The Corn Tallet
Description
2 miles from Bideford, quietly situated on the edge of a valley, is Pillhead Farm, a 130 acre working sheep farm with paddocks and plenty of space for guests to roam. Within the original farmstead are four cottages carefully converted from barns and the oldest part of the original farmhouse. The cottages share the grounds, a splendid outdoor heated swimming pool (15' x 30' x 4' to 5' deep) with paddling pool (10' x 9' x 1'6" deep), available from the Friday immediately preceding the last bank holiday in May to the first Friday in September, a sunbathing terrace (loungers) and mown orchard. Each cottage is individual and spacious and quite separate from the others, with its own outside space. Arrival after 5pm. The Corn Tallet is reverse-level with a private hot tub. From your garden area (picnic table), 10 stone steps up to door (low lintel) into fitted kitchen (dishwasher, washing machine, tumble drier, microwave, fridge-freezer, electric cooker) with breakfast table/chairs. Large living/dining room with a sense of space, wonderful beams to apex, TV/DVD and door (4 steps down) to garden. Stairs (stairgate) down to three bedrooms - step down to a double with four-poster bed, TV and en suite shower-room (suite), and a twin (zip-linkable to 6' double), both with French windows and 2 steps up to a further twin with TV. Bathroom (suite, shower over bath, bidet) and separate loo.

What guests are saying
The Corn Tallet is located on a working farm.
You need to be mindful of this re noise. It's conveniently located close to Bideford and Instow. It's dog friendly, but you need to keep them on a lead owing to the proximity of the sheep. You aren't allowed to walk them in the farmer's fields. There isn't a secure area on the farm for dogs to explore off the lead. The accommodation was comfortable, cosy, spacious,clean and tastefully decorated. There is a smart TV with all the channels you need. Mind you, don't sit indoors. Explore what North Devon has to offer. You are blessed with great beaches and marvellous places to eat. You are provided with everything you need for a great stay at the barn. Communication from Kim was great. She was very helpful. There is a hot tub close to the barn, which is an added bonus. Unfortunately, it broke whilst we were there, but Kim called out an engineer and it was fixed later in the day.
One of the best cottages we’ve stayed at.
Exceptionally appointed with everything you would need for a fabulous stay in North Devon. Enclosed garden for the dogs although for longer walks we needed to drive - not a problem when there are so many lovely places within a short distance.
This was beautifully maintained and had lots of lovely facilities such as the pool and hot tub.
Very peaceful and quiet farm and great to see the working elements happening around us during our stay-we loved the sheep! This is our 2nd visit to farm and we will definitely be back and have told lots of friends and family about it too.
