The rear is secured by a brick wall, and has an outdoor dining area, a BBQ and a fire pit.

The property is 17.5 miles from Bude, which has dog-friendly beaches and seaside bustle, and 15.5 miles from Exmoor National Park, which is great for long walks with dogs and children racing ahead. The nearest town is Launceston, where you can find dog-friendly eateries and shops.

Tillislow Barton Farmhouse is a very nice property with a very high level of equipment. There wasn't a single utensil that I needed that wasn't provided. The size and cleanliness of the house was more than adequate to accommodate my family with four generously bedrooms and two lounges. The owners, Clare and Michael, are very friendly and informativRead moree without being intrusive. Clare in particular went the extra mile by welcoming us with a lovely lemon drizzle cake and flowers in the dining room. The only downside (if you can call it that) is the relative seclusion. It's lovely and quiet but to get anywhere you have to drive and the roads are very narrow and the surfaces are shocking. Okay if your driving a tractor but my poor car has come home for a rest. Hide

Amazing Farm House, we loved every minute of our time at Tillislow and wished we could have stayed longer, we will definitively be back! Clare was very welcoming and attentive. The house is beautiful, really comfortable, spacious but cosy at the same time and has everything you can possibly need, the garden and grounds are lovely too with fantastRead moreic views. We were a party of 7, aged 14 to 82 and everyone had a great time. Completely fell in love with the house and will certainly recommend to anyone looking to explore the area and wishing to come back to a peaceful and relaxing home after a day out. Thank you so much Clare! Hide

We had such a great time over Christmas here. It is by far the best equipped holiday home I have been to. There was nothing I can think of that we needed. The main lounge is warm and cosy with ample seating on very large sofas! The smaller snug lounge was good for time out and peace and quiet when it got too noisy. Very large dinning room table witRead moreh plenty of seating. Didnt use the garden much as it was very cold, but looked ample in size and I think we would have used it. Upstairs the beds were comfy and very large. We didnt use the games room, as my family are all adults, but for teenagers it would be a godsend! All bedding very warm. The only downside for us was only one bathroom upstairs. The en suit was good and there is a downstairs shower room but it was just too cold to use for showering. I must stress that it has a heated towel rail, but maybe we are just too wimpish! Hide

Excellent, well-equipped cottage in a convenient location. All the amenities you need are at the cottage with plenty of space for the dogs to run in the garden and small paddock. We really enjoyed our trips out from the cottage to Dartmoor and the Cornwall coast.
