This stunning cottage is presented to a high standard, and has fabulous views of the Devon countryside around the farm, where there are ponies and a well-stocked fishing lake.
This barn conversion with good views gets plenty of repeat bookings. Room for 6 plus a baby.

Bed linen is included in the price but towels are extra. Some electricity (90 units) is included in the rental then charged.
