Cosy barn for couples in peaceful rural surroundings near Bude coast

Enjoy this traditional, cosy stone one-bed barn conversion located in a quiet hamlet, surrounded by beautiful countryside, only nine miles from the seaside resort of Bude, and within easy reach of the coast.
It’s the perfect place to explore the beaches and attractions in unspoilt north Cornwall and Devon so you will need a car to get around. On the other hand you might prefer to relax in the Barn which provides all your home from home comforts: snooze in the sumptuous king size bed, catch-up on your favourite series with the 43” smart TV, tackle a jigsaw, or enjoy a BBQ listening to birdsong.
Although we’re no longer a working farm you can often see a local farmer’s attractive Stabiliser cattle grazing in our organic field, and we keep a flock of chickens. Depending on the time of year you might see geese or ducks rearing their young on our wildlife pond, long-eared bats catching insects at dusk, or our resident hedgehog late at night. We provide a bird guide to help you identify birds on the birdfeeders, including the Great Spotted Woodpecker, goldfinch, tits and chaffinches. Our black and white rescue cat, Bubble, keeps a watchful eye over the whole farm.
We welcome one well-behaved, adult, dog. There's a lovely private sunny seating area in front of the Barn; we ask dog owners to keep their dog on a lead because the area isn't fully enclosed. The area is very dog friendly, and you may find shopkeepers offering your pet a treat with every visit! Most pubs and restaurants welcome dogs and nearby Sandymouth beach allows dogs all year round.
We provide a wealth of information covering local attractions, our favourite walks set out on a local Ordnance Survey map, recommended places to eat, and tourist information covering Devon and Cornwall. Perennial favourites are Boscastle, Tintagel, Port Isaac, and Padstow in North Cornwall; and Hartland Quay, Clovelly, Westward Ho! and Appledore in North Devon, many of which are featured in the photos. An hour’s drive can take you to stunning Bodmin Moor, Dartmoor, or Exmoor, all fascinating ‘Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty’ (AONB). With our insider knowledge you can discover places that only the locals know about.
We love welcoming guests from all areas of the UK and the world, with the aim that that they return home with everlasting memories of their stay here.

Great location
I’ve stayed here many times and will come back. As I’ve said in past reviews this is a great place to stay . The barn is spotless and there is everything you need here . The weather hasn’t been kind during my stay but that aside I had a great two weeks here. It really is a good location. Riki is so helpful and friendly. I hope to come back on September and will definitely be here next February. Richard 😊

Due to personal circumstances we were unable to complete our trip. However we are so indebted to Riki for her kindness understanding and timely communication. It meant so much when we were going through tough times that she put herself out in such a selfless manner. I couldn’t recommend her enough. Such a breath of fresh air to find such a caring soul.

Lovely stay!
Rikey and Martin’s little haven was perfect. We stayed just three nights but was perfectly located for long walks along the beach with the dog, which he loved! Although small, the property was fitted out to a pretty high spec and very comfortable - just like home-from-home! The hosts were amazing and Rikey gave us lots of ideas of where to go during the day and where to eat if we wanted! They live behind the property but were not invasive at all! We would definitely stay here again. We can’t wait to go back!!

Had such an amazing week here Riki and Martin are such lovely hosts nothing was too much trouble know lots of knowledge about the surrounding area telling us the best places to visit. The barn is home from home everything you need for a pleasant stay. Bude was such a lovely little town to visit about a 20min drive from the barn so you do need a car if you stay here as there isnt a pub or shop in walking distance, if you are looking for a cosy retreat to recharge your batteries this is definitely the place to stay would well recommend it, would definitely visit again.

The pictures of the property on Vrbo do not do the place justice. Riki is the best host we’ve ever stayed with, she was always in hand if needed and kitted the place out for everything you could possibly need for your stay. The location is remote and perfect to wind down and relax. We ventured out daily with Bude and Sandymouth Beach only 15minutes away (great for the dog). Wonderful break - shame the sun didn’t make an appearance.

A calm and welcoming stay
Rikki and Martin have thought of everything you need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is well equipped, the furniture comfortable and parking is a breeze. The washer was a bonus. The property is located less than a kilometre from the A39, so you can head off to explore the region.
