If you are looking for a unique and memorable getaway in the countryside, look no further than Barn End Cottage at Week Parks in High Bickington, Umberleigh. This cosy and quirky cottage was once used as a recording studio by the legendary space rock band Hawkwind, who created some of their most psychedelic sounds here in the 1970s. Now you can enjoy the same creative vibe and stunning views in this fully renovated and comfortable cottage.

The best part about living here is the view from the windows and the garden, where you can see the rolling hills, the green fields and the sheep grazing peacefully. We enjoy watching the sunrise and sunset, listening to the birdsong and stargazing at night. We also like to explore the nearby villages, pubs and attractions, such as the RHS Garden Rosemoor, the Tarka Trail and the Exmoor National Park. Barn End Cottage is a perfect base for discovering the beauty and history of North Devon.

Barn End Cottage is located less than a mile from the picturesque village of High Bickington, a rural community with a rich history and a strong sense of community.
