The Barley Store.

Striking that dream balance between remote but accessible, close to the sea but away from the crowds, this beautifully simple cabin hides in stunning Devon countryside. More specifically, in its very own wildflower meadow, which you’ll have all to yourself. Allowing a total disconnect there’s no power, WiFi or phone reception, which allows a reconnect with each other and the surrounding nature. Just what we all need after lockdown. So gorgeous in its pared-back design, there’s Stiffkey-Blue panelling, little posies of wildflowers, and boho cushions on the benches out front, a perfect spot for reading in the sunshine. You’ll find all the comforts you need but nothing extraneous.

Sleep deeply in the super-comfy bed then wake to a breakfast hamper with eggs, bread and charcuterie made on the farm. You can spend your days strolling through corn fields and lolling on Jurassic Coast beaches, and head to fabulous local eateries for lunch (kicked off by Hugh F-W, this area is a real foodie hotspot). And later, as swallows swoop and the sun begins to set, settle into the swing seat under the ash tree with a bottle of English wine. Life’s simple pleasures are the most rewarding.

Getting here: you’ll need to drive.
