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. It is a pet free, adult-only site

Travel down our long farm drive through farmland to discover this beautiful large, light and spacious one-bedroom barn providing luxury accommodation perfect for those relaxing breaks. The Stables at RyePark House is peaceful and rural yet just a short drive from Barnstaple and the coast.

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, are both part of the old stone farmyard but do not overlook each other and are completely private. The owner’s farmhouse is situated close by, so you have the reassurance of help should you need anything. Privacy is always guaranteed.

The Stables with its mezzanine bedroom with super king bed, exposed beams, vaulted ceiling and stunning wet room bathroom with separate bath and rainfall shower, combines the timeless beauty of the area with all the essentials of modern living. Boasting a wood burning stove. FREE Wi-Fi both SUPERFAST and unlimited and the luxury of underfloor heating, we aim to make your stay at The Stables as relaxing as possible, everything you need is provided- including, several pantry items , toiletries, all linen (100% Egyptian cotton), soft towels, robes and even slippers.

The large open plan interior includes a fully fitted kitchen with high standard appliances including a dishwasher, microwave, washer/dryer, Neff oven and induction hob, separate dining area, with seating for 2, and a cosy lounge area providing a French Connection sofa and chair, large 43" flat screen internet TV with Freeview Play and chromcast and a stunning wood burning stove perfect for those quiet relaxing nights in (board games are even provided!). Off the lounge on the ground floor is the large wet room bathroom with a walk-in power shower with fantastic rain fall head, double ended deep bath with shower attachment, heated towel rail and underfloor heating.

The extremely spacious bedroom on the mezzanine floor and is calm and peaceful with a super-king bed with luxury mattress and plush bedding all 100% Egyptian cotton giving you that peaceful night’s sleep you’ve been looking for. This room also has a 43" flat screen smart TV with Freeview Play.

Outside on the south facing terrace you will find a table and chairs for alfresco dining and more comfortable rattan furniture, with views over the orchard and woodland a private and relaxing space with a BBQ.

Stay in and just relax in the calm atmosphere and reconnect with nature or take a stroll through our nature reserve or along the riverbank, up into the wood or stop at one of our picnic areas. On your way pause and watch the chickens or have a cuddle with our hand raised, tame sheep! And in the evening curl up on the comfy sofa with a good book or watch a film, followed by a peaceful soak in the bath. Or sit on the terrace and as Exmoor National Park is an International Dark Sky Reserve and home to some of the darkest skies in the country wrap yourself up in a blanket and gaze up at the stars, really special and quite spectacular.

Go on, treat yourself to some quality time for you - you deserve it.

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

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!

Schon bei der Vorbereitung des Urlaubes wie auch beim Aufenthalt in Rye Park wurden wir sehr professionell und herzlich begleitet. Die Erwartungen wurden übertroffen. Wir haben uns sehr "willkommen" und wohl gefühlt. Wir konnten entspannen und unseren Urlaub genießen. Dazu beigetragen haben die sehr netten Vermieter, die z.B. gute Tipps vermittelt haben, aber auch die sehr hochwertige luxuriöse Wohnung, die mit vielen liebevollen Details ausgestattet wurde (z.B. frisch gepflückter Blumenstrauß,Willkommenskorb mit Leckereien,tolle Badewanne,bequemes riesiges Bett) und die atemberaubende Natur (Ruhe,Vogelgezwitscher). Wir würden diese Wohnung auf jedem Fall weiterempfehlen.

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.

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.

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.
