'The Upper Arches' is a self-catering holiday accommodation located in Chulmleigh, Devon, in the South West of England. This luxury accommodation, which sleeps up to 10 people in 3 bedrooms, is set in the beautiful Taw Valley amidst the green rolling hills of central Devon. The property is a former barn, believed to have been built around the same time as the main house, Nethercott, on the Portsmouth Estate in 1862.
The conversion of 'The Arches' began in 2010 and was completed in mid-2012, with a focus on using local materials such as stone, oak, and slate to maintain the traditional character of the building. The interior combines old charm with modern amenities, including stainless steel and glass elements. The open-plan layout provides spacious accommodation for large families or groups, with 2 self-contained lets available.
The property features 3 bedrooms with king or super-king beds, luxury bed linen, and en-suite wet rooms with high-volume power showers. The fully fitted kitchen is equipped with modern appliances, and the dining/lounge area includes a 50" plasma TV and surround sound system. Guests can also enjoy access to a gym area with commercial-grade machines and dumbbells.
While pets are not allowed in the 'Upper Arches', guests can make use of the large BBQ/garden area shared with the 'Lower Arches'. The property offers a quiet retreat away from city life, ideal for countryside activities and relaxation. With attention to detail in construction and amenities, 'The Upper Arches' provides a high standard of accommodation for a luxury stay in Devon.
