Set on a 300-acre working dairy farm, the barn conversion is part of a pair of semi-detached properties—Milk Churn and Hay Rick—both thoughtfully decorated and furnished to a high standard.

Each property offers private outdoor seating areas that provide stunning views of the surrounding Devon countryside, perfect for unwinding with a glass of wine after a day of exploration. The local village pub and restaurant are just a short walk away, enhancing the appeal of this peaceful getaway.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the numerous walking paths available on the farm, where they can observe daily milking routines or simply enjoy the tranquility of the area. The nearby Dartmoor National Park offers opportunities for scenic walks, picturesque Devon cream teas, and encounters with the famous Dartmoor ponies. With attractions such as the Hoe and Barbican in Plymouth, Exeter's historic cathedral and quay, and the delightful beaches of Dawlish Warren and Teignmouth all within easy reach, guests will find plenty to see and do. For a touch of literary history, fans of Agatha Christie can visit Greenway, her family holiday home, which is open to the public. The flexibility of booking both Milk Churn and Hay Rick together allows for accommodating larger groups of up to 12 guests, making this destination ideal for family gatherings or friend reunions.
