Strawfields. Fantastic rural location. Close to beaches. Games barn and Alpacas.

Hayloft is one of 3 cottages at Strawfields. Strawfields is an 8 acre small holding consisting of our farmhouse, three cottages, shepherd huts and a small rustic campsite. A fantastic location, hidden away in the beautiful North Devon countryside, yet only minutes drive from the sea.
Hayloft is full of character and lots of charming quirky features. The best of both worlds; private and cosy rural location, yet with the added bonus of a games room, trampolines and beaches close by. You can explore the fields, paddle in the streams, toast marshmallows in the fire pit and meet the animals.
