Property information

Yenworthy Barn in Oare sleeps up to 10 guests in four bedrooms. Set in a spectacular location on the northern slopes of Exmoor National Park, with views of the Channel, this is one of two traditional barns on the farm that has been sympathetically converted to offer a high quality accommodation. This property certainly appeal to countryside admirers and walkers, there's fantastic walking direct from the door and around 13 miles of footpaths to explore! Yenworthy Barn is part of Yenworthy Farm, set in ‘Doone Country’, and actually appears in the Lorna Doone novel itself. This working farm once had its own mill and the old water wheel can still be seen at the far end of the Barn. The entrance is into the upper level, the spacious open-plan kitchen-dining-living area, one of the features that makes this property so special and characterful. There's one double bedroom on this level, with accessible shower en-suite. Downstairs are three further bedrooms, one double (with en-suite shower room), one twin and one family room comprising double and bunk beds. There's also a family bathroom downstairs plus separate extra toilet.

Neighbourhood information

The Barn has a patio for sitting/eating out and an enclosed gardens for children and/or dogs. In addition, there is access to all the farm fields and streams and children can go far and wide in complete safety. Although there are farm dogs, they are friendly and very disciplined and they seem to rub along happily with visitors, both canine and human! There is direct access to a myriad of paths for walkers, including the coast path and plenty of circular routes. There is a beach just below the farm which is fun to walk to but it is pebbly and rocky and not suitable for swimming. However, there are lovely beaches nearby - 15 minutes or so to Lee Abbey beach at Lynton and fabulous surfing beaches 45-60 minutes away at Croyde, Saunton and Woolacombe. Horse riding is available nearby. The picturesque villages of Lynton and Lynmouth are 10 minutes away to the west and is famous for the funicular cliff railway that runs between the two villages. Malmsmead and the 'Doone Valley' is also nearby, made famous by the novel called 'Lorna Doone' by R.D. Blackmore. The capital of North Devon is Barnstaple and provides an extensive range of facilities including the famous Victorian market.
