Property code: HARRI

This property enjoys a quiet farmland location, within walking distance of village amenities, which include a village shop and a welcoming pub, perfect for a stroll out for lunch, or an enjoyable afternoon pint. Just 9 miles south of the property, the seaside town of Sidmouth offers two sandy beaches, stunning coastal walks, a range of shops and restaurants, and even a donkey sanctuary. Further around the coast, the resorts of the English Riviera are not to be missed, with their warm micro climate, beach front attractions, and pretty gardens. Paignton Zoo is also within an easy drive, as is Crealy Adventure Park and the market town of Honiton, famed for its lace and pottery production and home to a large array of antiques shops, making it the perfect place to spend an afternoon pottering around.

This property has been lovingly restored with original features, making it a memorable place for a holiday with family or friends. On the ground floor, the spacious lounge area has a large inglenook fireplace as its focal point, which now houses a woodburner, ensuring that the room stays lovely and cosy, even in the coolest of months. There are comfortable sofas from which guests are able to enjoy the Smart TV and DVD player, or perhaps just relax with a drink at the end of the day. The kitchen/diner is an attractive room, with an original ornamental Victorian fireplace, as well as dining table and a window seat. Guests will find everything they need here to make themselves feel at home, including an oven and hob, microwave, fridge, and dishwasher, whilst a second fridge, a freezer and washing machine can all be found in the separate utility room. There is also a convenient ground floor cloakroom with WC. On the first floor of the property, there are three bedrooms. The first of these is a large family room, within which there is a king-size bed, a single bed, and a cot, as well as a Smart TV; great for occupying the children whilst adults catch a few extra minutes’ sleep! Further to this room, there is 1 king-size and 1 twin room, one of which also has a TV. The bathroom, which is also located on the first floor, has a bath with shower attachment and WC.

Outside, the property has a lovely enclosed garden, with spacious lawns, seating, and a BBQ. The property’s hot tub is situated in its own building and has a changing space and shower.  A barn adjoining the property also houses the indoor heated pool (open from Easter to end October), as well as the sauna. Two more adjoining barns have been made into games rooms, offering a pool table, table tennis, a Wendy house, and a range of toys - there really is something for everyone here. The farm itself occupies 120 acres of land.

There was ample space in the bedrooms, plenty of space to chill and play. Myself and a few friends stayed here to celebrate my 40th and we did just that. There was so much for us to do, everyone we met was approachable and friendly. We would definitely go back again.

We throughly enjoyed our stay. Spacious rooms, comfy beds. The pool although small was well used by my grandchildren. Hot tub, pool table and table tennis gave us hours of fun. Lovely village, good friendly pub, which allowed dogs. Very well placed, lots of places to visit within half hour away. A wonderful holiday.
