THE BARN

a unique luxury holiday escape in North Devon

hartaretreats_cabin_photosjune2022-83.jpg

Late 2019 whilst exploring North Devon we discovered an old farmhouse with outbuildings and beautiful land. We spent months lovingly renovating the 18th century farmhouse and restoring one of the barns, bringing back to life some of the original features and adding some of our own twists too. You'll find the converted barn filled with individual treasures and artefacts from the HARTA living collections. The beautiful barn is now available to rent as a luxury self-catering holiday home offering rustic charm with contemporary features.

 

Positioned behind a majestic copper beech this bolthole is an ideal rural escape. The Barn is a stylishly converted period stone building with exposed beams nestled amongst the Devonshire rolling hills, meadows and woodlands. Ideally located to discover Exmoor National Park and North Devon’s award winning beaches of Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton Sands, it is perfect for a peaceful break for couples, friends and family alike.  Whether you are looking for an active or relaxing holiday this luxury self-catering barn conversion with stream fed pond and an outdoor tennis court can provide just that.

What Our Guests Say

Don't take our word for it

"We cannot recommend this place highly enough! It was the perfect setting to escape for the weekend. Aaron and Miranda were the perfect hosts … we’ll definitely be back and will be spreading the word! Next time we’ll be sampling Aaron’s currys! Thank you. A great find!"

Jane

" This stay was absolutely perfect for us after our engagement. Miranda & Aaron were excellent hosts, the property was beautiful, chic and clean and a lovely location to explore. I had some additions added for our special occasion which were set up perfectly along with some home baked warm apple cakes (which were delicious!) Couldn’t fault it whatsoever and it will certainly be memorable for us forever. Thank you so much, and we hope to stay again."

Tyler

"This house is outstanding. It’s so beautifully presented and is a perfect getaway. We stayed for a weekend and it rained (almost) the whole time, but the house felt like a dream hideaway. The kitchen is wonderful to cook in and there are plenty of spots to curl up with a book. I’m already thinking of booking again. Miranda and Aaron are the perfect mix of helpful but not invasive. Quick drive to ilfracombe and to see Verity - recommended. 10/10"

James

"Miranda & Aaron have created a beautiful spot to stay and explore North Devon. Spotlessly clean, super stylish, well equipped with everything you could possibly need for a break away from the hustle & bustle. A fabulous location with beautiful walks available directly on the doorstep, a great pub just a short drive away & invaluable insights into the local area from such welcoming & friendly hosts. Very much looking forward to a return visit. Will be recommending to all our friends!"
