  • Semi-detached barn conversion set on a working farm off the beaten track which is perfect for getting away from it all

  • Located on the Devon/Cornwall border, ideal for exploration and a short drive to sandy beaches and the region’s top visitor attractions
Property code: 51764

Lead the way to new adventures in both Devon and Cornwall from this converted barn in a fabulous rural setting near Bude. One dog can bring his four humans here to explore the walking routes available right on the doorstep and the activities in surrounding areas.

Arriving at this pretty cottage, you will notice it is on a working family farm, set among the Devon countryside. A private garden features a gazebo, summer house, garden furniture and a charcoal BBQ so you can all enjoy an evening soaking up the rural life while your canine companion snoozes at your feet. Inside, there is a cosy lounge with Smart TV and DVD for when the evenings are too chilly for sitting outside. The open-plan kitchen and dining area is fully equipped with everything you may need to cook up a storm and entertain. There is also a downstairs WC for ease.

It’s 8 miles to Bude where you will find shops, restaurants, pubs and eateries as well as plenty of beaches. Sandymouth Bay, Widemouth Bay and Duckpool Beach allow dogs off the lead all year round. 10 miles from the property is Tamar Lakes, just over the Cornwall border. Here, there are a variety of activities to take part in such as watersports and angling, but for the non-adrenaline seekers and four-legged members of the group, it is a brilliant place to walk, admire the scenery and enjoy a hot coffee at one of the dog-friendly cafes. Further over the Cornish border, you can reach many idyllic traditional fishing villages such as Tintagel, 23 miles away and Port Isaac, 29 miles away.

Clean, spacious and comfortable. Made very welcome and a cream tea awaited us on arrival. Had a two week stay and was offered clean sheets etc on middle weekend and another cream tea (or a bottle of wine). Lovely and quiet, easy reach (15minutes) to Bude.

We had an enjoyable week staying at Monks Rest. Tony was very friendly and welcoming and the cottage was very comfortable. The 95 bus from Bude can take you to many locations along the coast so you can walk back along the coastal path. Waterproofs are advisable as the weather can change so quickly. For eating out The Rydon Inn and the Molesworth ArRead morems are nearby and serve very good food. Also thank you for the scones, jam and clotted cream treats. Hide

A lovely stay, welcomed by a proper Devon scone with jam and cream. Thank you. Great open field for the dog to run around in. The cottage was clean and comfortable with good amenities. The local roads are a challenge as they are very narrow, but we survived. The host Tony was very friendly and made us feel welcome.

Set in a lovely area, the Monks Rest has everything that you would need. We particularaly liked the fact that there weren't endless instructions as there are with some self-catering cottages. We were given the run of the farm and our dog liked her walks around it. Really enjoyed our stay!
