  • "Delighted with the Milking Shed."

    Very comfortable with quality touches including lovely bed linen. Could not fault the property. Sloop Inn closer on foot than we estimated. Bantham and coast path walks nearby which why we booked.

  • "The cottage is lovely."

    Very cosy and well furnished. Everything you need is provided, including soap and washing up liquid. The back garden is lovely and sunny, perfect for dogs, too. We enjoyed eating our meals in the garden and catching the sun on the comfy sun loungers. The location is beautiful, very private and quiet, but still only minutes away from the beautiful Bantham beach. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back one day.

  • "The Milking Shed is super."

    If one thing could have made it absolutely perfect it would be a hot tub. Great location for dog walk down the lane to the beach and local pub.

  • "We had a fantastic stay at the milking shed."

    Liza and Guy were the best hosts we have ever had, really friendly and genuinely interested in whether we had everything we needed, and were happy. Liza discovered I had a love of swimming as does she and took me early morning sea swimming with her. We had the best weekend and will definitely go back next year!

  • "A great stay!"

    In a well appointed home that would be hard to surpass and that's located in a spot equally so. The welcome wine, olives and local chilli jam were very appreciated after a very long drive, Instructions for the house were detailed and left nothing to chance. It was lovely to meet Guy the owner and we wish he and his wife Lisa, all the very best for the future. We hope to stay again!

The property

The Old Milking Shed is an immaculately presented, beautifully converted barn.

Just a 15 minute walk from the popular sandy beach of Bantham, and a five minute 'stagger' from the 14th Century pub, The Sloop, the property has been sensitively developed as an annex to the adjacent owner's accommodation, sleeping up to six adults.

Original features including stonework and oak beams have been retained, whilst contemporary fittings, the latest appliances and beautiful bathrooms have been added to create a stylish coastal retreat.

The property offers a sociably-located kitchen with Siemens appliances, and open-plan living/dining areas perfect for entertaining, including a comfortable sitting room with wood-burning stove for cosy nights in, and a delightful sunroom for enjoying your morning coffee!

The accommodation is presented over two floors, with three good sized bedrooms (including the master bedroom on the ground floor), all offering stylish en suite facilities.

With a private, South-West facing garden, plenty of parking for 2-3 cars and a small dinghy or boat trailer, and an outside shower for rinsing off sandy dogs or children after a day at the beach, the property makes the ideal base for a seaside break all year round.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
