Is Heath Farm - Old Mill dog friendly?

Yes, the Old Mill welcomes up to three dogs. The cottage has a large, enclosed lawned garden where dogs can roam freely, and the owners clearly have a genuine soft spot for dogs — they leave doggy extras for guests on arrival.

Are dogs allowed at Heath Farm - Old Mill year round?

The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions, so it's worth contacting the owners directly to confirm availability for your dates. As a self-catering cottage on a working farm, it's the kind of place that tends to suit year-round visits, particularly with a wood burner ready to go for colder months.

What should I know before visiting Heath Farm - Old Mill with my dog?

Because the Old Mill sits on a working farm, dogs must be kept on leads everywhere outside the cottage garden — including the short walk to the nearby fishing lake, which is around 440 yards from the door. The garden itself is large, lawned and fully enclosed, so there's plenty of space for dogs to let off steam safely. A stair gate is available if you need to keep dogs off the upstairs bedrooms, and the ground floor king size bedroom has its own shower room, handy for the early-morning dog walk routine.

Three coarse fishing lakes, 40 acres of pasture and woodland, and a public footpath running through the middle of it all. The Old Mill is one of two dog friendly cottages at Heath Farm, a working farm outside Bradworthy in the quiet corner of north Devon known as Ruby Country, and it takes three dogs.

Because it is a working farm, the dogs go on leads everywhere except their own garden, and the owners are clear about that. The garden makes up for it. It is large, lawned and enclosed, with a patio and a barbecue, and French doors lead out to it from the living room, so the first thing a dog does after the car is the fence line. The acres beyond are shared with the second cottage, and one of the lakes is 440 yards from the door, so the lead stays on for that stroll too. Anyone who brings a rod can fish it.

Inside, the wood burner is the centre of the evening, and the first logs are left ready. The king size bedroom is on the ground floor with its own shower room, which suits the person who gets up for the early dog, and the other two bedrooms are upstairs with a stair gate available. Owners who leave doggy extras for the guests tend to be owners who like dogs, and it shows.

Bradworthy is a short drive for its shops and a village inn from the fourteenth century. The coast is closer than most people expect: Clovelly, Bucks Mill and Hartland, where the coast turns hard and rocky, are all within reach for a day with the dogs, and Bude's sandy beaches are further on.
