Middle Lee Farm is an 18th century Devon long-house set in 3 acres of gardens and meadows at the foot of the beautiful Sterridge Valley. We are only a few minutes walk from the centre of the award winning Berrynarbor village with its shop/post office and friendly local pub serving good food. No longer a working farm the original farm outbuildings and the west wing of the farmhouse have been converted to five individual, characterful, cosy self-catering holiday cottages. |

Middle Lee Farm is family run, and its owners, Christine and Phil are always on site to cater for your needs. Our emphasis is on a quiet, peaceful and relaxing holiday in lovely surroundings.
Middle Lee Farm is very close to the North Devon coast at Watermouth Bay, close to Exmoor for wonderful walks and a very short drive to Combe Martin and Ilfracombe with its restaurants, beaches and children’s attractions. |

The Dairy and The Granary (sleep 4 – 5)
The west wing of the farmhouse was originally the dairy with the granary above it. This wing has been converted to provide two very characterful cottages, both having beamed ceilings.
Both cottages have two bedrooms, one double and one twin, a bathroom and a living room with dining area and a fully fitted modern kitchen. The bathrooms are fitted with a bath and electric shower.
The Dairy is on the ground floor and has only one small entry step and is therefore suitable for those with walking difficulties. There is a patio area directly opposite the front door.
