Set within 70 acres of land close to Exmoor, this inviting little cottage will set tails wagging with country walks, days at the beach and stargazing on tap. Perfect for couples (and two four-legged friends) seeking get-away-from-it-all relaxation, it boasts a restful interior, an enclosed garden where pups can play safely and a hot tub with panoramic views.

Positioned close to the burbling River Mole, and reached via a private lane, this studio-style property offers soothing rural ambience combined with enticing modern comforts. In the welcoming living area, an apex ceiling enhances the feeling of space, while large windows and French doors offer spectacular views. An open-plan layout allows humans and pets to spend time relaxing together after days in the great outdoors. Pop a bowl on the tiled floor for your pet as you conjure up a delicious meal in the compact kitchen, which includes a microwave and a washing machine. Then sink into the plush sofa and admire the views before setting up a movie on the Smart TV, with your dog snuggled at your feet. A double bed and separate shower room complete the boutique interior. Outside, there's a hot tub on the raised terrace at the front, plus a patio and large lawn, ideal for zoomies, at the back. You'll have private parking for two cars.

After exploring the farm around the lodge, head to South Molton, 1 mile, to wander its historic streets, buy delicacies at the twice-weekly market or visit its independent shops and excellent eateries. Quince Honey Farm, 2.5 miles, offers a fascinating day out - and welcomes your furry chums. Exmoor National Park is just 5 miles to the north, where you'll find all kinds of wonderful walks, or you could head to the dog-friendly beach at Sandymere, 22 miles away.

Cottage is perfectly placed for a relaxing break. Dog friendly garden and very friendly horses to greet you over the fence every morning. Host was always contactable and kept us informed of arrival details. Nice touch was a fresh loaf of bread, tea coffee and milk to greet us on arrival. Even towels provided for the dog. Excellent stay.

From the moment we came up the driveway and then saw the property we knew it was perfect! Very clean and tidy, lovely gesture of offering tea coffee milk and bread. The bed was made and towels ready. Bathroom immaculate and the shower was really powerful! Nice to have a smart TV with even Bluetooth speakers outside. The best part was sitting in theRead more hot tub with a bottle of bubbly and thinking of what tomorrow would bring. Hide
