Discover a collection of dog-friendly farm stays across Devon, including cosy cottages, historic barn conversions, spacious farmhouses, charming lodges, shepherd’s huts, and glamping pods. With easy access to miles of scenic countryside walks, new scents to explore, from hedgerows to animal trails, and open fires perfect for curling up beside, a working farm holiday is a treat for both you and your four-legged friend.
Devon offers more variety for dog walks than almost any other county in Britain, with two beautiful but contrasting coastlines, Dartmoor National Park, Exmoor National Park, the Tarka Trail, the Two Moors Way, and hundreds of miles of public footpaths across farmland, woodland, and estuaries. A farm stay gives a dog a base from which to access all of it, with the added benefit of space on the property itself, and a dog that has been walking the South Hams cliffs all day is a dog that will sleep soundly in a farmhouse kitchen at night. Devon’s farm stays tend to have large outdoor spaces and direct access to surrounding countryside, which means dogs get real freedom between walks rather than being confined to a small garden. Just remember that leads are required around livestock on all farm properties.
