This relaxing retreat on a working farm on the Devon/Cornwall border sleeps three people over two bedrooms and welcomes two canine companions. Light and airy throughout - and overflowing with country charm - this detached holiday barn is the perfect accommodation option if you want to escape the city and enjoy some quality time with your nearest and dearest. It’s ideal for romantic couples and small groups of friends who want to immerse themselves in the beauty of the South West with their pups in tow.
This pretty barn conversion is cleverly laid out on one level, but the two major living spaces are separated by a couple of steos. Step inside and you’ll find a fabulously bright and breezy open-plan living space. You’ll feel right at home cooking up a feast in the country-style kitchen, which you can then enjoy with your loved ones in the quaint dining area. Alternatively, make your way out through the French doors, strike up the BBQ and dine alfresco in the decked garden area while your pups run free in the enclosed space. After dinner, curl up on the sofa and watch a movie in the living area as your pups snooze happily in front of the wood burner-effect gas fire. In the morning, kick off your day with a freshly-brewed coffee in the decked garden.
Your four-legged friends will love going for a walk at Tamar Lakes Country Park (13.5 miles). There’s also a lovely dog-friendly cafe overlooking Upper Tamar Lake. Pups are also welcome year-round at most of Bude’s beaches (12 miles) and a little further afield at the wonderfully secluded Trebarwith Strands Beach (28.5 miles) which disappears at high tide. The pretty villages of Boscastle (23 miles) and Tintagel (27.5 miles) also make for a lovely day trip.
