The Cider Barn offers award-winning architectural luxury with panoramic countryside views in one of Ashcombe’s most distinguished five-star properties, a RIBA award-winning conversion that has transformed a once-derelict barn into a striking contemporary retreat. Sleeping up to sixteen guests in eight ensuite bedrooms, the house blends exceptional architectural design with rural charm, offering style, comfort, and sweeping views of the Devon countryside. Each lodge is maintained to the highest standard, and many retain original charmful features such as oak-beamed ceilings and wood or tiled floors, blending traditional style with modern luxury.
Set high on the side of a secluded valley, The Cider Barn enjoys total privacy, with no other houses in sight. Its elevated position provides breath-taking panoramic vistas, while below, the original Ashcombe cider orchard continues to produce the estate’s renowned cider, a bottle of two await guests with their welcome pack.
At the heart of the house is an expansive open plan living and dining space, designed for entertaining and relaxation. The bespoke oak dining table comfortably seats all guests, while the large sitting room features smart leather sofas placed around a 55” Smart TV, alongside a Bluetooth speaker, and a roaring log-burning stove (logs provided). The fully equipped kitchen includes home-from-home appliances, including an electric range oven, a microwave, an American-style fridge-freezer and an additional chef’s fridge, and also two convenient dishwashers. There’s also a utility room housing a washing machine and tumble dryer for added convenience. Like all properties on the estate, the house benefits from high-speed mesh Wi-Fi, extending to the outdoor areas. Outside, an enclosed lawn enjoys stunning valley views and features a heated outdoor plunge pool (open from 1st April to 31st October). Unwind in the sauna at Woodhouse Farm while children enjoy the outdoor play area. A generous private parking area includes two EV charging points for guests’ convenience (usage charged at cost).
For families, a cot and highchair are available, and this house includes a landline telephone for guest use. Outside, the enclosed garden and patio provide additional space to relax, complete with outdoor furniture for dining or unwinding in the fresh Devon air. Guests staying can enjoy the private outdoor heated swimming pool, maintained at 30°c and open from 1st April to 31st October. Our cottages are designed for comfort and practicality, with a wide range of Devon attractions right on your doorstep.
Sleeping from 6 to 28 guests, the cottages can be combined to accommodate larger groups. For an extra touch, you can even book an in-house chef to handle your catering.
Set in the heart of the rolling Devon countryside, the privately owned Ashcombe Country Estate nestles in a quiet, beautiful valley, surrounded by endless things to do and just a short drive from the sandy beaches of Dawlish and Torquay too.

Also on the estate, A Touch of the Wild runs exciting forest activity camps where children can enjoy bushcraft, campfire cooking, bug hunting, and woodland adventures, a wonderful way to spark a lifelong love of the outdoors. In the evenings, join the friendly locals at the welcoming local pub, open on various nights with inexpensive local beer and Ashcombe Cider, summer fêtes, and community events.
