About this house rental
Private Dog-Friendly Devon Estate Near the Coast
Welcome to The Woodlands House Estate, a private countryside retreat on the North Devon Coast, designed for guests seeking space, nature, and a truly dog-friendly holiday.
Set within peaceful surroundings with rolling countryside, coastal walks, and dog-friendly beaches nearby, this unique Devon estate offers the perfect balance of coastal adventure and countryside relaxation.
Here, dogs are welcomed as family, not just allowed.
Guests enjoy exclusive use of the property, creating a private escape ideal for families, couples, and multi-generational stays looking to explore one of the most beautiful parts of South West England.
🌿 Eco-Conscious Sanctuary & Sustainability
Powered by renewable energy and moving passionately toward full estate sustainability, we offer a low-impact, premium country escape. The house is the only guest property situated on the entire estate, completely enveloped by 5 acres of private valley land. These surrounding acres are dedicated to an active nature rewilding project, serving as a protected, quiet haven for local North Devon wildlife, our resident animals, and our free-roaming chickens.
🏡 The Garden Layout & Absolute Privacy
To ensure our animals remain safe and undisturbed, guest access is beautifully focused on your own private, exclusive 1-acre garden grounds. This guarantees our guests unrivaled, uninterrupted peace and absolute privacy with no shared facilities or near neighbors.
The garden layout is thoughtfully designed for family peace of mind:
• Fully Enclosed Upper Lawn: Located directly outside the house, this flat, secure lawn area is completely enclosed. It is a dedicated safe-haven where children can play freely and up to three dogs can safely roam entirely off-lead.
• The Lower Nature Garden & Stream: Beyond the upper lawn, the estate gracefully transitions into a beautiful lower garden bounded by a natural, trickling stream. While the steep, natural valley incline acts as a fantastic natural deterrent that dogs rarely attempt to cross, please note this lower section is kept wild and is not artificially fenced. It provides a stunning, tranquil backdrop, but we simply recommend supervising adventurous pets and young children when exploring this lower area.
Whether you are relaxing in the total peace of the estate or heading out to explore nearby Broad Sands, Woolacombe, or the South West Coast Path, The Woodlands House Estate is a sanctuary where you can truly disconnect.

What a wonderfully peaceful and beautiful location! To top that the property was clean and very functional and our black lab was incredibly well accommodated too. The location manager was very friendly and a huge support with all our daft questions. A great week away for us with plenty of good walks for us and Bruce (the dog 😊). I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!!

We had a wonderful family vacation here. The grounds are massive and beautiful. The children loved playing on the extensive lawn. The views from the bedrooms were stunning. Some amazing beaches are really close by. We explored lots but will definitely stay here again so we can explore some more. A great base for exploring North Devon. The hosts were super helpful and nothing was too much. We really appreciated all the advice they gave also. Can’t wait to return!

Lovely rustic property, owners very helpful, nothing too much trouble.
Gave some feedback about having a hand held shower over the bath and they were already planning to do something. Having lots of baths instead though was very relaxing.
We enjoyed our stay.

The approach to the house is not inspiring - a broken house sign and untidy path with corrugated iron for fencing in places. Many broken and missing exterior tiles adjacent to side door entrance. A short welcome note with a little local info on walks / recommended places to eat would have been helpful. The wine and milk were a nice touch.
Kitchen very tired and fridge light not working. Couldn't find a tray and oven very dirty. Otherwise kitchen well equipped.
The bedrooms were nice and towels and bed linen all well laundered.
However it was not made clear in the details that the only toilet was in the one bathroom and this is clearly not up to modern standards. There is no shaving point and no hand held shower attachment for washing one's hair.
We met the owners who were charming and helpful and are obviously working very hard to update the house.
We feel that overall, although the setting is beautiful and tranquil, the house needs further renovations inside and out and is not yet ready to be let to holidaymakers.
