In amongst a very pleasant complex of properties just 7 miles outside of the quiet town of Great Torrington is where you’ll find this charming barn conversion. Sleeping three guests, with an option to bring your dog too, this property has plenty of space for everyone to feel right at home. Hop into the eco wood-fired hot tub for an evening of bubbles and bubbly whilst your pooch relaxes in the enclosed patio area. Surrounded by countryside this property offers a great setting for woodland walks, as well as day trips to nearby stick-throwing destinations including; Rolle Road riverside trail in Torrington, Westward Ho! Beach (16 miles) and Hartland Point.

Beautiful features including exposed stone walls and wooden beamed ceilings make this property one to remember. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is the hub of the house, bursting with natural light from well-placed windows and a patio door leading outside. Rustle up a romantic meal in the contemporary kitchen area, or simply grab some snacks and retreat to the comfortable sofa for an evening in front of the TV/DVD. The charcoal BBQ makes al fresco dining a must on sunny evenings, finished off with a dip in the hot tub. Upstairs, the gorgeous freestanding bath in the en-suite is the perfect way to start or end your day of adventures.

Complete with shops, pubs, and plenty of walking routes, including the famous Tarka Trail, Great Torrington offers everything you’d need for a comfortable stay. Visit the market town of Bideford (13.5 miles) for a day wandering the shops or the pannier market, followed by a meal in its choice of restaurants. For something a little different the cobbled, car-free streets of Clovelly (19 miles) are a must. Meet the resident donkeys as you make your way to the harbour, taking in the gorgeous views along the way.

Such a cosy and comfortable stay, we had a great time. The cottage had everything we needed and was very clean. Making the fire for the hot tub took a little getting used to but it was the perfect addition once wed got it right. Very friendly owners too!

A superb little cottage, beautifully decorated. Big comfy bed with fully equipped kitchen. This place is so peaceful. Our dog love sniffing around the fully enclosed garden and we have a total peace of mind while she wanders around the garden, knowing that shes always safe within the confine of the wooden perimeter fencing.

What a lovely cottage. Perfect stay for us. Really well equipped and comfortable, with lots of little nice touches such as cream tea on arrival, bath bomb. The highlight is of course the wood fired hot tub.

Well, what can we say? This has by far been the most relaxing holiday we've ever had. It's been like a little retreat. It was just what we needed.

Fantastic stay at the Hayloft, Faultless accomodation and location. The owners have thought of everything and added lots of great little touches as mentioned by other reviewers. If you need a relaxing, peaceful break (for you and your dog!) then we cant think of anywhere better.

We could not have asked for any more with regards to comfort and cleanliness. The best mattress ever, we slept better than in our own bed. Lovely garden and outdoor seating. Indoors very stylish and quirky, loved the cottage so much. Thank you to the owners for their commitment to the business. 10 out of 10

Amazing cottage, very warm and welcoming! Cream tea on arrival was such a lovely touch! I enjoyed a lovely birthday weekend here. The only thing I would ask for or change next time if we came would be to have a hoover or dust pan or brush as the cottage got a bit mucky with us going in and out.

Lovely cottage, so cosy and felt like a home from home. The hot tub and bath were great after a long day. There is 3 cottages in a row so we were worried that all the hot tubs would be overlooked by the others but the gardens felt completely private.

Lovely peaceful location where the only sounds are that of singing birds and braying donkeys and the occasional tractor. Accommodation spotlessly clean and very warm welcome from Julie. Hot tub after a day out was amazing and helped the aches. This was our second first and have already booked the third for 2023. Owners have it spot on.
