This property is one of three barn conversion holiday cottages located at the end of a farm track on the owner’s farm, which is just one mile from the Devonshire village of Shebbear.

The privately owned, traffic-free, village of Clovelly is also within a thirty minute drive, as are the sandy beaches of Bude and Westward Ho!

At the opposite end of the room, there is a dining table seating four, and a well equipped kitchen with an oven and hob, American-style fridge/freezer, microwave and dishwasher. A washing machine, tumble dryer, and an ironing board, as well as a range of DVDs, books, games, and wellingtons for guests to borrow can be found in a separate shared laundry room onsite. Stairs lead up to a galleried first floor bedroom, a lovely king-size room with exposed beams, a TV and DVD. An en-suite bathroom offers a roll-top bath, as well as a separate shower cubicle and WC.

Outside, there is a spacious sunny courtyard with garden furniture and a BBQ, making it a wonderful spot to enjoy alfresco drinks or meals during the summer months.

Ideal location for a couple of people with or without a dog. Location is great with its own secure woodland for dogs and humans explore. A short drive to Instow for a lovely dog friendly beach. Local pub is to be recommended as is the village store, both about 30 minutes walk. Despite inclement weather we got out every day and had a great stay.

Fantastic accommodation, me and my wife and our little yorkie stayed for the week and loved the farmhouse lodge feel of the place , we did loads of day trips to all the major towns locally and thoroughly enjoyed our stay . Our only minor criticism which wasn't really a bad thing was the rural location , but as said before was totally worth the stayRead more! Would definitely stay again. Hide

Absolutely perfect, peaceful setting, welcoming, everything you need is at hand. The woodland walk is brilliant for the dogs, but even if you have none its great to just wander around on your own. Oli and Jenny and there beautiful children are respectful if you just want the quiet time to yourself, but there if you ever need it.
