About this property
Countryside views from this converted barn which provides character-filled accommodation just over a mile from the town of Holsworthy, in the heart of the North Devon countryside. This barn is perfect for those who enjoy countryside views but want easy access to the town. There are two lovely bright bedrooms on the first floor along with a family bathroom. Downstairs there is a kitchen/dining area and a separate lounge with doors leading out to the garden area which is perfect to get some countryside air while enjoying a cool drink. Surrounded by rolling fields and wooded valleys and situated between the beautiful National Parks of Exmoor and Dartmoor, the market town of Holsworthy caters for all your amenities along with a lovely park area and leisure centre. A trip to one of the nearby beaches is a great day out and just over the border into Cornwall you will find Bude and Widemouth Bay both having soft sandy beaches ideal for sun worshippers, dedicated sand castle builders or try your hand at surfing the white waves. For the more energetic, the Tarka Trail offers miles of safe walking or cycling or maybe a round of golf or a countryside horse ride are on your list of wishes. A picnic at one of the National Parks offers some fabulous scenery with rugged moorland and hidden valleys. With the owners' property close by and a sister cottage, also available to rent, this is an ideal base to explore this part of Devon.
The ancient market town of Holsworthy lies nestled amid the rolling green hills of Tarka Country. There are many different landscapes within the region, from rugged cliffs and sandy beaches to rolling farmland and lush valleys. Holsworthy has much to offer, including a swimming pool, tennis court and splendid park with bowling green. The town centre boasts a varied selection of traditional shops, pubs and cafés, based around the market square. There is an 18-hole golf course just outside the town, while the local area is rich with opportunities for fishing, sailing, cycling and walking. The sandy beaches at Bude are within easy reach, while further afield visitors can explore the changing face of the South West Coastal Path, dramatic Exmoor and Dartmoor, and unspoilt Bodmin Moor, or simply relax in the quiet countryside that typifies North Devon.

The smart aspect of the TV was inoperable because of internet connectivity problems, thus all the more reason for a DVD player. There is an ongoing problem with flies from outside the accommodation entering whenever the front door is opened. We spent hours trying to eliminate these flies.

We really appreciated the games etc for the children and the cream tea. Really thoughtfully equipped, e.g lunch boxes, cling film etc.

Lovely comfortable and clean property. Very friendly owner Kathryn, and her mum, made us feel welcome. Cream tea on arrival was a really nice touch. Beds were comfortable, kitchen very well equipped. Our dog really enjoyed himself and was quite taken with the chickens, ducks and goose. Really nice to have some eggs from the chickens on sale which we really enjoyed. Nice quiet area but with shops and takeaways within easy reach. Great base to explore both Devon and Cornwall. Thank you for a lovey two weeks. Would definitely book again and recommend.
