About this property
Honiton 3.9 miles. The Old Dairy is an outstanding contemporary barn conversion near the market town of Honiton in Devon. This stunning holiday home has gorgeous countryside views to be in awe of from the balcony and hot tub in the garden, as well as an affectionate woodburning stove to keep you snuggly at night, making it the ultimate option for a family getaway or a small group wanting a holiday. You are met by an open-plan space which has a couple of sofas and an armchair to get settled in - whoever gets the remote first can pick what they want to flick on the Smart TV.
Upstairs, there are more spots to relax with another sitting area, which has a balcony through the patio doors. Sit back and enjoy the sun piercing through during the warmer months. A games room should keep the little ones occupied on the first floor whilst something is being cooked for the family in the kitchen area. Make the most of the electric oven and hobs before plating up in the dining area to eat together. After food, all take a dip in the hot tub as the sunset rolls in. When the sun does leave, come round the fire pit to dry off, making the most of the evening.
Before bed, use either the en-suite bath or walk-in shower to wash off. Figure out who has the single, twin or king-size beds, then settle down, preparing for another day of fun ahead. A short drive away, you will find shops for any necessities or a pub for a quick drink. Seaton is nearby for a day out for the family. On your way, stop off at the Axe Valley Wildlife Park so the kids can look at some rare animals in amazement. The Jurassic Coast is at Seaton for a fulfilling day of beach activities as well as some scenic rides on the tramway.
Lyme Regis is always a popular option with more sun-kissed beaches, the aquarium for some crazy sea creatures or the Dinosaurland Fossil Museum. Exeter is slightly further afield for a trip out. It has the sumptuous Riverside Valley and Ludwell Valley for some tranquil strolls before a picnic with some birdwatching. For some dramatic family amusement, the Red House Mysteries Escape Rooms are something for everyone to get involved in. The Old Dairy will give everyone a holiday to remember, so book now.
Tackley is a picturesque village situated in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds, approx 8 miles north of Oxford and 3 miles from Woodstock, home of Blenheim Palace. The name Tackley is derived from 'tack' which means sheep or ewe and 'ley' which means glade or clearing! The village is very pretty, has a good village shop and a local pub The Gardiner Arms. There is another pub just outside the village called Sturdy's Castle.
Nearby there are some superb attractions to visit. Rousham Hall is very close by and although there are restrictions to visiting etc, it is a beautiful stately home. Oxford,'The city of the Dreaming Spires' and colleges is just 15 mins by car. There are literally hours of things to do there! For the determined shopper, Bicester Village which is a vast outlet centre.
Woodstock has a good range of local pubs, along with restaurants, shops and stores while the famous Blenheim Palace, home to the Duke of Malborough is well worth a day trip.
