Property code: OC-87584

This spacious stone-built barn conversion invites families, friends and their four-legged companions to come and experience rural life in the heart of the glorious North Devon countryside. Run wild and free on some of the region's fantastic beaches, sniff out adventure along the Tarka Trail, set tails wagging with a visit to one of the welcoming local pubs or just relax at home and enjoy the panoramic country views.

This delightful barn has been thoughtfully converted to maintain a sense of rustic charm alongside modern-day comfort. Upon entering, you are greeted by a cosy lounge with plenty of sofa seating and a warming wood burner that is sure to be popular with the hounds. The impressive open-plan kitchen/diner has a contemporary look, with a central island and breakfast bar to grab a bite on the go or choose the more formal dining table to share a family meal. To dine outside, simply head across the quiet lane to your spacious enclosed garden with outdoor furniture. There’s also a lovely summerhouse offering far-reaching views and a lawn with ample space for a game of catch. After a day of fun and excitement, head upstairs to rest tired legs in one of the three inviting bedrooms with exposed wooden beams overhead, and each with its own en-suite shower room.

The beaches of North Devon are not to be missed. Make sure to visit Instow Beach, 8.5 miles from your door, where dogs are invited year-round, and there’s no need for a lead so Rover can frolic to his heart’s content. Join the Tarka Trail, which passes through nearby Bideford (6 miles), and explore a section of this 180-mile figure-of-eight-loop inspired by the travels of Tarka the Otter. Bikes can be hired locally to enable you to see more and to give your furry friends a real workout. After all that activity, a refreshment will undoubtedly be in order so visit the local pub (2.5 miles) where four legs are as welcome at the bar as two.

A perfect retreat for families with dogs. The property is a generous size and well equipped. The crowning glory is the wonderful garden, across the lane, that is totally dog proof and with the most spectacular views. It has a summerhouse, table and chairs. This is a place for a true escape from reality.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Really well equipped home, plenty of room. In a peaceful, countryside location but only 10-15 mins from Barnstaple and Bideford where there are plenty of shops. Lots of great beaches not too far away.

A warm, well-equipped, comfortable modern cottage, it feels very out of the way at first but you actually have Barnstaple, Woolavombe, Croyde, Bideford and Bude in easy reach and we even got trips into Exeter and Taunton in the week.
