Spacious, luxury, romantic Barn for couples near Exmoor & Coast

If you want to get away from it all, this is the place for you. RyePark House is set on 11 acres and has two one-bedroom cottages and one shepherd's hut. It is an adult-only site.

Travel down our long private drive through farmland to discover this beautiful NEWLY CONVERTED LARGE, LIGHT and spacious one-bedroom barn providing luxury accommodation perfect for those relaxing breaks. The Stables at RyePark House is peaceful and yet just a mile from the local village of Bratton Fleming with its little local shop.

The location is stunning and unique with the feeling of being away from it all. Surrounded by pasture it overlooks an ancient wooded valley with a babbling river, making it a perfect base both for those wishing to just relax and enjoy the barn, its surroundings and beautiful walks from the doorstep and just a short drive for those wanting to explore everything North Devon has to offer from the wild beauty of Exmoor to the beaches of the ‘golden coast’.

Sitting in 11 acres The Stables at RyePark House is completely self-contained. The Old Stables and our other one bedroom cottage, the Barn, property number 6542226, are both part of the old stone farmyard but do not overlook each other and are completely private, The owner’s farmhouse situated close by so you have the reassurance of help should you need anything, privacy is always guaranteed.

Perfect
We adored it! The Stables was so comfortable, absolutely, spotlessly clean and very stylish. Everything you could possibly need had been provided by Maria and Steve and the welcome hamper and flowers were so thoughtful. We loved the walk down the the river even though we didn't make it over to the other side. It was just so peaceful there. The private outside area was also comfortable and peaceful. The location is just right, close to beautiful Exmoor and the very interesting coast. Barnstaple for supermarket shopping wasn't too far way. Maria and Steve were perfect hosts, friendly and discreet but always there if you needed them.

Staycation 23
The stables has provided us with exactly what we were looking for great accommodation and tranquil surroundings. Maria and Steve have put so much thought into the finish within the Stables, it’s amazing. Everything is completed to the highest standard. We have stayed at a number of cottages over the past decade and in our opinion the Stable is the best accommodation that we have stayed in . This was our first time in North Devon and even though the weather was not the best this did not detract from our experience, with there being plenty to do within a short drive

Super accommodation in lovely location
We had a great stay here. The accommodation was very well-equipped and luxurious, with a huge bed, wet room with bath and excellent shower, kitchen with everything that was required, and well-lit comfortable sitting area with TV, games etc. Maria was extremely helpful and we couldn't have asked for more. We would certainly be happy to stay here again.

5 STAR RELAXATION *****
Not only is this property beautifully furnished to a very high standard but Maria & Steve provided a very warm & friendly welcome aswell as providing some very informative tips and information to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. The Stables is located in a woodland/farmland area but is only approx 20mins from the nearby town and coastline with a variety of activities/ places to visit. Overall a very relaxing experience with beautiful surroundings and outstanding accommodation - You will not be disappointed in choosing to stay here

OUTSTANDING
The Stables is by far the best rental accommodation we have stayed in. The directions provided were clear and accurate, and the Guest Guide file was comprehensive & complete. We were greeted by the very friendly host with various welcoming items too long to list (examples include Prosecco, a bunch of beautiful wild flowers, scones with strawberry jam & clotted cream - to name a few). The furnishings, appliances and utensils are all impeccable and there are special thoughtful touches everywhere to make you feel welcome and at home. The bed is big and comfortable and there are more than enough towels including bath sheets which were very welcome after relaxing in the beautiful big bath. We enjoyed a wonderful week and will certainly be back in the near future.

Fantastic escape from everything
My wife and I wanted a short break to get away from the hustle and bustle of work and everything going on in the world and Maria and her property were just what we needed, we are even looking at booking again and taking my wife’s grandparents. The stables cottage was fab it had everything , Maria took us out to meet and feed the sheep and gave us a background of the property, recommended places to eat and see , we walked through the woods on the day we left and I was provided with some boots again by Maria as I didn’t have any!! She was a fantastic host and we were made to feel very welcome highly recommend

Honeymoon getaway
This property was perfect for our honeymoon. We were greeted by Maria and her husband who were very welcoming and friendly, we felt if we needed anything they would be more than happy to help. The area had a lovely area to walk and explore and then not far away are the beaches. We also visited Exmoor Zoo nearby which was lovely. The property itself was stunning and we didn't really want to leave, the beams were amazing and the bathroom was a favourite! We had food one evening in a local pub - the black venus inn - stunning! However the last 2 nights we stayed in as we loved the property so much! We look forward to hopefully visiting again in the future.

The perfect honeymoon
We were lucky enough to stay in the stables for a week after our original honeymoon to New York was cancelled. It is a really beautiful property, converted to a very high standard with everything you could need for a comfortable stay and lots of personal touches to make it feel very special. The surrounding woodland is just magical to explore and the property is tucked away and so peaceful yet easily accessible and near to the stunning North Devon coast - the perfect location. We even got one clear night and could star gaze on the patio! Maria was so welcoming and friendly, we felt instantly at home. Thank you so much for helping making our honeymoon so special and memorable, we will definitely be back!
