Cosy barn for couples in peaceful rural surroundings near Bude coast

Enjoy this traditional, cosy stone one-bed barn conversion located in a quiet hamlet, surrounded by beautiful countryside, only nine miles from the seaside resort of Bude.
It's the perfect location for exploring unspoilt north Cornwall & Devon, with beaches and the south-west coast path within easy reach; you need a car to get around. Soak in the peace and quiet of the Barn with its home comforts, and luxurious king size bed. Make the most of your break using our customised information on local walks, and places to visit. The photos give an idea of the places you can visit within an hour's drive.
**Housing crisis in the South West: the Barn only has planning consent as holiday accommodation so by booking it you are not preventing a local family from having a home to rent **
Although we’re no longer a working farm you can often see a local farmer’s attractive Stabiliser cattle grazing in our organic field, and we keep 4 chickens. Depending on the time of year you might see geese or ducks rearing their young on our wildlife pond, long-eared bats catching insects at dusk, or our resident hedgehog late at night. We provide a bird guide to help you identify birds on the birdfeeders, including the Great Spotted Woodpecker, goldfinch, tits and chaffinches. Our black and white rescue cat, Bubble, keeps a watchful eye over the whole farm.
We welcome one well-behaved, adult, dog. There's a lovely private sunny seating area in front of the Barn; we ask dog owners to keep their dog on a lead because the area isn't fully enclosed. The area is very dog friendly, and you may find shopkeepers offering your pet a treat with every visit! Most pubs and restaurants welcome dogs and nearby Sandymouth beach allows dogs all year round.
We have one other holiday apartment for couples in our courtyard, which is entirely separate from the Barn. The rest of our courtyard is used for storage.
We love welcoming guests from all areas of the UK and the world, with the aim that that they return home with everlasting memories of their stay here.

Amazing Cornwall holiday
From the moment we checked in, Riki was great, so helpful and welcomed us like she had know us for years, we felt at home. The barn was beautiful, clean, really large, the most comfortable bed!!! Everything we needed was there. The welcome pack was great, milk, eggs, bread and cookies. The barn was ideally placed for visiting the North of Cornwall and North Devon, we visited so many places in the 2wks we were there. I would highly recommend this barn to everyone, and hopefully we will return again.

Lovely country break
Myself and my fiancé stayed here for our third anniversary for 7 days. Riki and Martin were brilliant hosts, gave us lots of info ahead of time about the check in process as well as places to visit and recommendations for restaurants. The property was very clean and well maintained, and the location was wonderful; just a short drive to the coast. Everything I wanted or needed to know was in a very handy booklet in the property, and if anything else was outstanding Riki and Martin were easily contactable for further info. Thank you very much for such a wonderful trip!

I’ve stayed here many times and will come back. As I’ve said in past reviews this is a great place to stay . The barn is spotless and there is everything you need here . The weather hasn’t been kind during my stay but that aside I had a great two weeks here. It really is a good location. Riki is so helpful and friendly. I hope to come back on September and will definitely be here next February. Richard 😊

Due to personal circumstances we were unable to complete our trip. However we are so indebted to Riki for her kindness understanding and timely communication. It meant so much when we were going through tough times that she put herself out in such a selfless manner. I couldn’t recommend her enough. Such a breath of fresh air to find such a caring soul.

Lovely stay!
Rikey and Martin’s little haven was perfect. We stayed just three nights but was perfectly located for long walks along the beach with the dog, which he loved! Although small, the property was fitted out to a pretty high spec and very comfortable - just like home-from-home! The hosts were amazing and Rikey gave us lots of ideas of where to go during the day and where to eat if we wanted! They live behind the property but were not invasive at all! We would definitely stay here again. We can’t wait to go back!!

Had such an amazing week here Riki and Martin are such lovely hosts nothing was too much trouble know lots of knowledge about the surrounding area telling us the best places to visit. The barn is home from home everything you need for a pleasant stay. Bude was such a lovely little town to visit about a 20min drive from the barn so you do need a car if you stay here as there isnt a pub or shop in walking distance, if you are looking for a cosy retreat to recharge your batteries this is definitely the place to stay would well recommend it, would definitely visit again.

The pictures of the property on Vrbo do not do the place justice. Riki is the best host we’ve ever stayed with, she was always in hand if needed and kitted the place out for everything you could possibly need for your stay. The location is remote and perfect to wind down and relax. We ventured out daily with Bude and Sandymouth Beach only 15minutes away (great for the dog). Wonderful break - shame the sun didn’t make an appearance.

Rikki and Martin have thought of everything you need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is well equipped, the furniture comfortable and parking is a breeze. The washer was a bonus. The property is located less than a kilometre from the A39, so you can head off to explore the region.

Just perfect!
An absolutely wonderful stay at the charming East Woolley Farm. The barn was exceptional...there is nothing I would change. Ideal for a couple or even a single traveller. The crowning glory apart from the peaceful location was the most comfortable bed I've slept in. We needed some time to recharge and this is the perfect place to do that. We will definitely return. Thank you to our wonderful hosts, Riki & Martin.
