This charming single-storey stone barn, situated within a courtyard of nine cottages, can accommodate up to four guests and is conveniently located just a stone's throw from the expansive two miles of golden sands. The area is renowned for its tranquil pace of life, picturesque beaches, quaint villages, and breathtaking scenery, making it a perfect spot for those who enjoy outdoor activities, including exciting water sports.
North Devon features an impressive 180 miles of walking and cycling paths known as the Tarka Trail, which provides access to some of the country’s most stunning landscapes. In addition to the natural beauty, families can explore local attractions such as The Big Sheep and the Milky Way, both of which offer fun and entertainment for all ages.

With 15 acres of working farmland surrounding the complex, there are plenty of footpaths to explore, perfect for leisurely walks or dog outings (with dogs required to be on a lead due to cattle).
