Varley Lodge, Prixford

Varley Lodge is a converted stone barn in North Devon featuring exposed oak beams and vaulted ceilings throughout. The property sits in open countryside with views across farmland and rolling hills. A private hot tub on the terrace makes the most of the rural setting.

The barn stands in three acres of grounds. Fields stretch out in every direction. You can spot sheep grazing and watch the sun set over distant moorland from the garden.

Inside you'll find three bedrooms sleeping six guests. The main bedroom has an en-suite bathroom. Two further bedrooms share a family bathroom. The open-plan living area combines kitchen and dining space under original timber beams. French doors open onto the patio.

Exmoor National Park lies 8 miles away (15 minutes). Barnstaple town centre is 4 miles (10 minutes). The coastal town of Ilfracombe sits 9 miles north (20 minutes). Croyde Bay beach is 11 miles (25 minutes).

Varley Lodge works brilliantly for families wanting countryside and coast. The hot tub and space make it stand out.
