Surrounded by 30 acres of ancient pastures in Devon, and with a myriad of footpaths on its doorstep, this converted barn will be a holiday hound’s paradise. Welcoming six guests and two furry companions, the attractive property sits on the edge of Exmoor National Park within grounds that include a lake, gardens and nature trails.

Enter the property to find a bright interior with a hall offering space for your wellies, coats and dog leads. Discover the country kitchen, with its dining area where content canines and happy holidaymakers alike can enjoy home-prepared meals. Carry a cup of fresh coffee into the homely lounge, with its exposed beams, wood burner and green views, then relax in front of a good film on TV while your furry friends flop beside the fire. Your three bedrooms and two bathrooms are found upstairs, where one bedroom enjoys a private balcony and an en-suite shower room, and two others have access to a Jack and Jill bathroom complete with elegant roll-top bath. Your own private patio, with BBQ and garden furniture, allows you and your perfect pets to bask in the sunshine before heading off to explore the grounds.

On days out, spend hours bounding through Exmoor’s heather and woodland. Visit the bustling town of South Molton, 5 miles away, with its regular market and stop for a cream tea or Sunday lunch in one of its dog-friendly cafes or pubs. Those still with energy to burn can also drive out to the dog-friendly beach at Saunton Sands. Approximately 26 miles from the barn, fun-loving hounds will be bouncing with joy when they realise they can run free for up to 3.5 miles of sandy beach.

The tall barn was lovely to stay in. The cottage had everything we needed. We had a lovely welcome from the owner on arrival who gave us some tips on places to visit with the dogs. The grounds were incredible, we couldnt have asked for more!

We really enjoyed our time at the Tall Barn - everything was spotless. Wonderfully comfortable beds and a very well equipped kitchen. We loved sitting outside in the unusually warm evenings. Margret was a very kind and hospitable host we hope to visit again one day. Thanks Margaret.

A lovely, comfortable, well-appointed cottage in an accessible location. The outdoor space for our dog was awesome and made the holiday work so well for us. Everything was thought of and we would happily recommend and visit again.

The Tall Barn is a beautiful and well appointed holiday home and the main bedroom has one of the most comfortable beds we've ever slept in! There's plenty of space for a family or for 2 couples in there, but we were just 2 plus our 2 dogs and we felt at home right away. The grounds of the farm are lovely and we enjoyed a few walks around there whenRead more we didn't want to drive further afield. Be aware that it's about 50 minute (25 mile) drive to Saunton Sands, not 25 mins as stated on the website. Hide

I loved the kitchen equipment. I have rented many cottages over the years and the equipment here was some of the best I have had the pleasure of using. I loved walking around the grounds - it is so peaceful.
