Lower Curscombe Barn, a beautiful conversion of a 400-year-old threshing barn, comprises two adjacent properties together sleeping 12. Perfect for those who want to chill and relax with a little time to themselves, each spacious property is self-contained enjoying its own facilities.
The landscape here is truly amazing with numerous countryside walks from the doorstep and the Devon coast within easy reach. The spacious interiors provide an ideal setting for families and groups of friends, whether for a special celebration or just for a wonderful holiday and welcomes up to four well-behaved dogs.
Situated on a quiet, semi-working farm in the tiny hamlet of Curscombe, Lower Curscombe Barn boasts charming features and is elegantly furnished throughout with great attention to detail.
The welcoming home-from-home is a combination of Harvest Moon, sleeping eight, and Hunters Moon, sleeping four. Each is bright and airy with contemporary décor and a wonderfully cosy wood burner. On sunnier occasions, guests can throw open their French doors to invite in a cooling breeze and enjoy an al fresco feast on the terrace with outdoor furniture and a barbecue. The dining table at Harvest Moon can be extended to seat all 12 members of your party.

There's also a separate large sitting room with comfortable sofas, TV and wood burner. Upstairs, the four spacious bedrooms are combined with two first-class bathrooms, one of which is en suite. The master bedroom has a 5′ bed and an en suite bathroom with a shower over the bath. There are two twin bedrooms with 3′ beds and a further double bedroom with a 5′ bed.
