Nestled among lovingly maintained gardens, situated down a dead end country lane, Willows Rest is a three-hundred-year-old former barn, architecturally magnificent and now painstakingly converted into a spacious and pretty self-catering space. Judiciously updated to bring twenty-first century luxuries to a historic and charming building, Willows Rest offers everything you need for a restorative and magical time away in South Devon, whether you're a large family, a wedding party, or a group of old friends reuniting.
On the first floor, the main living space is truly extraordinary, with a high vaulted ceiling and exposed timber rafters arching high over a light and airy space, arranged on an open plan basis. From the kitchen space with its stylish cabinetry and ultra-modern cooking equipment to the other end of the room, where you'll find low sofas arranged around a wood-burning stove, everything about this central space is exquisite in its design and finishes. The tiling is elegant, the lighting is subtle and contemporary, and the atmosphere throughout is of clean lines and uncluttered space.
Below it, on the ground floor you'll find the bedrooms, five substantial and characterful rooms which share the house's strong aesthetic, each with their own distinctive style. Two have en-suite shower rooms for added privacy, and the main bedroom has its own large bathroom with a majestic rolltop bath tub where you can enjoy a luxurious soak after a long day. Making use of elegant wallpaper, freestanding furniture and subtle decor, the bedrooms are a real delight to occupy, in particular bedroom five, which opens onto its very own private courtyard space.
As well as the marvellous barn, there is space for two more guests in the cottage next door. This is a one bedroom self contained cottage that provides guests with a sense of peace and calm away from the main barn. The cottage is just as stylishly decorated as the barn and features a comfy lounge and a fully equipped kitchen downstairs. Upstairs sits a bedroom with a king size bed and luxurious bathroom with a bath and shower.
Step outside and you will discover the fabulous gardens and grounds of Willows Rest. Here you can light up the BBQ and dine al fresco, whilst the children run around in the enclosed garden. Guests are also sure to love the indoor heated swimming pool where you can enjoy a morning swim or play with the young ones throughout the day.
From the moment you approach Willows Rest and behold the grounds in full bloom, the light on the lawns, and the imposing stone barn itself, you can tell that you're going to be staying in a profoundly beautiful home. With its upside-down design, no compromise approach to interior decor and extraordinary gardens, Willows Rest really is fabulous.
While homebodies will have plenty to entertain them within the house and grounds, Willows Rest is ideally located for beach day trips, whether to dunes of Bantham or Bigbury with its island you can walk to in low tide. Families also adore the estuary at Salcombe, with its nearby town known for great pubs and fish and chips. Walkers can set off from the house itself, or drive to nearby Dartmoor to take in the rugged, dramatic topography with a lengthy hike. The New Inn pub is less than a mile away, and ideal for a pint of local cider and a great steak, while the towns of Totnes and Kingsbridge offer everything from fantastic tapas at Ben's to great Japanese food at Flour and Rice.
