We know that your canine is an equally important member of your family so with a warm dog-friendly welcome, this beautiful barn conversion in East Devon gets the thumbs (and paws) up all around. Sleeping four across two bedrooms, it sets your pack on a working dairy farm close to the Jurassic Coast. With an abundance of footpaths on your doorstep and miles of coast and countryside to explore, it would be wrong not to share it with your canine companion. Make sure you pack Fido’s bed or favourite blanket so he can claim his spot by the wood burner.
Spacious and comfortable, as you enter into the open-plan living space, there is plenty of room for kicking off wellies and hanging up coats and dog leads. Spectacular floor-to-ceiling windows and glass double doors allow you to enjoy far-reaching countryside views from inside the property but throw open the doors and Fido will lead the way into the enclosed garden. On summer nights, you can fire up the BBQ and dine alfresco. Next to the kitchen/diner, an inviting lounge beckons, complete with cosy sofas and a wood burner for chilly evenings.
Known for its timeless charm, the seaside town of Sidmouth is just 5.5 miles away with a range of cafes, restaurants and shops, not forgetting a long seafront perfect for walks with your canine. After climbing the iconic Jacob’s Ladder, reward yourself with a cream tea. Wildlife lovers should head to River Otter, which meanders its way to the estuary in Budleigh Salterton (11.5 miles). Dogs are well-catered-for in this area with several attractions offering a warm dog-friendly welcome, including the Donkey Sanctuary (5 miles) and Bicton Botanical Gardens (9 miles).
