The Fruit Garden

The Fruit Garden: Devon

Tucked away on the spectacular south Devon coast, in the pretty village of Berry Pomeroy, this converted barn is brimming with rustic charm. The interiors are the perfect example of country chic, with vaulted ceilings, low beams and exposed stonework throughout, teamed with cosy touches like sheepskin rugs and bespoke furniture. Spend sunny mornings drinking coffee in the courtyard and idle away afternoons picking apples, raspberries and strawberries in the beautiful garden. When you fancy getting out of the cottage and exploring, the local village is worth a visit. Home to one of the most haunted places in England, Berry Pomeroy Castle is the perfect place to discover some of the area's eery history. For some lovely walks, Dartmoor doesn't disappoint – stop for lunch at one of the traditional pubs for a home-cooked dinner.

When you return home in the evening, pour a glass of red and get cosy by the fireplace. The luxurious bathtub provides a relaxing end to the day, before climbing into the custom-made king-size bed.
