With sweeping views of the Devonshire coast from a secluded vantage point, your stay at this converted barn will likely lodge in your memory. Modernised in 2020 to create a sleek and tranquil retreat for four, the unique home comes with a garden hot tub, wood-burning stove and luscious garden that blends into the surrounding countryside. The interiors are rich with rustic features, from the exposed stonework in the living space to the A-frame beam ceilings. Contemporary touches, such as the full-height windows and Scandinavian-style furniture, complement rather than compete with the remnants of the original barn, while tasteful details like the slate grey flooring and country doors echo what the adjoining farmhouse might have looked like. You're just a twelve-minute drive from Barnstaple here, and twenty minutes from North Devon's spectacular beaches. Wind your way through verdant farmland en route, and stop off at Braunton for some traditional British pub grub on your way home.

About Woolacombe
Undulating hills rise up behind Woolacombe, creating a verdant backdrop that makes Woolacombe Beach one of the prettiest in Devon. In fact, the bay, which lies at the bottom of a valley, is often described as the best beach in Britain, with visitors able to surf, kayak and stand-up paddle board in its waters.
