Pack your walking boots, clip on a lead and head to this lovely home which is brimming with rustic charm and creature comforts, just perfect for a break away with your canine companion. Explore on foot, paw or bike and wind your way around well-trodden trails where stick chasing and wonderful landscapes await. Post adventure, snuggle up by the wood burner and challenge fellow two-legged guests to a board game.

 

Enter this upside-down house and make yourself right at home in the open-plan living space. Sit beneath exposed beams and put your feet up on the sofa as furry tums sprawl out at your feet and lap up the warmth from the wood burner. Wander over to the kitchen area and whip up something delicious to serve up at the dining table. For a quick snack, you can gather around the breakfast bar with a mug of tea or step out onto the private enclosed patio and fire up the BBQ for sizzled treats. Although this property adjoins the owner’s home, your privacy is ensured and you can spend time enjoying some peace and quiet in the outdoors space. When bedtimes near, descend to the ground floor and get ready for bed in the family shower room. The two bedrooms boast delightful views and are homely rooms in which to rest your head and drift off.

 

With footpaths running straight from your door, rise and shine and head out for a morning stroll around the community orchard and nature reserve. Chat to the owners and you can cast your rod in the river which flows through the grounds. Head further afield and make the 11-mile trip to the National Trust’s Croft Castle where dogs on leads are welcome to explore the walled garden, vineyard and the Iron Age hill fort.
