  • Superbly situated in an elevated position with fabulous views over the countryside and to the sea
  • Beautifully appointed detached barn conversion with an enclosed garden perfect for your dogs
  • Situated in the picturesque village of Berrynarbor, within walking distance of a shop and pub
Property code: OC-65786

This magnificent single-storey property benefits from an elevated position, providing spectacular views across open countryside to the sea beyond. Sleeping eight guests and two hairy hounds, it’s the perfect rural base for large families and groups of friends. The stylish barn conversion has an open-plan layout that’s ideal for entertaining, as well as a large, enclosed garden for your four-legged friends. The popular seaside resort of Ilfracombe is 4 miles away and you’ll be within 15 miles of the iconic beaches of Croyde, Woolacombe and Saunton Sands.

Step inside the impressive building to discover a light and bright lounge/kitchen/diner, with bespoke windows framing the stunning scenery. Bring the outside in by throwing open the large sliding doors and allowing the pups to ample in and out to the garden. Gather around the large dining table to enjoy evenings of great food and laughter together, before sinking into the sumptuous sofas to watch a film on the Smart TV. The outdoor space with this property is fantastic, with a large enclosed area for the hounds and children to play, as well as a patio with furniture and BBQ for al fresco dining.

Spend a day at the seaside in Woolacombe, where you’ll find a huge dog-friendly section of beach where the hounds can charge around and play in the waves. Enjoy a bracing walk through the sand dunes before sampling some of the local produce in one of the many paw-friendly eateries. Alternatively, escape the crowds at the hidden gem of Broadsands Beach. Reached via 200 cliff steps, you and the pups will need a head for heights, but once at the bottom you’ll be greeted by a secluded cove, surrounded by trees and towering cliffs, that looks like it belongs on the coast of Thailand, not North Devon!
