A PLACE WORTH KNOWING

A cabin-like coffee stop among the homewares

Warm timber, a central wood burner and sheltered outdoor seats. Oak Barn combines a homewares browse with a particularly cosy coffee break.

Oak Barn’s coffee lounge has the feeling of a small alpine hideaway: timber, comfortable chairs and a wood burner at its centre. It sits alongside the furniture and homewares showroom on Knowle Hill, giving a browse a natural pause for cake or lunch. Outside, sheltered seating opens the visit up to the surrounding countryside when the weather allows. The menu follows the season and includes homemade cakes and sweet or savoury cream teas. There is no need to make a normal table reservation, though the team asks larger groups to give notice. It is a lovely extra stop when spending time around Budleigh.

The lovely little details

  • Coffee lounge beside a homewares showroom.
  • Wood burner and sheltered outdoor tables.
  • Sweet and savoury cream teas.

SOMETHING TO LOOK OUT FOR

Sweet or savoury

Choose a cream tea to match your mood; both sweet and savoury versions are part of the lounge’s offering.
