The Old Piggery, Kerswell Farm - Self-catering barn in Devon
Parkham Ash, Bideford, EX39 5PR, Devon
England,
Regno Unito
Peace and quiet reign at your 19th-century barn, where nothing but birdsong disturbs you. Set among 28 acres of conservation land, including lakes, woods and meadows, it's perfect for a close group of friends or a couple seeking a romantic break.
You'll feel at home in the light-filled open-plan living/kitchen/dining area, its local fabrics and art adding character and the wood-burner making everything wonderfully cosy. Bedrooms (one king size, one twin) have gorgeous pure wool Devon duvets and line-dried sheets. They share a spotless modern shower room. The kitchen is well equipped and you're left local milk and butter, home-baked bread, eggs, wine and snacks.
Dogs are welcomed with treats, towels and an outside shower for muddy days. Wander to the orchard (help yourselves to apples in season) then down to the lakes for a glass of wine and some bird spotting, or simply light the barbecue and sizzle something delicious for supper.

Local points of interest from Elaine & Adrian Arnold:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Elaine & Adrian Arnold:
- Explore the 28 beautiful acres at Kerswell Farm. Lakes, woodland, culm meadow and a big field for letting dogs run free. The lakes are so peaceful and the wildlife is amazing! Just sit, enjoy the dragonflies over the waterlilies and feel yourself unwind.
- The variety and numbers of birds around the land is astonishing - every type of tit imaginable, finches galore, woodpeckers, waterfowl, jays and of course our resident owls never fail to entertain. Plenty of good spots to watch from.
- Some of the very best North Devon beaches are close by; spectacular Bucks Mills, Sandymouth, Welcombe Mouth, Northam Burrows and Peppercombe to name just a few. Fabulous for surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, walks, beachcombing and rock-pooling!
- Quaint Clovelly is just 10 minutes away with its steep cobbled streets leading down to the ancient harbour. Festivals like crab and lobster and herring are regularly held and it's a great place to spend a day. Visit the walled garden at Clovelly Court too.
- Spectacular gardens abound in the area, RHS Rosemoor, Docton Mill, Hartland Abbey and Marwood Hill gardens are all wonderful and full of ideas to inspire you. Discover the great variety of local cafes and pubs along the way for a sustaining break!
- The skies here are truly dark and stargazing is a real treat on a clear night. Lie back with a blanket and a warming drink and just marvel at what is above you (so romantic). Use our binoculars to bring the stars and moon even closer...
