Luxury Devon Barn with Hot Tub & Meadow Views

We're Alison and Ian, and we live next door to Walnut Tree Barn with Rhani our friendly Cockapoo, and Cleo our curious cat.

We love living in the beautiful Devon countryside and enjoy everything the area has to offer, from country walks and local pubs to exploring the coast and nearby national parks. Hosting gives us the opportunity to share this special corner of Devon with guests and help them create wonderful memories with family and friends.

We like to welcome guests shortly after they arrive to make sure everything is just right, then we'll leave you to enjoy your stay in peace. If you need anything during your visit or would like recommendations for places to eat, walk or explore, we're always happy to help.

Alison grew up on the family dairy farm, and after spending several years living elsewhere, we decided to return to the place we both love and make it our home. We lovingly converted the old sheep barn and mill into our family home before transforming the former cow shed into Walnut Tree Barn, creating a spacious and welcoming holiday retreat where guests can experience the peace and beauty of the Devon countryside.

We chose to return because of the wonderful lifestyle this area offers. Surrounded by rolling countryside, quiet lanes and beautiful walking trails, it's a place where you can truly slow down and relax.

At the same time, we're just a few minutes from the historic market town of Crediton and only a short drive from Exeter, Dartmoor, Exmoor and both the North and South Devon coastlines.

Whether you're looking for scenic walks, cosy country pubs, sandy beaches or simply somewhere peaceful to unwind in the hot tub, we think Mid Devon is the perfect base for exploring everything the county has to offer.

Walnut Tree Barn is full of surprises. From the outside, it blends naturally into its rural surroundings, retaining the character of the original farm buildings. Step inside, however, and you'll discover a wonderfully light, spacious and calming interior, with vaulted ceilings, tasteful contemporary décor and generous open-plan living spaces designed for relaxing together.

One of our favourite features is the enclosed garden. It feels peaceful and secluded while enjoying uninterrupted views across Oak Tree Meadow, where the River Yeo gently winds through the valley. Whether you're soaking in the hot tub, dining on the patio or simply watching the changing seasons and local wildlife, it's a place that invites you to slow down and enjoy the tranquillity of the Devon countryside.

The combination of rural charm, modern comfort, four flexible ensuite bedrooms and an idyllic countryside setting makes Walnut Tree Barn a truly special place for families and groups to reconnect and create lasting memories.
