Set just across the estuary bridge from the tiny village of Aveton Gifford, Willowplatt Barn is perfectly placed to explore this popular holiday area, with the long sandy beaches of Bantham, Bigbury and Thurlestone all less than 5 miles; drive. Aveton Gifford has a cosy pub and village shop, and the nearby towns of Kingsbridge and Salcombe offer a wide range of shops, bars and restaurants, and are also hubs for sailing and other water-based activities.
Voted UK national winner of 'Best UK Conversion 2021' in the LABC Awards, Willowplatt Barn, is a Devon stone barn dating back to 1787, recently converted into this stunning, peaceful, reverse-level contemporary home, designed to complement the surrounding AONB in this secluded tributary valley above the River Avon estuary.
Willowplatt Barn is brimming with character, warmth and charm and is a great choice for a big family or friends. Dont miss the fabulous Barbecue Lodge within the grounds, which provides the perfect place for a cosy winter evening with twinkly lights and the warmth of the central barbecue whilst rustling up some sausages, or in summer for use as a beautiful outdoor garden room as well as of course, for those gorgeous evening gatherings.
(Please note: Children aged 6 years and under (including babes in arms) regretfully can't be accommodated here, as the ironwork staircase and hallway steps cannot be fitted with stairgates.) The property is surrounded by beautiful walking country, and a five minute walk leads down to the estuary and its Devon Wildlife Trust Reserve. Here you can access the 8-mile circular Avon Estuary Walk, which connects with the South West Coastal Path at Bantham. Reached along a quarter-mile largely unmetalled farm track, the barn is situated on a no-through road, so there is no passing traffic other than those visiting the neighbouring property some 200 metres further along the track. Architect designed and craftsman built, Willowplatt Barn - taken from an old farming name for ‘the place where the willows grow; - is a charming place to stay with family or a group of friends at any time of year.
There is wifi or internet access available at Willowplatt Barn in Aveton Gifford. Perfect for searching for things to do whilst on holiday, catching up on emails or even work if you have to.
On nice days, when you want to relax you can sit out in Willowplatt Barn's garden and enjoy the sun shine. Children also love the outdoors so it can be a great place for them. Although, with young children you should always check any garden is safe for them.
Why waste part of your holiday doing the washing up. Willowplatt Barn has a dishwasher installed to save you time, and family arguements, about the washing up. Everybody hates doing the washing up and the last thing you need is a big family arguement about who is going to do the washing up while you are on holiday.
