Set on a working farm in North Devon, this characterful cottage welcomes five lucky dogs plus 10 humans to stay. Sitting in a courtyard with four neighbouring properties, there’s a welcoming ambience from your friendly hosts. Young children will enjoy feeding the farm animals which include horses, alpacas, pigs, donkeys, rabbits, ducks and chickens – a great way to learn about Mother Nature. For essentials, shops, pubs and restaurants are a short drive (4 miles)
Step into the courtyard to enter the country-style property where you’ll find four bedrooms (including one en-suite) plus a family bathroom. Upstairs, there’s a further bedroom with an en-suite, plus an open-plan lounge, a well-equipped kitchen and dining area. Cook up a hearty breakfast or cosy up with your pup and her canine friends by the lounge wood burner to enjoy family film time. There’s also an external staircase leading down to a private enclosed garden patio for al fresco evenings and treat time for four-legged friends.
On-site, there are shared guest areas, including a toddler zone with pond dipping and a barn with games and a library with books, toys and videos. Seaside lovers will enjoy the beaches at Ilfracombe (4.5 miles), Woolacombe (7 miles), and Saunton (10 miles); while shoppers can source original gifts and view galleries in the market town of Barnstaple (9 miles). Pup pals will crave the rugged landscape of Exmoor (8.5 miles) and children will love Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park with its animatronic dinosaurs, plus live meerkats, primates, wolves and many other interesting creatures (7 miles).
