Offering a restorative stay for man and dog alike, this exceptional Exmoor holiday home is well worth picking up the dog and bone for. Treat your good boys to the stay of a lifetime, inviting one or two dogs to stay with your pack in this incredible country cottage. Your canine companions will simply adore the ample outdoor space that sits outside the property, complete with plenty of grassy lawn where children and pets can play. The accommodation itself is a stand-out four-bed that hosts either eight or 10 guests, an exemplary choice for any larger family get-together or holiday with friends.

Traditional design elements meet contemporary styling in this impressive holiday home. Discover a games room, a comfortable lounge/diner with a Smart TV and a separate snug with a sofa bed and additional Smart TV in way of entertainment. In terms of functionality, the ground floor is equipped with a handy utility room, a ground-floor shower room and underfloor heating, well-suited to returning home after long and muddy walks with your four-pawed pals. Whilst your pets are welcome to play in the enclosed garden, do be aware of the pretty pond that sits at one side – dogs should always be supervised. Back indoors, find four bedrooms, one on the ground floor, to complete the accommodation offering.

Lace up your walking boots and pack plenty of tennis balls and treats, stepping out to discover epic dog walks in the Exmoor National Park. One easy route to follow is the dramatic South West Coast Path, just 2 miles away and presenting some of the best beaches and seascapes that North Devon has to offer. Along the way, you’ll find Broadsands Beach and Newberry Beach (both 2.5 miles) to be dog-friendly, even in the height of summer.

This cottage was unique, the views were outstanding and it was certainly value for money. We travelled with our Daughter and two small dogs, our Daughter has limited mobility so having a downstairs bedroom and shower and toilet were essential for her. The dogs were able to play in the garden which was perfectly secure. All in all a wonderful experiRead moreence. Hide

This is a beautiful, spacious house with breathtaking views - we didnt want to leave! We brought our whippet with us and really appreciated the enclosed garden, which gave him plenty of space to run around. An added bonus was seeing all the lambs in the surrounding fields.

This was our second stay and it was just as good at the very time, but better as we were able to enjoy this lovely house for 2 weeks. There is so much space for everyone to spread out and do their own thing. Having the games room is a bonus when the weather isnt great. But we were so lucky and sat outside and soaked in the beautiful views. Cant waiRead moret to come back again. Hide

The kitchen was well equipped, the lounge was luxurious and comfortable, there was ample space for 6 adults and 2 dogs, and as for the garden and that view ... beautiful !!! We had the best time and will definitely be returning next year.

We had a lovely stay at Higher Hodges. The property had everything you need, and the views down to the coast were beautiful. As a booking of 7 adults there was plenty of space for people to relax. The games room is a great addition to the property also. Will definitely be returning in the future.

Beautiful farmhouse in lovely surroundings. What a fabulous view to greet you in the morning when opening your bedroom curtains. Farmhouse was well equipped and spacious. The rear garden was well planned out with no escape making it perfectly safe for our dogs. Apart from the unsettled weather it was a week enjoyed by all.
