The Old Coach House
Entire cottage in Devon, United Kingdom
Tucked away near the enchanting village of Berry Pomeroy, between historic Totnes and the dramatic landscapes of Dartmoor, The Old Coach House is an atmospheric, beautifully restored self-catering barn for peaceful escapes. Set in a private garden surrounded by rolling hills, it blends rustic charm with contemporary comforts for couples, families or friends.
The space
This lovingly converted barn is a sanctuary of low timber beams, exposed stonework, artisan furniture and warm, nature-inspired interiors. Each space is crafted to soothe—think sheepskin rugs, curated earth-tone décor and soft lighting that invites slow mornings and cosy evenings.In winter, curl up by the open fire with a glass of red as the Rayburn warms the heart of the home. In summer, throw open the doors, wander through the private garden and gather seasonal fruit—apples, berries and gooseberries—straight from the trees and bushes.
A Kitchen for Slow Living & Good Food
The classic Rayburn keeps the kitchen warm and welcoming through cooler months, while a separate hob and oven ensure a modern cooking experience. With views of the garden and countryside beyond, it’s an idyllic place to prepare breakfast, cook long lunches or share relaxed family meals.
The barn also benefits from a reverse-osmosis water system, providing exceptionally pure drinking water throughout your stay.
Bedrooms Designed for Rest & Luxury
Head upstairs to discover two beautifully styled bedrooms:
- Master Bedroom
A romantic retreat featuring a custom-made cast-iron king-size bed (with its own steps!), vaulted ceiling, original beams and peaceful countryside views. Drift into a deep sleep surrounded by history and gentle rural quiet.
- Second Bedroom
A spacious and flexible room with zip-and-link beds, allowing setup as a super-king or two singles. This bedroom includes its own private en-suite shower room, ideal for families or friends travelling together.
Please note, we will contact you at the point of booking to find out how you would like the bedrooms configuring for your stay.
- The spa-style family bathroom, accessible from both the landing and master bedroom, features a luxurious bathtub and separate walk-in shower.
Private Garden Sanctuary
Outside, the barn is embraced by a tranquil planted garden—perfect for alfresco dining, reading in the sunshine or wandering through fruit trees in late summer. With countryside views on all sides, it’s a peaceful haven to reconnect with nature.

We absolutely loved our stay here! We felt like we were in the middle of the peaceful countryside but we were just minutes away from the lovely town of Totnes, fabulous cafes and restaurants, lovely riverside walks and a large Morrisons. The house was stunning and the kitchen is very well equipped. The bedrooms are very big and the furniture is excellent quality. Super comfy beds and nice fluffy towels!! We were 4 adults and took all 4 of our dogs and a toddler and there was plenty of room for all of us and a surprisingly large garden too. Lots to do and see in the local area, nice walks and countryside. We enjoyed staying in and playing the board games that were provided too, the house is very cosy and warm in the evenings. We loved it!! Thankyou!

A very spacious barn conversion with two spacious bedrooms which was exactly what we were looking for space wise. . Our only comments would be that the overall feeling was that it was tired and in need of a refresh. We struggled to find two plates that were not chipped, the springs in two of the sofas seemed unsupportive so one sunk almost the floor and the many pots outside that should have provided a colourful and green welcome to the entrance were all full of dead plants. Also the noise from the hot/cold water pipe work in the second bedroom was unpleasantly noisy whenever a tap was turned on in the barn. This is meant more as helpful feedback rather than criticism. We enjoyed our stay.
