About this property

Beautiful barn, in the heart of the Devon countryside. 8 miles from Bude

Stunning Barn conversion, situated close to Bude and set in some of Devonshire's most beautiful countryside. Higher Forda barn sits in its own grounds with beautiful uninterrupted panoramic views.

Guests have full use of Higher Forda. The Barn, has four en-suite bedrooms - three upstairs and one downstairs. Purple and Grey Room are doubles, Blue Room is a twin and Yellow Room is versatile and can switch between being super-king or twin rooms, depending on group preferences. We also have two travel cots which can be set up prior to arrival, for any little ones.

Downstairs in the barn, there is an open plan kitchen/snug, fabulous for families and groups of friends and full of all the essentials and featuring a farmhouse style dining table which seats all 8 comfortably. Adjoining the kitchen there is a living room/tv room.

The additional benefit of downstairs is the wet room, straight ahead as you come in the front door, it is perfect for sandy surfers after a long day at the beach.

In the garden there is a large patio area with seating, BBQ, and a spacious lawn area. Children will love the playground, which has a football net, swings, a slide, swing ball, netball hoop and an adorable wooden playhouse.

Guests can also use the utility room, which is accessed via the garden and houses the washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as a handy storage area.

Interaction with guests -Jean who kindly looks after Higher Forda for us will also pop over the morning after you arrive to ensure everything is ok.

Our preferred check-in day is Friday, however in the off-peak season, should you wish to have more flexible dates, please do get in touch and we will see what we can do.

We are also easily contacted via email throughout your stay - Higherforda@gmail.com

Fantastic Holiday
Stunning barn, located in the middle of wildest Devon and allows easy access to the beach, beautiful walks, plenty to do and crucially a quiet, peaceful and stunning existence when you return to the barn. It was equipped with everything we needed and is kept to a very high standard. The facilities layout has been cleverly thought through the enable entertaining space and private bedrooms. Absolutely superb

About the host

Hosted by Lauren

Host profile image
Hi,
We're Bob and Lauren, the owners of Higher Forda Barn.
Bob is originally from Wales and I am from N.Ireland. We currently live in Berkshire with our Fox red lab Indie - who you might spot in some pictures.

Why they chose this property

Once you drive through the gate it's pretty obvious why we fell in love with Higher Forda. I dare you not to feel the same!

What makes this property unique

1. The View - especially looking out of the floor to ceiling windows first thing in the morning with a cup of tea. I also love that we are not over-looked.

2. The Space - Our families and friends are scattered all over the place, we wanted a home that families and friends could come together and easily socialise & eat together, but yet had enough space that you could have some quiet chill out time as well.

3. Great garden for Children - We knew clients would love this and it is slightly off to the side, so if are a group of adults, it doesn't interrupt the view.
