Nestled amidst sweeping countryside in South Devon, this converted barn offers a luxurious spot for a romantic getaway for two guests and their dog. It’s part of a cluster of four cottages in Broadhempston, a sweet village 5.5 miles north of the bohemian market town of Totnes. Thanks to its cosy wood burner, and indulgent shared hot tub and swimming pool, this accommodation provides a truly tranquil and home away from home. Soak away your stresses and strains after busy days exploring lush scenic spots like the Dartmoor National Park (11.5 miles) with your partner and pet.
You’ll climb up five steps to reach the front door of this delightful cottage, which is made from gorgeous untreated stone for a charming rustic feel. The tastefully decorated living and dining area boasts traditional features like white-painted stone walls and wooden beams overhead. In the evenings, snuggle up with your other half and lose yourself in a film on the Smart TV while your pet sinks into a deep doggie sleep by the cosy wood burner. The sweet kitchen is ideal for cooking up yummy meals, and there’s a handy shared laundry room available for your washing. In fine weather, while away a few hours enjoying the shared outdoor space which includes a beautiful orchard and a lawn garden with a table, chairs and a BBQ. You’ll also have access to a dreamy shared veranda where your pet can sniff out the other guests while you lap up the surrounding views.
The property is in a rural location, with a dog-friendly pub and shop less than a mile away. For a day out by the sea, we recommend heading to Torquay (10.5 miles), where you can take your furry companion for runs on the beach before enjoying booking a romantic meal for two in one of the town’s many excellent eateries.
