Full of character and charm, this property is a tranquil place to unwind and enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside. Dog treats are ready and waiting to be wolfed down on arrival and tails will not stop wagging when your four-legged friends discover the 12 acres of woodland on-site. Frolic on the sand at Instow 17 miles from home and enjoy a warm welcome from the dog-friendly waterside eateries which line the estuary.
Contemporary and sophisticated in style, this barn conversion is one of three sitting on the owner’s farm. Stepping into the shared laundry room you’ll be pleasantly greeted by a range of books and games to choose from and even a pair of wellies to throw on before roaming the grounds. Muddy paws fresh from a woodland wander can be washed off in the shower; dry off and keep tails warm in front of the wood burner which graces the cosy open-plan living area, complete with comfortable sofas and quiet reading corners. Upstairs, the galleried king-sized bedroom - a light, bright space with exposed beams - invites you to switch off and enjoy some downtime.
After heading outside to the rear patio for a morning coffee and a sniff around, discover the local village of Shebbear, 1 mile away with a great pub, catering to those with both two and four legs. Drive 18.5 miles and cross the Cornish border to dip toes and paws in the water at Bude with its long sandy stretches and vibrant canal. Tread the South West Coast Path at Hartland, 21 miles from home for sensational ocean views, hunt out Spekes Mill Mouth waterfall and treat your pooch to a splash in the fresh water.
