Warren Barn Camping Barn

Warren Barn is located within the grounds of Cockington Country Park in a secluded wooded valley. First restored in 1994, with a new roof, it has now been converted into a camping barn for school and community groups. It includes a large communal kitchen and dining area downstairs with separate male and female dormitory accommodation upstairs. Only the communal area is heated by a wood burner. The barn is comfortable but rustic.

Cockington is a traditional country estate, complete with manor house, church, formal gardens, village, water-wheel, woodlands, orchards, meadows and pasture. It is famous for its well kept thatched cottages and pleasant environment right on the edge of Torquay and only minutes from the sea-front. It's a landscape full of suprises and views over Torbay, with wildlife and history to match.

Groups staying at the Barn can book activities at any of the Trust sites. We can also offer a programme of activities during your stay. The Barn sleeps 36 in 2 dorms.

The ground floor is wheelchair friendly with a disabled access bedroom and bathroom. There is a staff bedroom upstairs. There is a fully equipped kitchen and dining area and separate male and female toilets and showers.

The Barn's location makes it an ideal base for exploring Trust sites.  It is very close to the Gamekeeper's Cottage which groups can also utilise and to Occombe Farm.
