Perfect for couples seeking a peaceful retreat, this charming barn conversion, set within the owner’s picturesque grounds, offers lovely views over a blossoming orchard. With its tranquil location near the traffic-free Bude cycle route, the property is a wonderful base for romantic getaways yet remains equally suited for families looking to explore the Devon and Cornwall coast. Golden sands await at nearby Widemouth Bay (5 miles), a haven for couples taking beach walks and enjoying spectacular sunsets. Surfers and rock-pool explorers will love this award-winning beach too, with surf schools offering opportunities for beginners to take to the water. The vibrant town of Bude (5 miles) promises fun-filled days rowing along the canal, browsing galleries, or sampling local treats in its many cafes. Adventure parks such as The Milky Way (17 miles) and The Big Sheep (24 miles) are also within easy reach for families.

Inside, this beautifully designed barn blends modern comforts with countryside charm. Enter through the main door (down six steps) or via the garden patio doors for a seamless welcome into the open-plan living space. The lounge area invites you to relax on comfortable sofas, with a Smart TV for cosy evenings in. The dining space, bathed in natural light from the large patio doors, offers an intimate spot for meals with uninterrupted views of the orchard. Tucked behind elegant folding doors is the compact yet fully equipped kitchen – ideal for preparing romantic dinners or light lunches. The ground floor also features a stylish wet room and a twin bedroom, making the property perfect for those preferring single-level living. Follow the open-tread oak staircase to the first floor, where a beautifully presented double bedroom awaits. With its pitched ceiling and charming wooden panelling, this room is the perfect sanctuary for two.

Outside, a spacious decked area with garden furniture and a BBQ is there for leisurely breakfasts, evening drinks, or al fresco dinners surrounded by nature. Couples will love unwinding here, soaking up the peaceful atmosphere and orchard views, while families can make use of the large, enclosed lawn area, complete with swings and play equipment to keep little ones entertained.

Lovely, clean property in a peaceful location. Owners checked we had everything we needed but otherwise left us to it. They very kindly lent us some body boards and we were left some home made scones which we enjoyed when we arrived!

The Hideaway is a lovely place to stay and well arranged for holidays. Chris and Wendy are helpful hosts, supplying info and equipment (thanks for the drying rack) when required, but unintrusive. The Hideaway is very well placed for getting to many beautiful beaches and coves.
