For a beautifully rural getaway within the East Devon National Landscape, stay at this charming, Grade II-listed thatched cottage with your loved ones and pets. The cottage was built around 1625 and combines quaint historic character with the peace and quiet of the countryside. Set in a small village called Kilmington, you'll be just 50 metres from the dog-friendly local pub - perfect for a post-dinner pint after a day of adventure.
On arrival, step through the charming Dutch door and into the cosy lounge, complete with an inglenook fireplace for a rustic appearance. Dogs can snooze by the wood-burner-effect electric fire while the humans sink into the plush seating, perhaps switching on the Smart TV. The farmhouse-style kitchen, complete with a large dining table, creates a welcoming hub for cooking and eating together. A handy downstairs shower room and WC are tucked away. Upstairs, the first double bedroom is bright and airy with a lovely window seat, while the single bedroom boasts a sunny view of the lane. You'll also have a family bathroom with a bath and hand-held shower, plus a sloped ceiling to add a touch of cottage charm. In true olde worlde style, the second bedroom is located through the bathroom. Outside, there's a lawn for stretching furry legs and raised decking for sunbathing with a glass of something cold. While there's no private parking, free spaces are available in the lane outside.
You'll have miles of scenic walking routes on your doorstep, including the wildlife-rich National Trust site at Lambert's Castle (7 miles), where dogs are very much welcome to explore the hillforts with you. For a day out by the sea, head to Seaton (8 miles), where you can also take your pets on the tramway for a dose of nostalgia and some fabulous photo opportunities!
