Get the whole gang together at this beautifully converted barn sitting just outside the small town of Crediton. Sleeping eight people across four bedrooms and welcoming two canine companions, this is the ideal retreat for families or groups of friends in search of a stylish base from which to explore the Devon countryside with their pups by their side. Spend a wonderful day exploring the independent shops and cafes that welcome dogs in the town of Crediton, and in the evening, come home to enjoy an al fresco dinner before taking a dip in the outdoor hot tub.
Step inside this characterful cottage and you’ll find a large cloakroom perfect for storing all your dog-walking gear. This leads you through to an open-plan kitchen/dining area that exudes elegance and style. Make your way into the charming lounge and take a seat by the welcoming wood burner to make yourself at home while you take in the garden views through the patio doors. When it’s time to eat, head back to the sleek kitchen area to cook up a feast for your loved ones and then get everyone together to eat at the long wooden dining table. Alternatively, head out onto the patio, fire up a BBQ and dine alfresco while your pups run around the expansive enclosed garden. After dinner, take a relaxing dip in the hot tub, or head back to the lounge to catch up on your favourite shows on the Smart TV. Choose from four restful bedrooms at the end of each day, all of which boast super-king-size beds that convert to twins on request. Each bedroom benefits from its own en-suite bathroom or shower room for your comfort and convenience.
Take your pups off for an afternoon at the dog-friendly Bickleigh Mill (10.5 miles), a beautifully preserved water mill. Alternatively, head off to Killerton House and Estate (13.5 miles), where you’ll find 6,000 acres of parkland to explore.
