The Red Barn, Pancrassweek, Holsworthy
Escape to Tranquility at The Red Barn
Nestled in the picturesque hamlet of Pancrassweek near Holsworthy, The Red Barn offers a quintessentially British countryside retreat for those seeking peace, comfort and rural charm. This lovingly restored 18th-century barn conversion stands as a testament to rustic elegance, providing a perfect holiday haven in one of Devon's most unspoilt regions.
The Red Barn welcomes you with its distinctive traditional exterior, harmoniously blending the building's historical character with modern luxuries that ensure a comfortable and memorable stay. Step inside to discover exposed wooden beams, a cosy wood-burning stove, and tastefully appointed rooms that exude warmth and character.
Accommodating up to six guests across three beautifully designed bedrooms, The Red Barn provides ample space for families or small groups. The master bedroom features an en-suite bathroom with both a shower and roll-top bath – perfect for luxurious soaks after countryside rambles. Two additional bedrooms share a family bathroom equipped with modern fixtures whilst maintaining rustic charm.
The heart of this delightful cottage is its open-plan living area, where a fully-equipped kitchen meets a comfortable dining space and welcoming lounge. Large windows frame spectacular views of the surrounding Devon countryside, allowing natural light to flood the space while offering glimpses of local wildlife that frequently visits the property's gardens.
Outside, The Red Barn boasts a private garden with a stone patio, perfect for al fresco dining during summer evenings. The garden gently slopes toward a small stream, creating a tranquil soundscape that enhances the sense of rural serenity.
Pancrassweek itself is a hidden gem in North Devon's crown – a tiny parish with a 12th-century church and a population that barely reaches three digits. This peaceful location offers authentic countryside living whilst being conveniently situated for exploring Devon and Cornwall's many attractions.
Just four miles away, the market town of Holsworthy provides all necessary amenities, including a supermarket, independent shops, and the renowned Holsworthy Weekly Livestock Market – one of the largest in the South West. The town's Wednesday market has been operating since the 12th century, offering visitors a genuine taste of rural Devon life.
For beach enthusiasts, the spectacular Atlantic coastline is merely a 20-minute drive away. Bude, with its sandy beaches and seaside charm, offers excellent surfing opportunities and coastal walks. The dramatic landscapes of Dartmoor National Park lie within easy reach for more adventurous day trips.
Nature lovers will appreciate the nearby Tamar Lakes, perfect for birdwatching, fishing, or simply enjoying peaceful walks. The Tarka Trail and South West Coast Path provide endless opportunities for hikers and cyclists to explore this beautiful region at their own pace.
After days of exploration, return to The Red Barn to unwind under star-filled skies, unpolluted by city lights – a rare treat for urban dwellers.
