Detached barn in South Hams near to Dartmouth, ideal for guests with dogs.

Dartmouth - 5 miles (10 minutes drive)
Kingsbridge & Totnes - 9 miles
Coast - 4 miles
The Shearling is a modern barn conversion at Shearstone Farm in Blackawton, South Devon. It is situated next to Dartmouth Golf and Country Club, between Dartmouth, Kingsbridge and Totnes. It has been renovated to a high standard. Access to The Shearing is down a single lane farm track.

This property has underfloor heating throughout which is controlled by the guests. If you are cold feel free to turn up the heating.

There is a large and airy open plan living space. A large, south facing window floods the room with natural light. It also offers a relaxing two seater sofa and armchair, coffee table and flatscreen TV complete with a Sky package.

There is a fully equipped kitchen with a Neff ceramic hob and integrated oven, as well as an integrated fridge with freezer compartment. There is also a freestanding washing machine and microwave oven. There is also a wooden dining table with two stylish dining chairs.

Just off the living area, you will find a large cupboard that houses a clothes airer, vacuum cleaner, ironing board and iron.

The relaxing bedroom is flooded with lots of natural light from the large window that overlooks the patio and countryside beyond. It has a comfortable super king sized, zip-link bed which can be made up together or separately as twin beds (please specify upon booking). There are also two bedside tables with lamps, a freestanding double wooden wardrobe and a chair. At the end of your visit we do not expect you to strip the bed, in fact we would prefer it if you didn't.

The crisp, white modern shower room is fully equipped with a large walk-in shower, WC, handbasin, towel rail and a mirrored bathroom cupboard.

The large paved patio is enclosed by an elegant glass balustrade with a table and two chairs offering views across fields which is ideal for those travelling with dogs.

There is ample parking next to the property. We are close to coast, rivers and moors and undercover storage for bikes, canoes, SUP etc can easily be arranged at no extra charge.

We are a dog friendly property and welcome guests with dogs and allow access to our fields for walking.

Excellent Place to Stay
Well equipped one bedroom barn conversion in a secluded location. This was a real find and the ideal place for us to stay with our two dogs. This is a great base for exploring the local area. The hosts, Margaret, Ron and Sue were very friendly and the welcome goodies were much appreciated. This is probably the best self catering accommodation that we have stayed in. We would certainly return here if we are in the area. Thank you all

Wonderful stay - hosts / property & location
Well what can I say, from the well equipped and very clean property, to the lovely hosts and the tasty cream teas on our arrival, the stay was just perfect. Lovely and quiet and so near to Dartmouth, Kingsbridge etc, by car. Our dog Ash was made very welcome and he enjoyed his early morning/evening walks up the quiet lane and the fields. We will definitely be back next year and thank you again Margaret, Ron and Sue for the really lovely stay.

Whats not to like
For us it was perfect. Tucked away and a field to give the dogs a run. Accommodation is very good. Massive bed and quality fittings all around. 10 mins from Dartmouth and not far from everything basically. Thanks

Quiet location not far from the sea
We found the Shearling Cottage to be perfectly presented and suitable for us, a mature aged couple. It was well appointed, extremely clean and it was a pleasure to have such good quality linen on the king size bed. The cottage is on a very quiet farm but is only 4 miles from Dartmouth so the attractions and facilities of Dartmouth are not far away.
