  • A charming yet stylish detached barn set in the grounds of the owner’s home with cosy wood burner, parking and glimpses of the estuary from the patio area
  • Hidden away from the hustle and bustle yet within walking distance of both Appledore and Westward Ho! with sandy beaches, quaint shops, gastro pubs and restaurants on offer
  • Perfectly located to explore all North Devon has to offer, why not roam the South West Coastal Path? Wonder the Northam Burrows with your pup from your doorstep? Build sand castles at Instow beach? Or even venture the wilds of Exmoor National Park?
Property code: OC-62964

Set tails wagging at this splendid holiday property, right on the edge of Devon’s Northam Burrows Country Park and with miles of open sandy beach and grassland to immerse yourselves in. The attractive detached barn sleeps four guests and two of their happy hounds, and will welcome additional dogs with open paws by prior arrangement.

Set within the grounds of the owner’s home, your converted single-storey property enjoys panoramic views out across towards the estuary and the sea. To the front, an enclosed courtyard offers the perfect position from which to survey the scenery over a cup of tea or a glass of wine, with your furry friends at your feet. Step inside to discover your airy open-plan holiday home, where you can spread out in comfort between the kitchen, dining and lounge areas, with ample space for Fido and Rex, too. A vaulted ceiling and skylight windows ensure the space is filled with natural light; there’s a Smart TV for cosy nights in and a wood burner for everyone to snuggle down in front of when it is chilly out. Two bedrooms and a stylish bathroom complete the inviting accommodation in your cottage.

Approximately 0.5 miles from your converted barn, the small fishing village of Appledore is lovely to wander around. Enjoy fish and chips on the quay or sit on the terrace at a dog-friendly pub to take in the far-reaching views over refreshments all round. The famous seaside village of Westward Ho! is only 2 miles from your cottage. Splash in the shallows here and walk along the great expanse of sand before cutting back through the beautiful country park to return home with your tired but happy hounds.
