… a mile from Aveton Gifford, 300 yards down a tree-lined track off a lane, three very special places to stay within handsome former farm buildings: an airy converted barn (L248), a barn converted into a gallery (L191) overlooking meadows and a remarkable Grade II listed former music room (L249). A large, pretty, enclosed suntrap courtyard with fountain and flowers is shared with the friendly owners. Just outside the courtyard, a lawned walled garden (also enclosed) with camellias, fig and walnut trees, leading to another captivating garden with pond (unfenced) and 6 grassy acres with big wildlife pond (fenced), benches (terrific long views) and big trees to sit under, inviting you to rest, read or just enjoy the silence and let your mind wander (children should be supervised). L248 and L191 are heated by biomass boiler, using wood from local, sustainable woodland. Spring water. Arrival after 4pm. A peaceful, curative oasis, good for ‘taking it easy’.
... The Music Room is magnificent: detached, huge and incredibly romantic, once home to concerts and recitals, brilliantly converted. Three steps up into open-plan living/dining/kitchen (46' x 19') with vaulted stucco ceiling, four massive arched windows with stained glass border the length of the room generating light and colour, wood floor (rugs), woodburner, TV/DVD home cinema projector with surround sound, piano, iPod dock; smart fitted kitchen area (slimline dishwasher, microwave, cooker with induction hob, espresso coffee maker); step up to bathroom (suite with 4' bath with shower over). The bedroom is the stage (3 steps up) with 5' four-poster bed, stunningly presented and lit. No children, except pre-crawling babies. A stunning and extraordinary place to escape to, any time.

"Everything about our stay at the Music Room, from the booking process to the immensely warm welcome from the owners, was an absolute joy. As for the location, epithets escape us; suffice it to say that in this Elysian corner of South Devon we rediscovered peace, tranquility and the meaning of true rest."
