Higher Wiscombe
At the head of the peaceful Southleigh valley in Devon, just a few miles from the seaside in Beer and Branscombe, are four newly converted luxurious, 5-Star, self-catering holiday cottages. Developed from old stone barns that can accommodate parties from 6 to 32, they are perfect for all kinds of holidays, including bird watching vacations and tours as well as walking holidays. These cottages are at the centre of one of the most outstanding Areas Of Natural Beauty in the UK and have already been awarded Silver status by the Green Tourism Business Scheme and are finalists in the South West Tourism Excellence Awards.
Higher Wiscombe is situated right at the heart of the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, four miles from Honiton (A30) and four miles from the spectacular Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, with beaches at Beer, Branscombe, Seaton and Sidmouth.
The sympathetically converted courtyard of barns combine exposed beams and brickwork with the highest standard of new oak kitchens, bathrooms, furniture, and decoration. The water system is pressurized to ensure luxurious showers. All barns have modern en-suite shower rooms and sumptuous roll top bathrooms for that additional pampering.
