Apple Orchard Barn

Coffinswell sits between the Devon coast and Newton Abbot, making it a practical base for exploring both. Walking trails crisscross the countryside here, and the sea is within reach for a day out. Apple Orchard Barn itself is a three-bedroom property sleeping five, set back from the lane with parking for three cars and gardens where you can sit outside.

Inside, the accommodation spreads across two floors. Downstairs has a living room with a wood burner, and a kitchen-dining room with an electric oven, induction hob, microwave and fridge for self-catering. Upstairs are three bedrooms: two with king beds and one single, served by a bathroom with a bath and a separate ensuite shower. Heating is provided, along with electricity, wi-fi, bed linen and towels. The property is yours alone for your stay, and smoking is not permitted.

This is a countryside retreat rather than a seaside bolt-hole, though the coast is accessible. It suits families or groups wanting space to spread out, with enough of a kitchen to cook properly and a log fire for cooler evenings.
