Unique holidays in our converted barns

Hexdown is a collection of beautifully converted farm buildings and barns in Bigbury-on-Sea, South Devon. We have two luxurious stone barn conversions available for self catering holidays, all year round. We live full time in the third barn and are on hand to offer help and advice.

Individual holiday homes

Both holiday barns have been finished to an extremely high standard and contain many individual and interesting features.

Great care has been taken to furnish and equip the barns to create an atmosphere of ‘your home away from home’.

The larger of the two barns, Owl’s Roost, has four bedrooms and can accommodate up to ten people. Sandpiper Lodge, the smaller barn, has two bedrooms and can sleep up to six. Both barns have their own private gardens and ample parking is available. Because of the proximity of the barns to one another, they are ideal for large groups or a number of families wishing to spend time on holiday together.

The immediate area

The holiday homes are situated in a hidden valley reached by a private road shared with Bigbury Golf Club. They have stunning views over the River Avon and surrounding countryside. They are within walking distance of several safe and sandy beaches and also Burgh Island, linked to the mainland by a tidal causeway. The island is a unique spot with its romantic and eccentric Art Deco hotel and 14C inn, ‘The Pilchards’. In addition the village of Bigbury, within a mile’s drive, boasts a further two public houses and two well equipped shops. South Devon in general and in particular the Bigbury Bay area, has great beaches and a wonderful, varied coastline, ideal for walking.

A magical holiday experience

Hexdown provides the ideal holiday base for families wanting a ‘Swallows and Amazons’ type adventure exploring the River Avon, or for energetic types wanting to take part in the sailing, surfing, golf and many other activities the area has to offer.

The magic of Hexdown holiday homes is in its unique location in the heart of an area of outstanding beauty. A long way away from the ‘madding crowds’, nestling at the bottom of a private lane, the atmosphere is one of peace and tranquillity.
