Idyllic countryside barn

We loved every second of our stay in The Barn. Very central for exploring the region and it was lovely to return to a quiet and comfortable home each night. The shower in the bathroom has great pressure and the amenities were everything we needed. Felt very welcome and safe during our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Shaun & Christine Conner

Host profile image

We moved to Devon with our young family in 2006. We both run our own businesses from home and enjoy a rare quality of life with our sons in this beautiful rural location. We spend our summers fishing and surfing and our winters on various rugby pitches and enjoying some of the beautiful local walks with our dogs. We look forward to sharing it with you.

Why they chose this property

This is the ideal location for a family holiday taking in both city and countryside. You are surrounded by Devon's iconic rolling green hills but close to the city of Exeter for shopping and cinema so theres something to do every day whatever the weather. Cornwall is an hour away with its golden beaches, surfing and tourist destinations including Rock, Padstow and locations from Rosamund Pilcher, Poldark and Doc Martin. Organic local produce is widely available and fresh fish is available at our local farm shops. Local pubs cater for all tastes and provide a warm welcome.

What makes this property unique

We love the house and the gardens and we enjoy panoramic views and an outdoor lifestyle. Devon is an ideal place to bring up a family and the house is not only a home, but a hub for our extended family and our "office space"when working from home.
We are within 15 minutes of Exeter station providing a high speed rail link to London (2 1/2 hours) and Plymouth's continental ferry link is only an hour away.
