Four spacious and impressive bedrooms comfortably sleep eight guests and afford glorious views over the surrounding farmland. Step out of your front door and enjoy many of the walks with your beloved canine friends available from the farm. The pretty village of Payhembury is less than 1 mile away where you can enjoy a well-deserved pint in the local pub and pick up supplies for dinner from the community shop. Kids can play freely in the communal courtyard and shared play area whilst you put your feet up with a good book, unwind and take in the fresh Devon air.

This was an exceptionally high level of accommodation. The beds and sofas were really comfortable. The underfloor heating kept us at the perfect temperature and the quality conversion of the barn meant that the property was draft free. Such a bonus in a characterful old building.

Lovely accommodation in the middle of the countryside. The rooms are huge and this meant there was plenty of space for everyone to relax and the dogs still had room to stretch out without getting under our feet!
