UK Holiday Cottages

The Byre and The Linhay are adjoining barns set in the delightful grounds of Higher Ash Farm (and owner's nearby farmhouse), just two miles from the famous naval town of Dartmouth, and a 10 minute drive along the coast road to Blackpool Sands beach. The farm (with cows, sheep and chickens) produces a wide range of fruit and vegetables for sale when in season to guests, and fresh eggs are available most of the year.

The Byre

A spacious and well-presented barn conversion with lovely views across neighbouring gardens, orchard and rolling fields. The barn retains many character features including original cross beams and a delightful stone fireplace and is ideally suited to families with younger children or perhaps couples looking for a quieter location within easy reach of Dartmouth and the surrounding area.

Whilst The Byre and adjoining barn, The Linhay are individual properties with private access and accommodation they also offer opportunities for two families seeking adjacent properties of an equivalent, high standard.

LOCATION The barn is one of a pair in the grounds of Higher Ash Farm just two miles from the famous naval town of Dartmouth.  The barns (and adjacent owner's farmhouse) sit within 50 acres of delightful grounds including extensive areas of lawned garden, well-stocked orchard and working farmland (with cows, sheep and chickens) - N.B. There is one small pond within the grounds and we recommend that your children should be supervised.  The farm produces a wide range of fruit and vegetables for sale to guests when in season, and fresh eggs are available most of the year!  The village of Stoke Fleming (with pub and shop/Post office) is 30 minutes walk away, with Blackpool Sands beach just a 10 minute drive along the coast road.

VIEWS Lovely views from most rooms (and terrace) across the farmhouse garden, orchard and country fields beyond.
