A picturesque farm provides the backdrop for this charming two-bedroom cottage. Set on the outskirts of Umberleigh, this peaceful property gives families and couples the chance to embrace the fresh Devon air and explore some of the best beaches in the country. Wander along the golden sands of Saunton (15 miles) and Croyde (19 miles). Then return home and indulge your competitive side in the on-site games room. There's even room for two dogs to join the fun.

This converted barn is full of nods to Devon's rich rural heritage. Oak floors and beamed ceilings give that farm-inspired feel while warming sandy tones will remind you of days by the coast. Arranged over one floor, there's plenty of space to gather together. Enjoy breakfast around the four-seater dining table as you plan your next adventure. Then after a long day of seaside strolls, relax in the open-plan living area. It's the perfect place to curl up with a book and listen to the farm rolling on. Or step outside to the private patio and drink in the fabulous scenery while your four-legged friends frolic in the secure dog walking area.

Enjoy riverside strolls along the Taw directly from the farm. Explore the picturesque local woods or wander down to Chittlehamholt (5 miles) for a tasty pub lunch. Alternatively, take a day trip to Barnstaple (8 miles) and enjoy the popular Pannier Market. But no trip to Devon is complete without exploring the county's spectacular beaches. As well as Saunton and Croyde, North Devon boasts some lesser trodden gems. Pack a picnic and head to Wild Pear Beach (19 miles) for a true taste of paradise.
