Property code: OC-LBARD

Settle down in rural style at this cosy barn conversion which warmly welcomes you and your four-legged best friends. Beautifully peaceful, this property is one of nine nestled on-site just 3 miles from the bustling town of Dulverton. Tails will not stop wagging when you head out onto the magical moors, steeped in history and dotted with spots for wild swimming, stick chasing and scurrying around with noses held high.

At the hub of the house is the open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining area. Let furry guests enjoy the warmth of the wood burner effect electric fire whilst you rustle up dinner and enjoy planning tomorrow’s adventures at the dinner table. When the day ends, rest your head in the country-style bedroom and wake up the next morning to the beautiful Barle Valley. The bathroom is equipped with a shower over the bath, perfect for soaking aching muscles and freshening up muddy paws post-adventure. A large shared garden, separate from the cottage, allows canines to sniff and scamper to their heart’s content and is great for a last game of fetch before bed.

Once you have enjoyed some peace and quiet, head into Dulverton and lap up the vibrant ambience of this small town with its fantastic community spirit. Lying proud above the River Barle, Tarr Steps bridge is steeped in legend and history and is a wonderful circular walk worth exploring, just 7.5 miles from your door. Dogs are free to splash in the river, fill the air with barks and chase sticks until their tails are tired from wagging. You’ll no doubt work up a healthy appetite which can be solved by a hearty meal, cream tea or tasty treat at the nearby pub.
