Smart barn conversion. Perfect touring location, for beaches, moors & Cornwall

Delightful property set within farmland but only five miles from the city of Exeter. Far reaching views to Dartmoor and close to A30 for Cornwall. Wonderful touring destination for walkers and families with beaches half an hour away. High speed internet and all mod cons. Private courtyard garden and use of shared grounds. Perfect comfort at the end of a long day exploring the beautiful Westcountry

Lovely cottage stay

Our family enjoyed a beautiful stay in your gorgeous barn conversion. We were welcomed with a lovely bouquet of fresh flowers. The cottage had everything our family needed for a relaxing stay. Fresh towels and linen were provided along with wood for the fire and everything in the kitchen. We loved everything about our stay from the sweet touches of sheep in each room to the wake up call from the cows. Booking, check-in, and check-out couldn’t be easier. Communication with the host was always easy and timely. Thank you Christine and Shaun for a beautiful stay!

A wonderful stay in a beautiful part of Devon

We were welcomed warmly with an umbrella in the dark and pouring rain as we arrived at the barn. That was so appreciated - thank you Christine! The accommodation was everything we had expected and we were very grateful for recommendations on things to do in the area. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Wonderful stay in the west country

My partner and I very much enjoyed staying on the Connor's property. It was ideal for us as we wanted to cook our own food and be self-sufficient. And when we needed supplies, there's plenty of supermarkets in the surrounding towns and villages. The property includes all the amenities of home, and the wifi worked well so definitely an option if you need to work remotely. We will certainly consider returning to Wayland Farm!

Idyllic countryside barn

We loved every second of our stay in The Barn. Very central for exploring the region and it was lovely to return to a quiet and comfortable home each night. The shower in the bathroom has great pressure and the amenities were everything we needed. Felt very welcome and safe during our stay.

Lovey property

We stayed for four nights as our daughter is at Exeter University and had a reading week. We were able to have some great days visiting the area and have a chilled out and relaxed time. Property was very nice in a great location and handy to get around. Would recommend to similar people or to anyone wanting to explore South Devon. Great Stay!

Lovely barn conversion

The property was very nice and as good as expected.Well equipped bar a dodgy can opener and a rather difficult ceramic hob for someone who has never used one. Peaceful location, close to a local pub and the only downside a barking dog early in the morning. The hostess responded immediately to any problems.

Really lovely barn conversion

We were really surprised at how lovely the barn conversion was. Although it is a little off the beaten track it is ideal for exploring the area so close to all the busy commute roads, It is so quiet in the countryside you can really chill. Would definitely recommend to others and hope to visit again
