Multi Award Winning Honeysuckle Barn, Torquay, Dogs Welcome. Allocated Parking

Set in its own conservation area in Barton, one of the historic villages that make up the popular seaside town of Torquay, South Devon; Honeysuckle is a beautiful Barn lovingly restored, with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, tucked away behind the 15th Century Devon longhouse, 'The Old Manor Farmhouse'

Together with Sweet Rose (1 bedroom cottage) and Threshing Barn (4 bedrooms), the 3 properties form ’Pilgrims Rest Cottages’; multi-award-winning, including ‘Most Pet Friendly’, that have been welcoming guests since 2009.

With countryside to the north, the coast to the east and all that Torquay, The English Riviera, and its nearby surrounds have to offer, historical guests have found it to be an ideal location for their stay – with the local shops, a stroll away, an added bonus. Martin and Kim (the owners) personal information folders, revealing countless gems in the area (walks, eateries, pubs, attractions, beaches…), enhance guests’ stays further.

Honeysuckle is a gem of a barn. Comfortably sleeping up to 4 guests plus infants, it makes an ideal base for families, couples, or friends looking to explore the English Riviera. With access to the shared courtyard and old walled orchard garden, this secure outdoor space also makes Honeysuckle the perfect choice for those who wish to bring their four-legged friends along. The same style and comfort that runs throughout this lovely collection of properties can be seen in Honeysuckle, and on the first floor you will find two beautiful double bedrooms which can be configured as super king beds or separated to twins based on your preferences. Beautiful furnishings and oak beams, and a bathroom. The stunning open plan lounge, dining room and fully equipped kitchen are found downstairs.

Parking and Property
From your allocated, off lane, parking for 1 car (with extra parking available on the lane alongside Pilgrims Rest), you will walk down a path through two white picket gates into the barns’ courtyard with white bistro tables and chairs, and ornate plant pots. Honeysuckle’s entrance is directly opposite the last gate you walk through.

Upon entering the property, you will be met with a cosy open plan lounge / dining room and kitchen; all decorated in warm colours, exposed beams, and oak pillars.

Up a set of historical, newel, spiral stairs, you will discover 2 well-appointed bedrooms and a family bathroom set into the exposed beams of this converted barn.
