Chelfham Barton Manor

Barnstaple 5 miles. Sitting proudly in the picturesque borough of Chelfham, Chelfham Barton Manor is an arresting stone-built cottage surrounded by the magnificent landscapes of the North Devon coast and countryside. Renovated to a high standard, this characterful cottage exudes luxury and provides the ultimate base for a large family or group celebration, whatever the occasion! Grab a delicious bottle of wine from the impressive cooler and delight in drinks with friends at the breakfast bar, whilst the chef of the group takes to the striking AGA cooker and prepares a fantastic feast for the whole family to enjoy. Serve up at the grand yet rustic dining table, taking a seat on the chic teal velvet chairs and indulging in this lovingly-prepared meal as you make the most of quality time with your loved ones. Retire to the warm and inviting snug for a lovely digestif by the stove, or cross the gorgeous slate floors over to the sitting room where you can unwind with a captivating movie on the Smart TV as you keep your feet warm by the traditional woodburning stove. Children will relish in time spent playing in the games room, whilst the adults continue the evening out in the garden with a relaxing soak in the hot tub. The garden can also be found hosting a barbecue with an outdoor seating area, perfect for dinner alfresco on those warm summer evenings. Completing the ground floor is a handy utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as a well-designed shower room where you can quickly freshen up following an action-packed adventure by the coast. Climb the beautiful oak staircase up to the first floor and discover six attractive bedrooms where you can lay your head to rest. The master bedroom has been decorated with calming cream tones and serene green accents, as well as benefiting from a roomy king-size bed and an en-suite bathroom. Across the way lies a sophisticated double hosting its very own en-suite shower room, whilst two additional king-size bedrooms and two twins are served by a bright and airy shower room. The interior of the cottage is then finished with a tranquil family bathroom featuring an eye-catching roll-top bath and a spacious walk-in shower, so that you can choose how to best prepare for the day ahead. Set about on a scenic stroll down to the town of Barnstaple and see the Clock Tower that overlooks the River Taw, before taking a tour of the Museum of Barnstaple & North Devon and crossing the iconic Long Bridge to the bustling retail park. Just a pleasant drive away lies the popular Exmoor Zoo, and the National Trust owned Arlington Court & Carriage Museum, an elegant dwelling with Victorian gardens dating back to the 18th century. Hop in the car and head for Braunton and Croyde, home to stunning sandy beaches and the jagged cliff tops of Baggy Point, providing unrivalled views of the Lundy Heritage Coast and Sea. Learn to catch a wave with the Croyde Surf Academy or spend the afternoon hiking the breath-taking South West Coast Path, stopping off at the colourful Ilfracombe Harbour for a tasty bite to eat along the way.
