Harvest Moon - 400-year-old threshing barn

Welcome to Harvest Moon, with plenty of room for eight plus pooch! This beautifully converted threshing barn is thought to be over 400 years old and is bright and airy with contemporary décor and a wonderfully cosy wood burner. The landscape here is truly amazing with numerous countryside walks from the doorstep and the Devon coast within easy reach. This luxury property is the perfect escape for a family, and welcomes two-well behaved dogs. The space Situated on a quiet, semi-working farm in the tiny hamlet of Curscombe, Harvest Moon boasts charming features and is elegantly furnished throughout with great attention to detail. Looking out over lush green fields, numerous countryside walks are on the doorstep, or guests can paddle in the stream and have a picnic. There are wonderful views and an abundance of birdlife, and wildlife, including foxes, deer, badgers and hares, are often spotted whatever time of year you stay!

There's also a separate large sitting room with comfortable sofas and TV which is made cosy with crackle of a wood burning stove, perfect for chilly evenings.
