This spacious annexe is situated within the picturesque village of Chardstock, which is equal distance from the market towns of Chard in Somerset and Axminster in Devon, famous for its Axminster Carpets and celebrity chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's River Cottage. It is the perfect romantic getaway for couples as well as for up to three of your four-legged pals with plenty of walking opportunities for them to take the lead.

The property is bright and spacious throughout, with an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Enjoy a meal at the dining table before kicking back and relaxing on the comfortable sofa with your beloved hound curled by your feet. Upstairs, there is one pretty bedroom with sloping ceilings helping to create a comfortable atmosphere while you unwind in front of the TV, and the shower room is contemporary and spacious. Outside, French doors open onto a small enclosed decked area with a disposable BBQ stand, great for al fresco dining while your canine companion roams in this safe area.

The property is surrounded by plenty of farmland and woodland – great for those of you looking for scenic walks, as well as for those stick-chasers! It is nestled in the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offering ideal walking routes, cycling and horse-riding. Chardstock itself has an annual street fair with live music and activities, as well as a tractor trundle. Further afield, take a short drive to Lyme Regis (9.5 miles) or the Jurassic coast for any keen fossil hunters, or a beach day out, enough to set tails wagging!

Ideal for a couple and small dogs. Good quiet village location on border of 3 counties. A nice welcome of a cream tea/milk/water and beautiful roses. Adequately equipped for self catering meals. Parking offroad and small fenced decking area for warmer weather but need to walk dogs around village. There is a post office/community store nearby and a Read morepub/restaurant at junction with the a358 and another pub a few minutes drive north towards chard. A farm shop and cafe also on the a358 junction. Hide

A picturesque location offering a real flavour of Devon life. Wonderful to be welcomed with a cream tea and seasonal flowers on the table. We used Pound Retreat as a base from which to travel around and got a real flavour of West Country life. First time we have stayed in a holiday cottage and we will do it again.

Rob, Sara and their boys are a really lovely family, they made us very welcome. lovely to find a cream tea waiting for us on our arrival. The village and surrounding area was beautiful, we felt very at home. Great place for walks and a short drive to the beachs on the coast line, perfect.

This cottage was spotlessly clean with everything we expected to see with regards to equipment and more. The TV in the bedroom for instance. The shower was lovely and there was plenty of storage for clothes etc. The weather was very hot during our stay and it was nice to sit out on the private decking area.

The annexe was clean and comfortable. Fresh scones, jam, cream and flowers on arrival...lovely. Location perfect for exploring the area. Downside is the small decked area outside the annexe, owners stipulated on a set of rules dogs not allowed to foul the decking, even though it was green and slippery and needed a jet wash so had to walk the dogs aRead moret 7am and again last thing at night or allowed upstairs. The annexe is fine for a couple without dogs. Definitely not a dog friendly annexe Hide

We found the owners to be very friendly and all the extras provided appreciated. However the bed was hard and uncomfortable and the noise coming from the owners shower at 5 in the morning was very unwelcome. We would not return as we found it to be very expensive for an annexe. The local pub had closed so there was nowhere local to enjoy a meal andRead more drink within walking distance. We have previously paid much less for a cottage. Hide

Generally the cottage was excellent. We were a little disappointed that the dogs were requested to remain downstairs, we have a rescue dog who has never slept away from us so one of us stayed with the dogs downstairs. We felt that this should be pointed out in the details it may have affected our choice.
