Description

Old Highwood Barns is a charming countryside retreat set amid the rolling landscapes of the Blackdown Hills in East Devon.

Ideal for families or small groups, this thoughtfully restored cottage sleeps up to five guests and offers a tranquil setting surrounded by fields, woodland, and open skies.

Inside, you’ll find a bright, welcoming living space that blends character with comfort.

The kitchen is fully equipped for easy self-catering, including an oven, hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, kettle, toaster, and coffee maker, while the dining area provides the perfect spot for leisurely breakfasts or relaxed evening meals.

After a day exploring, unwind in the living area, where a TV and internet access make for easy entertainment.

The property features three well-appointed bedrooms: a king-size, a flexible zip/link king-size that can be arranged as twins, and a single.

Each room comes with fresh linen and thoughtful touches to help you settle in.

The family bathroom includes a walk-in shower, basin, and WC, complemented by a convenient ground-floor cloakroom.

Central heating ensures warmth during cooler months, and a travel cot and highchair are available for those with little ones.

Step outside to an enclosed decked area complete with a bubbling hot tub, perfect for relaxing under the open sky after a countryside walk.

Outdoor furniture and a barbecue make al fresco dining easy, and off-road parking adds convenience.

The local area offers plenty to enjoy: Honiton is close by for shops and eateries, while Exeter provides history, culture, and vibrant city life.

The Jurassic Coast is ideal for a day trip, and nearby attractions such as Yarak Birds of Prey, Diggerland, and The Bear Trail promise fun for all ages.

With its scenic setting and welcoming atmosphere, Old Highwood Barns is an excellent base for discovering the beauty of East Devon.

What guests are saying

We had a really nice 4 night stay with our kids (14yrs & 12Yrs).

The cottage was really clean, comfortable and peaceful. We particularly loved the open plan living area as there was ample room for us be together and the pool table was a great source of entertainment for us. The location was great for trips to Sidmouth and Lyme Regis, and there's a convenient Tescos at Honiton for supplies. I would definitely stay here again.
