Step through the door and you’re welcomed into a warm, inviting space that feels like a home from home. Outside, you’re just a few strides from Wistlandpound Reservoir, a tranquil stretch of water that’s perfect for gentle walks, wildlife spotting, or simply sitting with a coffee as the mist lifts in the morning.

But it’s the setting that truly makes this place unforgettable.
Nestled within a designated Dark Sky area, the nights here are something magical, pitch-black skies studded with stars, ideal for stargazers and romantics alike. A short drive takes you to the coast, where Combe Martin offers sea views and quirky charm, while the golden beaches of Saunton Sands and Croyde are perfect for surfing, swimming, or simply soaking up the sun. Hikers and nature lovers will find Exmoor’s rugged moorlands and deep wooded valleys just minutes away, home to wild ponies, red deer, and ancient trails.
Whether you’re seeking peaceful solitude or adventure-filled days, this spot is your perfect base, close to it all but quietly tucked away from the rush of the world. It’s a place to breathe deeply, slow down, and reconnect with the things that matter whilst enjoying the comforts of this beautiful cottage.

The tractor barn is a very special place and one well absolutely return to. The barn itself is fantastic, every little detail has been thought of, making it a very easy place to stay. The style and finish of the barn is also excellent - lots of very unique touches and it was spotlesly clean. The local reservoir makes for a perfect easy walk and we met lots of friendly locals while out walking. Andrew made us feel very welcome on arrival, with lots of excellent suggestions for the local area and answered all our questions. We were then left to enjoy the space but always had the option to ask for recommendations if we needed. The barn is well positioned with mases to do locally, as well as a little further afield. Weve stayed in many holiday cottages over the years - this really shines, you wont be disappointed!
