452 The in Devon. Book This Hot Tub Cottage For Less

About 452 The

This delightful, detached barn conversion is set within a working farm which has 200 acres of organic farmland, making this a lovely getaway from the hustle and bustle of life in the middle of Devon. Staying on this beautiful farm will make you feel like the rest of the world is thousands of miles away.

Watch life on the farm and meet some of the resident animals, or just a five minute drive down the road is the pretty village of Iddesleigh where you can dine in an award winning pub, The Duke of York, and visit the area that inspired Michael Morpurgo’s War Horse. Or if you feel the need to venture further afield from the farm, both Dartmoor and Exmoor are easily accessible, as well as beaches such as Westward Ho!, Instow, Lynton, Lynmouth, Bude and Widemouth.

Other nearby attractions include RHS Rosemoor, Woolly Animals and Stafford Moor Fishery. Cyclists and walkers are also well catered for in this area, and the popular Tarka Trail is close by.

Stepping inside through the arched doorway leads into the entrance hallway. From here a door leads into the lounge/dining room which features original stonework and beams.

The lounge area has a Smart TV and Blu-ray DVD player, as well as French doors leading out to the enclosed garden. There is ample space around the dining table to enjoy leisurely meals.

The dining area leads through to the kitchen which is well equipped with an electric oven and hob, microwave, two fridges, countertop freezer, dishwasher and a washer/dryer. Heading upstairs there are three bedrooms - one king-size bedroom with a TV and en-suite shower room, one super-king-size bedroom which can be changed into a twin (on request at the time of the booking) which also has a TV, and one bunk bedroom.

Emily

We had a really lovely time! Shirley and Mike are such warm hosts, making us feel right at home from the start. Our kids, aged 4 and 8, were thrilled to get involved in feeding the lambs and loved exploring the farm animals and play area. The hot tub was a real treat after long days out. The barn had everything we neededand the peaceful rural setting was perfect for relaxing. Plus, plenty of beaches were within an hour's drive, which was great. Thanks for a wonderful stay-we'll definitely be coming back!

Emma

The cottage was super comfy and felt really homely, with all the essentials. The owners were lovely, leaving us a lovely welcome basket. We enjoyed meeting the dogs and chickens too. Honestly, we wish we'd stayed longer-next time, definitely more nights!

Emma Parker

We stayed here in October and honestly, it was such a lovely experience. The barn felt super cosy and spotless, with everything we needed for a comfortable break. The hot tub was ready when we arrived, which was perfect after a long journey. Shirley greeted us warmly and made us feel right at home, plus the homemade scones in the welcome pack were a lovely surprise. Our kids loved feeding the farm animals with Mike, who was fantastic. Just a heads up-if you're exploring around the area, be prepared for some small farm roads! Would definitely recommend.

Charlotte

We had such a lovely stay here! The peaceful vibe really helped us unwindand by the end of the week, we felt so much more relaxed. Our little one adored the play area and feeding the farm animals - she was thrilled! The hot tub was perfect for the grown-ups to kick back after busy days. The accommodation was spot on, super comfyand well stocked. Listening to the sheep, ducksand birds every morning was such a treat. The hosts and their adorable dogs were really welcoming too. We'd definitely love to come back!

Mellie

We had a lovely week at this charming barn conversion, tucked away in a really rural spot. Narrow roads lined with tall hedges lead you right to the farm, where Mike and Shirley give you such a warm welcome. The barn is well equipped and has everything you could possibly need, truly feels like homeand we absolutely loved it! It's a working farm, but it wasn't noisy at alland waking up to see the sheep in the orchard was just beautiful. After our busy days, we enjoyed sitting in the hot tub at night, gazing at the stars - perfect!

Rosey

A lovely rural barn conversion that we discovered after driving down some tiny lanes in Devon. This charming old building offers a really comfy holiday retreat. You're surrounded by the sounds of the countryside - cows mooing, sheep bleatingand cockerels crowing (not so fun at 4 in the morning!!), plus the chatter of various little birds. Mike and Shirley are the most kind hosts, always up for a chat about the farm and eager to show you some of the animals. Our grandson says he'll miss Apollo and Annie, the ponies!

Avie

We spent some time at this lovely barn with our daughter and the two little grandkids. It was just right, safe for them to roam around both inside and outsideand super comfy! Waking up to nothing but the sounds of animals and birds was wonderfuland the hot tub was the perfect way to unwind after some busy days out. The location is quite rural, which we adore, yet you can easily reach most attractions, the moorland or the coast in less than an hour. Shirley, Mike Cox and family, along with the locals, were all so welcoming and helpful. We highly recommend it!

Rachael

This place feels like the most wonderful home from home! We're definitely going to return. It was so educational for both the kids and us adults to see how a working farm operates. Shirley and Mike are just so welcomingand those fresh scones were absolutely delicious. The house is so well equipped that it really has everything you could think of! We're quite sad to be back home and honestly wish we had booked for longer.

We had a lovely week at the 1450 Barn in late May with our two kids, aged 3 and a pre-toddler. The location is such a nice working farmand the host family is so welcoming and friendly. It really felt like a peaceful oasis among all the farm activity. The enclosed garden is perfect for the kidsand the hot tub is just so relaxing. The acommodation had everything we needed for our family. There are amazing beaches and fun outings all within a 30 to 60-minute drive. We're already looking forward to our next visit!

What a perfect getaway for a bit of peace and tranquillity in the countryside! The Cox family were fantastic hosts, offering such warm hospitality. This barn was lovely, cosyand really well-equipped. We enjoyed seeing all the farm animals too. The kids had a wonderful time here!

Jonny

What a fantastic spot! We felt so welcomed by the owners right from the start. The location is just perfect for exploring Dartmoor and both coasts, north and south. Just brilliant!

Vivi

What a lovely cosy place to stay! The cottage was immaculate and super comfortable. The owners were really welcoming and had left us a cream tea along with other goodies. Millie the dog was a delightful daily visitor. The weather was a bit variable but that didn't spoil our enjoyment at alland we even managed a couple of dips in the hot tub. We'd definitely suggest the Duke of York and the New Inn for a good meal out. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this cottage and look forward to returning one day.
