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. There is plenty to see and do within a thirty minute drive of the property, including the traditional harbour town of Bideford, where there is an interesting array of independent shops, and from where it possible to take a boat trip out to the wildlife rich island of Lundy, with its resident seal colony. 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!

This stylish barn conversion property provides spacious and comfortable accommodation for a couple, with some lovely original features. On the ground floor, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is a lovely relaxing space, with two separate seating areas, one in front of the cosy woodburner, and the other offering somewhere to enjoy the TV and DVD. 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. Guests are also able to make use of the owner’s 12 acres of woodland, and neighbouring paddock, which make a great space for exercising dogs.

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.
