Waterloo Courtyard Haypole Barn

Guests immediately feel at home in this barn conversion bursting with rustic charm and set in a most peaceful and beautiful river valley. The farm is a wonderful central location for visiting all of Cornwall and Devon, within very easy reach of all the beaches and rugged cliffs of the North Cornwall Coast and equally close to the wild moorlands of both counties. Many all-year-round attractions are within easy travelling distance, including The Eden Project, Plymouth Aquarium, and King Arthur's Castle at Tintagel.

Alongside the farm’s own cattle and sheep, a wildlife hide has been built overlooking the River Ottery for quiet viewing, and webcams are set up to capture the wildlife around the farm, which can be viewed on the cottage TV. There is lots to do on the farm: acres of lush Cornish countryside to explore, plus 2 miles of riverside walks. Try river fishing (both fly and coarse. Enjoy the heated outdoor swimming pool (May - end September) or Classic British Motorcycle Collection and Experience an Ariel, BSA or Triumph (please contact owners for details). Meet the farm animals, there may be calves and lambs to feed or eggs to collect, depending on the time of year.

Stepping inside you will find yourself in the open-plan living space, surrounded by unique features such as a minstrels gallery, stained glass windows, old farm wagon wheel light and the original farm hay pole for decoration. This space offers a huge antique farmhouse dining table that’s perfect for family get-togethers, and the lounge area incorporates a wood effect gas fire and a Smart TV. The kitchen is well equipped with gas hob and Rayburn, microwave, American-style fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine - there is also a shared laundry room available on site. From here, two sets of patio doors open onto a sunny and secluded walled patio garden with seating and BBQ. Also on the ground floor you will find the twin bedroom with en-suite shower room. Heading upstairs, the charm continues. There are two king-size bedrooms, both with en-suite shower rooms, 1 bunk bedroom and a family bathroom.
