Description

A fantastic place to stay with kids, this property is located on Devon’s most popular ice-cream parlour attraction, a working dairy farm with children’s play facilities on site. Another popular attraction, Crealy Theme Park (8 miles), is just a short drive away and a must-visit for families. Also nearby, explore Exeter city centre (5 miles) for incredible architecture, fascinating history, and plenty of foodie hot spots, including restaurants, pubs, and cafes. Take a walk along the River Exe and enjoy the splendour of the city’s cathedral, either on a personal adventure or a free Red Coat Guided Tour. In the opposite direction, jump in the car and head for the coast. Explore the pretty seaside towns of Dawlish (8.5 miles) and Teignmouth (11 miles), or venture further to Torbay to discover the pristine beaches and family-friendly attractions of Torquay (19 miles), Paignton (21 miles) and Brixham (25 miles).

This immaculately presented barn conversion has been finished with a stylish eye, pairing minimalist furnishings with appealing artwork and bespoke fitted features. Step into the open-plan living space, where the lounge, kitchen, and dining area combine to create a social spot for day-to-day hangouts. In the lounge, soft seating, a Smart TV, and an Alexa smart speaker offer the ultimate setting for slow mornings or restful nights. From here, move into the kitchen/diner, featuring a central kitchen island and a large, rustic-style dining table. This entire cottage is laid out on one floor, so the three bedrooms are all within easy reach of the open-plan living space. Two rooms offer king-size beds, and the third is a delightful twin. Two rooms share a refreshing family bathroom, while the master bedroom offers direct access to a clean, contemporary en-suite shower room.

Outside, an enclosed courtyard provides a fantastic space to sit and enjoy the sights and sounds of working farm life. You’ll find an outdoor seating area here, perfect for unwinding alfresco. There is also a lockable shed for you to store bikes, surfboards, luggage etc.

Reviews

The Milking Shed is a beautifully converted barn in a lovely location on a busy dairy farm. It is well equipped and very comfortable. With the Orange Elephant Ice Cream Parlour and children’s play barn next door, it’s the perfect setting for a family holiday
