This cosy, traditional cottage is perfectly placed for exploring the beautiful Dartmoor National Park with its rugged tors, open moorland and tumbling rivers. Set on the outskirts of the pretty village of Horrabridge, which is less than 0.5 miles away, this lovely, rural holiday home sleeps four guests and one canine companion. With thrilling new scents to investigate, your pet will be in dog heaven as you discover Dartmoor’s glorious open spaces and panoramic views together.
A small porch leads into the light and welcoming lounge, with a comfortable plush sofa in front of a wood burner and French doors opening onto the spacious patio area. Next to the pretty, country-style kitchen is a useful utility room, where you can store walking boots and wash muddy paws. Upstairs, you’ll find a family shower room and two inviting bedrooms both furnished in soft tones. One is a twin and the other a super-king-size room with wonderful countryside views. Outside, is the front patio and at the rear, steep steps up to a lawn with seating.
The village of Horrabridge is renowned for its fine medieval bridge over the River Walkham, which runs through the village. Here you’ll find a shop, bakery, two pubs and a popular chip shop, ideal for a tasty takeaway supper. There are more shops in Yelverton (2 miles) and a trip to the historic Pannier Market in Tavistock (4 miles) is a must. Burrator Reservoir (4.5 miles) is surrounded by woodland, with a wealth of footpaths, including a 3.5-mile circular route around the water which your dog will love bounding along. Many paths lead up onto Dartmoor, where there are trails to suit all dogs and their families, from easy walks to more challenging hikes. Why not visit 700-year-old Buckland Abbey (3.2 miles) and wander the beautiful grounds? Four-legged friends are welcome but please keep them on a lead.
