About this property
The Hay Barn is a cottage converted from a barn on Bickleigh Farm. Close to the splendid indoor pool and popular play area, the accommodation is comfortable and friendly for families. You will feel at home in the country style slate-floored kitchen with its sociable dining area. The sitting room is equally welcoming with country chic oak floor and beams and a wood burning stove in the fireplace to curl up beside. Head upstairs to bed in the two big bedrooms, both roomy with rustic oak floors and balustrades. You are bound to sleep well after action packed days enjoying the shared indoor pool, play area and games room and following the conservation trails across the farm. The cottage also has its own sunny patio with a low wall for enjoying family barbecues. The Hay Barn is an excellent base for enjoying Devon countryside and family friendly fun.
