred.

The open plan living room has an area for dining and a well equipped kitchen with fridge, dishwasher, integrated oven and ceramic hob, and microwave. A washing machine (and dryer) and freezer can be found in the adjoining Boot Room. Furnished with comfortable fabric sofas and oak flooring throughout to complement the character of the cottage, the living area is bright and airy. There is oak flooring in the living area, kitchen and bedrooms and the whole barn is heated by underfloor heating from our biomass boiler. There is also a log burning stove in the living area for that extra cosy feeling on chilly nights!

French Windows open out onto the patio and garden with a seating area and BBQ and there is a secluded 2 acre meadow available for guests about 200 metres away along our private track. This has a small picnic table where you can enjoy distant views of Dartmoor and the rolling Devon countryside, while you do a bit of wildlife spotting.

There is private parking immediately behind the barn. In the village, less than 10 minutes’ drive away, is a friendly pub and shops.

Spotlessly clean barn in a stunning location
Had a fantastic week in this beautiful barn. Myles and Sarah welcomed us with home-made scones, which were delicious. It is spotlessly clean, very well equipped and in a stunning, rural location. There is plenty to do for all ages. Loved our daily fusses with Sally their dog and would thoroughly recommend.

Excellent rural retreat
We spent a week at the barn and enjoyed the peaceful rural location. The property was extremely clean on arrival and we devoured the delicious scones, cream and jam. The hosts have extensive local knowledge and their guide helped to point us in the right direction. They are on hand if you need but never in the way. This is a rural location suitable for day trips and exploring. Our favourite trips were to Putsborough Beach, as well as the Tarka Trail bike ride. The property has books and board games and our children enjoyed playing North Devon Monopoly!

Wonderful!
We loved our two weeks at Raleigh Barn. It's exactly as described and probably better than the photographs show. Lots of character, but with every home comfort. It's very well equipped and everything is of good quality. Excellent bedding and towels too. Myles and Sarah are delightful and we enjoyed their company - almost a much as we enjoyed Sally, their gorgeous springer spaniel, whom we are missing dreadfully. The location is really tranquil and we spent a lot of time just relaxing inside or in the garden - gazing at the bucolic views. There's easy access to all the main places of interest in North Devon, as it's fairly centrally located. We didn't eat out at all, preferring to cook and eat at home, where there was more appeal and which added to our relaxation. The kitchen was a pleasure to work in. All in all, we could not recommend Raleigh Barn more highly. Many, many thanks to Sarah, Myles and Sally for making our stay so memorable. Paul & Martin - Vancouver Island, Canada.

A comfortable rural property
A lovely property deep in the North Devon countryside, the friendly owners have clearly given a lot of thought to providing every comfort for their visitors. The local area is quiet and beautiful with the opportunity for walks around the property. The spectacular Devon and Cornwall coasts are within easy reach with many places to visit and explore. We would definitely recommend a stay.

My brother and I both very much enjoyed our stay. The weather wasn’t kind, but the property was very good and the owners were most helpful, without being intrusive. Would recommend and will hopefully visit again. Kelvin Trott.
