A detached contemporary property with countryside views. Conveniently located for sandy beaches and Exmoor National Park. This is the perfect retreat for families and dogs.
This delightful property, situated 14 miles from Barnstaple, is ideal for human and canine guests. Sleeping four across two beautiful bedrooms and with space for up to two dogs, this holiday home is perfectly placed for discovering Devon’s coast and countryside. Head to Westward Ho! (22 miles) for a traditional seaside day out, or take a trip to Quince Honey Farm (13 miles) where you can see the bees at work and go on a tasting tour.
The property, which sits adjacent to the owner’s 16th-century farmhouse, is bright and airy with an impeccable blend of the traditional and contemporary. Exposed beams paired with sleek and stylish neutral colours feature throughout, making it a peaceful place in which to relax and unwind. Head into the lounge after a long day and snuggle up on the sofa in front of the wood burner, pups curled up by your feet, before heading to bed. The bedrooms promote a peaceful night’s sleep with clean and fresh decor; wake up invigorated and head to the enclosed garden for your morning coffee. Sizzle up a BBQ out here on summer evenings and enjoy unspoilt skies as the sun goes down.
Take a stroll around the grounds at Arlington Court (22.5 miles), where there are formal Victorian gardens and woodland walks aplenty. The War Horse Valley Country Farm Park (12 miles) is another lovely family day out, inspired by the Michael Morpurgo novel. If it’s beaches you’re after, Saunton Sands (21 miles) welcomes hounds all year, while the villages of Instow (17.5 miles) and Appledore (22.5 miles) are easy to get to by crossing the River Torridge on a ferry and have lots of dog-friendly pubs and cafes to choose from.
