Charming, family friendly, 6-bedroom barn conversion located close to the beach

Higher Mullacott Farm Cottages where Dolly's Barn is located are nestled within the foothills of the North Devon coast, providing the ideal country properties to explore the wider North Devon area and Exmoor. With buildings dating back to the time of the Domesday Book, the cottages are able to combine period charm with modern day elegance, think wood beans meet contemporary decor.

Dolly's Barn sleeps 11 (+ cot) in six bedrooms, and provides the ultimate get away cottage for large families, and groups of friends - all set in a property full of period features.

Lovingly restored the cottage sits within 3.5 acres of communal gardens and paddocks, making it the perfect property to escape to the country. With its excellent location, it is easy to explore North Devon and beyond from Higher Mullacott Farm. There is even a children's play area onsite for the little ones to enjoy.

The beaches at Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton are all less than a 15 minute drive, and Exmoor with its pretty villages and rugged landscape is half an hour away.

Ideal for larger family groups and celebrations, Dolly's Barn has plenty of space and character with sloping ceilings, beams and stone walls that beautifully combine with modern elegance. Less able bodied guests can also enjoy the cottage with a downstairs double bedroom complete with en-suite shower room.

The large open plan lounge/kitchen area has three large comfortable sofas clustered around a LPG wood burner. The kitchen is fully equipped with a large range electric oven and two fridges, meals can then be enjoyed at the wooden dining table, which easily seats the whole family for relaxed meals or special occasions.

Upstairs, there are five further bedrooms, a double with en-suite bathroom, two pretty twin bedrooms, a lovely single with Victorian style day bed, and the Master Bedroom featuring a king-size bed and en-suite shower room. There is also a family bathroom with bath and electric shower. Outside the cottage there are places to enjoy alfresco meals or watch children play.

For groups of up to 17, Dolly's Barn can be rented with its sister cottage Aggie's that sleeps up to six in three bedrooms and is located just across the courtyard.

Please note unfortunately, we are unable to welcome pets or same sex groups at Higher Mullacott Farm Cottages.

Lovely old cottage located within a few minutes drive of Ilfracome harbour. The gardens are fabulous with so much for the kids to explore, it gave them a real sense of freedom and was priceless. The facilities are very good and almost everything you need for a great holiday is provided One bedroom however was basically un-useable as it had a very high skylight window with no blinds. Also be warned if you have an infant, the cot is a travel cot with only the hard base, you'll need to take a mattress as there isn't one provided. The outside space can be a bit difficult if one of your party is elderly or has a disability as the cobbles are obviously very old and uneven. We did have a wonderful week though and would definitely recommend this place.

Our Holiday at Dolly`s Barn
A thoroughly enjoyable week and the cream tea on arrival was well received!! Well equipped but could do with suitable microwave dishes and more info on getting the towel rails warm. Whilst appreciating the difficulties of Covid, having to be out by 9am was a bit much. This aside, it is a lovely venue.

Dolly's Barn
A lovely spacious cottage with all the facilities needed by a large family holiday. We had 5 Adults and 4 children. The equipment supplied in the cottage was first class from the crockery and cutlery through to cooker, beds, linen. All first class, and just as an addition there is the beach hut with a great selection of beach equipment, including body boards, windbreaks and deck chairs. The whole experience just kept on givng

Property was lovely. Extremely well equipped. Close to Woolacombe and Ilfracombe. Only negative comment would be that blackout blinds should be on the velux bedroom windows as the bedrooms were too light in the evening when the children went to bed and then obviously when the sun rises in the morning and the children were awake a little bit too early!
