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.

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.
