Description

Coombe Farmhouse is truly a property of grand design. The holiday location comprises not just one barn, but a cluster of old stone barns beautifully and carefully converted to high specification and nestling around a central courtyard which is planted with sweet-smelling lavender. They are set in a tranquil, rural location, a short drive from the little Edwardian town of Modbury and about 5 miles from sandy beaches. Coombe Farmhouse offers extensive accommodation and superb sound and vision equipment - ideal for a special family gathering. Holidays over Christmas and New Year would be wonderful spent here, as well as short breaks in the winter months - the location is truly rural, and offers complete peace and tranquillity. It is surrounded by fields and woodland and set in a slightly elevated position facing south. Facilities include a separate cinema room adjoining the living room (with an overhead projector, large screen and superb KEF sound equipment). There is also a small indoor heated swimming pool, with resistance wave action and patio doors which open on to the courtyard garden. The detached, main house comprises four very spacious en-suite bedrooms plus the detached guest annexe situated just across the courtyard. The guest annexe is a lovely two-storey barn - perfect for grandparents or a couple with a baby. Wall-mounted flatscreen TVs with DVD and full Sky package feature in all bedrooms. Modbury is a small town in the South Hams in Devon, surrounded by rolling hills, wooded glades and winding country lanes, where visitors will find a cluster of independent shops and locally produced Devon food and drink. There are some farms in the area selling fresh local produce, as well as a local vineyard and a chocolate maker. Modbury is a very attractive and convenient base for a holiday or short break to explore this area of South Devon. There are lovely sandy beaches to be found at Bigbury-on-Sea, just 3 miles to the south. Other popular beaches include Mothecombe, Bantham, Thurlestone and Challaborough, which are all popular with families, and all busy with watersports in the summer. Horse riding is available locally and, for golfers, there are two good golf clubs nearby. The A38 is just 10 minutes away, making travel to other areas easy. From this route, most of South Devon can be explored and on across the Tamar Bridge into Cornwall. The edge of Dartmoor - awesome, beautiful and mysterious - is only 5 miles to the north and has dramatic, open spaces; it always makes a popular tourist destination. There is much to do and see in this area, with something to suit family members of all ages. Alternatively, guests will be pleased to simply just stay put at Coombe Farmhouse and enjoy a totally relaxing holiday spending quality time together as a family. Shops 2 miles, pubs 3 miles.
