Children and pets alike will adore the large, enclosed garden and rural location of this property, a fantastic base for any pup-loving pack’s next adventure. Happily hosting six guests and two dogs, the accommodation offers you the chance to spend quality time together in the Devonshire countryside. Surrounded by vibrant woodlands and with a dog-loving village pub mere metres away, you’ll never need to venture far to find an array of routes for daily walkies with your beloved pup. If you do want to travel a little further, however, the ever-changing scenery and mystical coastline of the Exmoor National Park are close by (5 miles).

Completely undisturbed, this detached property is surrounded by ample garden space with a patio and outdoor furniture. Inside, you’ll be greeted by a handy utility room, an excellent stop-off spot when returning home from long walks with inquisitive pups. Wipe wet fur down and throw doggy towels straight into the laundry. You’ll next find the generous kitchen/diner with adjacent snug and spacious lounge, each offering ample room for both man and dog to socialise together. Throw a log or two on the wood burner in the lounge to create a cosy spot for you and your pup to curl up in. And for the humans of the pack, three fantastic bedrooms can be found laid out across the accommodation’s two storeys.

Pack up a picnic with plenty of puppy treats and head off on an adventure, leaving no stick unfetched along the South West Coast Path (21 miles) or amongst Exmoor scenery. Discover the wide, open moorlands of Dunkery Beacon (17 miles) or the ancient oak trees of Horner Wood (20.5 miles), and always remember to pop your dogs on a lead when crossing paths with the Exmoor ponies, red deer or any other fascinating wildlife.

Our second visit to Mill Barn...we will come again as we found the cottage very homely, well equipped can comfortable. The secure garden is a must for our dogs which allowed their freedom without hindrance or concern. Altogether a great place to stay ...close enough to the obvious attractions of Devon

Lovely cottage, very clean, well equipped, spacious & comfortable. Really enjoyed our stay and the garden was secure for our dog. Had a nice surprise on arrival too, a cake and bag of doggie treats. The location is great for hopping onto the A361 and travelling to the places we like to visit, most within 30/45 mins.

Mill Barn was a lovely place to stay. Very comfortable, spacious and well equipped. Had everything we needed for a relaxing break. We enjoyed the garden when we returned each day as we had lovely weather and our dog loved the space. Contacted the owner (on a Sunday morning) and he was with us within an hour to sort a small boiler issue. Would higRead morehly recommend Mill Barn as a place to stay and we would happily stay again.

Mill Barn is huge, with great outside very private space, every effort has been made to secure the garden for pets and children. The cake and things to make a nice cuppa on arrival was most welcome. And a nice touch with treats for our fur baby too. Kitchen was well equipped if you wanted to cook at home, with grocery shops like Sains only a mile aRead moreway. We felt the location was well placed for visiting not only North Devon but north Cornwall and Somerset too. Lots to do. Being really picky, the only thing I didnt like was the noise of the road when outside in the garden, but in the Barn you cannot hear it. And the huge secure gate closes you off from it. And this is what also makes the location great as you are straight onto a road that leads you to all the great places to visit. Hide
