Holiday cottage in Weare Giffard (1.5mls NW), Devon

Accommodation details

Set within a 200-acre sheep farm in rural North Devon, the serenity of Netherdowns Shippon offers the perfect family escape. This charming barn conversion is surrounded by incredible views of lush farmland. Catch a glimpse of the river Torridge from the decked patio while you enjoy a relaxing al fresco dinner and take in the peace and tranquillity of this secluded, rural location. This bright and comfortable single-storey barn conversion is light and cosy throughout with a stunning open-plan lounge/diner at its centre.

Light floods in through large folding doors which lead you out onto a decked patio where you can enjoy the serene surroundings. Contemporary and stylish, the well-equipped kitchen has all you need to cook up a storm. The first of two warm and welcoming bedrooms is a double with an en-suite wet room and the second is a twin with the option to convert the small 2’6” beds into a spacious king.

There is also a family bathroom featuring a bath and handheld shower. The traditional Devon village of Weare Giffard is just a 2-mile walk away where you will find a friendly family-run pub and shop. 5 miles north of the property is the seaside village of Westward Ho! with its long stretch of sandy beach and famous pebble ridge.

The quaint fishing village of Clovelly can be found just 18 miles away – follow the magnificently steep cobbled streets down to the historic harbour which is still used today and watch the fishermen as they sail in and out.
