The Barn at RyePark House, located in Barnstaple, Devon, offers a tranquil escape for couples seeking a romantic getaway. Nestled within a picturesque landscape, guests can enjoy the serene environment while being just a mile away from the quaint village of Bratton Fleming, which features a local shop, café, and post office. The barn is surrounded by lush pastures and overlooks an ancient wooded valley, complemented by the soothing sounds of a nearby babbling river. This idyllic setting serves as an excellent base for both relaxation and exploration, providing access to the stunning natural beauty of North Devon, including the rugged terrain of Exmoor and the picturesque beaches of the ‘golden coast’.
The barn itself is a beautifully converted space that combines rustic charm with modern amenities. With exposed beams, a vaulted ceiling, and striking stone walls, it exudes a timeless elegance. Guests can indulge in the luxury of a private hot tub, available at no extra charge, and benefit from superfast, unlimited Wi-Fi and underfloor heating. The open-plan design features a fully equipped kitchen with high-end Neff appliances, a dining area that accommodates four, and a cozy lounge with comfortable seating, a large flat-screen internet TV, and an electric wood burner. The bedroom provides a peaceful retreat, boasting a king-size bed with a luxury mattress and plush bedding, ensuring a restful night’s sleep.
Outside, the terrace is perfect for alfresco dining and relaxation, featuring a private hot tub that is emptied and refilled for each guest. Visitors can enjoy the natural surroundings by taking leisurely strolls through the nature reserve, along the riverbank, or into the woods, with opportunities for picnicking and interacting with friendly, hand-raised sheep. In the evenings, guests can unwind with a good book or a movie, followed by a soothing soak in the hot tub. The location is particularly special for stargazing, as Exmoor National Park is recognized as an International Dark Sky Reserve, showcasing some of the darkest skies in the UK.
Despite its secluded feel, RyePark House is conveniently situated within a short drive of various attractions. The area boasts natural beauty, with Exmoor National Park and the North Devon Coast offering plenty of outdoor activities. Guests can explore local attractions such as Exmoor Zoo, Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park, Funder Zone, and Marwood Hill Gardens. For those seeking adventure, options for snorkeling, windsurfing, mountain biking, and hiking are readily available nearby. The Barn at RyePark House provides a unique blend of comfort, luxury, and natural beauty, making it an ideal choice for a memorable getaway.
