Description
Nestled within the heart of Northlew, a chocolate box village in Devon is Becket's Barn, a sympathetically-restored, reverse-level barn conversion.
Resting paces away from the village pub, whilst within driving distance of Dartmoor National Park, Becket's Barn offers a fabulous base for a rural getaway, inviting for guests.
Within the courtyard of a medieval farmhouse, the accommodation boasts two off-road parking spaces, a hot tub for the exclusive use of guests, a private dining terrace, and a snug seating area complete with firepit for nights spent under the starry sky.
Step indoors to be greeted by a stunning, spiral staircase, guiding you up to the open-plan living space, adorned with hand-crafted oak roof trusses, and a contemporary interior.
Use this space to prepare delicious meals in the sleek kitchen, dine as a four, and unwind upon the Chesterfield sofas, selecting between the Smart TV and projector for entertainment.
Step out onto the balcony to take in the breath-taking views across the beautiful ancient churchyard whilst you dine alfresco and toast to your getaway to the accompaniment of glorious birdsong.
As the sun sets, retreat to the ground floor where you'll find two, well-appointed double bedrooms, both featuring exposed stonework, plush bedding, and decadent en-suite shower rooms, providing plenty of space to refresh and unwind.
Come morning, head to the neighbouring market town of Hatherleigh to stock up on supplies at the Co-Op, before you travel to nearby Okehampton to tour the Museum of Dartmoor Life, discover the remains of Okehampton Castle, practise your swing at Okehampton Golf Club, or hike around the landscape of Meldon Viaduct.
Head for the national park, brimming with beauty spots, with the Black-a-Tor Copse National Nature Reserve ready to be explored, or follow the walking trail up to Higher Tor for picturesque, elevated views across the county.
Pay a visit to Lydford, where you can stroll around Lydford Gorge, with the Devil's Cauldron Trail recognised as a favoured route to follow, resting alongside River Lyd, or opt for a more leisurely activity by visiting Lydford Gorge Alpacas, before returning home for sundowners.
If you're celebrating a special occasion, round off your break with a chauffeur-driven evening out in the owners’ beautiful classic 1947 Riley RMA car to dine at one of the fine local pubs or restaurants before heading back to Becket’s for a night cap on the balcony.

What guests are saying
A beautifully comfy modern Barn.
We had a lovely, relaxing stay And enjoyed the Hot Tub and cinema screen. The view from the balcony is stunning and The local pub was very welcoming.
Becket's Barn was an amazing place to stay.
Everything had been thoughtfully designed and was a comfortable, quiet, and relaxing place to stay. The kitchen was fully equipped (there was even milk and a cream tea ready when we arrived), alongside towelling dressing gowns to use for the hot tub. Nothing had been missed. Our hosts, Weena and Shaun were very helpful and made us very welcome. We found the property an ideal location to visit different parts of Devon, but you still have to remember a considerable number of its roads are narrow! We would also recommend the village pub, the Green Dragon, for its food, very reasonable prices, and for for it friendly local welcome.
Our second stay at this fabulous cottage.
This time with family who both really enjoyed the unique feel of the place. Owners Weena and Shaun were both at hand and were friendly and helpful as before. Can’t really fault this place it’s the best for all aspects of a great cottage holiday.
