Enjoying a rural village location, The Byre-Cross Farm is an ideal stay for those wishing to relax in a slice of traditional Devon, yet with all the modern conveniences of contemporary living. With its tucked away edge of village location, you are just a stroll away from the village pub that serves up locally produced ales and food throughout the day.
Enjoy some spectacular views just a short walk from the property for any budding photographer, painter or walker taking in the sites as youlook down the valley over Barnstaple and up the river Taw out to sea. Some of the most awe inspiring views and walks can also be found on the rugged Exmoor National Park, and along the North Devon coastline, littered with miles and miles of un-spoilt golden sandy beaches. The principle North Devon market town of Barnstaple is just 2 miles by car and offers a wealth of local and national high street shopping brands, as well as a multi-screen cinema, theatre and super bowl plus, a 12 court tennis complex.
The cottage has been stylishly converted from an old barn and many of the original features have been retained including the round pillars unique to this area of North Devon. The cottage has 3 bedrooms a large master bedroom with an oak king-size bed and en-suite bathroom with a large bath and shower attachment, plus wash-basin and WC. The second bedroom is a twin with 2 single beds and fitted wardrobe and bedside tables and lamps. The third bedroom is a fun bunk bedroom with two adult size single beds.
The family bathroom is just outside the twin bedroom and has an electric power-shower, sink and wc.
The kitchen is set down 3 small steps and has everything you need for family cooking, with an electric cooker and hob, a micro-wave, dishwasher, washer-dryer, large fridge-freezer and all the pots and pans and utensils you'll need.
Down another two steps is the dining area with a large pine table with table cloth and six chairs as well as a dresser with books and games and a music system.
Finally down another couple of small steps is the lounge with two large, comfy sofas and a slate coffee table, along with a flat-screen TV and DVD.
Outside there is a lawned garden which can be accessed via patio doors and has a wood table and chairs and to the left is a secure garden with a gate to keep pets in, here there is another table and benches and a built-in BBQ. The garden pond is tucked away in the corner and is securely fenced in to keep curious children out.
There are some lovely walks from the cottage, where dogs are welcome but should be kept on leads as the fields will be full of sheep.

    Lovely barn conversion just needs a bit of an update in term of decor and cleaning

    A comfortable property tucked out of the way in a quiet village just 10m drive from all the amenities of Barnstaple and 20/30 minutes from beaches of Saunton/ Croyde etc. Some nice walks nearby on an old disused railway line. The accommodation is converted farm buildings with an interesting layout that may not suit everyone because of the height changes, but if you’re looking for a quiet, relaxing “inland” holiday this could fit the bill.

    Just returned from a week at the Byre. Very nice property, well positioned for exploring North Devon.

    A nice spacious holiday home, in a scenic quiet location, with friendly host. Was great to have 2 parking spaces, right next to the property and a small enclosed garden to let our dogs run around in and the welcome pack was a nice touch. The level of cleanliness was a bit disappointing, all floors and surfaces has been thoroughly cleaned, but the walls and ceilings were full of spiders webs and spiders. So we spent the first 2 hours of our stay cleaning. The 2 couches were extremely soft and the kitchen tap constantly dipped. Also there was no toilet paper, luckily we had brought some with us. Overall we did enjoyed our stay at the Byre and the location, with a few small improvements, it would be a perfect holiday home.

    We stayed over Christmas this year and the property was extremely toasty and warm! Loads of room for everyone! Hosts were lovely. We didn't visit the pub but we did have a lovely walk on Boxing Day in Ilfracombe, which is very easy to get to and the drove back to Goodleigh via the very beautiful coastal road. If you have prey driven dogs like us be advised the garden is not enclosed, which just means you have to be vigilant when letting your hounds out. There are loads of shops in Barnstaple which is only a couple of miles away. Would definitely visit again and highly recommend.

    An all too short weeks break. Ideally situated for a variety of activities and a lovely place to come home to each evening. We’ll appointed but a few niggles with missing lightbulbs which needed replacing. Very responsive hosts. Something for consideration may be hand rails down the steps between areas if staying with older family.

    Nice and quiet location with superb pub/restaurant in the village. Cottage well fitted out,but let down by a few cleanliness issues which we had to do ourselves which was a pity as we expected better.

    A great rural property at the edge of a small village, ideally located to trips out. Spacious, comfortable and away from the main town amenities. Ideal for a secluded break, but close enough to the main town by car. Would recommend.

    We really enjoyed staying in this beautiful property and we loved the location. The owner was very helpful and dealt promptly with a problem of noisy wildlife in the roof! It was a wonderful holiday with family and a fantastic place to stay.

    Charming place, property a bit tired as were the bed linen and towels. Liked the area, some great local walks for the dogs. Owner very friendly and helpful, would consider rebooking.
