    “What fantastic accommodation, we can't speak highly enough of it.”

    Simon the owner was very friendly, checking to make sure we had everything we needed. A lot of care & attention has been given to every room. Very clean & comfortable, all immaculately furnished and the kitchen has everything you could want. I'm certainly going to miss cooking in it! Infact, I've taken home some furnishing ideas! It was great that the door in was downstairs & so muddy boots & rucksacks could be left there. Loved the fact there was also a utility room containing freezer & ...

    Simon the owner was very friendly, checking to make sure we had everything we needed. A lot of care & attention has been given to every room. Very clean & comfortable, all immaculately furnished and the kitchen has everything you could want. I'm certainly going to miss cooking in it! Infact, I've taken home some furnishing ideas! It was great that the door in was downstairs & so muddy boots & rucksacks could be left there. Loved the fact there was also a utility room containing freezer & clothes washing facilities with washing liquid etc for our use, a lovely touch. Lovely walks are from the doorstep and places such as Canonteign Falls & Castle Drogo, both a must visit, a short drive away. Overall, this has to be the best accommodation we have had in the many years we have used Sykes & would definitely recommend.

The property

Moretonhampstead 4.3 miles.

Situated within the Dartmoor National Park, on a working farm just outside Bridford, Devon is The Coach House at Thorn Farm.

This stylish stable conversion is ideal for a small family or two couples and is home to a wealth of quality and character features, including exposed stone walls and beams, a staircase crafted from ash, reclaimed from the farm, and all the home comforts you need for a self-catering stay.

Private driveway parking greets you on arrival, before making your way into the ground-floor space, which hosts a handy utility area to keep your clothes refreshed.

From here, climb the stairs to the open-plan living space, sure to be the social hub during your stay.

The kitchen has all you need to enjoy memorable suppers, while the open plan dining space welcomes you to prepare your meals with conversation flowing.

Unwind in the sitting area with a film on the Smart TV, or perhaps just enjoy each other's company with a board game and glass of wine.

As you grow tired, refresh before bed in the en-suites; the double room has a shower room, while the master king-size plays host to a freestanding bath for a much-needed soak after a busy day of exploring.

An external door leading to the garden is a feature of both bedrooms; take care descending the stone steps that lead down to the outdoor dining area and bask in the sun, or venture off to explore the charming paddocks and working-farm grounds.

When you're ready to explore beyond the idyllic grounds, you can find an abundance of walking and cycling routes in the area, with the nearest point of interest being Heltor Rock, where picture-perfect views of the national park can be seen.

The village centre of Bridford is also nearby with its Inn and Woodland Park.

Should you wish to dine out or stock up on the essentials, make your way into Moretonhampstead via the pretty country lanes: a charming town on the northern edge of Dartmoor National Park with a handful of independent shops and eateries.

For a day exploring the area's waterfalls, find Becky Falls Ancient Woodland Park and Canonteign Falls within reach by car, a perfect day out with a picnic.

If the city is more your style, you can spend a day shopping in Exeter, while if you want some seaside fun, travel a little further to the Exmouth coast.

For a gorgeous holiday home in a scenic area, choose The Coach House at Thorn Farm.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.
