Full Property Description
History meets modern day luxuries in this beautifully restored barn at Old Manor Farm. The Barn is part of The Old Manor Farmhouse, a 16th Century Devon longhouse, and has retained much original character such as stunning oak beams enfolded by the cob and stone structure and high, beamed vaulted ceilings.
Modern luxuries have been introduced such as king-size beds, roll top baths, Freeview TV/DVDs and washing machines to name a few. If you feel like a spot of indulgence there is pampering available on-site such as massages, manicures, pedicures or facials.
The Barn is especially ideal for the extended family, two families holidaying together as it can sleep up to 8 (plus infants) and the main beds can be configured as required. There is a large communal garden enclosed with stone walls and apple trees from the old orchard, BBQ area with furniture and a trampoline for the children. Ample parking is also available.

Whether you like to walk, rest or play there is something for all.

“Threshing barn was spacious, perfect for what we needed. We came down to Torquay for a wedding party and to visit relatives, the barn was in great location to both. For future guests if you like Chinese then definitely take a trip to Wok’s cook-in up the road, delicious! Thanks for the warm welcome and gifts on arrival!“ The Yeoman’s, November 2011.“The quality of the accommodation is what attracted us, we were not disappointed! The information packs provided were excellent, the week wouldn’t have been half as good without them. We enjoyed a beautiful meal at the Orange Tree and the Cary Arms. The coastal walks I will remember for a long time, some magnificent views. Thank you for your thoughtfulness. You really went the extra mile. God bless!” The Hosken’s, November 2011.“We came to Threshing Barn to relax and get away from home, so it was perfect. We had a lovely day out to Kent’s Cavern which was very interesting and great value for money. I’ll always remember the sound of the smoke alarm going off because Richard was attempting to cook breakfast! Thank you for your kind hospitality, we’d love to stay again”. Richard & Adele, November 2011.“Threshing barn was beautiful, such a lovely place to stay. Your warm welcome made us feel at home right away which was great. We couldn’t fault Threshing Barn or Torquay itself; it was a holiday we will truly remember. Thank you so much” Hunter Party, October 2011.“This was a family get together for relaxation and fun! We loved the open plan accommodation, quiet location but also close to many attractions. We have had some great days out including; Paignton Zoo, Cockington Village, Thatched Tavern Inn, and Babbacombe. There are so many lovely places to eat too including the fish and chip just up the road! Thank you for your warm welcome, wine, lovely chocolate cake and cookies. We have fallen in love with your barn. Thank you again” Sandra & Family, October 2011.“Threshing barn is beautiful! Such a relaxing atmosphere in an idyllic location. The children had a lovely time, playing in the garden and on the trampoline. We thoroughly enjoyed our walks to the Cary Arms in Babbacombe, fantastic food! Living Coasts was a really fun day out for the whole family, there was something for all of us. Paignton Zoo is a must visit for future guests, they have excellent facilities there for children too. Thank you for everything; it really was a holiday to remember” Caroline, Al & Family, October 2011.“We have enjoyed a lovely family holiday. The barn was very warm and spacious which was nice. Thoroughly enjoyed Green Chilli takeaways and the Cary Arms which I strongly recommend to future guests. Woodlands adventure park was also great and it will be a treasured memory. Thank you for the welcome pack, it was very helpful.” Caroline, Al & Family, October 2011.“We came for a relaxing break after moving house! So for us this was the perfect place. We loved having loads of space and the ability to go for walks directly from the barn. We had some lovely days out including a trip to Dartmouth, we had such a lovely day there we truly recommend it as well as the walks along the South West coastal path were brilliant. Going out for dinner was great there were some lovely restaurants, the Orange tree was simply divine as well as the Cary Arms. Thank you for the personalised welcome letter, advice, cake, cookies and wine!” Phil, Sarah & Jackson, September 2011."Your accommodation is beautiful, so spacious which is great when you’re getting ready for a wedding. Everything was exceptional, couldn’t fault the accommodation. Didn’t get a chance to see much of the area as we were only here for a couple of days for a wedding. Thank you so much for your help and providing us with some lovely treats on arrival." The Fees Family, September 2011"Having been here before we knew exactly what to expect, excellence. We love Torquay and have been coming here for years; the barn is beautiful and so well equipped, suited the whole family. There are a variety of restaurants to choose from; we loved Curry Ocean in Torquay lovely food as well as scenery. Hanburys fish and chips, well they were something else! Trago Mills was a great day out for all. The Riviera centre was great; children loved the huge pool, wave machine and water slide. Thank you for all the effort you put into our stay, the cakes and wines on arrival were a real treat. The trampoline was also great for tiring the children out... and adults! We would love to come so hopefully see you soon." Emma, Ava and family, September 2011"What a brilliant holiday! Your accommodation is beautiful, best we have ever stayed in. You and your family were so helpful and friendly, couldn’t have asked for better hosts. Everything we needed was available which made our holiday very easy. The boats trips were excellent ways of visiting parts of Torbay without the hassle of taking the car etc. Thank you so so much for giving us a holiday to remember!" Mike Cadby and party, September 2011"The barn is beautiful so spacious with loads of room for the children to play, which was great. All the facilities were to a high standard, everything we needed was there. You have the most amazing family, so friendly and welcoming.

The best part was your friendliness continued throughout the duration of our stay. The children loved the trampoline, lovely seeing them smiling and having fun.

On arrival we felt right at home, it was beautiful. The location was ideal, great to have a few shops nearby!
