The Shearling is a modern barn conversion at Shearstone Farm in Blackawton, South Devon. It is situated next to Dartmouth Golf and Country Club, between Dartmouth, Kingsbridge and Totnes. It has been renovated to a high standard. Access to The Shearing is down a single lane farm track.

This property has underfloor heating throughout which is controlled by the guests. If you are cold feel free to turn up the heating.

There is a large and airy open plan living space. A large, south facing window floods the room with natural light. It also offers a relaxing two seater sofa and armchair, coffee table and flatscreen TV complete with a Sky package.

There is a fully equipped kitchen with a Neff ceramic hob and integrated oven, as well as an integrated fridge with freezer compartment. There is also a freestanding washing machine and microwave oven. There is also a wooden dining table with two stylish dining chairs.

Just off the living area, you will find a large cupboard that houses a clothes airer, vacuum cleaner, ironing board and iron.

The relaxing bedroom is flooded with lots of natural light from the large window that overlooks the patio and countryside beyond. It has a comfortable super king sized, zip-link bed which can be made up together or separately as twin beds (please specify upon booking). There are also two bedside tables with lamps, a freestanding double wooden wardrobe and a chair. At the end of your visit we do not expect you to strip the bed, in fact we would prefer it if you didn't.

The crisp, white modern shower room is fully equipped with a large walk-in shower, WC, handbasin, towel rail and a mirrored bathroom cupboard.

The large paved patio is enclosed by an elegant glass balustrade with a table and two chairs offering views across fields which is ideal for those travelling with dogs.

There is ample parking next to the property. We are close to coast, rivers and moors and undercover storage for bikes, canoes, SUP etc can easily be arranged at no extra charge.

We are a dog friendly property and welcome guests with dogs and allow access to our fields for walking.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, an electric kettle, and an ironing board.

Excellent property & Hosts.

Property was perfect for us in every way, Clean, comfortable, quiet with everything needed. All appliances, beds, linen etc are all good quality which makes for a comfortable stay. The hosts (Margaret & Ron) are very welcoming, and left lots of nice things in the property to start us off, including a Devon cream tea, which was very welcome after a long days travel. Would definately stay again if going to Devon.
