Strawfields. Fantastic rural location. Close to beaches. Games barn and Alpacas.

Hayloft is one of 3 cottages at Strawfields. Strawfields is an 8 acre small holding consisting of our farmhouse, three cottages, shepherd huts and a small rustic campsite. A fantastic location, hidden away in the beautiful North Devon countryside, yet only minutes drive from the sea.
Hayloft is full of character and lots of charming quirky features. The best of both worlds; private and cosy rural location, yet with the added bonus of a games room, trampolines and beaches close by. You can explore the fields, paddle in the streams, toast marshmallows in the fire pit and meet the animals.
Sleeps 2 adults + 2 children
A warm and cosy 16th century cottage with a well equipped kitchen with dishwasher, microwave, oven and electric hob. Open plan sitting/dining room with large sofa and smart TV.
The main bedroom has a double bed, chest of drawers, hanging rail and hair dryer. The second bedroom has bunk beds (shorty bunk beds, 5ft 9 long, suitable for children only) Upstairs WC and shower room.
Hayloft opens onto a large safe gated courtyard for children to play in
the games barn is just across the yard from the cottage so you can relax and watch your children play from the comfort of your sofa.
There is outside seating in the sunny courtyard with BBQ
Strawfields has trampolines, a large fire pit, perfect for star gazing and toasting marshmallows. There is plenty of space to store bikes and boards and a warm drying room for wet suits (available in the cooler months)
Please note: Hayloft cottage has a few unusual quirky C16th characteristics. We’ve yet to find a straight wall in the cottage.​​ ​Hayloft is adjoined to the Farmhouse, but is totally self contained with a private entrance. Please mind your head as you enter the property as there is a low doorway!
​What we provide:
-bed linen, bath towels, tea towels,
-washing up liquid with a cloth, dishwasher tablets, hand wash
-books, puzzles and toys for children
-lots of space to explore
Hayloft is a both child friendly and dog friendly. It suits both couples and families. There are acres to explore and a public footpath runs behind the property that goes to our nearest village, West Down, which boasts an excellent pub and village shop. For children there are a range of toys to suit all ages, including scooters, table tennis, playmobile, lego and 2 sunken trampolines. Our relaxed friendly atmosphere will hopefully ensure that you have a fantastic holiday, however long or short your stay with us. There is so much to see and do, including four wonderful sandy beaches as well as many coves and rock pooling beaches. It is a great place for walking, kayaking, surfing, dune sledging and coasteering. The Tarka trail is very family friendly bike riding route along the coast.
Fantastic location, Woolacombe and Ilfracombe less than 5 miles and Combe Martin, Braunton, Croyde, Exmoor National Park, Lynton and Barnstaple are all within 15/20 mins drive.
Guests are welcome to explore all of the grounds and there is a communal games barn that is shared with two cottages.

amazing place great location

We have just left straw fields and it was An amazing place we stayed with our dog and almost 4 year old. It was perfect location being about 20-30 mins Max from anywhere we made the most of visiting as many places near by as possible. Alex and her family were welcoming inviting us to pizza night when we arrived Saturday. Which was fantastic and such a lovely touch. One of the mornings Alex showed us around the animals and let our little boy feed the alpacas smooth the sheep which he loved and she told us all about the animals personalities. We really enjoyed it and we would definitely return.

Perfect family break

The hayloft is a super cute cottage perfect for our family 2 adults and kids age 5 and 3. It has everything you need and added bonus of toys and books for the kids. Beds were clean and very comfy, was a perfect space downstairs to set up our frenchies crate and fenced off courtyard to let him out to toilet. Strawfields is rustic and beautiful we loved exploring and meeting the animals and the play equipment was great for our children. The hosts were friendly and there if you needed anything they made us very welcome. Location was ideal for all our favourite days out in north Devon! We will visit again :)
