Where did the Devon Barn Holiday Let thing come from? Well the idea was first muted by Vanessa Warwick of Property Tribes Forum when she saw the photos of my beautifully styled interior and wonderful Rural Devon views.
Special Occasion Holiday Let

| Uninterrupted Rural Views to Dartmoor |
A Special Occasion Holiday Let she suggested. Taking this on board, my owners spoke to some of the big names in the Holiday Lettings market such as Country Cottages; Cottages4you; Holiday Cottages and Holiday Lettings. Vanessa was right it seems, there’s a good demand and short supply of Special Occasion Holiday Lets which sleep 10 to14 people. I can accommodate 14 people comfortably and if the annex is converted a further 4 can be accommodated. A week in high season is likely to generate just under £2500 without the annex and similar Rural Devon Barns are almost fully booked for the rest of this year!
Another House for Sale

| Master Suite with Rural Views |
So my owners have been frantically bashing keyboards, number crunching and the phone’s been red hot. Their intention now is to keep me and sell one of their other houses – I just had a peek at it on Rightmove – nice place but not as grand as me :-

Convert The Linhay
The plan would be to convert the Linhay over the winter and introduce me to the Holiday Lettings market Spring 2012 – how exciting.
The Joy of Property
My owners say the joy of property is there's often more than one route to take to make things work as long as you remain flexible and open minded - they certainly do that!

A Property Adventure
The benefit of course, is that I get to stay with my owners who built me and lovingly care for me. Not only that but they will now lavish more love and attention on me as I’m to be kept in tip top condition for those Special Occasions. For them it means another property adventure – they’re not exactly ecstatic about yet another building project but they’re very excited about keeping me, spending more time here and sharing me with others.
With A Little Help From Some Friends
My owners have asked me to say a little thank you to some friends who in some way contributed to this decision:-
- Helen Silver – Property Stylist
- Vanessa Warwick – Property Tribes
- Graham Norwood – Property Newshound
- Tracy Kellet – Buying Agent
- Sam Froud – Seddons Estate Agents
Roll on the Holidays!
