About this property
This stunning country escape for two, a barn conversion close to the coast in the pretty hamlet of Ford, makes the perfect romantic retreat for lovers of pretty walks, sandy beaches, and quaint Devon villages. It’s all on one level and has delightful interiors and a smart, secure patio with a luxurious wood-fired hot tub, and your canine companions are welcome here.
Original features have been effortlessly combined with contemporary furniture and styling throughout the sweet cottage to make a beautiful place to stay. Step inside the high-ceilinged bright and light open-plan living space where you’ll want to spend time cooking heart-warming meals in the stylish kitchen and enjoying them at the table for two. Relax on the comfy sofa and armchair in the lounge area with the TV on and the pups dozing at your feet, there’s also a handy utility room for doing your laundry. You can watch TV in bed in the gorgeous king-size bedroom before a great night’s sleep, wake up and have an invigorating shower in the en-suite shower room with a waterfall shower. Sit outside on balmy evenings with a cool drink or dine al fresco and watch the sunset, and for the ultimate in relaxation, laze in the hot tub under the stars.
Grab the leads and go out for walks from the door. Head to the South West Coast Path to explore the dramatic and beautiful coastline, pop to Westward Ho! (4 miles) and head to the 1.5-mile-long sandy beach for a walk, then go out for fish and chips in the village. For more places to eat out, visit the pretty fishing villages of Appledore (6 miles) and Clovelly (8 miles) with eateries for all tastes and a good choice of shops too.
