Tarka is an attractive detached, two-bedroom barn conversion in the West Devon village of Meeth. Located in the unspoilt Devonshire countryside between Okehampton and Great Torrington, Tarka is somewhere to escape to and enjoy all the countryside has to offer.
Begin your exploration of this unique property as you walk into the cosy and inviting open plan living area. The kitchen is well equipped with everything needed to prepare a home-cooked meal for four. The dining table is the perfect space to gather for breakfast to plan your adventurous day ahead and the living area offers a relaxing sanctuary after a busy day exploring, comfortably furnished and with a wood burner. The first bedroom has a kingsize bed and an en-suite shower room, and the second has twin beds. The family bathroom is fitted with a shower cubicle. To top off this beautiful property, there is a fully enclosed garden with a large lawn and patio area for guests to enjoy, and a new studio/summerhouse in place for 2023. The perfect suntrap to enjoy your morning coffee.
Within walking distance is the local pub and the starting point for the Tarka Trail which is a 180 mile, walking and cycling route. Tarka is ideally suited to explore the charming north Devon coast and countryside with beautiful beaches at Croyde, Bude and Sandymouth. There is a local bus service with 5 return times per day taking you to Torrington, Bideford and Okehampton.

The towns of Great Torrington and Bideford lie close by, where you will find most amenities. The Eden Project can be enjoyed within an hour’s drive, but even closer to your Hatherleigh cottage are Okehampton Castle, the RHS gardens at Torrington and the War Horse Valley Family Park at Iddesleigh. The Milky Way and The Big Sheep adventure parks will fascinate the younger ones. This lovely holiday home provides a quiet rural retreat, with plenty of space for a family or a group of friends to relax.
