Description

Moult Hill Barn is a gorgeous, spacious contemporary barn, perfectly created for groups of friends or families to relax in a beautiful rural setting only minutes from the stunning, safe sandy beaches of North and South Sands.

North Sands is also Salcombe’s best all year dog friendly beach with the legendary Winking Prawn beach café. South Sands is made for wild swims, paddleboarding, sandcastles and soaking up the sun. Here you will find two lovely hotels - The Harbour Beach Club with its chilled vibe and luxurious spa (available to non-residents) and South Sands Hotel known for its Devonshire cream teas and beachy bistro vibes.

Hop on the iconic South Sands Ferry from the beach to enjoy Salcombe from the water or take the stunning coastal walk, with its beautiful views overlooking the turquoise water, yachts and golden sands to the centre of the popular sailing town to wander around pretty streets, exploring art galleries and individual shops.

Enjoy fresh Salcombe crab and locally caught seafood at one of the many restaurants or sample some delicious Salcombe Dairy ice cream whilst soaking up the wonderful views.

In the evenings Moult Hill Barn is the perfect location for the setting sun, fire up the Blackstone griddle, cook up a feast, and enjoy al fresco dining. Offering flexible accommodation, Moult Hill Barn is the ideal destination for a large group holiday to the beautiful sailing town of Salcombe.

A stylish front door featuring a porthole leads into a spacious and bright entrance hallway with oak flooring and a high vaulted ceiling, immediately welcoming you into the property.

Large floor-to-ceiling glass windows look into the main living area and wide double glass doors lead into the main living space, whilst an oak and glass open tread staircase rises to the first floor. The main living space is a fabulous open plan, incredibly spacious area with stylish oak flooring throughout, perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying the peace and tranquillity of this countryside location. A beautifully designed kitchen with granite worktops and large central island makes self-catering a pleasure for large numbers, with the benefit of two ovens, two dishwashers and two fridge/freezers. The large dining area features a long wooden table and twelve chairs, with an additional extending table and chairs to accommodate larger groups. Windows overlook the side and rear of the barn, and across neighbouring fields, and large glass doors lead out onto the extensive terrace, with a large Blackstone gas griddle for al fresco dining. Moving into the living area, the room can be instantly heated by the delightful wood burning stove; why not relax in front of the fire in one of the four large sofas whilst enjoying a movie on the TV, after a busy day at the beach or enjoying the stunning local coastline! A utility room also sits on the ground floor with a washing machine and tumble dryer, and a ground floor cloakroom offers a w.c. There are five bedrooms in total; three on the ground floor and two on the first floor. On the ground floor there is a large bedroom with super-king-size bed (which can be made into twin beds if requested at time of booking) with a spacious and accessible en-suite wet room catering for less mobile guests. The second ground floor bedroom is a family room with one bunk bed with a trundle bed (for 3 children and only available on request), and a double bed. Attached to this bedroom is a bathroom with toilet, bath, and shower. Please note the top bunk bed is suitable for children 6 years and up, with a weight limit of 70kg. The third ground floor bedroom is also a family room and is an ideal cosy space for a family or group of up to five people, containing one set of bunk beds with a trundle bed under (for three children) and a double bed. Attached to this bedroom is an en-suite featuring a walk-in shower, double basin and w.c. Please note the top bunk bed is suitable for children 6 years and up, with a weight limit of 70kg. As we take the oak and glass staircase to the first floor, we come to two further spacious bedrooms both with Super King beds (which can be made into single beds if requested at time of booking), both offering en-suites featuring walk-in showers, basins and w.c.

Also on the first floor is a wellness and teaching/presentation room with sofa, chairs, yoga mats and dumbbells, offering a flexible room for group activities. Get online and enjoy being taught a fitness session, learn what is best for your body with Pilates or do something a little more relaxing, the choice is yours!

The room is also equipped for guests looking for a breakout space or for an area to use when planning the next exploration of the beautiful South Devon coastline. Open the French windows onto the balcony, breathe in the refreshing Salcombe air and relax with a morning coffee.

Secure off-road parking, for up to six cars.

Moult Hill Barn is just a 10–15 minute walk to the beautiful golden sandy beaches of South and North Sands, stroll the quiet green bridleway down the hill to the beaches or drive the traditional Devon lanes. Offering flexible accommodation, Moult Hill Barn is the ideal, peaceful destination for a holiday to the beautiful sailing town of Salcombe.

We loved the size and layout of the barn.

It easily accommodated our extended family of 15. The kitchen was well equipped for the group. All the bedrooms were ensuite. We enjoyed the quiet, protected walk down to the beach and that North Sands allowed dogs all year round. The sheltered, gently sloping beach was ideal for children with sand, rock pools and good swimming.

Fabulous house for a large family.

Extremely airy,spacious and well thought out. Two of every kitchen appliance...very useful for a big group. Loved the upstairs gallery area with sofas...lovely to get away from the children and read books. Negative points are few, but worth noting. Shade outside is non existent. The benches need umbrellas, we couldn't really sit out because it was so hot. A stairgate was supplied as requested, but was unusable as it displayed a dire warning about shattering glass if used on glass panels,which of course these stairs have. The signage to the property is terrible. We all struggled to find it, despite satnav. A sign where you turn from the lane,and another on the gate would be so helpful. Finally, a washing line would be great for swimwear etc. The area is gorgeous, we walked the fifteen minutes to South Sands easily with Nipper type pushchairs, toddlers and oldies,down the bridleway and small roads. North sands is slightly closer, but not as nice ( unless you have dogs). The fittest went back up for cars at the end of the day. There is a very good Asda express less than 5 min drive away in Marlborough, and dont miss Ashbys a little further on to the right...it stocks absolutely everything!. Overall, we would recommend this property, and would happily return.

Moult Hill Barn is in a great location in easy walking distance to both South Sands and North Sands.

The kitchen is great and well equipped and the common space is practical although with no private, smaller spaces. We felt the family rooms were much too small for parents and two children - it was like sardines - and the photos are deceptive. Apart from that it’s a great house for extended families and we had a great week; Salcombe offers so much to do.
