This beautifully restored barn welcomes large groups of friends or multi-generational families for an unforgettable escape close to North Devon’s incredible coast. The property is located around 14 miles from the vibrant seaside town of Bude. Here you’ll find sandy beaches, perfect for swimming, sunbathing and surfing, as well as a lovely sea pool and a variety of places to eat and drink. Families might also want to visit The Milky Way Adventure Park, 25 miles away, or the Roadford Activity Centre, 10 miles, where you can kayak, canoe, sail, paddleboard and fish. The edge of Dartmoor is around 20 miles away, for hikes and bike trails with sweeping views. Just 4 miles away, Holsworthy is a pretty market town with a weekly farmer’s market selling excellent local produce.

A careful renovation has transformed this former agricultural building into a wonderfully comfortable escape, retaining its character while adding superb modern amenities. Take one step up to the front door and enter the open-plan living space. Here you’ll find sumptuous sofas for relaxing after a day exploring. There’s a Smart TV for watching a movie together, while a full-size pool table offers a fun sociable alternative. Cooks will appreciate the sleek kitchen, which includes an American-style fridge/freezer – perfect for storing local produce. A generous central dining table has room for 12 to enjoy meals together. Two of the six bedrooms are also on this level, making the property a great choice for anyone who prefers to avoid stairs. One is a super-king-size, with zip-and-link beds to create a twin if requested, and the other is a king-size room. They share a stylish shower room. The remaining four bedrooms are on the first floor, where you’ll also find two further bathrooms: one with a shower over the bath and WC, and the other with a shower and WC.

The enclosed outside space wraps around this delightful holiday home, offering several seating areas in which to relax and enjoy dining alfresco, perhaps using the BBQ to grill some tasty treats in the sunshine. Completing this enticing escape is a hot tub, ready to soak tired muscles while enjoying the fresh air.

Shippen is a beautiful property that is very well looked after. I could not fault the cleanliness at all, everything was sparkling clean. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch with local produce. The location is peacful and quiet, perfect for a relaxed weekend away. The hot tub is a great benefit and easy to use. The garden is a great size, we wereRead more lucky enough to have sunny weather and the garden was a brilliant suntrap. Breakfast each morning outside on the large table and chairs was a holiday highlight. The owners were very accommodating, even allowing us to borrow some oil, that we forgot to pack! We had twelve guests staying and we were all very happy at the property with plenty of space for everyone. Hide
