Overview
Property code: OC-CRANSB

A handsome former barn, surrounded by picturesque countryside, this Exmoor National Park retreat is a walkers’ paradise. It is situated near Brendon, 4.5 miles from Lynton, in North Devon. The South West Coast Path is 2.5 miles away, via a riverside walk from the National Trust’s woodland beauty spot of Watersmeet. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom hideaway has a reverse-level design to maximise its scenic views. Visit Lynmouth, 5 miles away, to spend time at the charming harbour, browse in the shops and catch the Victorian, water-powered, funicular train to Lynton. Head to Blacklands Beach, 5.5 miles away, to paddle in the sea and potter in rock pools; Sillery Sands, 4 miles away, is more secluded but very beautiful.

Climb the external steps up to let yourselves into the barn at the first-floor level. The lounge/kitchen/diner is up here and with its beams, vaulted ceiling and wood burner, is a great place to unwind together after your daily excursions in Exmoor. Watch TV or a DVD, play on the PlayStation and take in the views out over the rolling countryside as the wood burner glows. Prepare hearty homecooked meals in the kitchen area. When it is time to lay your head on your pillow for the night, make your way down the internal stairs to the ground floor, where a king-size bedroom and a twin are located. Also down here is the family bathroom.

Soak up the serenity of this secluded setting out in the delightful garden, which has a large, decked area and a rough, sloping grassed area to the side.

My wife and I spent 5 nights (Mon-Fri) at this lovely converted barn on Exmoor. We stayed during late November, so we were treated to the beautiful autumnal colours of nature, although at this time of year the temperature does drop off considerably after sundown, however the property does have very good central heating and a fire if you choose to uRead morese it (which we didn't). The property is accessed by narrow lanes and the driveway to the main farmhouse, but the property is set up above the farmhouse, so you are not overlooked, although you can see the farmhouse a short distance away from the front of the property. The parking at the front has ample room to manoeuvre your car. (Room for 2/3 cars) Entry is at the rear of the property, which you need to ascend several steps to access (keeps you fit). And as for the property itself, the property is presented to a VERY HIGH standard, with furnishings and equipment top quality. Bathroom well equipped and with lashings of hot water for shower or bath (which is separate). Bedrooms are of good sizes (1double,1twin), suitable for family of four or two couples. Very quiet setting although you may just hear the gentle hum of the fridge/freezer. We ventured out to Taunton (1.1/4hr) good p/and ride, Ilfracombe 50 mins, Exeter (1.1/2hr)p/and ride, good for shopping. And the moor for the adventurous. But back to the property, quite simply put, a lovely, quiet, off the beaten track setting, where you can enjoy a few drinks and food and just chill out, not tied to any time restraints and just relax. Thanks to the owners for the welcome gifts. Much appreciated. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay which went by far to quick. Highly recommended. X. Hide

The perfect hideaway spot for walkers and nature lovers. I've known this property for over fifty years but this is the first time I have stayed here and it didn't disappoint.

The cottage was idyllic and was beautifully decorated, with everything a family could need. The beds were super comfy and there was a PS4 for the kids which was a bonus. We had a very peaceful week away in a stunning location. However, the only thing I would say is that the cottage is very remote with some steep and winding roads to get to it. I wiRead moresh I still had my 4 x4 as the roads are bad in places. Also, make sure you take plenty of food with you, as the nearest supermarket is miles away. We had lots of lovely day trips to Croyde, Barnstaple, Lynton & Lynmouth and Ifracombe, Hide
