About this property

Multi Award Winning Honeysuckle Barn, Torquay, Dogs Welcome. Allocated Parking

Set in its own conservation area in Barton, one of the historic villages that make up the popular seaside town of Torquay, South Devon; Honeysuckle is a beautiful Barn lovingly restored, with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, tucked away behind the 15th Century Devon longhouse, 'The Old Manor Farmhouse'

Together with Sweet Rose (1 bedroom cottage) and Threshing Barn (4 bedrooms), the 3 properties form ’Pilgrims Rest Cottages’; multi-award-winning, including ‘Most Pet Friendly’, that have been welcoming guests since 2009.

With countryside to the north, the coast to the east and all that Torquay, The English Riviera, and its nearby surrounds have to offer, historical guests have found it to be an ideal location for their stay – with the local shops, a stroll away, an added bonus. Martin and Kim (the owners) personal information folders, revealing countless gems in the area (walks, eateries, pubs, attractions, beaches…), enhance guests’ stays further.

Honeysuckle is a gem of a barn. Comfortably sleeping up to 4 guests plus infants, it makes an ideal base for families, couples, or friends looking to explore the English Riviera. With access to the shared courtyard and old walled orchard garden, this secure outdoor space also makes Honeysuckle the perfect choice for those who wish to bring their four-legged friends along. The same style and comfort that runs throughout this lovely collection of properties can be seen in Honeysuckle, and on the first floor you will find two beautiful double bedrooms which can be configured as super king beds or separated to twins based on your preferences. Beautiful furnishings and oak beams, and a bathroom. The stunning open plan lounge, dining room and fully equipped kitchen are found downstairs.

Parking and Property
From your allocated, off lane, parking for 1 car (with extra parking available on the lane alongside Pilgrims Rest), you will walk down a path through two white picket gates into the barns’ courtyard with white bistro tables and chairs, and ornate plant pots. Honeysuckle’s entrance is directly opposite the last gate you walk through.

Upon entering the property, you will be met with a cosy open plan lounge / dining room and kitchen; all decorated in warm colours, exposed beams, and oak pillars.

Up a set of historical, newel, spiral stairs, you will discover 2 well-appointed bedrooms and a family bathroom set into the exposed beams of this converted barn.

Amazing
My sisters travelled to Torquay from all over the world to meet after not seeing each other for a few years and they couldn’t have asked for better accommodation! It was clean, well equipped and beautiful in every way - it really made their holiday.

Pleasant stay
Very pleasant well kept garden . The property was as described. Spiral staircase is narrow and not suitable for elderly people . However there are safety gates at the top and bottom for children under supervision. The host Martin was very kind and welcoming and pets even get their own welcome letter and treats . Very pleasant stay all round . The frying pan needs to be replaced and additional bowls would be welcome .

Host profile image
We are Saltwater Escapes, a family run business offering beautiful holiday cottages and apartments across South Devon. We love that Saltwater Escapes' properties have become a home from home for many of our customers who have stayed with us year after year and are making traditions of their own and memories to treasure.

We love partnering with holiday owners in this hidden gem of the UK. Pilgrims Rest Cottages is a fantastic example of this. Proud owners Martin and Kim restored the cottages and have been welcoming guests since 2009. Since then they've picked up multiple awards but still have the same passion and drive to deliver an exceptional guest experience. We are delighted to bring these 3 fabulous cottages to VRBO and add them to the Saltwater Escapes collection.

What makes this property unique

Rated by English Heritage of National Importance, these cottages are the only ones of their type found within Torquay. Dating back to the 15th century with links to the Spanish Armada and the Prince of Orange, now loving restored with historical roots but filled with modern day luxuries. To stay in such a place, yet have access to excellent local shops within a stroll, beaches, countryside and all that Torquay and surrounding villages offer, is brilliant.
