Located in the tranquil East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, The Byre in Combpyne, Devon is a charming vacation home that sleeps 4 people in 2 bedrooms. Surrounded by wooded hills, country lanes, and abundant wildlife, this property is just a short drive away from the Dorset and East Devon World Heritage Coast. Nearby attractions include the seaside town of Lyme Regis, the fishing village of Beer, and the picturesque Branscombe, all within 15 minutes.
The Byre is situated in the grounds of Bulmoor Farmhouse, a historic building dating back to 1797 and listed by English Heritage as a place of "Special Architectural and Historical Importance." The owners have meticulously restored both buildings and the ancient cider apple orchard using traditional skills and materials. The former milking parlour features large stable doors, hopper windows, and high vaulted ceilings, creating a quirky and spacious accommodation that retains its original charm.
This vacation home is the perfect hideaway for a coast and country holiday, with attractions that are best enjoyed in April to May when the woods and hedgerows are blooming with wildflowers and the orchards are in full bloom. Nearby attractions include the River Cottage Canteen in Axminster, the elegant Regency resort of Sidmouth, and the Park Farm HQ. Guests can enjoy activities such as scuba diving, snorkeling, hiking, and horse riding in the surrounding area, making it an ideal destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.
