Smart barn conversion. Perfect touring location, for beaches, moors & Cornwall

Delightful property set within farmland but only five miles from the city of Exeter. Far reaching views to Dartmoor and close to A30 for Cornwall. Wonderful touring destination for walkers and families with beaches half an hour away. High speed internet and all mod cons. Private courtyard garden and use of shared grounds. Perfect comfort at the end of a long day exploring the beautiful Westcountry

Idyllic countryside barn

We loved every second of our stay in The Barn. Very central for exploring the region and it was lovely to return to a quiet and comfortable home each night. The shower in the bathroom has great pressure and the amenities were everything we needed. Felt very welcome and safe during our stay.

Lovely cottage stay

Our family enjoyed a beautiful stay in your gorgeous barn conversion. We were welcomed with a lovely bouquet of fresh flowers. The cottage had everything our family needed for a relaxing stay. Fresh towels and linen were provided along with wood for the fire and everything in the kitchen. We loved everything about our stay from the sweet touches of sheep in each room to the wake up call from the cows. Booking, check-in, and check-out couldn’t be easier. Communication with the host was always easy and timely. Thank you Christine and Shaun for a beautiful stay!

Lovey property

We stayed for four nights as our daughter is at Exeter University and had a reading week. We were able to have some great days visiting the area and have a chilled out and relaxed time. Property was very nice in a great location and handy to get around. Would recommend to similar people or to anyone wanting to explore South Devon. Great Stay!

Really lovely barn conversion

We were really surprised at how lovely the barn conversion was. Although it is a little off the beaten track it is ideal for exploring the area so close to all the busy commute roads, It is so quiet in the countryside you can really chill. Would definitely recommend to others and hope to visit again
