Surrounded by the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this traditional stone-built cottage comes complete with wonderful original features, a cosy living room and an attractive walled garden - the perfect West Country retreat for a couple or family alongside a couple of canine companions.

Step through the door and be greeted by exposed wooden beams, quaint furnishings, and unique artworks adorning the walls. On the ground floor, the lounge/diner is the perfect place to relax and unwind, with a wood burner-effect gas fireplace that Rover is sure to adore, and a dining area with a table set for six. For lazy morning brunches, the kitchen with an additional breakfast table is just next door. And if you need extra sleeping quarters, a second sitting room with a sofa bed is also available on the ground floor. Upstairs, a steep cottage-style staircase leads to the first floor, where you''ll find a family bathroom and two pretty bedrooms with an extra children''s Z-bed available for use in either room. Outside, the attractive walled garden at the rear of the property is the perfect spot to soak up the summer sun while Fido safely explores the fully enclosed borders.

From scenic walks and trails to pet-friendly pubs and cafes, there''s no shortage of dog-friendly activities in the area. The East Devon Way, a 40-mile footpath that runs from Exmouth to Lyme Regis, passes through Colyton, offering breathtaking views of the Jurassic Coast and the surrounding countryside with plenty for inquisitive hounds to investigate along the way. Alternatively, head to the seaside at Seaton (3 miles), where most of the sweeping shoreline is open for four-legged friends to frolic year-round. Dogs are also welcome on board the vintage trams at the Seaton Tramway, which run along a scenic route through the Axe Valley. You can hop on and off at various stops, including the historic village of Colyford.

Well equipped cottage in a really lovely location. The price was very reasonable which I assume is down to the age of the internal decoration and furniture.

While the cottage was lovely and well equipped, and the location great, we did find the armchairs and sofa very uncomfortable, especially after a long day of walking.

What can we say? Such a lovely, cozy cottage, equipped with everything you could possibly need. The garden is beautiful and the dogs loved it. We didnt have any problems with parking however this may be different further into the holiday season. Although, you could drop the least mobile outside, then go and park vehicle in nearby lane or even caRead morer park (5 minutes walk). Such a lovely cottage and excellent value for money. We will be coming back. Hide
