About Butter Hill Barn

A rustic barn conversion complete with a log-burner, perfect for unwinding after hiking Exmoor National Park.

Butter Hill Barn offers simple, but comfortable, accommodation for up to six guests on the dramatic North Devon coast. Located a stone’s throw from the South West Coastal Path, the barn is ideally placed for exploring North Devon.

For a pleasant walk follow the River Lyn along the stunning East Lyn Valley. At the end of your stroll, stop in at the Watersmeet Tea Rooms for a cup of tea and a slice of homemade cake.

Nearby, Lynton and Lynmouth offer some great local attractions, including the famous cliff railway. And with the Atlantic on your doorstep, surfers are in for a treat. The wide bay at Woolacombe is perfect for learners and pros alike, while the village of Croyde welcomes huge swells into its small beach banked by rocky outcrops. 

With the nearby Exmoor Bunkhouse within walking distance, both properties can be booked for larger group visits.

About the Acorn rating

Back to top

To help find the best cottage for you, we have created our own quality rating system for our holiday cottages called the Acorn rating. Ranging from 1-5 Acorns, the rating gives you an indication of a property’s facilities, fixtures and fittings, with five being the highest quality level.

The Acorn rating is not connected to any other industry rating system that may be used for holiday cottages and is only to be used as a guide that covers location, style of interior and the facilities you may be looking for. We do not set our cottage pricing based on the Acorn rating we have given a cottage as all our cottages are of an individual nature. Therefore, we recommend that all factors are considered when making your choice. In addition, some of our cottages are curated to be sympathetic to their time period. This means that they might not have all of the aspects of modern living, but impress in so many other ways.

1 Acorn: simple living accommodation with basic furniture and fixtures fit for purpose and clean. Running water and a toilet are provided. There could be some limitations to heating and washing facilities – details of these will be stated clearly on the cottage's webpage. Bedding, linen and towels are supplied with a few exceptions (stated on the cottage's webpage). Facilities for basic catering and living are provided. In general, a 1 Acorn cottage does not have WiFi.

2 Acorn: a mid-quality range of furniture and fittings. Bathroom facilities are basic or there may be a high number of guests to bathroom ratio depending on the size of the cottage. Very few 2 Acorn cottages have WiFi and the kitchen white goods and washing facilities are basic. Bedding, linen and towels are supplied in all 2-5 Acorn cottages.

3 Acorn: a good, standard offer. Generally it is correctly proportioned for the number of guests but could have a few compromises, for example a small kitchen, or a lower bathroom to guest ratio. The variety of white goods available will be better than a 2 Acorn cottage.

4 Acorn: these cottages have more premium furniture, fittings and lighting. Additionally the ratio of bathrooms to guests is likely to be higher, and the bathrooms would be more likely to have separate and spacious showers instead of showers over baths.

5 Acorn: a luxury accommodation offer with very few limiting factors. This is the highest offer available. It is well-equipped and has spacious facilities throughout the cottage or is set within an extraordinary location or building. The furniture is of a high standard, and has real comfort for modern living.
