  • Gorgeous detached barn conversion, perfectly situated on a peaceful smallholding
  • Enjoy the hot tub, which is particularly inviting at night under the star-filled skies
  • Enclosed dog paddock with its far reaching countryside views
Property code: OC-82998

Set on a peaceful complex of properties on a smallholding just outside the pretty village of Umberleigh, this sweet and stylish barn conversion is the perfect accommodation option if you and your pup enjoy a little luxury on holiday. Sleeping two people in one bedroom and welcoming one faithful friend, it’s the perfect romantic retreat for couples who like to take long walks on glorious beaches before returning to their romantic retreat in the evening for a soak in the hot tub.

Step inside this property and you’ll find a welcoming hall and cloakroom – the perfect place to store all of those dog-walking essentials. Next, you’ll find yourself in a stylish open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner that’s bathed in natural light. Cook a romantic meal in the chic kitchen area and enjoy an intimate dinner at the dining table for two. Alternatively, make your way out to the courtyard and dine alfresco. After dinner, take your pup to the shared enclosed dog paddock so they can run free before you and your loved one take a dip in the private hot tub. Then let your pup stretch out in front of the electric wood burner-effect fire in the living area while you watch a movie. At the end of the day, head up the beautiful oak staircase for a restful sleep in the characterful bedroom.

Your pup’s tail will be wagging at Saunton Sands Beach (15 miles), which welcomes four-legged friends all year round. There are 3.5 miles of sand for you all to enjoy. Alternatively, take your pup for a stroll along the rugged moorlands and coastlines of the Tarka Trail (9 miles), which is named after the famous Tarka the Otter novel.

Fabulous cottage, really clean and a lovely spot for North Devon sightseeing. Enclosed hot tub garden, and doggy paddock are great, but I wish we had known the cottage doesnt have a back door onto the garden, so its a good idea to take robes for heading round to the garden and wellies/waterproof shoes for taking dog out to the paddock (not muddy, jRead moreust wet dew grass in a morning).

Lovely little cottage - small but perfectly formed! Spotlessly clean, very comfortable and cosy. Quiet location with lots of great places to visit within 30-40 mins drive. Had a superb Sunday roast at The Exeter Inn at Chittlehamholt (15 mins drive) on owners recommendation. Lovely private hot-tub at rear of house, accessed via side gate.
