WELCOME


Book a stay in our beautiful Old Barn, a spacious, self-catered, 2 bed cottage which once formed part of a traditional Devon longhouse. Experience a taste of life on our 4.5 acre smallholding in the beautiful West Devon countryside.


THE OLD BARN

As the building dates back to the 1700s, we have retained the lovely original features while renovating the cottage to be the ideal modern holiday home – including superfast fibre broadband connection.

During your stay, you will have access to our fields, woodland and firepit, as well as your own designated outdoor seating and BBQ area and you will no doubt become familiar with our host of animals - from our free ranging chickens and guinea fowl to our horse and our 2 pugs!

Situated on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Northlew (a short drive from the historic town of Okehampton and the A30) where you can quickly access the splendour of Dartmoor in one direction, and the dramatic beaches of North Devon and Cornwall in the other, you will be sure to find something to cater for everyone.

We wholeheartedly welcome families, well-supervised pets and a strong spirit of adventure!

If you have any requests, we encourage you to get in touch as we like to do our best to accommodate all needs.
