The Barn and Pinn Cottage is 500 years old. We have refurbished it with loving care and consideration for both our guests and the property.
Everything has been done in keeping with the character of the cottage. We can cater for many different people but by the nature of the building most of the bedrooms are not large and it is not suitable for severely disabled guests. Our most accessible room is Room 6. The Barn and Pinn Cottage is located a 5 minute drive away from the seafront of Sidmouth and are situated in the countryside with beautiful walks directly from our doorstep.
There is a pavement from our property round to the bus stop at the top of our garden. The Barn and Pinn Cottage is situated in the middle of its 2 acre gardens so it is set well back from the main road. The beautiful gardens at the front gently slope up to the road with flat paths around the cottage.
The paths are of block paving and flagstones. This is a mainly flat site with only a small slope to the private car park at the back which has 10 numbered bays. Each room has an allocated space. The driveway and car park is tarmac. Guests can be dropped off by the front door if they wish.
The entrance is level‚ the doorway width is 810mm (32") there are gardens surrounding the property and seating areas both in the front garden and also at the back .
There is a smaller garden which has a gently sloping gravel pathway just by the pond‚ leading to a really peaceful sunny area for our guests.
Next to this garden‚ to one side of the property there is a private garden (separated into 2) for the sole use of our guests staying in our Luxury rooms which are 9 & 10.
