Impeccable styling and an idyllic location make this converted farm building a fine choice for a party of four and one well-heeled pup. Enjoy walks through the surrounding countryside to stunning Lee Bay, then chill-out in the hot tub on your sun-trap patio. Inside, there’s a fabulous open-plan living space and two blissful bedrooms – the master featuring a dreamy roll-top bath for the ultimate indulgence.
One of a small cluster of former farm buildings, this high-end holiday home is located at the end of a quiet country lane close to the wooded-valley village of Lee. Semi-detached, it extends a warm welcome from the outset – deposit outdoor gear and doggie paraphernalia in the lobby then step straight into a fabulous open-plan living area that will be the hub of your holiday. Stretch out on the plush sofa to watch TV and your pet can snooze before the wood burner-effect electric fire; when you’re peckish, the chic kitchen area is only a few pawprints away and – complemented by an adjacent utility cupboard – has all the essentials of home. Leave Rover resting and relocate to the dining suite when supper is served – the view from the window will whet your appetite for a post-prandial walk. Once your day is done, settle your four-pawed pal then retire to the first floor, where two beautiful bedrooms beckon. The first is an impressive king-size with its own TV and in-room roll-top bath. Next door, the second bedroom offers a king-size zip-and-link bed which can be presented as twins upon request. Completing the comfort is a stylish shower room. Outdoors, your holiday highlights include an enclosed, suntrap patio garden with a hot tub, furniture and BBQ – the perfect place for laid-back down-time. A shared lawn area has swings for the children to play on – if you’d like to holiday with a larger party, the neighbouring property can be booked to accommodate a further six people and one pet; please ask for details.
Enjoy gentle strolls to see the farm animals that are all around, or sniff out the trails that lead across the surrounding countryside to Lee, a small village between Woolacombe (3.5 miles) and Ilfracombe (4.5 miles). Lee sits within a deep, wooded combe known locally as Fuchsia Valley and is home to a scattering of old stone cottages, a neo-Gothic parish church, craft gallery and friendly pub. Further on, the craggy cove has rockpools and stretches of sand; follow the South West Coast Path westward from here and a rollercoaster-like route leads to the lighthouse at Bull Point.
