About this property

Lovingly converted 1st floor Victorian corn store near coast perfect for couples

We lovingly converted this first floor Victorian corn store in our courtyard into a luxurious one-bed apartment with a stylish and contemporary interior while retaining its character. Enjoy this stunning property located in a quiet hamlet, surrounded by beautiful countryside, near the seaside resort of Bude, and within easy reach of the coast. It’s the perfect place to explore the beaches and attractions in unspoilt north Cornwall and Devon. Treat yourself to breakfast on the balcony, enjoy the walk-in shower, curl up in front of the wood burner, or have a drink on the mezzanine looking out across rolling countryside.
This light and spacious one-bed apartment has been completed to a very high standard, offering guests a home from home experience. Its attractive Victorian stone exterior and spacious balcony give it pride of place in the courtyard, with parking directly outside. Guests need to be mobile enough to negotiate a steep flight of steps up to the front door, and will need a car to get around.
The interior is all about making our guests feel welcome and at home. The en-suite shower room has underfloor heating and a generous walk-in shower. The large open plan living area has a fully equipped fitted kitchen with dishwasher, and seating area with cosy wood-burning stove and 43” smart TV, with an oak staircase leading up to the mezzanine level with spectacular views. In addition, there’s a separate utility room close by with clothes washing facilities, and additional freezer space if you need it.
Although we’re no longer a working farm you can often see a local farmer’s attractive Stabiliser cattle grazing in our organic field, and we keep a flock of chickens. Depending on the time of year you might see geese or ducks rearing their young on our wildlife pond or long-eared bats catching insects at dusk, both visible from the mezzanine window. We provide binoculars to help you spot the birdlife, including the Great Spotted Woodpecker, goldfinch, tits and chaffinches on our birdfeeders. Our black and white rescue cat, Bubble, keeps a watchful eye over the whole farm.
We provide a wealth of information covering local attractions, our favourite walks set out on a local Ordnance Survey map, recommended places to eat, and tourist information covering Devon and Cornwall. Perennial favourites are Boscastle, Tintagel, Port Isaac, and Padstow in North Cornwall; and Hartland Quay, Clovelly, Westward Ho! and Appledore in North Devon, many of which are featured in the photos. An hour’s drive can take you to stunning Bodmin Moor, Dartmoor, or Exmoor, all fascinating ‘Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty’ (AONB). With our insider knowledge you can discover places that only the locals know about.
We love welcoming guests from all areas of the UK and the world, with the aim that that they return home with everlasting memories of their stay here.

Cosy home from home
Greatly enjoyed my stay The Corn Store. The apartment was spotless and every small detail had been thought of; it was incredibly cosy and comfortable. The beautiful views and log fire were such a treat. Riki was amazing and had provided so much detailed information on the area. I essentially worked my way through a list of her recommendations and had great fun exploring nearby towns and coastal walks. The Corn Store was also the perfect place for a solo getaway, to get some peace and quiet to relax, and to get some writing done. I would highly recommend and will visit again!

About the host

Hosted by Riki Riley

Host profile image
When we unexpectedly found ourselves without jobs after many years of commuting to London we decided to do something completely different - a real lifestyle change. So we bought our dream property in North Cornwall and haven't looked back. Our 5 children are independent; one lives locally with his family, and the remainder still live in SW London. Between us we are proud grandparents to 11 grandchildren. We have Bubble, surviving brother to Squeak, who we rescued from Cats Protection in 2015. Martin has nurtured a flock of chickens - all different breeds - and built a magnificent 'chicken hotel'. We're both keen photographers and walkers - both of which go very much hand-in-hand here. We both worked in London for many years, and met whilst working for a global publishing company. Riki worked locally as a care worker for 4 years, whilst Martin volunteered as a watch keeper at the National Coast Watch Institute at Boscastle. Our aim is that guests thoroughly enjoy the Barn, its location, and the surrounding area.

Why they chose this property

We knew instantly that this was the home for us - it's a truly magical, undiscovered spot. It offers the best of everything -we're in a quiet rural hamlet and yet you can get to the Atlantic Highway (A39) quickly, which links North Devon to South Cornwall. So we're easy to find. Woolley is a very friendly community and made us feel very welcome from the start. Creating this conversion has been a labour of love and we're very proud of the result. It complements our courtyard.
We have worked tirelessly to improve the fabric of our farmhouse and all its buildings - a bit like painting the Forth Bridge .... but I'm sure we'll get there in the end!

What makes this property unique

You can park outside the Corn Store, and enjoy breakfast on the balcony in the morning sun. Or chill out on the indoor mezzanine and admire the wonderful views of the valley. Or curl up in front of the TV and woodburner watching a DVD.
Indulge yourself with the walk-in shower and underfloor heating. Have fun creating moods with the lighting.
Don't worry about how much luggage you bring - there's plenty of storage in the shower room, kitchen area, and cupboard space under the mezzanine.
