Heron Cottage - Mill Leat

About this property

Enjoy a family holiday with your dogs in this lovely stone cottage. This property is part of a collection, where three similar buildings can be rented individually or all together, so you can have a trip with extended family or family friends. You’ll be in a quiet area of North Devon with lots of local activities to try.

This compact property is effortless and charming. The ground floor is mostly devoted to an open-plan living space with a lounge, kitchen and diner in one for convenience and a sociable atmosphere. Note the wooden beams and pillars, which give the room a timeless feel. The downstairs also houses a shower room. Head upstairs to find the bedrooms. There’s a double for the grown-ups, and then a twin and a single which would suit younger guests or anyone who likes alone time. All of the bedrooms are cosy and peaceful, so you wake feeling refreshed and ready for an exciting day. You’ll have access to a shared lawn with picnic benches and BBQs, so fire up some sausages or grab your favourite summer drink. Further out, there’s 13 acres of land with woods and lakes to explore with your canine companions.

Outdoorsy adventurers are sure to love the beautiful local area. Go horse riding at La Rocco Riding School (8.5 miles), visit the aqua park and try wakeboarding at North Devon Wake Park (12 miles), or splash around at Tamar Lakes Activity Centre (10 miles) for fishing, canoeing, kayaking and more. If you fancy surfing, Bude beach (14 miles) is a lovely spot and the town has some great restaurants, shops and a castle. Finish the holiday by grabbing your binoculars and watching the wildlife in National Trust Dunsland (4 miles), where you can see dormice, sparrowhawks and roe deer.
