Escape to the West Country as a couple or a solo traveller, accompanied by one or two furry friends, and enjoy the crackling wood burner in the open-plan living space and access to expansive shared grounds with plenty of space for canine companions to run and play. Ideally situated to explore the beautiful coast and countryside of South Devon, this property holds a prime position close to the South Hams and Dartmoor National Park.

The cosy lounge provides an ideal space for relaxation, featuring a wood burner that’s sure to attract sleepy hounds. There’s also a TV/Blu-ray DVD player, a sofa bed and a selection of books. The cheerful dining area complements the kitchen, fully equipped for culinary creativity.

We enjoyed our stay at The Cedars. The owner gave us several suggestions of places to visit/to eat. We had excellent meals at Gather in Totnes, The Seahorse in Dartmouth and The Church House Inn, Rattery. A visit to Coleton Fishacre is a must.

We stayed in the Annex at The Cedars. It is in a beautiful secluded situation just off the Devon Expressway giving easy access to Dartmoor, the South Hams, Plymouth and Cornwall. The accommodation was clean, comfortable and well furnished with plenty of drawer and wardrobe space in the bedroom. The property is dog friendly but did not smell of dog.

Although the cottage was in a remote location it lacked privacey due to the large glass windows being facing the entrance drive and access for the owners to their outdoor premises.However, they did try and avoid looking into the windows as they passed
