Your doggies will adore this sweet retreat with its idyllic countryside setting and cosy indoor space where they can sleep in close proximity to their masters. It’s buried in a peaceful rural spot, 1.5 miles from the nearest pub and shop, right near the Devon and Cornwall border, offering a variety of excellent day trips nearby. Holiday in peaceful bliss in your own company or with your partner in this quirky converted shepherd’s hut featuring all your modern comforts.
The accommodation enjoys an elevated position, making the most of the countryside views. Enter, via a set of steps, into a cosy studio-style living space which combines the lounge, kitchen and king-size bed for an intimate feel. The decor is calming and soothing, in gentle greys and whites. On chilly nights, get the wood-burning stove going to lull your pets into a warm, satisfying sleep, then settle onto the comfortable sofa with a glass of wine. Although small, the kitchen is well-equipped for preparing meals and picnics, and the shower room is surprisingly spacious, with provided bathrobes adding to your comfort. The door opens directly onto the expansive lawn where dogs will love letting off steam. You’ll have garden furniture and a charcoal BBQ/fire pit – lovely for al fresco dining (if you’re having a sizzle-up, be sure to throw on an extra sausage or two for the pets!). You’ll also have access to excellent shared facilities such as a cedar barrel sauna (small charge applies), a lakeside summer house with an honesty bar and bar billiards table, and garden games.
There’s so much to do with your pet nearby, with Roadford Lake (3.5 miles) offering excellent sailing and hiking opportunities. You’ll also have easy access to Dartmoor National Park (14 miles), which is a true paradise for dogs, with its plentiful wildlife and scenic walking paths. If you’re craving a day out by the sea, drive down to Bude (17.5 miles) where you can join the South West Coast Path and discover remote dog-friendly beaches.
