The Tall Barn

About The Tall Barn Holiday Cottage

In an idyllic rural position within easy reach of thriving market towns and some of the country's most beautiful coastline these superbly modernised barn conversions enjoy an attractive courtyard setting and accommodation of a very high standard. Boasting warm and immaculately appointed interiors as well as shared grounds with a games room they provide a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Guests are welcome to collect eggs and pet the farm animals. Just 16 miles away the glorious north Devon coast invites exploration - from Bude to Ilfracombe is a spectacular sequence of towering cliffs and there are long wide stretches of sand where surfers ride the Atlantic rollers and the bucket and spaders dig merrily on. The heights of Hartland Point (325 ft) offer magnificent views and invigorating sea air and Hartland Quay and Clovelly - a peaceful Devon village where donkeys and sledges are the only traffic through quaint narrow streets - are a delight. To the south of Bude lie Widemouth Bay Boscastle and Tintagel. The whole coastline is a walkers' paradise whilst further afield visitors will find the granite plateau of Dartmoor and the infinite charms of Exmoor and the Eden project is about 11/2 hours' drive. There is sailing and wind surfing (courses available) on Roadford Lake (4 miles away) as well as fly fishing for brown trout and a perfect place for picnics. Golf riding and tennis are available locally. The market towns of Holsworthy Okehampton and Launceston offer good amenities and there is a shop/P.O. and pub serving food in Ashwater (11/2 miles).
