Nestled within the glorious North Devon countryside, yet just one mile from the breath-taking coastal path and many stunning beaches, The Threshing Barn (ref UK36806) and The Shippen (ref UKC2740) are the perfect choice for a family or friends holiday whether you’re seeking a relaxing, tranquil getaway with excellent stargazing in truly dark skies or a base for more active pursuits any time of year. Just a short drive from the secluded, dog friendly sand and shingle beach in the cliff-top hamlet of Bucks Mills which is one of the most beautiful villages in North Devon – a hidden gem with pretty whitewashed cottages speckled along a wooded valley.
Guests are welcome to use the field (shared with owners) for children to play and exercise their dogs. There is also a separate grassy area with a picnic table and panoramic views across the valley.
There is something for everyone in this stunning location including birdwatching, stargazing, fishing, horse riding, golf, surfing and sailing all close by.

A village store and post office is just ½ mile away and there is a pub serving great food and a fish and chip shop within 1½ miles. The nearby riverside town of Bideford with its various facilities, restaurants and large park is also the place to hop on a boat trip to Lundy Island. You can also hire a bike and take a trip along the beautiful Tarka Trail either towards Barnstaple, North Devon’s ‘capital’ or Great Torrington in the opposite direction. RHS Rosemoor Gardens, Docton Mill and Hartland Quay are well worth a visit, along with many pretty fishing villages to explore, including nearby Instow and picturesque Appledore. For family fun The Big Sheep and Milky Way adventure parks are a must.

We returned to the Threshing Barn for another week’s break having been there last year. Still a great location in the stillness of the Devon countryside but close enough to the North Devon beaches. Jane and Paul are wonderful hosts who afford you privacy but are on hand if you need anything. We love it there. So much so that we’ll return next year.

Had a great holiday, beautiful barn with perfect spacious accommodation for a large family to share. wonderful views from the main living space., and nice south facing patio for relaxing. Separate snug with TV/DVD. Perfect if you want a break from social media and devices. Plenty of outdoor space for playing games or having a BBQ. Good parking and easy use of EV charging. 5 mins drive or short walk to paper shop/general store. Very good location for exploring the local area. Would definitely recommend and return.
