Pet-friendly summary

The Oak Stall is a converted barn at Higher Blagrove Farm, set in quiet countryside near East Worlington in mid-Devon, north of Crediton, with its own grounds, a pond and an open meadow. It is the kind of self-contained rural bolthole that suits a dog holiday as much as the people who come along.

Dogs stay free, with no pet charge, and up to two are allowed. Because the whole barn is yours, they have the run of the place with no shared corridors or communal areas to negotiate.

What comes through most in guest feedback is the space. The grounds give dogs room for a proper run, and the meadow and pond make for easy walks on site before you even reach the lanes and footpaths of mid-Devon. Dog owners describe the barn as a home-from-home, with immaculate finishes and everything thought of, and the owners' welcome comes up again and again: cake and wine on arrival, and an information booklet covering local shops, walks and amenities.

The setting is firmly rural and peaceful, which is much of the appeal, and there is easy access to the main roads once you want to explore north Devon or the coast.

A couple of things to weigh. This is an entire-house rental in a secluded spot, so it best suits one household who want privacy and outdoor space rather than amenities on the doorstep. A car is essential, and there is little within walking distance beyond the grounds themselves. For owners who want a quiet retreat with plenty of room to roam and no charge for the dog, The Oak Stall is an easy recommendation, and it earns a 4.4/5 paw rating.
