Experience an authentic farmhouse stay with man’s best friend by your side, staying in this bolthole cottage with two beloved pups. Unrivalled dog walks can be found on the dramatic open moorlands of Dartmoor or the beautiful coastline of South Devon, ensuring that you and your dogs head home truly exhausted at the end of each day. As day turns to night, you’ll find plenty in way of comfort and entertainment here at the cottage, with a TV/DVD in the cosy lounge and plenty of outdoor space ensuring lazy evenings can be enjoyed whatever the weather.

Let Fido and Rover sniff out adventure in the pretty gardens that surround this property, a calming space that makes up part of the owners’ smallholding. When heading inside, you’re first greeted by a cosy lounge and diner with two steps down to the kitchen. This sociable space ensures that both man and dog alike can find somewhere comfortable to relax together. Don’t forget to pack your dogs’ favourite beds for catching forty winks late at night, whilst you wander off to the inviting king-size bedroom adjacent. There’s space for everyone to dine alfresco or fire up the BBQ on the patio, along with vast gardens for your pups to pad around.

Jump in the car to cross over to the Dartmoor National Park (8 miles), an expansive area filled with varied landscapes, fascinating animal life and well-marked pathways for dog walkers to follow, canine companions in tow. Discover the best walking bases in Meavy (21.5 miles), Lustleigh (25 miles) or Holne (15.5 miles), complete with pet-friendly pubs for well-deserved post-walk lunches. You can also flock to the coast with tennis balls and dog treats packed up. Your nearest dog-friendly beach is at Wonwell Sands (10.5 miles), with the South West Coast Path passing directly on by.

Garden Cottage is in a lovely peaceful location, an ideal getaway from the hustle and bustle, but with easy access to Dartmouth and Plymouth. Lovely beaches at Slapton and Bigbury The owners, Mr and Mrs Morgan are charming hosts and very helpful making our stay an absolute joy. A number of dog walks nearby. Kingsbridge has much to offer the visitorRead more with excellent shops and supermarkets. Visitors should take care on the narrow lanes. The WiFi and mobile phone signal is poor. No problem! Hide

Friendly and welcoming host, beautiful clean cottage. Location was idyllic, quiet with rare traffic sitings. Birds, some pheasants, hedgehogs and squirrels in abundance. Bed was super comfortable, the garden is underrepresented, the website photos do not do it justice. It was the selling point for us, and is larger than we initially thought. SecureRead more for dogs, who can be left to roam, and remotely supervised. All in all a fantastic holiday with Mediterranean weather for a week. Hide

This is a lovely little cottage in a rural location and perfect for those wanting peace and quiet .The garden is really delightful. I would rate it higher other than there is no mobile telephone signal at the property.

Enjoy the absolute peace and tranquillity of this cottage and garden. A very comfortable bed and total blackness for a great night's sleep. You are remote, so don't forget provisions. Walkers' paradise and lovely Dorset beaches
