This barn conversion (situated on a small farm in East Devon) has recently been completed and is now a self contained annexe to the original farmhouse which is believed to have been built in the 1700s. It is called 'Talala' which means 'peaceful'.
The upstairs bedroom has a comfortable king size bed, a built in cupboard with hanging space and shelves,and a dressing table and is carpeted throughout. A unique feature of the bedroom are the original exposed beams. The bedroom window looks out over the surrounding fields where deer are often seen in the early morning. Please note that the stairs leading to the bedroom are gated at the bottom. We can provide a chairbed in the bedroom, for older children.
The upstairs bathroom also has exposed beams and is simply decorated with mahogany cupboards, a large corner bath, heated towel rail and shower.Fresh linen and towels, a hair-dryer and alarm clock/radio are included.
The spacious sitting room has seating for 6, slate flooring, a log fire burner and big flat screen TV with dvd player. There is a double sofa bed which can sleep 2 people.
There is a gated doorway leading through to the breakfast/kitchenette area where there is a sink, fridge, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, kettle, 8-in-1 Multi Chef (you can roast, steam, slow cook, sauté, boil, grill, fry and bake in it.) a hotplate, an iron and ironing board and crockery and cutlery. Provisions for a continental breakfast are supplied. There is a dining room table with seating for 4.
There is a washing machine in the cottage and access to a tumble drier can be provided.
Guests do have access to a private garden where they can relax and have a barbecue. We do have livestock and dogs on the farm so please make sure gates are kept closed at all times- particularly the ones leading to the road. We also have a big pond so for health and safety reasons, the pond, poultry area and fields are out of bounds. We are more than happy to show you around if you would like to see the animals.
We also have another barn conversion on the farm listed as 'Mwendafye' so please also have a look at that, as the 2 cottages are very different.
