Sunflowers Barn is a lovely cottage that can comfortably accommodate up to six people in its three bedrooms. If you need an extra bed or two, there are lightweight full-size single divan beds available that can be added when needed.

As you step inside the cottage, you will be welcomed by a spacious living area with beautiful exposed beams and a stunning countryside view. Outside, there is a lush lawn with a picnic table where you can enjoy the scenery.

The living room features comfortable leather sofas, speedy Wi-Fi, a 32” TV, a DVD player, and a music centre.

Upstairs, you will find the luxurious master bedroom with a king-size bed, an en-suite shower, and a private patio with outdoor furniture that overlooks a lovely lawned garden. There is also a spacious single bedroom on this floor, with its own TV.

If you are travelling with little ones, a cot, high chair, and retractable stair gate are available upon request.

You don’t need to worry about parking as there is space for two cars, and with a little heads-up, even three cars can fit comfortably.

Depending on what you’re looking for, there is something to suit every day of your stay. You can take a leisurely stroll through the stunning valley to Seaton Beach, which is only a 3 ½ mile drive away.
