This beautifully converted barn on Dartmoor is an idyllic location for a relaxing trip with your partner and pet – or a solo trip where you can spend some alone time accompanied by your faithful companion. It’s located in Yelverton, a lovely Devon village with local shops, cafes and dog-friendly pubs and restaurants all within 0.5 miles. The property has a lovely rustic aesthetic and a super cosy interior, so you feel right at home. And when it’s time to explore, you’ll have an abundance of tail-waggingly good walking trails beginning from your front door.
Enter the single-level ground-floor property and take a moment to admire the lovely exposed stone walls and wooden ceiling beams, then pop the kettle on for a welcoming cuppa in the cosy kitchen/lounge. As you sip, your pet can nestle at your feet while you unwind on the large sofa or armchair. There’s also a TV and DVD player for some easy evening entertainment. The small but perfectly formed kitchen has everything for meal prep. A super-king-size bedroom with en-suite rainfall shower completes the attractive interior. While the secluded garden outside is not available for dogs, it provides a peaceful spot for listening to the birds and enjoying the fresh air. The good news is that there are great places nearby where they can be walked: a lane directly opposite the property and another lane behind us that leads to a field.
Locally, you can make a beeline for Burrator Reservoir (3 miles) and explore granite outcrops (known as tors) and open moorland as your pet trots on happily ahead. Take your four-legged pal for runs in Dittisham Wood (3 miles) or head to Tavistock, a historical market town and UNESCO World Heritage Site for its mining history (5 miles). At Plymouth (10 miles) you can enjoy an urban day out by the sea.
