Oplysninger om overnatningsstedet
Davey’s Barn sleeps two guests in studio-style accommodation with a king-size bed, a modern shower room, and a private outdoor space with a stream (supervision required for pets). Warm, characterful and perfectly placed for a rural escape, it’s an inviting retreat for anyone seeking peace, countryside views and authentic Exmoor charm.
Davey’s Barn sits on a working hill farm on Brendon Hill, surrounded by sweeping Exmoor countryside. This charming peaceful hideaway for two offers a cosy interior, lovely views, and walks from the doorstep. The open-plan living space brings together a sofa and wood-burner, a dining area, a compact kitchen and a king-size sleigh bed, with a modern shower room set just off the main room. Outside, the private terrace and enclosed courtyard provide a quiet place to sit beside the stream and enjoy the tranquillity of the hamlet.
Guests will find logs provided for the wood-burner, a charcoal barbecue for summer evenings, and all essentials included, such as bed linen, towels, Wi-Fi, heating and electricity. Dogs are welcome for a supplement of GBP 15 per dog. As the barn is located on a working beef and sheep farm, visitors are welcome to request a tour, learn about the farming practices, or meet the pedigree sheep shown at local and national competitions.
