Woodland Cottages

Woodland Cottages Very dog friendly self-catering holiday accommodation in North Devon In 1994 the 8 acre woodland to the north of the property was planted.

Woodland Cottages form part of West Woodlands - a 17th Century farmstead that was a working farm until the early 1970s. It was then that the listed farmhouse was modernised although the long run of barns set in the surrounding 24 acres remained largely untouched. In 2004 the listed stone and cob barns were sympathetically converted to form three high quality cottages facing away from the farmhouse all with outstanding rural views towards Exmoor.

With the snowdrops starting to appear it's making me look forward to spring. Anyone else looking forward to spring? Our woodland comes alive with fresh flowers and new growth at this time of year. I'm certain that dogs enjoy spring just as much as us. I know that Diego seems to have a fresh enthusiasm to be outdoors and exploring all the new scents and senses that spring has to offer.

Have dogs that like to get wet and muddy? No problems here. We have a designated dog shower for our guests to use. So once your dogs have been on their muddy adventures you can wash down those muddy paws and sandy coats. And because we all know that most dogs aren't the biggest fans of a cold shower, you can even treat them to warm water. Your pampered pooches will be smelling beautiful - until their next muddy adventure!

Woodland Cottages is now a family run holiday cottage business offering very dog friendly accommodation in North Devon. We accept and number of dogs of any size, shape and breed. Each of the cottages have an enclosed courtyard overlooking stunning views over North Devon and Exmoor National Park. There is an enclosed paddock outside the cottages and private 8 acre woodland is the perfect place for your dogs to stretch their legs and meet other dogs. Woodland cottages are located a short drive from some of North Devon's beautifully long, sandy and dog friendly beaches.
