Barn End

Nestling at the end of a long private driveway, this property is in a tranquil location surrounded by 20 acres of beautiful countryside. Enjoy the glorious views, birds and wildlife, and explore Exmoor National Park, which is just 500 yards from the cottage. You could also visit Tarr Steps ancient clapper bridge and the pub overlooking the River Barle. Dulverton is four miles away, with a variety of shops, pubs and restaurants. A host of country pursuits are within easy reach, including fly and sea fishing, pony trekking, mountain biking and game and clay pigeon shooting. Porlock and Lynton and Lynmouth make an enjoyable day out and there are beaches within driving distance too at Woolacombe and Putsborough.

As well as Exmoor, this property is in an excellent location for local beaches – author Margaret Drabble’s favourite beach, Porlock Weir, is just 22 miles away and welcomes dogs. Closer to home, Dulverton is 4 miles away and features a variety of shops, pubs and restaurants to wander around. Walk the grounds of Dunster Castle (19 miles) and visit the working water mill; your dogs will love sniffing around the outdoors while the kids will enjoy learning about years gone by. Another hit with children is the Devon Railway Centre (18 miles), where they can clip tickets and wave the flags.
