This barn conversion is tucked away near the picturesque village of Burlescombe. Sitting within an International Dark Skies Reserve, you’ll be treated to starry skies on a clear evening – the bedroom even has a stargazing window so you can view the night sky from the comfort of the suspended bed. We love the characterful features here, like the hand-crafted sliding bedroom door and the oak breakfast bar. While the kitchenette is small, it’s got everything you need to whip up a light bite or snack, and for heartier meals, you’ll find a variety of cafes, pubs, and restaurants nearby. Location-wise, you’ve got the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and Tiverton with its canals and castle, within easy driving distance.

Home truths
One well-behaved dog is welcome to accompany you during your stay – breed restrictions apply, so please check with your host before your stay.
We think the small kitchenette is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There’s free off-street parking for one car here.

About Devon
With its vibrant cities, wild moors and picture-perfect beaches – we can see why so many poets and writers, such as Ted Hughes, Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle, have been inspired by its stunning landscapes. Chic waterside towns such as Salcombe and Dartmouth appeal to yachties, while Totnes attracts a more alternative crowd. Or head to Exeter with its cathedral and riverside bars and restaurants on the picturesque quay....
