To our historic Grade II* Listed 16th century thatched, self-catering 1 bedroom barn conversion (sleeps up to 2) on our small Devon farm, peacefully located between Dartmoor & the north Cornwall coast. Ideally located and a great base to explore the West Country. Only 30 mins approx from North Cornwall coast & Dartmoor. Beams, wood-burning stove, flagstone floors. Starry skies. Sorry, no pets, no smoking. 3 nights min stay (7 nights in peak season). Electric Car Charging point.

The space

The 1 bedroom accommodation is single storey (ground floor) and has been brand newly refurbished and furnished (2021) and entirely designed with visitor comfort and convenience in mind. Forming part of an ancient building, all modern comforts are provided and the barn is furnished in a contemporary style. Outside, The Threshing Barn at Hole has its own private paved patio with table and chairs, sun-chairs and a Weber gas bbq, and guests are very welcome to explore the 48 acre farm which has stunning views over towards Dartmoor. Donkeys, goat, cow, sheep, chickens, duck and George the goose all ready to greet you. Lovely freshly laid eggs every morning (hopefully!).

Accommodation:
A step up from the patio leads into the open plan sitting/dining room/kitchen with vaulted ceiling and beams and woodburning stove. Internet ready TV. The kitchen includes a large range of storage units, which are made from English Oak, with granite worktops, a butler's sink, an Electrolux double electric oven with induction hob, and a Bosch dishwasher and fridge with freezer compartment. The farm's laundry room/boot room is housed in one of our ancient cruck-framed cart sheds just a short distance away, and there you will find the washing machine and space for bicycles, muddy boots, wet jackets etc.

The bedroom with high vaulted ceiling includes a 6ft super king size bed, (actually twin zip and link beds for flexibility) and lastly there is a luxurious bathroom with a mozaic tiled floor, his and her basins, wc, shower and bath. The bedroom also has a TV.
There is underfloor heating throughout with individual digital room controls. This gives warmth without the hot and cold spots from classic radiator central heating, and is understood to be healthier for the occupants. The whole building has a structured cabling system providing voice and data with wireless internet access - (please see our internet usage Terms & Conditions).
All linen and towels are provided, as are an iron and ironing board, hair dryer and logs for the wood burning stove.
All heating and electricity is included in the price.
Visitors are please requested not to smoke in The Threshing Barn at Hole, and pets are unfortunately not allowed as we have so many here to welcome you!
