About this property
Billy Goldsworthy's Barn
Lose yourself in the charm of this beautiful barn. Detailed in history as the setting from which Henry Williamson created the famous 'Tarka the Otter' Novel. This unique romantic getaway is tucked away in the heart of this picture postcard village nestled between Woolacombe and Croyde.
Unique blends of idyllic setting, secluded sun-trap patio and attractive layout with feature galleried style bedroom create an unforgettable setting to create your own holiday story.
Out and About...
Immerse yourself in the true charm of this beautiful village from the minute you step foot out the door, from character cottages to the charming church, village stores to the local restaurants offer a superb standard of food, all within two minutes' walk of your cottage. Set centrally between Woolacombe, Putsborough and Croyde and within easy reach of Saunton, you are spoilt with choices of award winning beaches within 5-10 minutes' drive.
Step Inside...
The unique character of this cottage captures you from the second you arrive with an inviting entrance leading to the open plan living area oozing with unique style. The feature spacious galleried style bedroom immediately catches your eye set above the well-equipped open plan kitchen, lounge and dining area.
