​​Three 16th century cottages all full of character and lots of quirky features.  The best of both worlds;  private and cosy, yet with the added bonus of a games room, trampolines and lots more.   You can explore the fields, paddle in the streams, toast marshmallows in the fire pit and meet the animals.
"This place is truly beautiful and absolutely perfect for families with children. The property is a haven for kids to explore and the games room is a fantastic added extra. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to explore this part of Devon."

"What a wonderful spot! Owl barn had everything we needed, plus lots of great toys that our 4yr old loved. The outside space is so beautiful, the trampolines and animals were a bonus. The location was idyllic, incredible view, wonderful for star gazing, close to so many beautiful beaches. We really hope to come back again. Thanks Alex"
