The Old Coach House – Romantic Devon Barn with Gardens Near Totnes & Dartmoor | Cottage in Berry Pomeroy, United Kingdom
2 Bedroom Cottage with Internet, Security and Wellness Facilities
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 and beautifully restored self-catering barn designed for peaceful escapes. Set in a private garden and surrounded by rolling hills, this hideaway blends rustic charm with contemporary comforts for couples, families or friends looking to unwind in the heart of South Devon.
A Stylish Take on Country Living
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.

- 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.

- 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
