Found 3 miles from Totnes, the 300-year old converted Church Barn provides en suite bed and breakfast accommodation in south Devon. With free Wi-Fi and on-site parking, Church Barn in Harberton enjoys a pretty village location. The beautifully decorated double bedroom with en suite shower room is accessed via its own staircase. It has a beamed ceiling and an arched window looking out towards the village churchyard. The bedroom includes tea and coffee facilities, and a freshly prepared full English breakfast is served each morning. Alternatively, you can enjoy a fresh fruit salad, with local produce used for breakfasts whenever possible.

Francesca Smith
Church Barn is nestled in the heart of a pretty, friendly village, only 3 minutes walk from a very popular pub - the Church House Inn - serving first-class food. This comfortable and beautifully converted 300 year old barn retains many original features and has a very pretty garden. The bedroom is airy and light with a modern shower room. There is no TV in the room which seems to be a rather popular exclusion! Breakfast is served on Francesca's own quirky mixture of crockery which underlines her love of all things "chicken"! Guests are encouraged to come and go as they please, with access to their room via their own staircase. A dedicated parking place is available.
