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.
