Cosy rural barn retreat for couples near stunning Cornish coast

Escape to this charming one-bed stone barn conversion nestled in a quiet rural hamlet within easy reach of North Cornwall & Devon's breath-taking coastline. Just nine miles from the seaside town of Bude, this hideaway offers the perfect blend of relaxation and the chance to explore unspoilt North Cornwall & Devon. A car is essential to make the most of this scenic area.
The barn combines rustic character with modern comforts, with a luxurious king-size bed for a great night's sleep. Guests have often described the barn as a home away from home, with good Wi-Fi and parking adjacent to the Barn. There's a Utility room next door with washing machine and dryer, and additional freezer space if you need it.
Unwind in the peaceful surroundings and reconnect with the natural world. There is a lovely private sunny seating area in front of the Barn where you can watch goldfinches, tits and the occasional woodpecker feeding from the birdfeeders. Depending on the time of year you might see starling murmurations on our front lawn, long-eared bats catching insects at dusk, or hedgehogs late at night. Our black and white rescue cat, Bubble, keeps a watchful eye over the whole farm. Alternatively, take advantage of all the walking opportunities, or explore the surrounding areas. We provide a wealth of information so that you can get the most out of your well-earned break. This includes our own guide covering places to eat and visit, the best local walks – many circular ones from our farm - beaches, and hidden gems.
We welcome one well-behaved, adult, dog. We ask dog owners to keep their dog on a lead when outside because the area in front of the Barn is not fully enclosed. The surrounding area is very dog friendly, and you may find shopkeepers offering your pet a treat with every visit! Most pubs and restaurants welcome dogs and nearby National Trust's Sandymouth beach allows dogs all year round.
Please note that the Barn is not suitable for babies, infants or children.
Although we are no longer a working farm a local farmer uses our organic field for his beef cattle, and we keep a few chickens.
We love welcoming guests from all areas of the UK and the world, with the aim that that they return home with everlasting memories of their stay here.

The property was presented to a very high standard. Very clean and extremely well equipped. Could not fault anything. We had a great stay here and the friendly owners provided much local information to ensure you could make the most of your visit to this beautiful area. Very quiet and peaceful location but with easy access to A39 Atlantic Highway which was a huge advantage. Perfect five night getaway.

Perfect cosy barn in a peaceful location

East Woolley Barn is cosy and peaceful, perfectly located to explore North Devon and North Cornwall. The Barn has everything you would need and the hosts are very welcoming and helpful with suggestions of things to do and see. The Barn was spotlessly clean and well heated making for a very relaxing and comfortable stay.

Beautiful, quiet retreat near many points of interest

Our stay at the barn for couples in Bude could not have been more delightful. It is in a quiet location but very close to the spectacular coastal sights and the coastal path in North Cornwall and North Devon. There are also several walking loops right from the residence around the nearby countryside. It is an excellent spot for birdwatching and relaxing. It is also within a 60-90 minute drive from Tintagel, Dartmoor National Park, and Exeter, in case you wish to venture further. But you will not run out of things to do nearby. Riki was a superb host, providing a wealth of information on nearby sites and communicating promptly. The barn cottage is immaculate and well-appointed. I cannot think of anything I would change about the facility or its environment. We would stay there again at the first opportunity and will recommend it to friends.

Perfect!

Communication was excellent with Riki and we were made to feel welcome from the start. Upon arrival, Riki greeted us and showed us around the barn where to find everything. It was equipped with everything we needed and more. We had a lovely welcome pack including biscuits, local honey, organic apple juice and milk. All were good quality products. The barn is next to the farm house, however you do have privacy and a lovely seating area outside. There are also extra garden chairs available. The bed is super comfy and we slept very well every night. The bathroom was lovely with a good shower. It was a great base to explore other areas with Bude beach approximately 20 minutes away. There is lots of information for local and beyond areas. We had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend staying here.

Amazing Cornwall holiday

From the moment we checked in, Riki was great, so helpful and welcomed us like she had know us for years, we felt at home. The barn was beautiful, clean, really large, the most comfortable bed!!! Everything we needed was there. The welcome pack was great, milk, eggs, bread and cookies. The barn was ideally placed for visiting the North of Cornwall and North Devon, we visited so many places in the 2wks we were there. I would highly recommend this barn to everyone, and hopefully we will return again.

Lovely country break

Myself and my fiancé stayed here for our third anniversary for 7 days. Riki and Martin were brilliant hosts, gave us lots of info ahead of time about the check in process as well as places to visit and recommendations for restaurants. The property was very clean and well maintained, and the location was wonderful; just a short drive to the coast. Everything I wanted or needed to know was in a very handy booklet in the property, and if anything else was outstanding Riki and Martin were easily contactable for further info. Thank you very much for such a wonderful trip!

Lovely stay!

Rikey and Martin’s little haven was perfect. We stayed just three nights but was perfectly located for long walks along the beach with the dog, which he loved! Although small, the property was fitted out to a pretty high spec and very comfortable - just like home-from-home! The hosts were amazing and Rikey gave us lots of ideas of where to go during the day and where to eat if we wanted! They live behind the property but were not invasive at all! We would definitely stay here again. We can’t wait to go back!!
