Higher Mullacott Farm Cottages, situated in Ilfracombe, Devon, offer a unique blend of historical charm and modern comfort, making them an ideal destination for families and groups. Among these cottages is Dolly's Barn, a spacious accommodation that sleeps 11 guests across six beautifully appointed bedrooms. The property is set against the stunning backdrop of the North Devon coast, allowing visitors to explore the surrounding area, including the picturesque Exmoor region. The cottages themselves boast a rich history, with origins tracing back to the Domesday Book, and feature a delightful mix of period architecture and contemporary decor, characterized by wooden beams and stylish furnishings.
Dolly's Barn is designed with large gatherings in mind, featuring ample space and period details that enhance its character. The property includes a large open-plan lounge and kitchen area, complete with three comfortable sofas surrounding a wood burner, perfect for cozy evenings. The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances, including a large range electric oven and two fridges, making it easy to prepare meals for the entire group. Guests can enjoy their meals at the wooden dining table, which accommodates everyone, creating a warm atmosphere for family dinners or celebratory occasions.
The sleeping arrangements in Dolly's Barn cater to various needs, with a downstairs double bedroom featuring an en-suite shower room, making it accessible for less able-bodied guests. Upstairs, the cottage offers a master bedroom with a king-size bed and en-suite shower, alongside additional bedrooms including a double with en-suite, two twin rooms, and a charming single room with a Victorian-style day bed. A family bathroom with both a bath and electric shower is also available, ensuring comfort for all guests. Outside, there are inviting spaces for alfresco dining and areas where children can play safely.
For larger gatherings, Dolly's Barn can be rented in conjunction with its sister cottage, Aggie's, which accommodates an additional six guests. This flexibility makes it an excellent choice for family reunions or group celebrations. The location near the coast provides easy access to popular beaches such as Woolacombe, Croyde, and Saunton, all within a 15-minute drive, while the scenic landscapes of Exmoor are just half an hour away. Although the cottages are pet-free and do not accommodate same-sex groups, they offer a serene rural retreat with attractions like Arlington Court and Ilfracombe Harbour nearby, ensuring a memorable stay in the heart of North Devon.
