Property code: THORN

This stunning, 5-star, barn conversion in North Devon is the perfect place to enjoy a special holiday with friends, family and your four-legged friends. With nine acres of grounds in a rural setting and a fun games barn, the children and animals are well-catered for, leaving the adults to relax and catch up with a glass of wine on the patio. Everyone will benefit from the fresh country air on long walks from your doorstep. Despite its peaceful location, it is conveniently located to access the rugged coastline, sandy beaches, clean surf and local towns.

Sympathetically converted, this property has many traditional features that hark back to its agricultural history, but its cool, contemporary décor makes it feel fresh and modern. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining room is vast and offers more than enough space for guests to spread out and make the most of the property; there is no doubt the dogs will grab the spot in front of the wood burner in the lounge. An additional smaller lounge offers peace and quiet. With one bedroom and en-suite shower room downstairs, the other five bedrooms and four bathrooms can be found upstairs. Outside, there is plenty of space to explore, including a private patio and lawned garden.

Westward Ho! (9.5 miles) is a typical seaside town with a range of shops and eateries, but also has a long sandy beach and rolling waves for everyone to enjoy – be sure to check seasonal restrictions on dogs. If you’d rather view the coastline without getting sandy paws, join the South West Coast Path at Peppercombe (5 miles) and discover smaller coves and picturesque spots as you venture north or south. There are many family attractions nearby such as The Big Sheep (6 miles) and The Milky Way (7.5 miles).

Thornewidger Barn is absolutely the perfect place for a family getaway. We had a wonderful time together with perfect indoor and outdoor spaces for all ages. The views are amazing and it is set in a peaceful and beautiful area. The barn is beautifully decorated and has everything you could possibly need. I am sure you will love it just like we did!

A lovely property and very comfortable for 10 people. Our 5 teenage grandsons loved the games room and this was one of the reasons for booking this property. The barn was very ell equipped. Very comfy beds and good bathroom facilities. It is a little out of the way - 45 mins to beach, but Tarka Trail can be accessed in Torrington 15 mins away.

This is a beautiful cottage and very comfortable for our group of 9. It's so well equipped and we loved the games room and swings in the garden.

Barn is roomy and beautifully calm making a relaxing stay for up to 12 guests. The games room is a perfect place to entertain all ages, we spent a lot of time here. Perfectly located in the countryside but near enough to both beaches and towns. Plenty of easy parking when you get there although the roads around are narrow and hilly.
