For a doggie-pleasing getaway right on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, stay at this charming wooden lodge. It’s just 2 miles from the lively town of Okehampton, a welcoming market town with independent shops, a weekly market and woodland walking trails that form part of the popular Tarka Trail. The property’s three bedrooms set you up perfectly for a family trip or a holiday among nature-loving friends.
On arrival, step up from the lawn and onto the decking of this lodge, then into the open-plan living area. This inviting space has dual-aspect windows allowing plenty of light in, and an attractive neutral decor with stylish oak furniture and artwork on the walls. After busy days out exploring the moors, sink into one of the plush sofas and switch on the Smart TV while your pets laze at your feet. And when it’s time for some shut-eye, retire to one of the three comfortable bedrooms: a king-size with its own en-suite and two twins sharing a family bathroom with a shower over bath. Each bedroom comes with a Smart TV for lazy mornings. Outside, your pets can relax on the furnished decked area while you kick back in your private hot tub – bliss! The surrounding grassy areas are also handy for comfort breaks and short dog walks around the grounds. You can make the most of the on-site facilities during your stay, including a dog-friendly pub and restaurant.
The surrounding area offers endless opportunities for dog-friendly activities: the stunning landscapes of Lydford Gorge (8 miles), with its 30-metre-high waterfall, and Roadford Lake (14.5 mile), a man-made reservoir, are both excellent options that should get the bark of approval. Conveniently, the A30 is only 0.5 miles from the property, meaning you and your furry pals can easily access nearby attractions like Exeter, Launceston and Bodmin Moor – all within 25 miles.
