The Barn, Old Manor Farm - 625
About the home
History meets modern day luxuries in this beautifully restored barn at Old Manor Farm. The Barn is part of The Old Manor Farmhouse, a 16th Century Devon longhouse, and has retained much original character such as stunning oak beams enfolded by the cob and stone structure and high, beamed vaulted ceilings.
Modern luxuries have been introduced such as king-size beds, roll top baths, Freeview TV/DVDs and washing machines to name a few. If you feel like a spot of indulgence there is pampering available on-site such as massages, manicures, pedicures or facials.
The Barn is especially ideal for the extended family, two families holidaying together as it can sleep up to 8 (plus infants) and the main beds can be configured as required. There is a large communal garden enclosed with stone walls and apple trees from the old orchard, BBQ area with furniture and a trampoline for the children. Ample parking is also available.
The Barn is excellently situated within Torquay where you will find a diverse range of activities available to you whether you're into the country side, beaches, shops, restaurants, cinemas, theatres, bars, clubs, golf, sailing, tennis, squash, diving, fishing, tenpin and green bowling, saunas, steam rooms, jacuzzis and pools! Whether you like to walk, rest or play there is something for all.
Nearby there is an excellent selection of local shops while Torquay town centre, the harbour and beaches are a short drive away. Watcombe Beach is 1/2 mile away and offers free parking at the top of the incline allowing you to access either the South West Coast path or the beach.
The beach at Watcombe is accessed via a fairly steep slope however provides spectacular scenery and secluded beach with a beach cafe. It is dog friendly all year round. If you don’t want the walk down, try one of Torquays other 21 beaches, with Oddicombe and its tram just along to the right.
Take the coast path and admire the stunning scenery - in one direction Maidencombe and in the other St Marychurch and Oddicombe beach.
Please note: The Barn can be booked together with Honeysuckle and Sweet Rose to accommodate up to 14.

The Torquay area
The heart of the town is the harbour which is lined with cafes, bars and restaurants; a great place to watch the world go by. From here, take a pleasant stroll along the marina with the area’s trademark palm trees, or hop on a boat for a cruise across the bay or round to Dartmouth. The Living Coasts, The Princess Theatre and Pavilion shops are also located here. Torquay is rich in Victorian architecture and identity as the country’s first ‘resort’.
Torquay is host to many more attractions, including Babbacombe Model Village, Kents Cavern, Torquay Museum. Or take a trip back through time to Cockington Village where thatched roofs prevail and watch a blacksmith working in the 14th Century forge.
Those looking for a beach will not be disappointed either. Torquay is the ‘sandcastle capital of the UK’ offering the ideal mix of sand and water, according to research conducted by Bournemouth University. With five Torquay beaches currently holding Blue Flag Awards for cleanliness and quality, you really are spoilt for choice.
