Hutchinghayes

Host an extra special getaway in this grand converted farmhouse and barn on the Hutchinghayes Estate in Combe Raleigh Devon which sleeps up to three canine companions and 14 human guests. This charming country retreat sits on 32 acres of land with lake views in the Devon hills with interiors filled with traditional and luxurious furnishings. Make memories in the conservatory, games room, snug-style library or dining terrace and cook up a banquet for an evening of entertainment.

Inside the farmhouse and separate barn are several reception rooms, conservatories and a library for relaxing and sitting in front of the fire. Socialise with your guests in one of the two drawing rooms and get competitive with a game of pool. You’ll also have a choice when it comes to dining – one is more formal and the other has a more laid-back feel. Cooking dinner is made easy with the option of two separate kitchens. There is also a hand utility room. There are six bedrooms in total – two king-sized, two king-sized family rooms with additional single beds, one of which has an en-suite, one double with an en-suite and one twin room. Completing the inside are two family bathrooms plus a separate WC. Outside are several terraces and patios with furniture plus further grounds with farm animals and lakes.

If you feel the need to leave this spectacular property, the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is 8 miles away and the coast is 13 miles away – where you can visit seaside towns Sidmouth (14 miles) or Seaton (14 miles). Alternatively, head to the dog-friendly Branscombe (12 miles) for a tranquil beach day. For a night off from cooking, head to Honiton (3 miles) for an array of canine-welcoming restaurants.
