Onze faciliteiten
Er is altijd wel iets te doen bij Libbear Barton! We hebben activiteiten voor het hele gezin, ongeacht het weer.
Verwarmd binnenzwembad
Our heated indoor swimming pool is open all year round, providing a warm, private space for families to swim whatever the season. Generously sized and maintained at a comfortable temperature, it’s ideal for relaxed lengths, family splash sessions or helping children build water confidence in a calm, enclosed setting.
Each property can book a dedicated two-hour private session per day, with slots available between 9am and 8pm. That means no sharing with other cottages, no crowded lanes, just your household enjoying the pool at your allotted time. It’s a simple system that ensures everyone gets proper, uninterrupted swim time during their stay.
Zacht spel
Our indoor soft play area gives younger guests a dedicated space to burn off energy whatever the weather. Designed with pre-school and early primary ages in mind, it’s a safe, enclosed environment with padded flooring, climbing shapes, crawl spaces and slides that encourage movement, balance and confidence.
It’s ideal for early mornings, rainy afternoons or that in-between moment before supper when energy levels are still high. For added convenience, the soft play adjoins the games room, so you can enjoy a game of pool while still keeping an easy eye on the children.
De Soft Play is elke dag geopend van 9.00 tot 20.00 uur.
De dierenstal
Our on-site petting farm gives guests the chance to properly experience life on a smallholding. Meet our miniature donkeys, guinea pigs, chickens and runner ducks, and enjoy simple, hands-on interactions that children rarely get at home. Little ones can help collect eggs, watch the ducks waddle down to the water, and spend time gently handling the smaller animals under supervision.
It’s a relaxed, informal space designed for families to drop in and enjoy at their own pace. No queues, no crowds, just a safe and thoughtful environment where children can learn, build confidence around animals and spend meaningful time outdoors.
Sauna
Our on-site sauna offers a calm, restorative space to properly switch off during your stay. Located beside the pool area, it provides the perfect contrast after a swim or a long walk across Dartmoor or the North Devon coast. Warm and quiet, it’s designed for unhurried relaxation.
Like the pool, the sauna is used during your private two-hour pool session, giving your household exclusive access at your allocated time. Whether it’s easing tired legs, warming up after an autumn beach walk or simply carving out a moment of peace, it’s a small detail that makes a noticeable difference to the rhythm of your stay.
Fitnessruimte
Our on-site gym gives you everything you need to keep your routine on track while you’re away. The space is compact but well equipped, with a full set of dumbbells, exercise bike, elliptical trainer, workout bench, mat, gym ball and resistance bands.
Open daily from 9am to 8pm, it’s easy to fit a session around family plans. Practical and straightforward, it means you can maintain your training rhythm without needing to leave the site.
Speelkamer
Our games room is designed for relaxed, informal competition across all ages. Inside, you’ll find a full-size pool table, air hockey, table tennis, darts and table football, giving plenty of options whether it’s a one-on-one match or a full family tournament.
Open daily from 9am to 8pm, it’s a dependable go-to space in the evenings or on wetter days. During the summer and on drier days, lawn games are also available outside, adding an extra layer of easy, outdoor fun to the mix.
Buiten speeltuin
Our outdoor playground gives children plenty of space to climb, balance and burn off energy in the fresh Devon air. The play area includes a swing set, slides, a multi-level climbing frame with climbing wall, rope, ramp and steps, all designed to encourage movement, coordination and confidence.
It’s an easy, informal space for children to dip in and out of throughout the day, whether that’s between activities or while supper is being prepared. Open daily from 9am to 8pm, it’s a simple, reliable favourite that keeps younger guests happily occupied without ever having to leave the site.
Evenementenruimte
The Stables is onze aantrekkelijke evenementenruimte met balkenplafond – perfect voor uw feest, seminar of vergadering. Er is ruimte voor 40 personen aan een tafel of in theateropstelling en dankzij de aangrenzende commerciële keuken kunt u zelf koken voor uw bijeenkomst of achterover leunen en een cateraar het werk laten doen. We bevelen u graag iemand uit de buurt aan die uw evenement extra speciaal zal maken. We bieden The Stables gratis aan voor wie de hele locatie boekt.
Het Wilde Woud
Vijf hectare prachtig bos ligt voor de deur en nodigt u uit om op ontdekkingstocht te gaan en uw eigen avontuur te beleven hier bij Libbear Barton. Afhankelijk van het seizoen zijn er velden vol boshyacinten, een dassenburcht, barbecues in verborgen dalen, een beekje om in te pootjebaden en nog veel meer. Stel u eens voor dat u zo het boek The Wind in the Willows binnenstapt!
Tuinen
Each property at Libbear Barton has its own private garden, giving you space to relax, dine and unwind without feeling overlooked. Lawns provide room for children to play, and every garden includes its own trampoline, making it easy for younger guests to burn off energy safely within your own space.
You’ll also find gas barbecues and outdoor dining furniture, so long lunches and relaxed evening meals can move effortlessly outside when the weather allows. Thoughtfully laid out to balance privacy with open countryside views, the gardens give you the freedom to enjoy the outdoors at your own pace throughout your stay.
Boating Lake
Open from the Easter holidays through to October half term, our boating lake is ready for your very own mini expedition. Climb into the dinghy, push off from the bank and row your way around the island for a proper little adventure. It’s not quite Swallows and Amazons, but it’s not far off. A bit of teamwork on the oars, fresh Devon air in your lungs and the quiet thrill of charting your own course across the water. Simple, screen-free, and just the right amount of wild.
40 hectare om te verkennen
Libbear Barton is een boerderij van 40 hectare. Gedurende de verschillende seizoenen kunt u genieten van het kijken naar de tractoren die op de boerderij aan het werk zijn, het zaaien van het zaad of het oogsten van het gewas. Ons prachtige meer is de thuisbasis van eenden, Canadese ganzen en waterhoentjes, met in het voorjaar veel jongen. En er is niets mooier dan een rustige wandeling rond het meer in de vroege ochtend of in de schemering, wanneer u misschien een paar herten, een paar vleermuizen of zelfs de prachtige kerkuil kunt spotten. Net als in The Wind in the Willows keren elk voorjaar veel zwaluwen terug uit Afrika om zich te vestigen in Libbear Barton.
