DREAMCATCHER
Imagine yourself enjoying a leisurely breakfast, on the patio in your private garden. The only sound is birdsong, or the lambs calling to their mum's. Perhaps you prefer to be curled up on the sofa in front of the woodburner, reading a book, whilst a loved one prepares a scrumptious meal on the range style cooker. Or maybe you have the local information leaflets out and are sprawled on the floor, enjoying the underfloor heating as you plan your days out?

However you enjoy your holidays, Webber Hill Farm Cottages has something to offer you. Dreamcatcher is our detached barn conversion on this ancient former farmstead, specially for couples, and up to 4 pets. If you are bringing more than 2 pets, which come free, please let me know and I will send you a revised quote as. And be assured that, as we do the cleaning ourselves, we take great care to ensure our cottages are clean and fresh, whether or not you come with pets.

Reached down a narrow, unmade farm track we are located 1.5 miles from Okehampton on the outskirts of the village of Sampford Courtenay. Arriving here feels like you are a million miles from the stresses of every day life, yet all the amenities are easily accessible if you want them.

We are almost on the Devon/Cornwall border so it is very easy to reach the north and south coasts, the moors of Dartmoor and Bodmin as well as the many historic houses and National Trust properties, not to mention the gardens (such as RHS Rosemoor) and 40+ nature reserves!

Golfers are well catered for with Ashbury Golf course less than 10 minutes drive from us, and of course Okehampton Golf Club.

If you love cycling we can store your bikes under cover (please bring your own chain and lock). National Cycle Route 27 runs at the top of our track, but if you fancy something less challenging, the Granite Way starts at Okehampton and ends at Lydford, and is one of my favourites, along the edge of Dartmoor but on a good, solid track - my kind of cycling! It is also easy to reach the Camel Trail, Drakes Trail and the Tamar Trails.

For pet owners, your pet will be made very welcome with a bowl of fresh water on arrival, dog biscuit and a pet blanket and paw wiping towel. There are plenty of walks from the door, a favourite being the country lane to Ashbury Forest (about 30 minutes walk to the forest). We also keep a list in the cottage of beaches where your pets can run off the lead throughout the season.

We have welcomed house cats here at Dreamcatcher, so if you would like to discuss bringing a feline(s), please give me a call/email.

Dreamcatcher has one main bedroom with a 6ft superking bed (with topper so you won't feel the zip in the middle!). The bed can split to make two 3ft twins on request. The wardrobe has plenty of hanging space and hangers, as well as the bedside cabinets and dressing table storage space.
On the mezzanine there is a day bed, chest of drawers, bedside cabinet with reading lamp and further hanging space.

The shower room is light and airy with a sloping ceiling. The shower is a power shower with a large enclosure.

In the lounge you have a sofa and a leather armchair, coffee table, TV unit, CD/DVD player, some books and games. And of course the woodburner (first basket of logs free, further logs can be bought from us on an honesty basis).

The kitchen and lounge are open plan so that you can enjoy your separate activities but still feel like you are together.

In the kitchen you will find a range style cooker with gas hob, warming plate and double oven. There is also a microwave. There is a dishwasher, washing machine and undercounter fridge with a small ice compartment (4* freezer compartment for things like frozen peas or .... ice! But not big enough for lots of frozen ready meals).
If you need to know if we provide something specifically, please contact me.

Outside you will find patio furniture, washing line and BBQ.

The garden is fully enclosed and as dog proof as we could make it.

If you wish to enquire about a short break, or to bring your extended pet family with you please contact me for a quote. Thank you.

Christmas at Dreamcatcher
We spent a week over Christmas at Dreamcatcher, everything about the property was just right for us and our two dogs. The cottage is very cosy and has everything we needed for a love stay. We will definitely come back next time we are in the area needing somewhere to stay. Thank you xxx

Tranquility
We stayed at Dreamcatcher for a week over Christmas. The whole process of booking was very easy. We arrived to find an immaculate warm and welcoming property complete with a few tasteful Christmas decorations. The dining table was laid ready for us complete with a bottle of wine and even a Christmas cake. There was also a basket of logs, kindling and fire lighters ready to light the log burner. Everything had been thought of including a list of local dog walks and local dog friendly establishments. The owner, Nicki, was very friendly and helpful even supplying additional feed for the bird feeder which was a joy to watch, we counted 10 different species oh and 2 squirrels. The arrival and departure procedures were very clear and as Covid secure as possible. We had a wonderfully tranquil break and will most definitely be going back. Thank you Nicki for an amazing break.

A hidden jem of a cottage.
This barn conversion was a wonderful find. Located in a small group of lovingly restored farm buildings on a hilltop. The property is well equipped and comfortable . As our stay was during a very wet week it enabled us to thoroughly relax indoors whilst watching the birds queuing up to use the bird feeder in the garden. 5 stars is not enough for this little jem!

Lovely cottage
Nicky made sure we had every thing we needed for our stay and the cottage was spotlessly clean. Its a lovely quiet spot with plenty of birds to watch at the feeder. We even managed to spot a dragon fly at the pond. Lovely super kingsize bed (why dont more cottages have this ??)

About the host

Hosted by Nicky Bishop

Host profile image
I am Nicky Bishop and live with my husband in the former farmhouse of which Dreamcatcher is one of the outlying barns. We both have busy careers as well as managing the holiday cottage, but love the balance this brings - it keeps us sane! We have lived in Devon for much of our lives and love being close to Dartmoor and the Devon and Cornwall coasts as we enjoy walking, cycling and kayaking, and basically being out with nature

Why they chose this property

I have always wanted to run holiday cottages and when we first came across Webber Hill it just felt "right". The barns were just calling out to be loved.

When we drove up the driveway and the space of the former farmyard (now the sunken garden) opened up in front of us, it felt really special.

It is so easy to access the A30 to reach all parts of Devon and Cornwall which is great for the activities we enjoy , but it is also far enough from civilisation to feel like you are really away from it all - although not too far to make going back out to get the shopping you forgot a pain!

There is such a range of wildlife here that every time we come home we just breathe a sigh of relief. It really is like coming on holiday even for us!

What makes this property unique

As well as being very central in Devon making it easy to visit the coasts of Devon and Cornwall and moors of Dartmoor, Bodmin and Exmoor, Dreamcatcher is in a beautiful, peaceful location.

We have a visiting spa service available - qualified therapists can help the stresses of everyday life melt away with a range of luxury treatments in the comfort of your holiday home.

We welcome pets and provide food and water bowls, throws, although you may want to bring your own as well, towels and a welcome dog treat. The garden for Dreamcatcher is enclosed and at the front of the property, so dogs can play freely here.

With advance notice we will pet sit for you if you want to go shopping but not take the dog, visit somewhere where dogs aren't allowed, or have a meal in a restaurant. This arrangement is on a bespoke basis depending on the dog's requirements, so do contact us to discuss.

Most of the pubs welcome dogs and our guests are often pleasantly surprised just how dog friendly they are!

The cottage has underfloor heating as well as a woodburning stove, free WiFi throughout, dual fuel range style cooker, superking size bed (or two 3ft singles), double futon on the mezzanine, and a large shower cubicle with power shower. We provide bath and hand towels.

An initial supply of tea and coffee, and a pint of milk, to help you revive, are provided, along with some local goodies.
