The details

Set within a peaceful cider orchard in a beautiful South Devon valley, Top Barn offers a truly idyllic countryside escape where life slows down from the moment you arrive. Surrounded by rolling meadows and woodland, this is a place for long mornings with coffee in the sunshine, afternoons spent exploring or unwinding, and cosy evenings by the fire.

Inside, the barn strikes a perfect balance between rustic character and modern comfort. The bright and airy living room is flooded with natural light thanks to floor to ceiling French windows, which open out onto a spacious patio. On cooler days, the woodburner crackles away, creating a wonderfully cosy atmosphere, while comfy seating invites you to settle in with a film or a good book.

The galley-style kitchen sits just off the living space and is fully equipped for easy self-catering, whether you’re whipping up a hearty breakfast or preparing a relaxed evening meal. Thoughtful touches like the Nespresso coffee machine and Smeg fridge/freezer make everything feel that little bit more indulgent, while your welcome hamper adds a delicious local flavour to your stay.

Upstairs, both bedrooms are light-filled and beautifully finished, with beamed and vaulted ceilings adding a sense of space and charm. Each bedroom has its own ensuite, offering privacy and comfort for couples or families. The primary bedroom is a real highlight, with its glass-fronted gable end framing stunning views across the orchard and valley beyond - the perfect scene to wake up to each morning.

Outside, life is all about making the most of the setting. Your private terrace with rattan furniture is ideal for alfresco dining or sunset drinks, while the wider grounds invite you to wander through the orchard, picnic under apple trees or relax by the stream. For something extra special, the indoor heated swimming pool, set within a beautiful oak-framed barn, offers year-round luxury, whether you’re swimming lengths or simply lounging on the decking with a view.

Perfectly positioned near Kingsbridge, Salcombe and Dartmouth, Top Barn is an excellent base for exploring the South Hams. Spend your days discovering sandy beaches like Bantham and South Milton, walking the South West Coast Path or venturing onto Dartmoor. With charming villages, fantastic eateries and endless outdoor adventures nearby, there’s something here for every kind of escape.
