Stay at this luxury home for an unforgettable holiday on the English Riviera, in South Devon. Located right on the banks of the River Dart, it’s ideal for lovers of fishing, sailing and doggy paddle alike. It has spectacular panoramic views which you can enjoy from the scenic patio before heading out to explore the delights of the local area. With space for up to 12 people and three canine companions, it’s made for big family get-togethers or birthday celebrations among friends.
The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is a truly impressive space, with a gorgeous vaulted ceiling and wooden beams. Huge bi-folding glass doors revealing breath-taking views over the river. Ceiling windows contribute further to the airy feel. During warmer weather, leave the doors open to bring the outside in. Enjoy summer parties with your friends and pets, perhaps cooking dinner on the charcoal BBQ outside. If it’s chilly, light the wood burner to create a cosy ambience and curl up with the dogs on the sofa. The huge farmhouse-style table is great for those evening meals.
The river is literally your back yard, with plenty of opportunities for water sports you can enjoy with your pets, including sailing and kayaking. If the kids are nagging you to take them to Woodlands Family Theme Park (4.5 miles), don’t worry about the dogs – it has free kennels where you can leave unfussy pets for a few hours (they’ll forgive you for a couple of doggy treats). Head to Dartmouth (7 miles) for a paddle in Castle Cove (8 miles), a secluded spot where you can relax with a picnic. From Dartmouth, take the ferry across to Kingswear and pick up the steam train to Paignton (13.5 miles), a beautiful seaside town with a Victorian pier.
