Overview
Property code: 85452

Set in beautiful and tranquil countryside, this delightful cottage provides a brilliant base for exploring the whole of Devon, with Dartmoor on the doorstep and the coast nearby.

Enjoy a complete getaway when you stay in tranquil Hittisleigh and bring your best furry friend with you. Set within the beautiful grounds of the owner’s own property, the one-bedroom holiday home sleeps two guests and one contented canine companion and is situated less than 1.5 miles from the fringes of Dartmoor National Park. Perfect for a couple’s break and ideal for anyone who enjoys spending time in the great outdoors, the cottage’s fabulous location is sure to set ears pricking up and tails wagging.

Climb the external steps into the cottage and enter to find an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Let Rover explore while you settle on the comfortable seating and enjoy a cup of tea and watch the Smart TV. Make your way to the kitchen to prepare dinner for everyone and then enjoy a romantic meal for two at the table while your pal has an after-dinner nap. Settle him for the night then follow the spiral staircase down to the ground floor. Run yourself a hot bubble bath in the bathroom before enjoying a good night’s sleep in the king-size bedroom. Take Rover out into the fresh air every morning and let him run to his heart’s content in the orchard or lawned area. Have breakfast, lunch or dinner out in the sunshine on fine days and enjoy the serenity of the setting before heading off on an adventure. There is parking for one car at the property.

Lace up your boots, grab the lead and strike out towards Dartmoor. Visit the National Trust’s Castle Drogo, 5 miles from your base and above the Teign Gorge within the national park. Dogs are welcome to explore the beautiful estate here with you. Five-acre Stone Lane Gardens, also 5 miles away and in Dartmoor, is also open to four-legged visitors.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Barn, inside is well equipped, clean and to a high standard. However, the outdoor space was the main attraction for us. set is beautiful surroundings, our german shepherd dog spent every second exploring and foraging to his hearts content and whilst the owners are onsite do not let this put you off because theyRead more are so welcoming and friendly but leave you to enjoy your holiday, you wouldnt even know theyre there.

What a beautiful retreat. A lovely farm away from the madness of the world. We had a fabulous stay at The Barn. It was very comfortable and we slept well throughout. Our dog loved the outdoor space and we loved exploring the farm and visiting the nearby walks and villages. The hosts were extremely helpful and gave advice on places to visit.

Beautifully appointed cottage in idyllic surroundings, so peaceful and quiet. Lovely and very "on hand" owner if needed. Be aware, cottage remote, at end of 4 mile single track road but worth the effort. Shop and petrol 4 miles away too. Perfect retreat but also easy access to Dartmoor and coastal Devon, didn't experience too much heavy traffic

cottage is a little quirky gem! Viv and Stuart were so welcoming and kind, but gave you your privacy. The cottage grounds are delightful and Willow loved exploring. The area is off the beaten track, but very dog friendly and all surrounding pubs welcomed dogs. A lovely, peaceful, tranquil place to relax and unwind. A lovely welcome hamper too!

Nice quiet relaxing stay. The barn was well equipped for a couple and dog. Garden was mature and well kept. Wildlife everywhere and only noises to hear were horses, cows and sheep. Location was good for local walks on bridleways or at Fingle Bridge by the river. 40 minutes to the coast. Had a beautiful week.
