A delightful barn conversion in the wonderful Devonshire countryside. This stunning property happily sleeps two guests and two canine companions, ideal for a romantic retreat for a couple and their beloved pups. The cottage sits across a quiet courtyard from its sister property, sleeping four guests and one dog for larger packs travelling together. Both holiday homes are located on a quiet country road, a wonderfully tranquil spot.

This contemporary cottage has been designed to be both welcoming and stylish, with an open-tread spiral staircase and sleek kitchen adding character throughout. Fido and Rover will adore having their entire pack under one roof in the open-plan living space, where kitchen, dining room and lounge are all together. Cook up a romantic meal whilst the dogs snooze by the wood burner, joining them in the lounge to watch TV and unwind for the following day. Guests who are renting both properties can happily dine in this cottage as the dining table seats six. In summer months, dine alfresco on the raised decked patio or take a dip in the hot tub, letting your happy hounds sniff out adventure in the enclosed garden.

Embark on some unforgettable walkies in beautiful Devon, heading to the Hartland Heritage Coast (11 miles) for stunning waterfront routes and charming villages. Traditional trips to the beach can be enjoyed at nearby Instow (7 miles) where a sandy spot is great for games of fetch. Further walks can be enjoyed in the Exmoor National Park (15 miles) or even further south in the Dartmoor National Park (27 miles), whilst you can embrace a relaxing saunter around town in nearby Barnstaple (6 miles).

Be prepared to drive down single roads, what I'd describe as farm roads and yes they are muddy, but if you're comfortable doing that the barn is lovely. Everything has been considered to make your stay complete. It's clean, well equiped, comfotable and the hosts, Emma and Nikki, are very friendly, welcoming and helpful. They provide pub/restaurant Read moresuggestions, the close by Hunters Inn served delicious food, as well as recommended sights, we would suggest Mortehoe for a costal walk with VIEWS. Hide

A spacious, comfortable, clean barn conversion. It is in a quiet location along narrow country lanes. There is an enclosed garden with a table and seating and lovely hot tub. .The shower room lets the property down but everything else about the property was very good

Norwood Barn is a dog friendly property which was perfect. However information about where the dogs can go in the property is a bit contradictory. The owners would rather that dogs don't go upstairs to the bedroom but then also say that they understand some dogs sleep near their owners so that's ok. The child gate on the stairs made going up and doRead morewn the stairs difficult for myself because I have mobility issues and our dog is a basset so only little legs. Hide

We had a fantastic time at the cottage. The cottage was absolutley adorable, comfortable and had everything we needed. Emma, went over and beyond to make us comfortable with great communication, attention and care. The cottage was so clean and organised and with a welcome surprise with a delicious home baked cake. Could't recommend enough.

Norwood Barn is a fantastic place to get away, ideal location to visit North Devons beaches, forests and woods. The barn itself is beautifully decorated, welcoming and warm, the hot tub is a perfect addition to enjoy during your stay. Both myself, my husband and our crazy cocker spaniel felt very at home and hope to visit again soon!
