The Dairy Barn, Sutcombe welcomes you into an open-plan kitchen and dining area, where a well-equipped kitchen with electric oven, hob and Tassimo coffee machine makes cooking a pleasure. Enjoy meals together at the dining table, seating four, before stepping into the cosy sitting room next door. Here, relax on the three-seater sofa or armchair, warmed by the glow of the electric coal-effect fire, and settle in for an evening in front of the Smart television after a day spent exploring Devon and Cornwall's coastline.
Step outside through the stable door and climb the granite steps to the garden, a peaceful space where children can play safely while you soak up spectacular views across the valley. Two bedrooms await upstairs, both with characterful vaulted ceilings; the first offers a super-king bed (convertible to twins), the second a cosy double, ideal for family or friends. A fully refurbished shower room sits on the ground floor, with a further bathroom on the landing between the bedrooms. Off-road parking for three cars makes arrival effortless.
Picture evenings spent watching the sun dip behind the valley, sundowner in hand, the only sound the rustle of hedgerows and distant birdsong. Days here move at a gentler pace: fire up the barbecue, let the children play in the garden, then wander down the quiet Devonshire lane as dusk settles. Whether you're curled by the fire or lounging outside beneath the parasol, The Dairy Barn offers a true rural escape for making memories together.
