This barn conversion is tucked away near the picturesque village of Burlescombe. Sitting within an International Dark Skies Reserve, you’ll be treated to starry skies on a clear evening – the bedroom even has a stargazing window so you can view the night sky from the comfort of the suspended bed. We love the characterful features here, like the hand-crafted sliding bedroom door and the oak breakfast bar. While the kitchenette is small, it’s got everything you need to whip up a light bite or snack, and for heartier meals, you’ll find a variety of cafes, pubs, and restaurants nearby. Location-wise, you’ve got the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and Tiverton with its canals and castle, within easy driving distance.

We think the small kitchenette is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There’s free off-street parking for one car here.
