Hoppers Barn | Holsworth Property Photography
A Relaxing Countryside Escape at Dunsdon Farm
Tucked away in the rolling countryside near Holsworthy, Dunsdon Farm offers a peaceful escape for anyone looking to slow down and reconnect with nature. Home to Hoppers Barn, a beautifully converted Victorian shippon, the property combines rustic character with modern comfort in a setting that feels wonderfully secluded without being isolated.
Located close to the Devon and Cornwall border, the farm sits within unspoilt Ruby Country and is only a short drive from the beaches and coastline around Bude, making it an ideal base for both countryside retreats and coastal adventures.
Stylish Accommodation with Character
Hoppers Barn has been thoughtfully designed as a reverse-level property, with the open-plan living space upstairs beneath exposed beams and a vaulted roof. The main living area feels bright and spacious, with comfortable seating, a wood-burning stove and a mezzanine snug area adding to the sense of warmth and character throughout the property.
Downstairs, the barn sleeps up to six guests across three bedrooms, including an en-suite master bedroom and flexible zip-link beds suitable for couples or families. Underfloor heating, modern bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen help create a stay that feels luxurious whilst still retaining the charm of the original building.
Surrounded by Nature
One of the standout features of Dunsdon Farm is the surrounding landscape. Guests have access to acres of woodland, species-rich meadows and open countryside filled with wildlife, wildflowers and walking opportunities. The farm itself sits alongside Dunsdon Nature Reserve, an important area of protected culm grassland managed in partnership with Devon Wildlife Trust.
Whether sitting outside around the firepit, enjoying the enclosed garden or simply taking in the dark skies at night, the setting encourages guests to properly switch off from busy everyday life.
A Perfect Base for Exploring Devon and Cornwall
Although wonderfully peaceful, the location still offers easy access to some of the South West’s best-loved destinations. Bude’s beaches, the South West Coast Path and the surrounding North Devon countryside are all within easy reach, making Hoppers Barn well suited to walkers, surfers, dog owners and families alike.
The property also welcomes dogs, includes EV charging and provides thoughtful touches such as a guest guide iPad, Bluetooth sound system and outdoor cooking facilities, all of which add to the overall experience.
A Hidden Gem in North Devon
For anyone searching for a luxury countryside stay with character, privacy and access to nature, Hoppers Barn at Dunsdon Farm offers something genuinely special. Combining history, wildlife and modern comfort in equal measure, it is the sort of place that encourages guests to slow down and enjoy the surroundings properly.
