The location of this very spacious barn conversion near the village of Buckland Brewer will certainly set tails wagging. Off the beaten track and surrounded by gorgeous countryside with great views, you also have a great foodie pub in the village. Plus, there are two notable beaches 8 miles away, both welcoming four-legged visitors: Bucks Mills and Peppercombe. With this delightful house hosting six fabulous bedrooms, all en-suite, and a fun play cabin housing toys and games in the garden, there is plenty of space for the whole tribe.

The hallway is the perfect place to hang up collars and leads, shake off mud and dry your pup’s paws after a day of exploration. Relax in the lounge on the big sofas with lots of cushions, while your four-legged friend explored the patio, accessed through French doors. Take the few steps up to an open-plan space with a stylish kitchen and dining area; here you can slide back the bi-fold doors onto the second patio and choose whether to dine in or out. The dog will be in heaven with the huge enclosed garden. After dinner, relax in the evening sun with a bottle of good wine while giving Fido well-deserved belly rubs.

The towns of Great Torrington and Bideford are both within 8 miles for delicious food and wine, and crafts and antiques. RHS Rosemoor is superb for garden enthusiasts and the Devonshire village of Appledore is just charming and home to The Big Sheep Adventure Park, and Northam Burrows Country Park – both make a fantastic day out and are 8 miles away.

Buckland Barn was perfect for our family get together, aged from 8 months to 80 yrs ! It is extremely well equipped, clean, comfortable and with the added advantage of all bedrooms having en-suites. The owners were lovely to communicate with, we just wished we had stayed longer !
