If you love to visit the beaches of North Devon yet prefer staying in the quiet tranquillity enjoying countryside living then Honeysuckle might just be the perfect place to stay!
Off the approach road into Woolacombe is a turn off towards the coastal village of Lee and a short way down there is a turning into a lane leading to the small hamlet of farms, Allendar Farm is one of them. It takes about five minutes in the car from the main road to get to Allendar Farm where Honeysuckle sits so when a trip to the beach is planned, it will take no more than ten minutes in the car to get to Woolacombe, the nearest beach. Delightful walks through the farm lead down the valley to Lee and is a must for dog walks.
This delightful four bedroom barn conversion was done over 10 years ago by the previous owners and has established itself firmly as one of the five popular holiday cottages at Allendar Farm.
Inside the barn conversion is a twin bedroom and a downstairs toilet with shower and sink basin, the stairs to the upper floor where the other three bedrooms are and the lounge, diner kitchen that form the rest of the downstairs and this is a sizeable open plan area. Plenty of sofa seating for 8 people and dining also.
The kitchen is of a good size with adequate food storage and is well equipped for a family holiday away. Stable doors from the living room lead out onto the lawned garden with views over surrounding countryside and is a lovely suntrap. The conservatory, (new in 2021) makes a great addition to the lovely barn conversion with far reaching views across the valley over the farmland between.
Upstairs there are the further three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master double has a shower room ensuite. All rooms are furnished in a cottagey farmhouse traditional style with pine, wood and simple soft furnishings.
Two dogs accepted at £20 per dog per holiday. This is a Friday changeover.
Honeysuckle provides good size family accommodation near to beaches and countryside walks. A perfect retreat from city life and a charming place to unwind, go on, spoil yourselves!

Very good
Reviews are presented in chronological order, subject to a moderation process, and verified unless otherwise labelled.
Ideal for 2 families of 4. Spacious and quiet with lovely views. Dated but adequate. Table cloth on kitchen table dirty and difficult to wipe clean, the rest of the cottages was clean. Very enjoyable stay.

A proprty disappointment
On arrival there was a strong musty/damp smell downstairs and the sofa covers were also smelly. The furniture was a mishmash of old, probably seconhand store, table and chairs and the surfaces had a layer of dust. It gave the impression of not having been lived in for some time although the disgarded cigarette butts around the front doorstep and picnic table would suggest otherwise. Microwave and toaster need replacing and the downstairs shower also (dirty and unpleasant).
Upstairs was okay albeit basic. Bed linen and towels were clean and of a decent standard which was the good news. The mattress in the double at the top of the stairs needs replacing as it was lumpy and springs could be felt.
The comments made are similar to those going back over ten years so the owners have not moved to make improvements but still expect to command a strong rental rate.Departed the property early just to get back to a cleaner environment.
Response from VrboOwner on 18 July 2022
Thanks for taking the time to review Honeysuckle. It is a rustic house, under new ownership since just before lockdown and new to Holiday Home Hunter during that time. It is a barn conversion and the furnishings are older style but not that old, the owners taste is more conventional cottage style and its more of a dog friendly, walkers base for getting out to explore the area. It suits some and not others as other reviews indicate. It is much more reasonably priced than neighbouring properties and for a 4 bedroom house it is keenly priced. The cigarette butts are a mystery as the cleaner swept up outside on the Friday before you arrived. I have forwarded the review to the owner and cleaner and I expect they will replace the microwave and toaster. I will suggest a mattress topper for the bedroom you mention. The oven was replaced not long before your stay and the fridge freezer in the year or so. The conservatory is a recent addition from last year.

Perfect for a family stay
Had a lovely stay here with the family.
The furniture is a little dated, and the floorboards creak, but none of those things affected our stay.
There are plenty of seating options, which meant we could spread out and each have our own space.
The conservatory is lovely, and my son spent most of his time in there with the air-conditioning!
