We have fantastic news to share with you! Bumbles Barn in North Devon has scooped the esteemed Visit England Rose Award 2024! This is one of the most respected and sought after British tourism awards – competition is high, so congratulations go to all at Bumbles Barn.
Bumbles Barn is a luxury group holiday house with its own hot tub, set on a private estate set in a picturesque valley in North Devon not far from Ilfracombe. 5 bedrooms sleep 10 with room for 1 extra guest (additional charge), interiors are stylish with striking triple height vaulted wood ceilings, and the far-reaching views are spectacular. It’s a fantastic place to stay for big family holidays and peaceful celebrations with the people you love most in the world.
Guests staying at Bumbles Barn have access to the fantastic onsite facilities, including an indoor pool, a games room with table football and table tennis, soft play for younger children, an outdoor play area with a wooden pirate ship, and for relaxation or cocktails at sunset, The Lookout. You can stroll through the meadows and orchards and around the pond, pick homegrown produce from the kitchen garden and green house, and have fun playing football, cricket, badminton, tennis, and mini golf. For moments of mindfulness, there are yoga classes – this is a place with something for everyone!
The estate is home to lots of animals including alpacas, pygmy goats and sheep; you’ll see chickens roaming free and peacocks proudly strutting, children can get close up to the cute little guinea pigs, and in the spring, there are lambs to bottle feed.
With so much on the estate to see and do, you don’t really need to go anywhere else, but if you do, there are family attractions within easy reach, like Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park, Watermouth Castle and Exmoor Zoo. The sandy beaches at Croyde, Woolacombe and Saunton Sands are known for the superb surf, some of the best in the country. There are also several good country pubs and restaurants in the local area.
Only 100 Visit England Rose Awards are given each year, across the accommodation sector in England, which includes hotels, B&Bs, camping and glamping sites. Competition is strong and those establishments that receive this award have to consistently demonstrate the highest levels of service in welcoming guests and providing an outstanding visitor experience. Big congratulations go to the owners and team at Bumbles Barn on this outstanding achievement.
