Orchard Barn

We offer a newly-modernised, self-catering holiday cottage sleeping 2-6 guests (plus sofa beds for a further 2 guests). Woodhayes Farm is tucked away up a private drive, the farm offers beautiful walks from your doorstep into the surrounding fields, 150 acres of ancient woodland and parkland, the River Lupp and the spectacular views from Dumpdon Iron Age Hill Fort and a 10 acre nature reserve owned and run by the Devon Wildlife Trust. A great choice for couples, friends and families seeking a relaxing rural hideaway with easy access to the nearby coast.

Furnished to a high standard, Orchard Barn is graded 4 Star by VisitEngland. The Grade II listed flint stone barn was carefully converted in 2012 to balance period features with 21st century convenience.
