This spacious three-bedroom property in Bish Mill, North Devon, is surrounded by countryside yet close to the charming town of South Molton. Beautifully presented and comfortable in design, it is a good choice for families plus two dogs, looking to explore the surrounding landscape.

After a long day exploring, kick off your boots in the utility room and step through to the light and airy kitchen. Well-equipped with modern appliances, rustle up a meal and then dine at the large table overlooking the patio doors. There’s also a handy snug room so the children can unwind with a film while you linger over dinner. The separate lounge is also a comfortable space to sit and chat and there’s even a wood burner to keep things cosy on chillier nights. You’ll also find a lovely King size bedroom on this floor. From the lounge, a staircase sweeps up to the first floor where the remaining two bedrooms are located. Featuring a king-size bed and twin beds, both are a good size and adorned with oak furniture and windows that flood the rooms with plenty of uplifting light. There’s also a family bathroom on this floor. Back on ground level, a huge patio is the perfect spot for a quiet coffee at the garden table. The children can also run free on the extensive lawn and spot rabbits and pheasants in the neighbouring fields.

Take a morning walk along the River Yeo or head to the market town of South Molton (2 miles) and browse the independent shops and market stalls. South Molton is also known as The Gateway to Exmoor and the whole family can enjoy the moors and hills on foot, bike, or horseback. Alternatively, head 13.5 miles to Barnstaple and enjoy a show at the 1930s-style cinema or hire bicycles and explore the Tarka Trail.

Our second visit to Mill Barn...we will come again as we found the cottage very homely, well equipped can comfortable. The secure garden is a must for our dogs which allowed their freedom without hindrance or concern. Altogether a great place to stay ...close enough to the obvious attractions of Devon

Lovely cottage, very clean, well equipped, spacious & comfortable. Really enjoyed our stay and the garden was secure for our dog. Had a nice surprise on arrival too, a cake and bag of doggie treats. The location is great for hopping onto the A361 and travelling to the places we like to visit, most within 30/45 mins.

Mill Barn was a lovely place to stay. Very comfortable, spacious and well equipped. Had everything we needed for a relaxing break. We enjoyed the garden when we returned each day as we had lovely weather and our dog loved the space. Contacted the owner (on a Sunday morning) and he was with us within an hour to sort a small boiler issue. Would higRead morehly recommend Mill Barn as a place to stay and we would happily stay again.

We really loved our stay at this barn. From the lovely welcome pack for humans and our doggy who loved his treats. We felt immediately at home as the barn was so roomy and comfortable and with the added bonus of having a secure enclosed garden. The barn is very private and is in a great location as well as we found it handy getting to towns and viRead morellages very easy. We will be back fingers crossed. Hide
