Property code: OC-87668

Set on a working farm, this charming barn conversion nestles in the beautiful Devonshire countryside and with the added benefit of a shared heated swimming pool, tennis lawn, outdoor play area and games barn, fun for all is guaranteed. With 80 acres of farmland to explore, you and your canine companion are sure to find exciting sights, sounds and smells to investigate as you stroll the many pathways. Climb the high tors of Exmoor, discover wooded valleys and riverside walks and enjoy spending quality time with every member of the family, both four-legged and two.

This stone-built, single-storey barn features its original exposed wooden roof beams and has a sense of rustic charm that fills every room. With a comfortable king-size bedroom, a bunk room and a cosy lounge with a wood burner and ample room for a basket, there’s plenty of space to bed down for the night. Mealtimes can be enjoyed inside or out with the fully enclosed garden meaning you won't need to keep half an eye on Rover. Cook sausages on the BBQ, a traditional favourite of our furry friends, and partake in some al fresco dining surrounded by the lovely natural environment of Mid Devon.

If the 80 acres at your disposal is not enough, nearby Exmoor National Park is open for walkies all year round, and the park actively encourages dog lovers to bring along their prized pups. For a high-speed blast along the beach, Saunton Sands is 27 miles away and offers over 4 miles of dog-friendly shoreline that’s sure to tire even the strongest legs. After all that excitement, you will need a refreshment at the local pub (2.5 miles), and Fido can join you there too.

We were very pleased with our choice of accommodation, great central location in Devon. The cottage was very clean and well presented, comfortable and well equipped. Very nice shower and a good sized private garden for our dog to have a run about. The grounds around the cottage are lovely, very well looked afte. Although we didnt use the pool it diRead mored look very inviting, ideal for a young family with small children as the cottage had bunkers, and also a games room on site. Would definitely recommend this place to others. Hide

Charming small family cottage in a quiet rural setting. Views across farming countryside that probably hasn't changed in centuries. You can count stars on a cloudless night, and listen to birdsong in the morning with your coffee, this is a true "get away from it all" destination.

A great place to stay. Everything you need in a holiday cottage. It is SC so just make sure you take essentials for the cupboard. We have now stayed in The Mowhay twice and would definitely stay again. Don't forget your swimming costume, The Pool is a great bonus

The cottage is in quiet location with just the sound of the birds and local animals. Cottage warm and cosy, settee ideal for watching the large screen tv. Bed very comfortable.

Very nice place to stay. Well equipped and very homely. Lovely King Size bed. Be careful on the long drive as a couple of pot holes. Could not fault anything.

A lovely cottage on a working farm. Beth and Mark made us feel very welcome (cream tea on arrival !). Great location near to countryside and beaches. Had a very lucky week with the weather as well so all was good. Excellent recommendations for pubs, especially The Grove - superb. A beautiful week in Devon!

We had a lovely week at The Mowhay despite the unsettled weather. The property was well equipped and well located to get around Devon. The owners were friendly & helpful but not at all instrusive.
