The nautical fishing village of Appledore, surf school beach Westward Ho, and port town of Bideford are only a 10 mile drive away.

The barn has been finished to a high standard and lovingly converted with an abundance of charm and beautiful tiled and wooden floors. Entering the property, you will appreciate its bright and airy atmosphere. The French doors make the most of the light, and offer guests direct access to the enclosed garden. There is a Smart TV and warming log burner for those cooler evenings. The well-equipped kitchen consists of an electric oven and hob, 2 fridges with ice compartments, washing machine, dishwasher and microwave.
