Nestled in the heart of the Devon countryside lies this gem of a property that has been lovingly converted and crafted by the owner’s own hands. Positioned in a peaceful farmland setting surrounded by fields and woodland, you and your faithful canine companion can spend hours exploring the landscape without even having to jump in your car. Here your furry friend is considered just as important as you and has their own doggy box, packed with toys to keep them busy while you entertain family and friends.

Situated at the end of a private driveway, this stylish and elegant barn conversion makes an instant impact due to its impressive double French doors entrance. Reached via a couple of steps, the creatively designed living area has the wow factor with a vaulted ceiling, stone pillars, exposed beams and a galleried walkway that connects this social heart of the home with the two bedrooms. Relax in front of the wood burner-effect electric fire to warm those toes and little paws, catching up with loved ones over a glass of wine whilst dinner is cooking. Or dine outside in the spacious and enclosed garden soaking up the breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Outside there is an additional utility room where your pooch can wash their muddy paws in their own bathroom complete with doggy shampoo and towels.

The location of the property is central to Devon and therefore a great base to explore all it has to offer. Dartmoor National Park (12 miles) blends wild, rugged moorlands, dramatic deep valleys and challenging riverside traverses, and is a haven for walkers and nature lovers. Or why not treat your best-loved pup to a day trip and explore the fantastic beaches that Bude (28 miles) has to offer. Located on the North Cornwall coast, Bude also boasts an unspoilt coast path that stretches as far as the eye can see.

An absolute gem of a cottage, with two ensuite bedrooms , a downstairs cloakroom and fully equipped kitchen. Surrounded by country side and blissfully quiet. Plenty of places to visit, justcsome very windy roads. Local pubs are fantastic and dog friendly. Hosts were friendly but not in your face.

Although the location of Holders barn is remote we chose it to visit friends in Chilla and visit Chulmleigh the birthday place of my mother. It was a very pleasant surprise to find such a comfortable and well equipped holiday home. There are an abundance of pubs to visiting the area
