We welcome dogs
We welcome dogs and other animals by arrangement in The Barn and The Cottage. The Granary is pet free. North Devon is a fantastic spot to explore with your dog.
The Tarka Trail – just 6 miles away Perfect for easy walks alongside the expansive saltmarsh, mudflats and sandbanks of the Taw/Torridge Estuary, bursting with wildlife and wonderful views.
If your dog loves the beach, there are lots close by to let them run wild on. Some of our favourites are: Northam Burrows, Westward Ho! Instow and Sandymouth.
And of course, being in the North Devon countryside means that simply walking from Great Eckworthy is peaceful and very scenic on extremely quiet roads.
The area outside of the Barn is fenced. If there is no livestock in our 4.5 acre field you are welcome to exercise your dogs in it. Guests staying in the Barn would have exclusive use of the field to do this and access is directly outside the Barn. The Barn can accommodate up to three larger dogs (Retriever size) or up to four smaller dogs (Cockapoo size).
The area directly outside the Cottage has an enclosed decking area. The Cottage can accommodate 2 dogs of medium size for example a Retriever.
We provide dog throws, bowls, dog towels, outside tap & bags. We do not provide bedding or crates.
All the local pubs are dog friendly
Our dog charges are £40 per dog, per stay.
If you are looking for dog grooming during your stay or doggie daycare then ‘The Grooming Salon’ just a mile away offers this. Mandy Day is an experienced & very popular dog groomer. She can be contacted on 07778 347254.
