About this dogs welcome cottage for up to 9 guests in Devon

Escape to this beautifully converted 4-bedroom barn, nestled on a historic working farm on the northern edge of Exmoor National Park, just a stone’s throw from the charming village of Lynton in Somerset. Located in the enchanting ‘Lorna Doone Country,’ this peaceful haven blends rural tranquillity with breathtaking coastal views.

With a rich heritage as a former mill, the farm still showcases the remains of its original water wheel, adding character and a sense of history to the setting. From the doorstep, take in panoramic views across the Bristol Channel or follow the South West Coast Path directly to a hidden rocky beach via a scenic, rugged footpath. Perfect for nature lovers and walkers, this property offers access to over 13 miles of private farm trails, with additional hiking routes through Exmoor and along the dramatic coastline. The surrounding area is renowned for its rich biodiversity, including rare butterflies, native trees, and four Sites of Special Scientific Interest.
